Antz_Marchin Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hey guys, just a quick question. I was in Calgary a couple weeks back and saw a Heritage Classic jersey that I had been looking for on sale at a shop there. I didn't buy it because the material felt considerably lighter and rougher than any of the authentics that I have. I was worried about it being a fake (as I have actually seen in some small independent shops but this is a reputable chain) and it made me think after that maybe that is what the 2.0s are like as I only have 1.0s and have never seen the new version. Is that the case? They do feel considerably cheaper than the 1.0s in hindsit which I was surprised by if indeed this is an authentic. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sale? what price is the sale price @ that place? I could always sell you a real 2.0 and you can compare for yourself with whatever you would like! Shameless. I know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3x Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The air knit material is going to feel rough to the touch when compared the plastic-like synthetic material used on the 1.0s and the back of the 2.0s. And youre spot on, it's going to be significantly lighter (a huge plus for on-ice). Unlike the synthetic-touch material, the air knit absorbs water better. This is also a plus because a lot water and sweat that accumulated on 1.0s would dribble off the jersey and into equipment, ie. gloves. This is what I've gathered. Others will correct me if I'm wrong. You're probably just used to that super synthetic feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're right on the money, I am used to that "shiny" synthetic feel which I like to wear (warmer in winter or at a game) but also as you said, really do soak up the water (I wear a 1.0 practice jersey to pickup and it can tend to accumulate moisture and get heavy). Ok, just wanted to ask...... I knew about the 2.0s but with the huge difference in feel it didn't even occur to me til I got back home. Thanks for the info guys.

OV#8 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Are the authentic using felt material for names and numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg39 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Are the authentic using felt material for names and numbers? The names and numbers should be done in felt, yes. The crest is felt too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Don't forget the EDGE plate though. It's all felt EXCEPT for the nameplate. It doesn't seem like an easy color to match up too either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't 100% sure if he could match the color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islesfan25 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 No they will do those jerseys. It is not cheap but worth it knowing it will be 100% correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainKing Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 If you can deal with an Air Knit plate Triple Threat sports can match the color perfectly. I'd much rather have the wrong plate material that's the right color than the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 EPS did mine, I love it. Double layer felt, edge nameplate. What more could you ask for?! Its actually one of my favorite jerseys to just wear around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyers845 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Who's really gonna notice if the plates not 100 percent right. I'd rather have the right color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I got mine done at the Fan Attic. They send it to the same customizer who did the Flames jerseys for that game. It looks absolutely perfect, and I think it is worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg39 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 http://www.flamesport.com/store/ Now that I saw that they have last year's game worns at relatively reasonable prices, I had to buy one. it. I was better off not knowing! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
