akteon Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Grats man! Glad you snagged a grail. I gotta say it's a testament to how small the Nike Swift jerseys run that Zucc's is a size 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Well, don't forget: A Swift 58 equals a regular 44. So, it DOES make sense for the Hobbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus X-1 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Nice WC! I'm sorry but those are way nicer than the SS jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Matthews Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Nice jersey Matt. I wouldn't say it's nicer than the SS. They're two totally different concepts, one being a Winter Classic (throwback) game, and one being a Stadium Series (futuristic) game. Kinda like comparing apples and oranges. I have to say, I initially liked the WC, whereas I didn't like the SS at first. After getting one in my hands though, it's grown on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guam64 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 That Zuccarello is full of win, you can't beat getting a Nike Swift will actual wear. Even better that it didn't end up getting chopped up by a card company or in the hands of a Rags fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxbo1690 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Holy crap...WEAR on a Swift jersey?? I'm amazed! That is a real stunner. Very sharp indeed. Stacked numbers or kiss-cut? I have several swifts with great wear actually, especially from the first generation of swifts with the more rubbery material. They felt more like the new replicas that came out this year. I think the problem with Swift jerseys is not that they take wear badly but that they are used for short periods of time, like one WC. I have a Russia WC from 2012 that was worn in like 8 or 9 games when they won gold that has pretty decent wear. Here is one that is beat up nicely as well. Well, don't forget: A Swift 58 equals a regular 44. So, it DOES make sense for the Hobbit. And I think this year's sizing is even smaller than the last generation of swift jerseys. I have one game worn jersey that is size 64 from the first generation of swifts as well! I want to say that we are now probably on the third generation of swift jerseys since they came out in 2006ish. This one feels a little different than the others. It actually feels lighter than before and that there is almost like a little pocket of air in between the layers. That is why I think the wear on this Zuccarello is so great for one game as the jerseys might be constructed flimsier then predecessors or I just got lucky. The left sleeve isn't the only place where this is wear though so I think there may be something to it. I know nobody asked, but this jersey is different than other swift jerseys so I figured I'd point out some differences between the "generations". I think they follow something like this; 1st generation - 2006 to 2008 - rubbery, soft and stretchy with some minor changes year to year, not all that easy to find anymore. Found with a weird rubbery or mesh collar. Mesh underarms also have a layer of fabric between the mesh or almost no mesh at all (like the jersey above). Single colour font style for all jerseys and glued lettering on heat-pressed nameplate. 2nd generation - 2008 - 2013+ - more streamlined production, material is not as soft nor absorbent and certainly tougher than first generation. Collar is generally two colour polyester but also sometimes a v-neck or with laces on special occasions. Mesh underarms is more "airy" underneath. A little bit more flexibility on font styles as some one-off styles are used and multiple colours used instead of standard single-layer lettering for every jersey. 3rd generation - 2014 Olympics+? - More pop bottles! Stretchier than second generation and probably lesser quality as it feels like there is a layer of air in between the fabrics. The build quality seems softer and the Nike symbol is screen-printed instead of sewn as many first generation swift jerseys had screenprinting on them. The front logo is also heat pressed and not sewn down. It honestly feels a bit like a cross between generation one and generation two. It is also a bit more boxy in it's fitting. This is my first one from this style and it may not be used again after this Olympics or it might become the new standard. This one has kiss-cut numbers.
