A veteran of 679 National Hockey League contests with both the Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils after Vancouver drafted him 175th overall in 1980, Patrik Sundstrom would also present his native Sweden on numerous occasions, medaling at tournaments including the World Juniors, World Championships and Canada Cup. Offered here, we present this Vancouver Canucks jersey worn by Sundstrom during the 1985-86 season. Made by CCM, washed out CCM and born-on date tagging reading "85 04" is affixed to the inner collar while a gigantic CCM logo patch has been added over the reverse hem. Decorated over the front with a Canucks "flying skate" team crest that features embroidered details throughout, the Expo 86 patch worn by the team during the year is still in place over the right breast while the City of Vancouver's 100th anniversary crest has been added over the right sleeve. Accented over the sleeves and verso with Sundstrom's number "17" in dual layer yellow-over-orange stacked tackle twill numerals, "Sundstrom" is spelt out in matching style across the affixed matching nameplate across the top of the reverse. Exhibiting good game-wear, stick marks are observed over the front, reverse and both sleeves while board burns through the body and both sleeves as well. Featuring additional wear through team repairs, totaling fourteen (14) by our count, over the lower front, reverse and both sleeves, small unpaired holes seen over the right and left sleeve and some light pilling/fabric snags, wear on the interior includes pilling at the elbows and lower reverse plus heavy rusting and salting of the fight strap. It should also be noted that the nameplate is an original though was removed and reattached at some point with the outline of its former placement observed over the upper back. Additionally, the jersey has been photo-matched to an included undated image of Sundstrom taken during that season to the now washed out black stick mark seen between the "C" and "A" in "Canucks" through the team crest as well as three other washed-out black stick marks (3) in the team's crest.
