I am very happy to have acquired one of each type of Jean-Marc' Adler Mannheim jerseys. These mark the first European game-worn jerseys to make their way into my collection. The first thing that you will notice is that European jerseys have significantly more advertisements on them than North American ones. They are also a bit more colorful as well. Needless to say they are conversation pieces when I wear them out an about.

You will notice that each jersey has the number 80 on it. Robert Mueller wears number 80 for Mannheim and was their starting goaltender until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which is why Jean-Marc was acquired. As a sign of support for their teammate the number 80 was put on each of their jerseys.

The white jersey (away) was worn in Jean-Marc's first game in Germany, a 2-0 loss to the Cologne Sharks. He also won his first DEL game in this jersey two nights later against the Hanover Scorpions. Both the back of the jersey and right sleeve have a good amount of pipe paint transfer on them. There are also a few puck marks littered on the front as well.

Jean-Marc's home debut for Mannheim was also a success as they won 4-3. The blue jersey has a few puck marks on the front.

Jean-Marc wore the black jersey in two games, one of which being the Pokal Finale against the Cologne Sharks. Being that the jersey is black and worn in two games there is little wear on it.

The gray jersey is the pre-game skate jersey worn by Mannheim. There are a number of puck marks all over the front and sleeves.
