The brother of Adrian Kempe and a veteran of seventy (70) National Hockey League games with the Arizona Coyotes after being drafted 122nd overall by the Philadelphia Flyers at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Mario Kempe would develop in the system of Modo in his native Sweden before coming over to North America and playing a pair of seasons in the QMJHL with the St. John's Fog Devils. Also having worn the blue and yellow national team colours of Sweden on a few occasions, offered here is this Team Sweden jersey worn by Kempe at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championships. Made by Nike, size "58", "Made in Canada" and Swoosh logos have been screened on to the inner collar above a sewn on "IIHF Authentic Collection" label while an IIHF logo patch has been added over the reverse hem. Sporting an additional Nike Swoosh logo over the right breast, the front of the jersey is decorated with Sweden's three crowns team crest in tackle twill style with a thin metallic blue vinyl layer around the edge of each. Also having had the logo of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association sublimated into the material atop of both shoulders, matching "Svenska Spel" sponsorship patches have been sewn on over both sleeves as well. Having been styled over the sleeves and verso with Kempe's number "29" in dual layer sublimated twill numerals that have been heat-pressed on, "M. Kempe" has been spelt out in single layer yellow twill numerals that have been heat pressed on across the affixed matching nameplate at the top of the reverse. Sporting its original fight strap on the interior as well as a Nike Team Sports barcode label, the jersey shows good game-wear via board burns over both sleeves, including a heavy cluster over the left sleeve that has resulted in unrepaired holes as well, and a stick mark over the right sleeve. Also showing additional board burns over the left shoulder and light stick marks behind the left elbow, the jersey comes accompanied by a Swedish Ice Hockey Association LOA.
