1994 Oilers # 8 - Game Used Or Retail Jersey? Need a little help

[Preston]

Hey guys,

I found this jersey at a yard sale and am wondering if it's a gamer or a retail jersey? It's got light wear and no nameplate, and was manufactured by Wilson. Pretty certain Wilson did make Oilers game jerseys at one point.

Do I have something here or is it just a nice retail? Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Preston,

The Oilers did indeed use Wison for their whites in 1994... I think the problem lies in the numbers. From what I can tell, all gamers from 1994 had the numbers screened on. Dave will probably have a definite answer for you, and it is really a nice jersey regardless (Archie Manning's number from ten years earlier... Sweeeeet!)

A very nice retail piece. The Oilers normally year tagged their Wilson jerseys, plus the lack of any NOB plate outline would not be right for a TI/GU jersey.

Dave or anyone, can you post an example of Oilers year tagging for 94 or 95? I have seen year tagging for 96 only.

Strangely, here's a similar jersey, also with sewn numbers. Preston, you might look inside just in case there are screened numbers under the sewn ones. I know it's a long shot.
