These Sidney Crosby game model gloves were made specifically for Crosby and are the same model which he uses now depending on the team's uniform selection. Crosby uses multiple pairs of gloves each season, and in fact has gloves that he uses in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd period of each game. These gloves have the #1 written on the palm which signifies that they would have been a set of 1st period gloves had he used them. As he does not like to change equipment often, he would rather have repairs made to something he likes rather than change if the option is there, which is most likely the reason for him not using these gloves. The signature shown on the gloves is a template and will be signed at our next signing with him in the same place either in gold, black or blue. These gloves would make an amazing addition to any collection. The gloves come with a hologram and certificate from Frameworth to verify its authenticity.
