Population Report
This is the last blue Edmonton Oilers jersey Wayne Gretzky ever wore ... a tremendous piece of history from The Great One.
On August 11, 1997, veteran collector Michael Wexler of Escondido, California
purchased the Edmonton Oilers Collection from owner Peter Pocklington. Wexler purchased over 1000 game-worn jerseys from the Oilers owner. The collection spanned more than 15 years of Edmonton Oilers history: From their inaugural NHL season in 1979-80 through the Dynasty Era of the mid 1980s when the Oilers won four Stanley Cups in five seasons, through the 1989-90 post-Gretzky Cup led by Mark Messier, through the 1991-92 NHL 75th anniversary season, and until the 1995-96 season. This incomparable Cllection featured jerseys worn by Gretzky, Messier, Paul Coffey, Grant Fuhr, Jari Kurri, and Glenn Anderson ... just to name a few.
The MeiGray Group entered into an exclusive agreement to market the collection in 1998.
This blue road Edmonton Oilers Nike mesh jersey was worn by Wayne Gretzky during the 1987-88 NHL regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs. Gretzky wore this jersey throughout road games in the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals, when the Oilers defeated the Boston Bruins in four straight to win their fourth Cup in five seasons. The jersey was purchased from the MeiGray Group on May 2, 2002 and registered into the MeiGrade database as number 111299.

This jersey has been photo-matched to Getty Images number 72832401. This photo was taken during Game Four of the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals on May 24, 1988 at the Boston Garden in Boston, MA.
With the score tied, 3-3, the game was suspended due to a power outage at the Boston Garden. The game was replayed in Edmonton and the Oilers won Game 4 at home, 6-3, to capture the series, 4-0, and their fourth Stanley Cup Championship.
The two Game Fours, one in blue and one in white, were the last two games Gretzky played as an Oiler. On August 9, 1988 the Oilers shocked the hockey world by trading Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings.
This jersey has also been photo-matched to Getty Images number 72562194. This photo was taken during the 1987-88 NHL regular season at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, CA.
The jersey has also been video-matched to Game Four of the 1988 Stanley Cup Finals on May 24, 1988 at the Boston Garden. Clearly visible in game photos are marks on the left hip and right cuff, and the exact loose threads below the nameplate.
