- Caption
- Seth Jones became the highest-drafted African American in National Hockey League (NHL) history when he was selected fourth overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2013 NHL Draft.
- After being traded to Columbus Blue Jackets in 2016, Jones has established himself as a three-time All-Star for the Blue Jackets and one of the best defensemen in the entire NHL. Known as a fierce and relentless defender, Jones is a versatile star who can also score goals and dish out assists. Jones has become an African American star in a sport that has been slow to embrace diversity. Despite a record 28 black players playing in the NHL during the 2017-18 season, blacks accounted for roughly only three percent of the league.
- Description

The jersey is navy blue with white, red, and silver accents.

Red and white lines run from the proper left sleeve cuff to the proper right sleeve cuff. The bottom of the jersey is white with a red accent. The back of the jersey is mostly navy blue and has [Jones] in white lettering at center. Above the name is a white Adidas logo. Below the name is a large number [3] in white and edged in red. Red and white lines run from proper left sleeve cuff to the proper right sleeve cuff. The bottom of the jersey is white with a red accent. The interior of the jersey has several tags and a set of fight straps. At the neck a black tag with white lettering that reads [Made in Canada / Hencho En Canada /Fabrique au Canada / adidas (with logo) / USA 58 / E 58 / CDN 58\. A white tag with blue and black lettering on the interior bottom reads [MeiGrayGroup / NHL Game-Worn Jersey / 2019-20 Season/ S01766]. Another tag on the interior bottom has an image of Rich Street bridge next to black text that reads reads [2019-20 Season / (Blue Jackets logo) / Official Game Jersey / Tim LeRoy Equiptment Manager/ Columbus Blue Jackets].
