chow_hound Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It's interesting since we don't have all the details yet. In watching the Sens and Jets game right now, the Jets jerseys don't have the stitching indicating double elbows. The game unfortunately is not HD quality as it's part of Kraft Hockeyville so the quality looks poor. Anyways, I was thinking about this more and more and thought of a possibility. When RBK took over the Contracts of Koho/CCM they simply used old stock and rebranded it by adding the Vector. What are the chances that RBK is currently using up all of it's old stock 2.0's with the double elbows and airknit material and adding the wordmark and sending these out to teams. That would explain why Winnipeg would be without the double elbows as they wouldn't have any old stock being a 1st year. Just trying to make some sense of why the hell RBK wouldn't just simplify the whole process and have the retail and game worn be the same. OR maybe like teams had the option of 1.0/2.0, maybe teams have been offered 2.0/Indo Edge and some teams are sticking with 2.0 as the new Indo Edge seems flimsy???

CJ Matthews Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 What would be the selling point to teams to even TRY the "indo-edge" jerseys? I can't think of a single thing a marketing person could say to a team to make them sound more attractive. BTW, I checked in at the NHL Store again today and they still haven't gotten the new ones in, but when they do I'll let you all know as I'll be bringing something in to trade for a Rangers jersey.

orangeblitz47 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 With all this talk of Indo Edge and 2.0s I am sure glad I got my 1.0s that I am very happy with. Its sad that reebok would confuse hockey jersey collecting for all of us. I am sure glad reebok won't be making NFL jerseys next year with the way they mismanage providing and making jerseys. I too will boycott buying new reebok jerseys. I will also boycott because I will complete my hockey collection once I customize the 3 Ducks jerseys I have left to customize.

NYIJM29 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 It gets weirder! Check out the Baby Pens' auctions http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pittsburgh-Black-and-Gold-Game-Jersey-12-Richard-Park-/200655903800?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item2eb8061c38 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pittsburgh-Black-and-Gold-Game-Jersey-87-Sidney-Crosby-/200655896496?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item2eb805ffb0 It looks like the Baby Pens have a double-elbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncthorn Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I posted a lengthy complaint on the Reebok Hockey Facebook page. I figured if we complain using a medium that will make them look bad, they may at least listen to some degree. I am going to send an email inquiring about this grabage later. I have been waiting to get some Blues 2.0s and this really irritates me. Its not like I can buy CCM authentics either as the design is different. I like my Perron 1.0 but get tired of babying it. My Ian Cole Peoria gamer 2.0 is 1000 times more durable and I want to buy the same thing in stores. I figure that anyone on here that can should complain until they get tired of hearing about it.

Brilliant! Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 As requested, here are some points of interest on the 2011 All-Star jerseys. First, the NHL sheild on the collar is not an embroidered patch sewn on but rather a heat-pressed logo: Then, the crest is fully embroidered but, AGAIN, only heat-pressed and not stitched on: Finally, the stars on the sleeves and along the hem are also just heat-pressed. The only items sewn onto the jersey are the shoulder patches, the nameplate, sublimated numbers and the NHLPA logo on the butt. Very lame indeed.

ncthorn Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks for adding to my post Eric. As a firearms enthusiast, I have gotten pretty good at complaining to those in positions of authority haha. I think the key to posting on the Facebook wall is that Reebok doesn't want people tto know that the quality of the retail sweaters is different than that of the on ice versions. I am disgusted by the ironed on crests and patches. It is beyond annoying to have a stiff crest that feels like you are wearing a level III armor plate on the front of the jersey.

TheMoxieMan Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 not to mention durability... I think of my Avs proplayer replica I wore probably once a week all through high school and washed numerous times, still looks great. I doubt these new "authentics" would stand up to half that abuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabinsurance Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 The glory days of the NHL jerseys have passed us by. Certainly since 2007, but probably since Fruit Of The Loom pulled the plug on Pro Player in 2000. That left CCM as the sole survivor, then when Reebok swept in to buy them, the game was over.

mikey3319 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I just picked these up today at my minor league pro shop!!!! Apparently they had these laying around in the trainers room,, they had a bunch of extra LEFT OVER jerseys from last year that they cant use because of the new REEBOK word mark,, the pro shop is filled with edge crappy replicas,, and I asked if they had any pros and the rest is history guys!!! I cant believe I own these, I am probably the only person in my city who owns the authentic 2.0s since they cant sell these to the public,, at least not where I live,, The guy who sold it to me was the team store owner,, and he did it under the table lol.. He knew how bad i wanted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
