This 5th generation of the "Husky Head" jersey design marked a drastic change from the previous versions.
A modern two color twill "MichiganTech" was featured below the front crest.
Contrasting color shoulder yokes were added along with a more rounded and slanted style of numbering.....
The names were single color sewn on nameplates and were arched over the two color sewn twill back numbers.
The WCHA logo
was emboidered on the right chest and
BAUER
was embroidered on the back hem.....
For the 2001-02 season, all WCHA teams added a
patch
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the WCHA (1951-2001)
to the back of their jerseys. Michigan Tech left them on the home jerseys for the 2002-03 season.....
Since Patterson left MTU after his senior season (2001-02) his nameplate,
as well as the captain's "C" was removed from the jersey.
However, no one wore #18 in 2002-03 so the jersey remained in this state when it was acquired from MTU.....
Obtained from a private collector in February 2004.
