The tallest man to ever tend the twine of a National Hockey League goal, Ben Bishop enjoyed a career that spanned a total of 413 NHL games over 13 seasons with St. Louis, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles, and Dallas. A three-time Vezina Trophy finalist during his time in the NHL, offered here is this Tampa Bay Lightning jersey worn by Bishop during the 2016-17 season. Made by Reebok, both "Goalie Style" and size "58+" labels are affixed to the inner collar while the crests of both the NHL and Reebok adorn the front and reverse necklines respectively. A faux tie-neck style garment that is decorated over the front with a Tampa Bay team crest in single layer blue tackle twill with "Tampa Bay" spelt out above it in matching style individually applied twill letters, matching alternate logo patches have been added atop of both shoulders. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Bishop's number "30" in stacked tri-layer tackle twill numerals, "Bishop" is spelt out in single layer blue twill letters across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Exhibiting good game-wear, puck marks are found over the front and both sleeves while red post paint transfer marks are observed over both elbows and the lower reverse as well. Having had a Lighting team tag sewn inside the reverse hem that denotes the jersey as a "2016-17 Season Official Game Jersey" offering, a Lightning hologram has been added over the fight strap, matching the one on the accompanying Lightning COA.
Regarding the photo-match, the jersey has been photo-matched with Getty Image #628382016 (December 4th, 2016 vs Pittsburgh) to the puck marks over Bishop's right elbow.
