Nucks&Oil96 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey I need help with this jersey. I have an authentic Reebok Montreal Canadiens jersey but there's some weird things with it that I need some info about. The tag itself looks weird than the ones I usually see. The design is from the 1946 jerseys just without the laced collar. It's an authentic from Reebok yet its an old school design. The smaller inside tag thingy is CCM too. There's elbow stitching and the crest is zig zag stitching too so I know it's legit. Here's the link to the pics http://imgur.com/a/NndAd#0 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 The particular jersey you have is the 2006-07 version of the vintage throwback jerseys that the Canadiens used during the mid-2000's. There's nothing weird about the neck tag; it's simply the normal one used in Reebok retail authentic jerseys manufactured that year. It wasn't until the next season (2007-08) that Reebok introduced the Edge jersey with the black neck tags that you are probably more familar with. CCM and Reebok are owned by the same company, and since that particular Reebok jersey (not to mention the current Edge 2.0's as well) is made of CCM airknit material, it's common for Reebok jerseys to contain tags with "CCM" on them.

Nucks&Oil96 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 @thebiggoalie I just wanted to make sure what year and what kid of jersey it is. @LAK74 thank you very much. I did not know tht at all. Even looking online about this jersey I couldn't find any info about it. I was thinking of getting either Maurice Richard or Carey Price on the jersey and that was why I asked about the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) That is a really nice jersey. Of course you are free to put whomever you want on it, but if you follow authentic jersey etiquette, it's considered best to customize it for a player who actually played in that style/brand/model jersey, so both Richard and Price would be considered fouls. Players for that year include Koivu, Souray, Markov, Plekanec, Kovalev, etc. I don't have any idea how many games that jersey was used in that year, so one would want to do some research to make sure the jersey was actually worn by your player of choice.

In other news, had a meeting with a copyright lawyer this morning with the completed rough draft and it looks like *fingers crossed* all systems go...should know/confirm soon enough.

Nucks&Oil96 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'll actually put a Kouvi on the jersey. Even though my brother has a Koivu jersey I'll my own now. Thanks LAK74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLFAN Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Like everyone else, can't wait to get my hands on a copy Chris. Looks like a really fun read.Here's a little oddity I just discovered which can be useful to anyone trying to letter an early 90's sharks jersey. I thought a couple of the letters on the Wilkinson jersey I recently posted where incorrect but LAK74 pointed out that the font changed slightly from 91-92 to 92-93. Thanks to him for that.Here is the proof of that change.91-92 W & S92-93 W & S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 While we're on the topic of Sharks font variations, I may as well add that in 1996-97 (the last CCM year for the original design Sharks jerseys), the font changed again, and all the letters became noticeably thinner. 1996-97: This font continued until 1997-98, the only year that Nike made the original design shirts: The center point on the "W" went back up to the top!

slimcutta Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is why hanging out with you mugs is so great; love it when info like this is shared. I really want to have a sub-section dedicated to each team, separated year by year, that outlines all of these changes for quick/easy reference...though, I suppose that's what I'm doing with the book, lol. ...I may or may not have been drinking again.
