These light weight Maska Batman logo Maple Leafs jersey was first introduced during the1979 playoffs. Harrison wears this home white game used photo matched jersey for the one home playoff game against Montreal and for the following 1979-80 season. These are called Batman Leafs jerseys as the crest looks like the Caped Crusaders logo. All original with really nice wear throughout with the photo match shown of Harrison sitting at the team photo, waiting for the rest of the team to settle in. Harrison wears the number 1 as well this season so a photo of him in the number 30 with this logo, is the exact jersey. The front has 2 nice repairs, one just beside the left side of the crest and one in the blue hem just above the tiny Maska front label. The Leafs crest also has a nice tear, with stains all down the middle and on the sides of the front. The left arm has material runs, fraying and loose stitching at the cuff with discolouration of all the white areas. The left arm has 4 repairs, one large one under the arm pit and shows many material runs, unrepaired holes and general filth and stains. The back has a material run with the fight strap sewing work and the second tiny Maska logo on the hem. Inside out, the Maska tagging still hanging in along with the size tag of Men’s 50. The jersey shows material fraying mainly on the cuffs with the fight strap being of the Maple Leafs variety of the era. A very nice representation of the short-lived Batman logo with great wear and a goalie jersey, will get interest from different kinds of collectors.
