LAK74 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Looks like a bit more residue than you usually get with EPS jobs. That shouldn't be too hard to get out with Goof-Off Super Glue Remover, though. Did you ever try that stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I had similar residue with the jersey I just stripped. I used Goof-off and got 95% of it off. I then went straight acetone and whatever was left completely disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience its like middle of the road, not awful, but not great. You'd want to pick a number that you are mostly covering, or expect to put in a lot of work with the residue. Those jerseys were done back when Custom Crafted were still doing their jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 A trivial point perhaps, but many of them (in particular the Reebok ones), have the EPS letter font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The font used by CC and the one used by EPS on Devils jerseys are very similar. The only difference is that CC tends to be a sloppier stitch job such as crooked letters, nameplates, uneven cuts, uneven stitching, etc. Devils did switch over to EPS in 2005, so that makes sense as the Reebok ones were done by EPS.

LAK74 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 There are quite a few differences in the CC (post-retro) and EPS fonts that are easily discernible, which have nothing to do with the stitching. Since you have such a great Devils' GW collection, this should be easy for you to verify. Take a look at letters like G (completely different notch shapes), W (pointed vs. flat center tip), Y (top branches spread out at different angles), S (end tips of S longer on EPS version), N (vertical wedge cuts are much deeper on CC version), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 That is exactly what it is, a little worse than EPS . I have not use any solvents on my jerseys, I lack a place to work and I'm not comfortable working with chemicals in general. EPS $5-15 to clean residue, and they do a pretty good job. For that price, I am content to let them do it. I am going over number 22 with number 26 so I think it will work out just fine. Before anyone asks, I stripped 2's because they were done by another customizer, and could be slightly different shapes and material.

spudrock512 Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 All you need is some acetone and that will come right out - you won't even be able to tell where the number was. I am always surprised at how clean you can get a jersey to look with acetone and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally FINALLY removed the last two numbers on my project last night... the nightmare is over. In contrast I stripped one full jersey and the sleeve numbers from another in an hour. These were done by Custom Crafted and the stitching was looser than EPS, and the seam ripper was just gliding right on through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furiousd Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I was told by a Tampa gamer collector that they only had black letters the first season. Also, that one has the non glittery (for lack of a better word) crest. The only gamers I've seen like that are from 92-93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the sale was on all of the eliminated teams... Also looks like people jumped on these fairly quickly. All that's left is the Czech Republic jerseys... 50% off is a pretty great deal too.

Devilsguy Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I was at Meigray this past Thursday and they showed me the Lowell jerseys before they hit the website. Didn't get any of those as none stood out to me. They had about 100 of them and they are all 07-08 and later so either 1.0's or 2.0's. The ones in the clearance are no-names or ones that have pretty much no wear. The rest are in the Lowell Devils section of their website.

mfitz804 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Lowell crest was definitely badass...AHL ish without being too cartoony. I'd take a similarly styled third Jersey for the NHL club, please. Edited September 28, 2016 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Just sent Meigray an email on the condition of a few of the Lowell jerseys. If they are in good shape I'm going to grab a red and white 2.0. Lowell is the only gap in my AHL Devils collection at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
