Drafted 99th overall by the Nashville Predators at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Juuse Saros, a product of HPK in Finland, has gone on to become one of the best goalies in the National Hockey League as evident by his selection to the NHL All-Star Game in both 2022 and 2023. Also having represented his native Finland in numerous international tournaments throughout his career thus far at both the junior and senior levels, winning IIHF World Junior Championship gold in 2014, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Saros in pre-tournament games leading up to the 2015 IIHF World Championships. Made by Liiga Sports Wear, a brand label that displays a size "XXXL" designation is affixed to the inner collar of the jersey while a sublimated CCM logo patch has been sewn over the reverse neckline. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Team Finland crest that embroidered details throughout, a smaller association logo is found sublimated into the material underneath the collar while the sleeves and verso have had Saros' number "32" sublimated into them in dual layer blue-over-black numerals. Having had "Saros" spelt out in matching style sublimated letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse, it is worth noting that evidence of two former longer nameplates can be seen at either side of the one that is currently in place. Showing sponsorship logos are sublimated into the material at the top of the back, lower reverse, lower front, collar bones, under the collar, both shoulders and the upper sleeves, the jersey features a fight strap on the interior and shows light game-wear via a couple small puck marks over the front as well as a larger one over the right sleeve. Also showing a couple of light spot stains over the front and left sleeve and a green mark over the reverse hem, the jersey comes accompanied by a matching Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA.
