The younger brother of Saku Koivu who was drafted 6th overall by the Minnesota Wild at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Mikko Koivu would play a total of 1035 games over the course of his National Hockey League career, with all but seven (7) of them spent in a Minnesota uniform. Suiting up in the blue and white of Finland on numerous occasions over the course of his career, winning Olympic medals in 2006 (silver) and 2010 (bronze), Koivu would also help his country to many IIHF World Championship medals as well, including a gold in 2011. Offered here, we present this jersey worn by Koivu at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver where Finland claimed the bronze medal. Made by Nike, a "swoosh" logo and a size "58" designation are screened to the inner collar along with a matching "Made in Canada" notation and an "IIHF Authentic Collection" label that has been sewn in. Sporting a 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics logo patch over the reverse hem, the jersey is a heritage style garment based off what was worn by the Federations National Team's up until 1976. Styled over the front with "Suomi" in dual layer red-over-white tackle twill letters that have been sewn on in a gentle arch above a vintage style Finland Coat of Arms team crest that features embroidered details throughout, Koivu's number "9" has been sewn over the sleeves and verso in single layer white tackle twill numerals while "Koivu" is spelt out in matching style letters that have been heat pressed across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Featuring a Nike Team Sports barcode, that is starting to peel off, and fight strap on the interior, the jersey exhibits just light game-wear via a lone board burn over the left elbow and a small stick mark underneath that.
