TXHT Jersey Share – It’s a Beaut-y

It’s the ladies turn on TXHT Jersey Share as we take a look at our first Women’s Hockey jersey with the Buffalo Beauts of the NWHL.

This is from the NWHL’s inaugural season in 2015-16, and this also marks the Beauts lone Gray jersey that they’ve worn in their team history. For the player I selected was Hayley Williams. Little known fact, but Hayley was a regular on the first season of the TXHT Podcast, and even co-hosted some episodes after the NWHL season concluded.

Going back to the jersey, I really like the names underneath the jersey numbers. Really cool concept, and one that is done over in Europe too. Overall a really cool jersey, and an awesome piece of history.

Got a hockey jersey in your collection you’d like to share? Let us know, and we can add it to our TXHT Jersey Share series.
