BanthaBeard Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Morning chaps! I've just picked up a blank blue Reebok 6100 that would make a great Callahan rookie jersey, however I've seen very brief mentions that some of the Rangers jerseys between 2005-2007 had nameplates, including possibly Cally. Thus far all of my Rangers 6100s have been done without nameplates, on the understanding that they only started using them when the Edges came into use. I know that I saw this mentioned a while back but can't for the life of me find the post that explains it now. Can anyone explain it?

akteon Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Prior to the Reebok Edge, the Rangers did not routinely use nameplates aside from pre-season / training camp jerseys. There are plenty of examples out there of Rangers game worn jerseys from the 2006-07 season without nameplates: Nylander Shannahan Prucha Lundqvist Weekes There are also examples of Rangers pre-season game worn jerseys from 2006-07 that have nameplates, however in these cases the name was normally screened on the nameplate: Girardi Richter Another time a team like the Rangers who routinely didn't use nameplates might need to would be in the case of call-ups. Here's photo proof of Dan Girardi with a nameplate in 2006-07 wearing #46 (he wore #50 in the pre-season as shown in the link just above). So it stands to reason other call-ups from that season would probably also have had nameplates (like Callahan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 The Rangers didn't start using plates until the EDGE years BUT all three of Callahan's rookie jerseys from 2006-07 had nameplates on them. I know because my friend owns two of them and I know the guy who owns the third. Girardi and Dubinsky also used them during their regular season call-ups and possibly into the playoffs as well.

CJ Matthews Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Have you seen the Girardi regular season gamers? I wanna customize one and wanna be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Girardi's navy alternate and home blue jerseys both had nameplates. I would bet money that the white one did as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Matthews Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Alright, I'll make a blue one. Did you see the Moore gamer I posted had no nameplate on the Liberty? What would you say that I should do if I were to do a Lundqvist? No plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well Lundqvist's blue 6100 gamer from 2006-07 I linked above didn't have a nameplate. Considering he never played in the minors and played in 53 games in his rookie season of 2005-06, I'd assume he never had a nameplate prior to the Edge since he was never a call-up.

Brilliant! Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 The nameplates were only on the ROOKIE jerseys. Those higher-numbers unis stemmed from leftover pre-season and/or training camp jerseys that were just hanging around at the time of the call-ups so they slapped a plate on it for a simple re-use if necessary after the year. As it turned out, Callahan, Girardi AND Dubinsky all stuck around so they just kept wearing the jerseys for the remainder of the season and then into the playoffs.

Yes... This is true... They were all rookies and wore odd rookie numbers that had nameplates.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanthaBeard Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Great, cheers guys. I'll see about getting the Cally done up with a nameplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Great, cheers guys. I'll see about getting the Cally done up with a nameplate. Not gonna lie...I am in love with my Cally liberty rookie I just got back from EPS a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanthaBeard Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've actually got a blank Liberty as well and it was a real toss up between that and the blue as to which to do up as Cally's rookie. The Liberty will either be a rookie Hank, or an Ortmeyer to go with my game worm Wolf Pack jersey of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just saw in your collection you've got that Betts white 6100 - I eyed that thing forever on MeiGray after I found a photomatch for it, but when I had the funds to buy it was gone. At least it went to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanthaBeard Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Cheers buddy. I did exactly the same, watched it for ever until finally taking the plunge. I've got to stop buying jerseys for a while though and start getting the ones I have customized. Almost all of my jerseys are blank at the moment!
