First gaining notoriety while playing for the United Stated National Team Development Program squad and helping Team USA to a gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Champioships, Seth Jones would be drafted 4th overall by the Nashville Predators at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Playing a lone season of junior hockey with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League in 2012-13 and recording 56 points in 61 games played as Portland won the Ed Chynoweth Cup as champions of the WHL and advanced all the way to the Memorial Cup Finals, offered here is this Winterhawks jersey worn by Jones for a portion of the season, and its been photo-matched! Made by Reebok and featuring a Reebok/CHL label affixed to the inner collar along with a "58" size tag, additional Reebok crests have been added over the reverse neckline and left breast while a CHL league patch is in place over the reverse hem. Decorated over the front of the jersey with a Winterhawks team crest that mimics the logo used by the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks and featured embroidered details throughout, matching crossed tomahawk patches have been placed over both shoulders while a WHL league crest is sewn on over the right breast. Also having had the 2013 Memorial Cup patch added over the right breast as well, it is believed that the jersey was patched as a backup for the tournament as images from as last as Portland's semi-finals game against the London Knights appear to show Jones wearing a different jersey based on the wear patterns observed. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Jones' number "3" in dual layer white-over-black tackle twill numerals, "Jones" is spelt out in single layer white twill letters that have been affixed directly to the material of the jersey at the top of the reverse. Exhibiting good game-wear, un-repaired small holes are present in both sleeves as well as board burns and stick marks. Also showing additional stick marks over the lower front and reverse with more board burns over the lower right hip area as well, good pilling is present on the interior in the areas of both forearms and behind the fight strap. Regarding the photo-matches, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #161684320 (January 21st, 2013 - Sports Illustrated Photo Shoot) to the small un-repaired hole on the left sleeve as well as to an additional internet image taken of Jones during the season that is matched to the now mostly washed out black stick mark near the bottom white stripe of the right sleeve. A portion of the proceeds from the jersey will be donated to the Winterhawks Education Fund.
