Originally drafted 88th overall by the Minnesota North Stars at the 1992 NHL Entry Draft, Jere Lehtinen would go on to play a total of 875 games in the National Hockey League over the course of his career, all in a Dallas Stars uniform. Winning a Stanley Cup with Dallas in 1999 and winning the Selke Trophy on a trio of occasions, Lehtinen would be inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2018. Wearing the colours of Finland on numerous occasions throughout his career, winning four (4) Olympic medals, a silver at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and four (4) medals at the IIHF World Championships, including a gold in 1995, offered here is this Team Finland jersey worn by Lehtinen at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, where he would help the team to a bronze medal. Made by Nike, a "swoosh" logo and a size "60" 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 as well. 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, Lehtinen's number "26" has been sewn over the sleeves and verso in single layer white tackle twill numerals while "Lehtinen" 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 game-wear via board burns over the lower front, lower reverse and both sleeves while both cuffs show some light staining as well.
