dsl135 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 A link to an auction or pictures of the jersey might be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoolwine86 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm in the process. I thought you could upload photos. My apologies. Will be up shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoolwine86 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just got this jersey today. After looking at the numbers on the jersey I can't decide if I want to send it back. The picture on the website shows the numbers on Malkin's actual jersey. However, on the jersey I received I think the gap in the 7 is too wide and that the left point should be closer to the long part of 7. The gap in the 7 on the sleeve also looks to short. Thought/opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks. http://imgur.com/a/eTnTl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHD28 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Not to mention the differences in the "A" with that window size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoolwine86 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Thanks. I had not noticed the A. The jersey will be going back and I will be looking for another place that does customizations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHD28 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Did you order that as a player (precustomized) jersey or did you buy a blank and have them customize it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoolwine86 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I bought it blank and had them customize it. I don't believe they had Malkin available in the size I wanted at the time. One would assume that regardless if it's a player available or bought blank and customized, that there would be no difference. I sent them an email. They have advised me to send it back to have changes made and assured me that they only use NHL team fonts. I previously l purchased a jersey from them in January and they forgot to put the A on the front so that one had to be sent back as well.

Well based on your two experiences, sounds not so good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersFan376 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Take it from me, you'd much prefer them forget to put the A on rather than put it on without you asking For whatever reason Bobcat chose to put a C on my rare Stamkos Bolts alternate that has the vector logo... I stripped it off and now there's just the slightest blemish on the front of my jersey that will irk me forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know how sending the jersey back works out for you. I recently got a Rangers Heritage jersey from them and the nameplate is way off. The numbers are probably not up to team specs but they look good enough to me. I was debating about getting in touch with Ice Jerseys about fixing the nameplate or just stripping it myself and having someone else put on a new, closer to correct one.

dsl135 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have always had great experiences when contacting IceJerseys regarding correcting a customization error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awoolwine86 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'll keep you posted. It might be awhile since it takes about a week to clear customs. I am going to instruct them if that is the only font that is used for that jersey to send it back blank. I have contacted Pro Knitwear in PIttsburgh who does the actual on ice jerseys for the Pens. I have not had a problem with customer service. I think they actually are top notch in that area They were more than willing to replace the 95 Penguins away jersey I ordered due to the lettering being off on the diagonal Pittsburgh. I believe that was manufacturing defect and IJ fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensFan77 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 You'll be happy with Pro Knitwear. They do excellent work with a real quick turnaround time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Been said million times already but if you want 100% accuracy you have to go to the team customizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Been said million times already but if you want 100% accuracy you have to go to the team customizer. ^ This. Unfortunately it seems that often the "official" NHL fonts that are distributed to customizers are slightly off. My understanding is that many times the team customizer makes their own little tweaks that don't get carried forward in the fonts from Stahls etc. or whoever distributes them out. They are usually pretty close, but as TMLFan said, you want 100% go to the source. Edited April 18, 2015 by akteon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
