The last active player to suit up during the decade of the 1990s and the last active player to have played in an NHL game that Wayne Gretzky was a part of, Joe Thornton enjoyed a National Hockey League career that saw him register 1539 points in 1714 games played. Offered here, we present this San Jose Sharks jersey worn by “Jumbo Joe” during the 2014-15 season. Made by Reebok and sporting a single size “58+” tag affixed to the inner collar the emblems of both the NHL and Reebok adorn the front and back necklines of the garment respectively. Decorated over the front of the tie-neck style garment with a Sharks team crest that features embroidered details, the esteemed alternate captain’s “A” is found over the left breast while matching Sharks logo patches reside over each shoulder. Accented over the right breast, sleeves and verso with Thornton’s number “19” in dual layer white-over-black tackle twill numerals, “Thornton” is spelt out in matching style across the affixed matching nameplate. Exhibiting overall light game-use via board burns near the cuff of the left sleeve and a small number of light stick marks over the front, the jersey is photo-matched with Getty Image #460967906 (December 20th, 2014 vs St. Louis) to the loose threads off the “9” of the left sleeve as well as with Getty Images #461127978 and #461127998 (December 30th, 2014 vs Vancouver) to a board burn near the left cuff and loose threads off the “9” of the left sleeve. A Sharks team tag denoting the jersey as a 2014-2015 offering issued to Thornton is heat screened inside the rear hem and is accompanied by a Sharks team LOA, an inventory list from Detroit Hockey Company, a MeiGray LOA reiterating the photo-matches as well as their certificate of registration.
