00xtremeninja Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 So as mentioned yesterday in my spot removing thread, I recently won a Koho 3rd Thrasher's sweater (replica) and it has the year five patch on the shoulder as well as a patch on the hem saying "Limited Edition Year 5 3rd Jersey. 665 of 2004" Visually there is nothing different between this one and others I have seen, so was this a marketing ploy by the Thrash to sell third jerseys? Were they given away before others could get them? I have searched for info on this, but come up with only ebay auctions trying to use the Limited Edition stuff to try and make the sweater more appealing to a buyer. I had no clue any of this was on the jersey when I got it, so it was a surprise to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 It was a marketing gimmick to sell more thirds, like you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Its a nice jersey...especially since they no longer exist. Great pickup Edit: You gotta get a Dan Snyder patch for it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00xtremeninja Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 one of the older threads that came up when i was searching was a guy looking around for a Snyder and 5 year patch. I agree it is nice. I used to think "man those are awful" but I appreciated them more as time went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I really happened to like all (both ) of Atlanta's thirds. They are in the "so bad its good category". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnchristy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I recently went from 1 authentic and a practice worn to 2 practice worn and 3 gamers...no thirds though, would love the early one or even just an early dark, all mine are white except 1 blue home. I figure maybe in 10-15 years they will be crazy high like Whalers and Jets jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
