dsl135 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 1st off...nice jersey Patty! So I contacted the customer support fir the team store and this is what they said "Hello The player numbering will be a bit bigger than the retail version. The only way to have the exact sizing will be to purchase the game worn jerseys which will become available after the game which you can purchase on the ottawateamshop website. Cheers Chris " So I guess it cannot be helped? I'm going to still look into getting it re positioned but the size difference is unavoidable unfortunately. Is the team store where you had it done? Did they advertise that it would be authentic customization? That's a pretty unacceptable response to me if they did promise authentic customization. They're supposed to give you the exact fonts that they use for the players. Otherwise, in all honesty, they might as well have used a completely different font. It's either 100% correct or its wrong, there's no middle ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTheGreat Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 1st off...nice jersey Patty!

Cheers Chris " So I guess it cannot be helped? I'm going to still look into getting it re positioned but the size difference is unavoidable unfortunately. That's pretty lame. I'm not so sure the size being off by a fraction of an inch would bug me, but they could look at the positioning a little closer. Bottom line as I see it is you have two choices: 1) remove the numbers and re position them down a little so they look as close as possible to the gamer. 2) remove the numbers and have someone create new numbers accurate to exact gamer size and position them according to the pic. What I'd do: remove the numbers carefully and see if there's any evidence that would show up after they're moved down. If not, and there's no damage to the numbers themselves, move them down and be done & happy. If there's evidence on the jersey or the originals are damaged in any way, get the larger numbers made and they'll cover any evidence of the original small numbers. Depending on your level of comfortability, you may want to hire out someone for any/all of the strip process. Ed: Boy, looking back at yours and the official jersey it really looks like the numbers are just too high. Relative to the stripes, the numbers just look high and if they were moved down and centered on those stripes it would look like a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I like the way the 1992-93 road jerseys had the arm numbers touching the stripe...but ONLY for that year. Did they know something we didn't??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser416 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I don't know why or exactly when the numbers went down to the stripes. I've seen pics of both during 92-93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Cannon Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Didn't necessarily arrive today. Thanks to Stephen for this one. He got it signed before the game for me. Can't thank you enough. I'll have it hanging right next to the gamer and the stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyp6565 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 1990-1991 Chris Nilan Bruins home preseason jersey - numerous stick marks, multiple repairs incl. one with material backing, board burns and paint transfers, blood on the back near the nameplate, unrepaired holes & snags and good salting/rust of the fight strap snaps. This jersey was an 85-86 (has 85 07 born on date) recycled for Knuckles for the 1990 preseason and after a lot of research, this was confirmed by the original seller of this jersey into the hobby, who handled the consignment of multiple Bruins collections over the years.
