Vintage 1994 Western Conference Semi-Finals Toronto Maple Leafs vs. San Jose Sharks T-Shirt

This is a vintage short-sleeved t-shirt from the 1994 Western Conference Semi-Finals, featuring a graphic print of the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks. The shirt is a vibrant, bright turquoise or teal color, likely made from 100% cotton based on typical vintage t-shirt construction, and appears to be a standard crew neck style. The front graphic is centrally located and prominently displays the text '19 Western Conference 94 Semi FINALS' at the top. Below this, there are two hockey goalie masks facing each other: the one on the left represents the Toronto Maple Leafs with their distinct leaf logo integrated into the mask design and color scheme (blue and white), and the one on the right represents the San Jose Sharks with a shark motif and their team colors (white and teal/black). A hockey puck with a smaller trophy-like image is positioned between the two masks. Below the masks, the text 'TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS vs SHARKS' further clarifies the event. The graphic colors are bold and appear well-preserved, though some minor cracking or fading might be present upon closer inspection, typical for a shirt of this age. The shirt itself shows some signs of wear consistent with its age, including minor creasing and some general softening of the fabric, but no apparent major tears, holes, or significant stains are visible from the image. The manufacturing tag, possibly 'Gildan', is partially visible at the back collar, suggesting a mass-produced item. The shirt embodies 1990s sports apparel aesthetics, characterized by its bright color and bold graphic design, making it a collectible for hockey enthusiasts or vintage apparel collectors. The craftsmanship appears standard for licensed sports merchandise of the era.
