A product of the United States National Team Development Program who recently completed his second season of NCAA hockey playing with the Michigan State University Spartans, Isaac Howard, drafted 31st overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2022 and considered one of their top prospects, has led the United States to a silver medal at the 2022 IIHF U18 World Championships and a gold medal at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championships. Also having helped the Spartans to a BIG 10 Conference championship in 2024, offered here is this Team USA United States National Team Development Program jersey worn by Howard in USHL games during the 2021-22 season of play. Made by Nike and sporting an affixed "IIHF Authentic Collection" label on the inner collar below screened on size "54" and "Made in Canada" designations, a Nike swoosh logo appears in the same place as well. A classic tie-neck style garment based off the jerseys Team USA wore at the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, the front is decorated with "USA" going diagonally down the chest in dual layer blue-over-red drop-shadow tackle twill numerals while the NTDP crest in in place over the left breast and a Nike swoosh over the left breast. Styled over the sleeves and verso with Howard's number "3" in matching style numerals, "Howard" is spelt out in single layer blue twill numerals that have been heat pressed on across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Exhibiting good game-wear, stick marks are observed over the front, reverse and both sleeves while each sleeve also shows patched team repairs. Also displaying light board burns over both sleeves, a small red board paint transfer spot over the right sleeve and an unrepaired hole over the left sleeve, the original fight strap is present on the interior as is good pilling. Accompanied by a USA Hockey LOA, the jersey has been photo-matched to an image taken of Howard during the season that shows the stick mark underneath the Nike swoosh over the right breast.
