AngeloS76 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I like jerseys, jerseys have lettering, lettering has a design, the design is made unique by its font, the font says something about the team. The font says something about you and me. Let's post some fonts. This post was set off by a very unique lettering set for a certain Pennsylvania team. Something to do with chocolate...

brandon Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Haha funny enough, my favorite one comes from Chocolate town. This was actually my first authentic and it started my descent to the darkside. 4 layered numbers? You hardly ever see that anymore. It was the work of Cutting Edge.

Kaiser416 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thats amazing. 4 layers. Avs glacier twill with kiss-cut numbers, love the metallic silver layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Was there any doubt this would be my favorite font? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 In terms of favorites that would definitely be number 2 for me. Looks like we're suckers for John Gray's inventive and un-copyable designs. Jersey customizers everywhere weep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeloS76 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 All but the Bruins are originally from CE. Da-hell man. Bonus shirt from CE. UMass Amherst. Look like any team from Alberta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers845 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Over sized numbers are great. The flyers retro font had them. The devils use them too. I'm sure other teams do too just don't know off hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 My personal favorite font was used by the Hartford Wolf Pack from 2005-2008 and recently used by the Manchester Monarchs. I really like the serifs on the letters, especially the diagonal crossbar on the H and style of the E and other little details like that. The numbers are great too, they really look good when triple layered kiss cut. The same guy has done fonts for a number of minor league teams that are all fairly similar. Looking at the Steckel Hershey jersey above I wouldn't be surprised if maybe he did that one as well. (Schenn jersey is from Hollywood Cannon's collection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotiaCygnus Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sorry to be a boring fart, but I can't go past the good ol' plain block letters and full block numbers. Original is best in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcjari37 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Was there any doubt this would be my favorite font? The best and most inventive imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R123 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 This looks best in my eyes. But I also like all the fonts and jerseys used in that tournament... For example from akteon's collection: Very classy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepunisher767 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Although this is a personal name on the jersey... I always thought this number font was awesome. I miss the Vipers... =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chow_hound Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Not even joking on this one but aside from the jerseys themselves the Mistral font on the Wild Wing jersey was probably the most unique as each letter itself was not the same shape as the same letter somewhere else in the name as it depended entirely on where it was in relation to the arch. While this makes customizing correctly a complete pain in the Arse it also is another reason they probably nixed it as the poor guy who had to sew them for the team must have gone insane with the extreme angles and points. The burger king alt font also is pretty wicked and the north stars early bubble version font was cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooten Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Great topic! I love it when teams go a bit out of the norm. My main collecting focus is Columbus and I'm kind of tired of their nameplate and number font over the years. I do like their third jersey font, but they only use it for the numbers. The name font is the same as they've always used, which was kind of disappointing. I really like Boston College: And the nameplate font on Montreal: Also like the pre-slug Buffalo fonts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked the 80s Leafs blocky lettering, but the numbers (especially the 3s) are awesome! [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thk25 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I love the current Wild away font and numbers. As much as I like their current jerseys, the old green ones were slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Agree about the Wild. AHL-wise, Manitoba Moose and Bridgeport Sound Tigers (pre-Reebok with arch nameplate and glacier twill) fonts are my favorites No BST example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
