mharolde Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 In customizing a jersey why are nameplates used? Is it bad to have the name stitched directly to the jersey? Maybe someone can clear up the nameplate issue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mharolde Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Based on the replies you customize your jersey to match the on ice version. If they have a nameplate, you use one. But why are they there in the first place, guess that is a better way to phrase my question. What is the purpose of the nameplate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why are they there in the first place, guess that is a better way to phrase my question. What is the purpose of the nameplate? Traditionally names were sewn onto a nameplate so that the jersey could be re-used in the case of a player being traded, called up, etc. Just remove the nameplate and put a new one on. It was also historically easier when doing the stitching of the letters for the customizer to only be working with the nameplate instead of the whole jersey. However, both of these reasons aren't as big of a deal with modern pro jerseys. Most pro teams don't re-use jerseys (outside of practice or training camp) so the use of nameplates seems to be more of a tradition at the pro level.

xcdude Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Didn't the Kings not use nameplates in the late 80s early 90s though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 They stopped in 1991-92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Piglet Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Regarding nameplates, I just bought the current Edge Tampa Bay Lightning jersey. The area where the name plate goes looks like ultrafil. Which material do they use for name plates? Thanks!
