TMLFAN Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've been looking through some pictures of the Edge socks and noticed that they appear to have the same material that the back of the jersey's are made of at the top of the sock. If anybody has a pair can they confirm this and if it is the same material is there enough of it to cut out for a nameplate? Let me know, Thanks.

Brilliant! Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Be careful. Are the socks made from the back material or the front and arms material? Because there is a difference. The back stuff isn't as thick as the front and is almost like a very tight micro-mesh. As far as I know, none of the teams use the front stuff for nameplates; only the back stuff.

I think the sock has both. The top of the sock looks to be the same micro-mesh material as the back but there isn't a lot of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guam64 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Even if it is, I doubt you would be able to get enough from a single solid sock for a usable nameplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 You might be able to get something out of it. Probably nothing longer than about 6 or 7 letters though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't be too bad I guess. Some of the names I'm using are in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guam64 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 That might work for a team that doesn't use huge letters. Like all the other crap they push out Reebok completely overdesigned the socks too. This auction shows about how much you can expect to get from it, which is not much. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-RBK-Pro-Stock-Edge-Hockey-Socks-NY-Islanders-XL-/300427817978?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f2e4b3fa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenanigans Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just compared my Canucks EDGE socks to the nameplates on both my Canucks gamers. Same material. I imagine you'd be able to get a one name plate per sock. Approximately 6-9 letters I think, depending on font too of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If possible, could you get a measuring tape and measure the length of the usable area? If I knew the length I could figure out how many letters I could fit on it.

The retail ones are much lighter weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenanigans Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Did a measurement for you, it's approximately 19 inches wide, by 8 inches tall. Not entirely rectangular as there is a rounded edge on two of the corners. Though that won't be a problem for getting one nameplate per sock. @irishlaxburger2: yeah they are team issued socks.

TMLFAN Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks for the measurement. 19 inches will fit about 9 letters for the Maple Leaf jerseys I have which is plenty. I stopped by the store today and had a look at the edge socks. The material at the top is the same as the material on the back of the jerseys BUT the socks that are sold in stores are made of the same back material as the premier jerseys and I guess the team socks are made of the same material as the authentic jerseys. I guess if I can find some team socks for cheap I will go that route because the retail socks won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 How about team issued practice jerseys? Do they have the same material on the back as on the back of the game jerseys? If so it would be worth it for me if I can pick one up for around $50 - $75 because I can save about $30 on customization if I do the nameplate myself and as it stands right now I need 4 white and 2 blue edge nameplates.
