mharolde Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 For those looking for an alternative to RCS's $150 Edge sale, there is potential here at this store called HockeyTron. They have a bricks and mortar store in Orange County. The owners claim to be the original owners of HockeyGiant.com (aka HockeyAttire.com aka HockeyOverstock.com, homes of the 6100 clearance sale a couple years ago) and started this new store. It happens to be on the same road as HG, but about 15 miles away. They list Edge jerseys for $150, but it's the 2007-08 design lineup. I asked the contact Chris about newer jerseys. He said he only had what was listed there, but he could look into ordering anything I wanted. Maybe some other Edge buyers here can call or email these guys, or SoCal residents here can check out their store, get some more definite answers and report back. (Yes, they show the Premier stock photos. They also sell Premiers for $90, so I'm certain they know what the differences are.) Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the difference between the 2007-2008 edge jerseys and the current ones? Without traffic, I live about 45 minutes from there. I will try to stop by sometime next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-liars Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the difference between the 2007-2008 edge jerseys and the current ones? NHL Uniforms is your friend. 2007-08 is the first season of the Edge era. Teams had their designs adapted to the new cut, some had a brand new identity. No alternates.

CJ Matthews Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 For example, the Rangers jersey didn't have the red triangle with the NHL shield on it near the laces, which, aside from those pictures being premier jerseys, would make them inaccurate.

Yes they did - just check out the gamers on MeiGray. The Rangers home and away designs haven't changed at all since the switch to the Edge style. As for HockeyTron, I wondered why I was suddenly getting e-mails from them. Seems they stole HockeyGiant's customer list, which is rather lame.

Still, I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on this one myself...all's I'm concerned about is whether the 54 will be way too huge on me, as I usually go for a 52 in EDGE 1.0 (Curiously, the 2.0 size 54 is perfect).

Seems they stole HockeyGiant's customer list, which is rather lame. Matt and all...I believe the only change the Rangers have made in the Edge days, besides adding the alternates this season, was early in the Edge era. They decided to get rid of the "shaping" (higher hem on either side of the bottom of the jersey while being a bit longer on the front and the back) and switched back to the straight hem. The jerseys were still Edges of course, but they were the only team that decided to switch back to the bottom hem that was all one length. I liked that switch too. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Brilliant! Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 You are correct, sir. They altered that stupid hem even though the NHL threatened them with fines and the like for at least the first set. The 2.0's didn't have such a pronounced buttflap though obviously so once they transitioned to those, it wasn't necessary anymore. Other than though, no changes at all at MSG.

akteon Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 But that wasn't really a change to the design of the jersey, that was a team modification. They just hemmed the diaper tail. You can see it on the earlier blue gamers. It varied from player to player and jersey to jersey, the amount that was hemmed. As Mike said they were threatened with fines from the league for it. All of that aside, the original issue was if a retail Rangers Edge from 2007-08 was different from a retail Rangers Edge from 2010-11, and the answer is no, they are the same.

They had some really nice deals this week. 50% of Nike Bauer sticks (they actually had a sr. righty in the XXV, but I don't need any more sticks lol), a lot of Rbk skates on sale, etc. They are clearancing stuff out and it is nice to know they are legit!

Same page Matt and Mike. Right on. I remember seeing the straight hem a few seasons ago at Pepsi Center and got really curious as to how they were able to make that modification.

I've never dealt with craiglists before (the London one is shite) It's much like ebay where there will be authentics and fakes. I think the guy is legit tho cause he went into a bit more detail for certain jerseys for example "MINNESOTA WILD Home white, by pro player, size 56 (never worn in NHL)". You can probably ask him to take pictures of the jerseys your interested in and hope he does it and if not, don't risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggermatt15 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Steckel is worse than one of my most hated players Kyle Wellwood. Well since you're a Caps fan and your bias may come in to play, there's still no question that was a hit to the head AND a blind side hit. I HIGHLY DOUBT you would be happy if this happened to Ovie or Semin. You'd be "breaking hell" on this forum too, crying about how the league doesn't protect its star players. If Steckel really had any balls at all, he'd contact Crosby himself and NOT through Deryk Engelland to say he's "sorry". What a pu**y. Nice, i was able to grab a size 56 customized for 210..Cant wait for it to arrive. Thanks man. Let me know how you like yours when you get it. I know it wasn't exactly a "steal" or a great deal @ $175, but with free shipping and a blank I couldn't resist. Hell it sure beats paying $300 for a blank.
