They’ve never sold Adidas MIC’s to fans..... Although I did convince them to sell me the new Alternate Heritage and a new home jersey back before this season started. Again, as Van67 said, they charged me $500 CDN for them Edited December 30, 2019 by KB67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Thrill Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Actually I think the Canucks sold off their Chinese New Year warm up ones that were MIC. Again, could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, could be wrong. They just auctioned them off, like every other team does with their warm up jerseys, and then sold the ones that didn’t get won at auction, which was quite a few of them due to the ridiculous pricing they attached to them, and sold the leftover ones in the Team Store afterwards.

Phil the Thrill Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Not gonna lie, the fact that they do that for $500 is pretty awesome. I wish the Leafs did that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray it on the adhesive, and let it soak in and sit for how long? Then just scrub with a cloth or something? Yeah, pretty much. I put a folded up white towel on the inside of the jersey, spray, let sit for a minute or so and scrub with another white cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you go straight to the Graffiti remover, or start with the Acetone, then go to the Goof Off, then finally the Graffiti Remover?

Yeah, at first I though it was steep, and to me is just the cost of doing what i do, because I won’t buy the Indo’s. I personally don’t place any value in a jersey being game worn over just a Team Issued, and after seeing what the team is getting on auction for the Game Worn ones, I’m extremely happy to have the same jersey at a fraction of the cost.

Van67 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 If the team would sell me a MIC skate jersey, with the patch, for $500 blank, I would pull the trigger. I have a feeling my email address is blacklisted by now though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i got my home and the Heritage, the Skate was the first choice, but they told me they just couldn’t do it, because the schedule hadn’t been finalized as to how many they would need, which I think actually didn’t turn out to be just some büllshît excuse, because they did end up adding a game with the Skate jersey to the schedule after the original schedule had come out, so they then let me choose two to take, so I took the home and the Heritage.

I don't think that's BS either. I'm hoping that by the end of the season, they'll have some 58's available. It seems like most players wear 56. Too bad the Canucks don't put sizes on their game worn auctions. No idea who wears what if I was going to try for a game worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do sometimes put the sizes on the listing letters on VanBase, but off the top of my head, the only guys that wear a 58 are Myers, Edler, and Graovac.

On white ones, I’ve had some come back with traces. So, I got two replies from EPS this morning, one from Lynette saying they wouldn’t touch it, and the other from Josh saying they could get it clean, and it would be $25 to get it clean enough to put a two-digit number on it, or $45 if I needed it cleaned up well enough to put on just a single digit number. The other piece of info he gave me was that I could clean it myself and it should come clean if I used “Odourless Mineral Spirits” and scrubbed it with a white cotton cloth. I replied and asked if that was the same as using Acetone, and he replied with “he would never use Acetone, Acetone is way too harsh”. Does anyone have any experience with odourless mineral spirits over Acetone? I read up on it, and from what I gather, Odourless Mineral Spirits is oil based, while Acetone is water based, and that the mineral spirits may leave behind some staining, similar to how Goo Gone can leave behind a stain compared to Goof Off, which does not?

Brilliant! Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 We use mineral spirits in my profession as a stripper of adhesive and a cleaner as well. I've noticed that any time the spirits is used with a white rag, the rag turns yellow. Even before cleaning. I wouldn't use mineral spirits on any jersey other than a Flyers one.

jsh139 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I’ve used acetone with great results. Goof off almost always left a lot of ghosting around the adhesive while acetone usually doesn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working on two current ones right now, an MIC Military Jersey and an MIC Skate Jersey. Both of them have an obscene amount of adhesive/residue when I pulled off the numbers. I have tried some Acetone, and the adhesive didn’t budge, and then I tried Goof Off, with similar results. Anyone have any further tips for me, or should i cut my losses and just out back on the same number that i removes? These Canucks ones used to be so easy. It’s like they’ve changed the way they apply the numbers or at least started using numbers that have a ton more adhesive to them. I just decided to go for it, and tackled the Skate Jersey, and opted not to send it away to Mongo’s or EPS. I’m glad I decided to give it a try. It was a great learning experience, and I think it turned out pretty good. Here’s a few pictures: Edited January 1, 2020 by KB67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t able to get to an Acklands Grainger store to get the fight back, so I picked up the one from Home Depot call Krud Cutter Graffiti Remover. Was the fight back and aerosol or just a normal spray? This one is just a normal spray like the Goof Off. Have you ever tried this one? Did you experience any colour bleeding with the product? I only have a small amount of residue left I haven’t been able to get out, and don’t want to risk damaging the jersey over such a small amount of residue. Here is what I have remaining, do you think the graffiti remover would do the trick? Edited January 5, 2020 by KB67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Bob Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 If what you've been doing hasn't caused any bleeding I would continue that route until you are satisfied. Maybe it's just the pics but it looks like it is all about gone. Last step I would do is hit it with an iron with TONS of steam. I've had luck doing that, it seems to melt the rest into the fabric and you don't see it. (I haven't tried this method on Adidas black fabric so maybe best to keep at it as you've been doing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iron has a "cotton" setting on it I typically wet the fabric, get lots of steam going and run it over a few times.

Not sure if an oxi bath with help with that residue, but I guess it can’t hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
