JustAnothaVictim Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 It arrived a few days ago and forgot to post it. This one is a team issued mesh jersey, made in Berlin, Wisc. Unfortunately this jersey is too big for me and I´m looking for a size 54-R. This jersey is 58-Rhttp://sports.webshots.com/photo/2528254600054115799ovXTbJ Still looking for a trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 That King Vitamin jersey is slowly becoming one of the holy grails of hockey jersey collecting, at least around here. Maybe I'm just not quick enough but I don't get the 'King Vitamin' thing. Help? And no it's not a game-worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 When the jersey was released in the 90s, many compared the logo to that of the breakfast cereal character . The Quaker Oats cereal, King Vitamin (usually mis-spelled, King Vitaman), was big in the 70s and there were even animated commercials for it. They used some creepy dude on their cereal box for a while, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Oh boy, that was a little before my time. No wonder I'd never heard of him. I do see the resemblance though. I had always said that I'd never own a Rangers 3rd jersey UNLESS I could find a Starter one from the late 90's. Well, I found one: I'm thinking of putting Graves on the back to honor Adam scoring the series-clinching goal against the Devils in the 1997 Conference Semis. Ah, memories....

Brilliant! Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 It's the same one as in that shot with the S-star and the NHL logo. That Graves wrap-around was one of the best moments of my life. I was 16 and unfortunately was driving home with my folks from a Mothers Day at my aunts so I had to listen to it on the radio. When Graves scored, I almost jumped through the roof. That goal is right up there with Matteau for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Ahh now I got you. It's the one with 'Starter' underneath the S. It's accurate because you can see the 'Starter' at the bottom on Courtnall's jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a hard time finding mine for a Messier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Exactly. That picture is from 1997 and that was the only time the Rangers wore the dark 3rds with that particular Starter logo on the hem. Everything after that was just the S-star and then Pro Player in 1999-00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpc21 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 After being away for a week, I returned home to a four jerseys waiting for me. I recieved a Flyers Orange Alt (to add Coburn to in the future), Mighty Ducks 3rd, Dallas Stars 3rd (may become Morrow in the future, I have a Modano one so I'm debating that) and a Deadmarsh Avs Pro Player Replica (White). Well that and a new guitar. Not a bad way to return after being gone five days! One I get all my stuff moved in from school, I'll start the photo cataloguing process.

JustAnothaVictim Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 ...and a new guitar. Show us picture of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpc21 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 The guitar is a Fender Telecaster Knockoff, which you can see here....Left Handed Telecaster. The reason I picked this guitar up is for another (new) hobby of mine, which is paiting guitars. I've always been artistic and wanted to paint/design things, so I figured this is my shot. The front is a blown up look at the Seattle Seahawks logo. The back has the Space Needle and 5 of my favorite bands represented by logos who come from the area. (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Candlebox and Alice in Chains (the AIC will be replaced by their word mark). I was born in Seattle and live there 9 months out of the year now for school, so I figured it would be a cool project to start off with. Since mine is left handed, it will end up looking like the one on the bottom (hopefully!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Nice stars jersey. Any plans to get it lettered? Maybe. Right now it's in the pile of 'jerseys-I'd-like-to-customize-but-don't-know-with-who-yet' but I'd definitely like to. Zubov maybe? After all, he is my second favorite D-man ever. And it definitely will be a collectors' item...especially since it's not in production anymore. Also, it's just plain butt ugly. How did it ever make it off the drawing board? Seriously. It looks like a birth canal! Oh and that's a sweet Seahawks guitar. Do it, Jimi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpc21 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Do they still use that dazzle mesh on the sharks jerseys these days? I thought they had toned it down a bit, but again, I wasn't looking for the change, that picture just looks very shiney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
