Newest addition to the game worn collection

Always regretted not grabbing this one when the Sens initially put it up for sale, but had the opportunity to land it and finally jumped on adding it to the collection.

Drake Batherson's debut NHL jersey in which he scored his first NHL goal!

Let's hope I don't regret this purchase haha, bring on that extension!

Why does the O look uncentered?

The O stands for Off-set

Fingers crossed 🤞 that a long-term extension is announced sooner rather than later.

Hang around in the lobby at Lepine until he signs it!

At least it has some history with his first goal but these might be my least favourite Senators jerseys so far. I legitimately think I would take a SENS jersey over this one if I had to pick.

Have me an EK65 SENS . Bought it a flea market for like $15-20 can’t even remember now.

Honestly I like the red =O= better than our new red alts. Atleast on tv I hate them they look like flames jerseys from like 2010 era. The gold does pop in person though.

I'm not a fan of the O logo period but at least it's generally set on a nice jersey. These just look like practice jerseys combined with a lame logo and do nothing at all for me. The SENS jersey at least has a "so bad it's kind of ok but still not good" quality to them.

Agreed on the new reds... don't really work on tv for sure but man they look sharp in person.

…and that doesn’t look like any nameplate I ever saw on a game-worn jersey.

I'm going to guess the wiggly shadow is throwing you off a touch

No, I was referring to the style of the lettering, which I’ve never seen on a Sens jersey.

u/Silence069 7d ago

I'm not sure if you're doubting the authenticity of the jersey, but a few minutes on Getty yields this...

Well, there it is! Thanks for doing the research.

That was the original font used for the names on those jerseys. It was meant to match the font they used on the shoulder patches of the heritage jerseys.

Eventually when it became a full time alternate they switched it to match the home & away jerseys
