**About This Item:**
Up for sale is an incredibly rare piece of hockey history—a blank China Sharks jersey from their brief two-year run in the Asia League Ice Hockey. Formed as an international development partnership by Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment (parent company of the San Jose Sharks), this team existed for only two seasons before the partnership dissolved.
This jersey features the iconic un-baroned \"Slapshark\" crest on the chest with Chinese characters (中国鲨鱼), a Chinese flag patch on the right shoulder, and the classic San Jose Sharks secondary logo on the left sleeve.
Because of the short lifespan of the team, these jerseys are incredibly difficult to find in North America and are considered a \"holy grail\" piece for collectors of obscure, international, and minor league hockey jerseys.
