xcdude Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Aketon I have a question, those are from MeiGray right? I ask because Gilroy started playing last season which was 2009-10, and MeiGray lost the AHL after the 2008-09 season I thought. Is Steiner having a 2 for 1 sale?

akteon Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Aketon I have a question, those are from MeiGray right? I ask because Gilroy started playing last season which was 2009-10, and MeiGray lost the AHL after the 2008-09 season I thought. Is Steiner having a 2 for 1 sale? I got an e-mail from a Steiner sales rep about a 2-for-1 deal on anything on their site. However when I called them they told me that game-worn/used items are always excluded. I said that their e-mail didn't make that distinction - so they let me have them at the sale price. After I got off the phone with them I re-read the original e-mail, and sure thing down at the bottom it had an asterisk and said doesn't include game-worn/used items. I think they just wanted to move some of those Wolf Pack jerseys - I don't think I'd have gotten the same deal on Rangers gamers. I just lucked out I guess.

LesNordiques Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Haha, that's not how it works with jersey freaks. ya true I guess... lol My Nords Dale Hunter jersey is on it's way getting re-done.... Was my mistake... I gave them photo of his 1982 jersey and style number font, then I added a 87'Rendez-Vous patch on it. So technically it's got the wrong number "2" font, the 1987 "2" doesn't have the upward hook at end. But it's being corrected at no charge, Don at MLL is excellent when it comes to cutsomer service. And my #16 Goulet was done with 10" numbers on back and looked crappy on a size L jersey (was done at a local sports store here, their mistake and they fixed it no charge)... so ya, I guess add me to the list of jersey freaks now, LOL.

Made in Motown Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yeah, filled one of those out and was never contacted. I might try it again though. Let me know if you find one. I picked up a black edge 2.0 from meigray as well & want to do the same thing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Good choice on Mess too. Gretzky is so overplayed on those jerseys that everyone forgets anyone else played in the tournament! I have the exact same one actually. I have to get the nameplate fixed but when it is, it'll be the same. One thing I always wondered about those jerseys though is that the retail ones were ultrafil but the on-ice jerseys were air-knit. And then the CCM logo was black on the ice too instead of red. Not that it matters since they're so great looking but I've always found it strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 1991 Canada Cup Messier WOW! what a nice jersey! wanna trade/sell it? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow_hound Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 @ Brilliant My Messier is actually Air-Knit, not the Ultrafil, so it's just the same as the on ice version he wore with the red CCM blocks. I've seen some of the Ultrafil CCM's with the Black blocks and could never figure it out why they made them SO different from the Gamers...

Brilliant! Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Oh excellent! That makes it even better then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow_hound Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Yeah, I just checked out your collection. Is yours an Ultrafil ??? I noticed that it looks like it has the Smaller CCM tag which was added in the 95-96 season for some teams. Are my eyes fooling me? I never knew of CCM doing an authentic throwback of the Canada Cup jersey... but I don't think that tag existed in 1991... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 No, it definitely didn't. I was always under the impression that it was a commemorative re-issue or something like that. When I bought it, it had Gretzky with the C on it but I got rid of that a while ago. And actually I was wrong earlier. The on-ice ones had the red CCM logo. Mine has the black one.

Brilliant! Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 This showed up in the mail today: I already tried stripping it but to no avail. I guess I have to find a small NHL shield to sew on the hem. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcdude Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 So is that a retail authentic from the mid 80s? Or is the CCM embroidered? I can't really tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 The first half of 1989-90. For some reason, they arched the name though, which is incorrect. The Rangers used straight-line names that year for the last time. I tried getting the name off but it was sealed on pretty heavily and I was left with some nasty residue so I'll just leave it the way it is and add the shield on the hem to make it a 1990-91 jersey. That WAS his best year(goal-wise with 49) with the Rangers anyway so it all works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 My first game worn jersey! Also one of my favourite jerseys of all time. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtucker Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 it has the diaper bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guam64 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 The diaper bottom is only appropriate given the jersey color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainKing Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 A Gulls replica...I'm not 100% sure how I feel on this one, SP makes some really nice authentics..this is my first replica from them and the material is nice but thin, the lettering is sewed together in reverse kiss but then they heat pressed it onto the jersey. Just seems like if you go that far why not do the rest? It was cheap and will hold me over until I can find some Gull authentics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disengage Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Couldn't argue with the free one day customization on NHL.com and surprisingly, they used real sewn numbers and not the cheap one layer heat sealed plastic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 That's certainly a welcome surprise, huh? It's nice to hear that they've gotten SOMETHING right. How about the WC patch? Is it the nice embroidered one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyGagner Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 got this in the mail today, I believe from the same seller as Brilliant's Gartner. I didn't have any Messier in the collection until now, a Cosby's and a Size 54 I couldn't resist at the price. All it needs is the Cup patch.
