Notes:
- This set had a much more durable, heavy Dureen than the black-writing 81-82 Sandows
- The 82-83 jerseys were likely used in the 82 playoffs and recycled for use this season. Some jerseys have nameplate removals due to possible preseason usage in either 82 or the following 83 preseason. If they were used in the 83 pre, the nameplates were restored previous to their sale.
- Most jerseys found in the regular season set had not only dazzle numbers, but the crests were also dazzle material.
- The playoff jerseys featured dazzle numbers, but the regular matte crests.
- Small cloth fight strap
- First set with “Gunzo’s” appearing on the hem
- In the playoffs, the team switched to a mesh jersey for the first time. Interestingly, the rear hem on these jerseys had two variations. One mimicked the regular season shirts with both Gunzo's and Sandow SK on the rear hem. But several players also wore a jersey with only Gunzo's on the rear hem, the only time Gunzo's was ever alone on the hem for the Hawks. Both of these variations are seen on the ice at the same time during the playoffs.
- Most of these mesh playoff jerseys had their nameplates removed and were recycled to the Portland Winterhawks.
Dureen Tagging - the less legible is washing instructions.
