St. Patrick Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'll be sending my '97 Starter Av's authentic jersey out to be customized. I've been searching for images of Roy's red/blue jersey to send along with the jersey to show the customizer exactly what I want. I've searched getty images, and other sites, but can't find any decent pics of the back of his jersey. Does anyone here have a Roy jersey to help me out?

chow_hound Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 This is his gamer from 1996-1997, not the color scheme you asked for, but the style is correct. http://www.classicauctions.net/Default.aspx?tabid=263&auctionid=54&lotid=219 This is 1997-1998, in the right color scheme. http://www.classicauctions.net/Default.aspx?tabid=263&auctionid=21&lotid=145 Depends what year your starter is, but should give you a good idea.

akteon Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 The big thing with Starter Avs jerseys is the nameplate material. It's hard to come by without cannibalizing another Avs authentic as the burgundy color is somewhat rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lucked out on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah you did. That was yet another example of what made those Starter jerseys so great was them giving you the plates. FYI, EPS has the majority of the old Starter nameplates. I've ordered a few weird ones from them and they came through on all of them. The Avs were one of the ones I got too. That one along with the Blues blue mesh and the white puffy knit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job man that's the biggest hurdle as Burnaby will attest to. Is the nameplate already curved? I'm just thinking with ROY being so short, you might have leftover material for another one down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ooh, that'd be tougher than you think actually Matt. If it comes pre-curved(which it should) then he'd have to throw the ROY dead smack in the middle thus giving him two outer pieces. I suppose he could re-cut either of them to fit another jersey but they could end up looking pretty weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeh that's what I meant - if it's not curved you're good ... if it's curved then no loss (but no free leftovers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Patrick Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 It is curved. But Brilliant brings up a good point. If EPS has that type of material, should I just have them worry about it and save the nameplate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah absolutely. Use their material up first. Who knows? Maybe you get another Starter Avs jersey and decide to get a different name on it. Then you could just buy the kit minus the plate...and have me sew it on for you.

akteon Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Check with EPS - if they throw it in as part of the normal price of customization, save yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
