NYIJM29 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hmm..hopefully someone on here has a thrashers edge and can provide some insight..i found a couple images that didnt show nameplates so i dont know. River City's customization job is sick though, they did awesome. If only there was a site with pictures of Thrashers gamers... Meigray thrashers You can clearly see on the back picture there is a nameplate You guys are so nice...I would have done this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=atlanta+thrashers+jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cupcake jesus Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just got this one in from eBay earlier in the week. There are a few small stains on it that I can take care of pretty easily, but it looks like the seller put it through the dryer a few times. I think it must have been purchased pre-customized, because the material used for the letters and numbers is similar to the material used for the old Starter pre-custom jobs, and it has an 'NHL Players' tag in the inside neck. The flag and team shoulder patches are also heat pressed, which leads me to believe that it is a factory custom job. This one came back from House O'Hockey two weekends ago. Wish I had it in time for the game, but good work takes time, I suppose. Impeccable work as always from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cupcake jesus Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yeah, the color used on the game jerseys was slightly off-white to give them an aged look. Thanks for the compliment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Alright, here's what I pulled in from eBay in the last week. Let's start with the one I have questions about: I'd like to put the '94 SCF patch on this (Richter or Leetch), but I'm not sure if it's from 87-90 or 90-96: Were all of these CCM replicas tagged with the colored-in CCM regardless of what years they were made? Can I slap the '94 finals patch on this? Koho Liberty - It'll be a Messier with the 9/11 ribbon This one is my favorite - Pro Player Liberty. Gonna make this a Graves with a "C" and 2000 patch Thing weighs a TON, and yet it's unbelievably comfortable. I wish Pro Player was used longer so I could grab a few more to use for more recent players. Also, in b4 "they're just replicas" OH, I meant to add a picture of the inside of the Pro Player: Anyone ever seen a crest sewn like this? It doesn't bother me, I like that it can't come off. Just thought it was odd to see a crest sewn down this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formyhunny Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Is that for the Pro player? I think my Yzerman replica is sewn that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Is that for the Pro player? I think my Yzerman replica is sewn that way too. Yeah, that's the Pro Player. I find it interesting that Pro Player would stitch crests like that rather than embroider them to the jersey like Starter, or like the authentics. Now I'm curious to see a Pro Player authentic to see how the Liberty crest was put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 No pro jersey has ever had anything embroidered on. That's strictly a replica trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 No pro jersey has ever had anything embroidered on. That's strictly a replica trait. Errr not embroidered. The Starter replicas have the crest and shoulder patches sewn down with that thick blue thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFan719 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 very excited about this one, pretty much been #1 on my want list since I got into jerseys. thanks to Carl for the hookup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes saying that you will never see an authentic jersey with embroidered crest or shoulder patches, only replicas do. Some do, others dont like that Proplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabinsurance Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Here is an example of a Stars ProPlayer made in Canada (crest on a plate stitched to the jersey) Here is the same jersey, ProPlayer, made in Korea (crest directly embroidered to the jersey) Inside out view of Korean-made Stars ProPlayer did make replica jerseys in Canada and Korea, often with different results.

Interesting. My is definitely not embroidered, it's sewn the same way you'd expect to see lettering sewn. That's why I find it interesting. Either way, I like it and I love the jersey.

OR68 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Older starter and pro player replicas had stitched crests on replicas. When CCM became the primary company to make replicas after the millenium they started the heat pressed crests on replicas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabinsurance Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Older starter and pro player replicas had stitched crests on replicas. When CCM became the primary company to make replicas after the millenium they started the heat pressed crests on replicas. CCM almost always used glued on crests. I do have a Kings jersey from 1988-89 which does have the crest stitched on, diagonally, not zig-zagged. And an older Flyers mesh replica from that era, too. But from 1991 (or so) on, and during the times they competed with Starter/Nike/Bauer/ProPlayer, CCM always sold glued-crest replicas. Only after they began to send some of the production overseas to Korea and Indonesia in the 2000's did CCM sell some replicas with stitched crests. Starter (1995-99) and ProPlayer (1999-00) always sold stitched jerseys made (mostly) overseas, and Nike/Bauer (1997-99) sold glued crest jerseys made in Canada.

akteon Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nice pick ups. One question. Did University of Kentucky not have names on their blues? They've never had names on their road jerseys. It's fairly common at that level (ACHA club hockey) for teams to do this. Jerseys get reused for multiple seasons, so no names on road jerseys makes it easier. I know many teams where players will have a different road number then they do at home. Traditionally it was also done to keep opposing fans being able to heckle players on the road (at least using their names that is) but with everything being online now, that's not really an issue. I've always enjoyed some of the creative taunts leveled at players just using their number alone. Most of which I cannot repeat here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
