mdwsta4 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 From seeing locker room shots and the 24/7 documentaries, players are regularly seen wearing the 'Team hockey' shirts with their numbers on them. While cotton versions of these shirts can be found anywhere, Reebok's speedwick shirts only appear to be worn by players. I recently picked up a Marian Hossa Stanley Cup Finals speedwik shirt that I think is pretty awesome. I've never seen these before. Where can they be found?! I wouldn't mind getting more players/sizes. The material is great to work out in. front rear sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Red Wings Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I think this is something they just started doing. I saw a bunch of these at Comerica Park for a bunch of the Red Wings and Maple Leafs players that were done up in the Winter Classic styles.

chow_hound Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Canucks do this too. They tag them with the same barcode as the gamers except they specify the player name and number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 They were speedwick shirts or cotton shirts? If they're starting to sell them at stadiums I'm going to have to have some people on the lookout back in Chicago!! I think this is something they just started doing. I saw a bunch of these at Comerica Park for a bunch of the Red Wings and Maple Leafs players that were done up in the Winter Classic styles. I'll have to check out the barcodes on this shirt. Canucks do this too. They tag them with the same barcode as the gamers except they specify the player name and number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYIJM29 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 It's all part of the Reebok Center Ice Collection. The speed wick/play dry stuff is available for retail purchase. Im almost positive it is the same stuff the players wear -- it is workout gear. Im wearing a an older 07-09 NYI speedwick shirt right now. They started to make player specific stuff for sale I think in 2012 of the popular players/teams for the SCF. I remember seeing Flyers, Blackhawks, and Bruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Columbus has blank speedwick, and had player-designated ones in 2011-12. Of course, it was mostly Rick Nash, so I'm sure that young children in Africa now have speedwick shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducks24 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm pretty sure from seeing these shirts worn up close that the players don't have their name and number on the back of the shirt. They only have their number on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
