Routinely suiting up in the white and blue of his native Finland throughout the course of his career and helping the nation rack up numerous medals and awards, Jussi Jokinen would win Olympic medals in 2006 (silver), 2014 (bronze), World Championship medals in 2006 (bronze), 2008 (bronze) and 2016 (silver), a World U18 bronze in 2001 and World Junior Championship bronze in both 2002 and 2003. Offered here, we present this Team Finland jersey worn by Jokinen at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Made by Nike, a "swoosh" logo and a size "60" designation are screened to the inner collar along with a matching "Made in Canada" notation and an "IIHF Authentic Collection" label that has been sewn in. Sporting a 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics logo patch over the reverse hem and modelled after Finland's flag, with the blue cross gracing a white background over the front, a Finland coat of arms patch has been heat-pressed over the left breast while the ghostly outline of the country's lion is seen over the left shoulder. Displaying "Suomi" via heat-pressed letters inside the stripes of both sleeves, the aforementioned sleeves and verso and verso have had Jokinen's number "36" sewn to them in either single layer or dual layer tackle twill numerals while "J. Jokinen" is spelt out in single layer blue twill letters that have been heat-pressed across the affixed matching nameplate on the upper reverse. Featuring a Nike Team Sports barcode and fight strap on the interior, the jersey exhibits game-wear via stick marks over the front, lower reverse and both sleeves while a small blue coloured board burn/paint transfer is found over the left hip. Regarding the photo-match, the jersey is matched with Getty Image #469387555 (February 14th, 2014 vs Norway) to the stick marks over the left elbow and small blue coloured board burn/paint transfer on the left hip. Of note, there is a light amount of blue coloured bleed throughout the piece as is commonly seen on these Nike Swift model international jerseys.
