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. Heading overseas to suit up with Switzerland's HC Davos during the 2020-21 season, where he would post eleven (11) points in twelve (12) games played before returning to North America for the start of the NHL season, offered here is this HC Davos warm-up jersey worn by the man affectionately known to many as "Jumbo Joe". A polyester material garment that has a label affixed to the inner collar that displays Thornton's number "97" as well as a size "XL-S" designation and the logos of the Swiss National League and HC Davos, sublimated Bauer logos are present in the material over the upper arm and reverse neckline. Decorated with more sublimated logos over the front, including those of Davos' shield and the word "Davos", additional logos are observed over the sleeves as well. Also sporting sponsorship logos throughout for "#SportsAgainstCancer", "Dr. Deuring Oehninger", "Caffe Chicco Doro", "Eau-La-La", "New Balance" and "Greenhope - Sports Against Cancer", Thornton's familiar number "97" has been sublimated into the material over the reverse in black letters with "Thornton" in matching style letters underneath that. Remaining in overall excellent condition with no real signs of game-wear being only a warm-up jersey, there is some spot staining throughout both sides of the body and left sleeve that is worth mentioning for accuracy. Additionally, Thornton has signed over the reverse with a black marker ink signature that displays without issue while a notation in matching ink reading "Vs Bern - 11.11.20 - 1g" is found over the lower reverse as well. A letter of authenticity from Greenhope Sports Against Cancer will accompany the piece.
