When you're done admiring Mike Foligno's last jersey in a long NHL career, check out the dazzling novelty that comes with it. That's not chocolate on Vyacheslav Butsayev's Hershey jersey. Those are the streaks and smudges of hard work in a journeyman's career that landed him with the Bears in the 1992-93 season. We're more than semi-sweet on the H-E-R-S-H-E-Y tumbling down the front. The sometimes NHLer's white No. 26 on the back of the maroon polyester mesh took on a red tint in the wash. The equipment manager apparently turned the water dial to hot. Cool skating bear logo on the right shoulder of CCM-issue, Sharp Edge sweater. On the other sweater, Foligno's gamer from '93-'94, the Florida Panther leaps out from the white mesh with teeth and claws bared. Shoulder decal with crossing palm tree and stick will become a classic. If Foligno was to choose a last team to end his 1,018-game, 355-goal career, he could not have picked one with a cooler uniform. Some scuffing and loose threads.
