In the year 1917 NHL ice hockey jerseys were not made of a jersey fabric as we know it today. They were made of a heavy wool sweater fabric that was made specifically to keep the players warm as they played the game outdoors in the cold weather.
The hockey sweater as it was then known had little or no color and admittedly, was drab. It was not until 1927 and 1928 that the teams began to get some color and patterns such as stripes, into the various team jerseys.
The ice hockey jerseys changed many times over the years, and as the teams began to play indoors they soon had much more in the way of colors, and were lighter weight.
The lighter weight fabric in today's hockey tops is a synthetic polyester blend. The players like the lighter weight and fans like the new fashions.
Fans, as in every sport league, are an important part of the game. They cheer their favorite teams on at the games and proudly wear the team tee shirt.
As the designs have changed over the years they have become collectibles and every fan wants one. Especially, when it comes to the original hockey sweater.
If you are a collector then you know not to play hockey in your valuable ice hockey jerseys. Sweat and secretions from injuries can ruin them. Keep them on a sturdy hanger covered in plastic in a dry closet. Do not frame them to show them off but take them out, show them off and put them back.
