Selected eighth overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, William Nylander has spent his entire career with the Maple Leafs at the time of this writing, seemingly getting better with each passing season and registering the first 40 goal campaign of his career in 2022-23. From the 2021-22 season, we offer this jersey worn by Nylander and it’s been photo-matched! An Adidas band with “56” sizing resides over the inner collar, with NHL and Adidas crests over the front and reverse necklines respectively. Featuring a vintage style Leafs team crest with “Toronto Maple Leafs” embroidered into it, Nylander's number “88” appears over the sleeves and verso in oversized single layer navy twill numerals while “Nylander” is spelt out across the affixed matching nameplate in matching style. Additionally, the sleeves have been taken in near each cuff. Worn between December 14th, 2021 and January 19th, 2022 according to the accompanying Leafs LOA and displaying a Catstitch rubberized patch at the top of the fight strap on the interior, the jersey shows strong game-use including stick marks, board burns, coloured board paint transfers and team repairs over both sleeves, including a large cluster of sewn and patched repairs near the right cuff. Also sporting a number of small unrepaired cuts/holes over both sleeves as well, light pilling is observed on the interior, along with the fight strap and original team store tag that is found inside the left hip. Featuring a Leafs team inventory tag numbered “TML00000131” pressed to the inner collar, a matching LOA from the Maple Leafs will accompany.
Regarding the photo-match, the jersey has been matched with Getty Image #1366283332 (January 19th, 2022 vs New York) to the team repair in the bottom portion of the left sleeve as well as to the small board burn in the bottom blue stripe of the left sleeve as well. Additionally, Getty Image #1237753475 (January 15th, 2022 vs St. Louis) has been matched to the holes over the right forearm that are now part of the heavy cluster of repairs in the same area
