Thats because it WASN'T the pedestal jersey, but rather the oversized C the following year
Steve Smith was the captain for the 2000-2001 seasons and suffered a concussion at the beginning of the seasons and retired as a result. Dave Lowry was then named captain in December of that season. Iginla received Lowry's A as a result
I remember this specifically because I was a stupid kid at the time and had orderd the new pro jersey from the fanaattic. I requested that they put a A on the Iginla jersey even though he wasn't the assistant. I was just a kid at the time and didn't know better. Since I was spending so much on a jersey I wanted the Atlanta A on it as well because I thought it was cool.
A little over a month into the season Smith goes down and Jarome was given the A.
Edited - maybe Jarome received it for a game during the pedestal era, as honestly I wouldn't remember, but he wasn't named assistant till after what I described.
