TXHT Jersey Share – From the Rising Sun

Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at another quality Women’s Hockey jersey from the NWHL’s inaugural season.

So for those who don’t follow the NWHL, which you should by the way, in the first two seasons of the league the Riveters were known as the New York Riveters before they did their partnership with the New Jersey Devils going into the 2017-18 season when they would change New York to Metropolitan.

For my second NWHL jersey I chose Nana Fujimoto of the Riveters because I thought it was really cool to have Fujimoto in the league as the first professional Japanese Women’s Hockey player. Also the overall design of the first Riveters jersey is very different and very innovative at the same time.

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.
