Hockey Movie Jersey? Thoughts?

[Nathan]

A shot in the dark here but who better to ask? This is a heavy knit jersey with a stamp from the Hollywood Costume Company in the hem. It has all sewn numbers and lettering and reinforced elbows and shoulders. Only tagging is a Stall and Dean type flag tag of size 44 also in hem. Pro quality from perhaps as early as the 1950's or 60's. No clue what movie it is from - any ideas? Thanks!

It might be from the movie "The Rocket". Since it was set in the 40s and 50s, this would be the style the Rangers used. In addition, there was a scene that featured a Montreal/NY game.

Throwing this one back out there.
For maybe 10 years now, I have had this heavy knit jersey with a stamp from the "Western Costume Co., Hollywood, Calif" in the hem. It has all sewn numbers and lettering and reinforced elbows and shoulders. Only tagging is a Stall and Dean type flag tag of size 44 also in hem. Pro quality from perhaps as early as the 1950's or 60's. No clue what movie it is from - any ideas? Thanks!

Maybe a long shot, but maybe Joe Maddalena of Profiles in History can help you out. He has a TV show on SyFy called Hollywood Treasures, where they auction off all kinds of Hollywood memorabilia. Maybe he or someone that works there can give you more info about your jersey. Here is their internet contact form:
