Is this the only Wings "sweater" around?

Been wanting one of these for awhile, love the retro feel. For some reason though, I felt I seen someone with a different one at a game recently. I found em for $90, I think that's about as good as it gets. Let me know anything you guys know about em...

I have one and quite enjoy it. Something different in a sea of jerseys.

You may have seen this one in the crowd and not gotten a close look at it:

Definitely no retro authenticity to this one! But I admit to liking the little sweater hockey player guys. If it were a sweater with just the bottom pattern instead of a weird jersey-sweater hybrid I would probably wear it.

Anyway, I think the real retro one is awesome. I've been eyeing one of those since I first saw them for sale.

I have two of these that I purchased about 10 years ago. They were replicas of ones worn during the city's 250th anniversary in 1951. They look pretty much identical to the sweaters of the era. At least as close as I could find. I had the numbers rearranged to represent Sid and "Uke". I wear them occasionally to a game. I get a lot of questions about where I got them, when I wear them. So much so, that I looked into starting a business of making vintage hockey sweaters. The licensing issues seemed like endless madness, and decided it wasn't that important after all.

Wow. Definitely never seen that before.

Anymore vintage Wings sweaters available made of wool? Now that's the original sweater.

That one is pretty awesome. Too bad I would look like Patty Roy in it, catching pucks in my over large armpits.

I think I know which sweater I want to wear to my next ugly Christmas sweater party.
