LAK74 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Yes. Actually all the way back from 1988 to 1996. Edited July 28, 2019 by LAK74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Airknit jerseys tend to tear more easily than ultrafil and need more repairs, although they have the advantage of better ventilation and therefore they are “cooler” to play in. The regular season sets generally needed to last half a season, so the team went with ultrafil for more durability. Unless the team went really deep in the playoffs, a playoff set wouldn’t usually be used for more than 3 to 7 games, so the team switched to airknit for better player comfort, without having to worry about the need for excessive repairs or multiple jerseys for each player. I got this info from the Kings’ equipment manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just part of the reason I’ve never had a Kings ‘93 Finals jersey made up. Airknit Chevys were team-issued only, and extremely hard to find. (The only one I have is a playoff gamer.) Also, an authentic Finals patch is super rare. Add to that, having to cut a weirdly-shaped ultrafil swatch to stitch the patch to before stitching the whole assembly over an already-existing SC100 patch, is too much trouble and expense to go to, just to make a jersey they lost in. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course when your team hasn’t won a cup since before the original Woodstock, I understand why you might complain about borderline penalties in the playoffs in the early 90s. It wasn't a borderline penalty. The blood was on Gilmour's chin to prove it. Kerry Fraser is a lying sack of s*** piece of garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRFanDB Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) For Blue Jackets home jersey Edge 2.0 wordmark (2011-17), narrowed it down to these: 17 Dubinsky (A), 13 Atkinson, 71 Foligno (C), 61 Nash (C), or 72 Bobrovsky?

Note that the shoulder patches changed for the 2015-16 season. If you have the cannon shoulder patches it's 2015-17. For the hat shoulder patches it would be 2011-15.

JJM4 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 The beauty of this form on display... more eyes and minds on your project the better and we all learn something from it. I'd have never thought or known about the differing shoulder patches in this instance but now I've learned something about Blue Jackets jerseys. My vote would go for Foligno or Atkinson.

StayFrosty Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 I'm thinking about Pisani on this 2.0? But did he ever wear that as a 2.0? Was originally thinking about Gagner, but who knows how long he'll be around for.... and he hasn't done much for the Oilers. Thanks! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Those jerseys should not even exist as 2.0’s. No Oiler player ever wore a 2.0 until after that style was retired. So if that jersey is really team-issued (and I have no reason to doubt that it is), the team simply never used them in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s true, then I would say anyone who wore that style as a 1.0 is fair game. There’s no way to customize it “correctly”, so any player who wore that style as a 1.0 would be the most accurate you could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2.0 Roloson gamer in that exact same style. Edit: it’s also from the 2007/08 season.
