This is a 1999-00 Pro Player jersey, which the Sabres wore for the 1999-00 season. Thus they are very hard to find. The 2000 patch is authentic, and loose/included with the jersey, but anyone with a sewing machine can stitch it down with a simple zig zag stitch.
99-00 was Brown's best year with the Sabres, where he finished second in scoring on the team just behind Miro Satan!
If you're a hardcore sabres collector, it's hard to find a cooler/more niche jersey than this!
