Having enjoyed both a long National Hockey League career thus far, Mikael Granlund has skated in nearly 800 NHL games with the likes of the Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks after being drafted 9th overall at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by Minnesota. Also having represented his native Finland on numerous occasions as well, winning Olympic bronze in 2014 as well as World Championship gold in 2011 and 2022, offered here is this photo-matched Team Finland jersey worn by Granlund at the 2012 IIHF World Championships on home soil in Helsinki, Finland. Made by Nike, size "58", "Made in Canada" and Swoosh logos are screened to the inner collar above an "IIHF Authentic Collection" label that has been sewn in while an IIHF logo patch has been added over the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Team Finland crest that features embroidered details throughout, "Suomi" is spelt out underneath in single layer white tackle twill letters. Displaying another Nike Swoosh logo that has been added over the right breast, matching Team Finland logos have been sublimated into the material over both shoulders. Featuring Finnair sponsorship patches over the upper portion of both sleeves, the sleeves and verso of the jersey have been styled with Granlund's number "64" in single layer white tackle twill numerals while "Granlund" has been spelt out in matching style letters that have been heat-pressed onto the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Sporting a Nike Team Sports barcode on the interior as well as a traditional snap style fight strap, the jersey displays good game-wear via board burns over both sleeves, light stick marks over the front and left sleeve, light red coloured board paint transfer marks over the left sleeve and an unrepaired hole over the left elbow. Accompanied by a Finnish Ice Hockey Association COA, the jersey has been photo-matched to an image of Granlund from Finland's contest against Kazakhstan on May 14th, 2012 that shows the unrepaired hole over the left elbow.
