I think back in the day, players were less concerned about stuff like that. I can’t imagine guys like Scott Stevens or Bob Probert crying because their jersey was too heavy. maybe they were doing it after the game, when everyone else had left.

Are they even washed in this day and age, before people can buy them? Jerseys are typically washed (and probably heat-dried, as well) after every game. The only unwashed GW jerseys I've received have been from one-off specialty games. And they STUNK. So I just washed them like I would do any other authentic.

I've said it before, while many of you would think winning a "jersey off their back" was like winning the lottery, to me it would be my worst nightmare come to life. GROSS.

GROSS. I left one 'off their back jersey' in the trunk of my poor Nissan Versa over night and my car was never the same. Now when I show up for end-of-game auctions on those jerseys, I show up wearing a full chemical suit and respirator. Also leave the windows open on the way home.

I would have been desperately searching the arena for a spare shopping bag. Even better, bring an oversize ziplock like a lot of us use for shipping jerseys. Seal it up and keep the funk inside until you can get it home. I would throw it straight in the wash, but I know a lot of you game worn guys won't do that.

If one were to look through my jersey collection at present, I believe there's a grand total of one guy who is still playing (Taylor Hall), although I have 2 more at EPS getting Hall'ed at the moment. EDIT: Forgot my MIC Adidas Hischier also. Vintage is better. The older I get, the more I tell myself that lol. I was thinking about this and it's the same for me, only a handful of my jerseys are of players that are still playing. I agree vintage is better. I think it's because I've had time for it to sink in how great some retired players actually were. For instance, I did not like Lidstrom, Sakic or Niedermayer, but I am very happy to now own one of each of there jerseys. It might help that the jerseys are ultrafil, but I also am now a bigger fan of them looking back at all their accomplishments than I was when they were picking apart my favorite team. I'll probably end up wanting more edge jerseys 10-15 years from now when todays greats have their place in history.

Lidstrom I was more neutral on, Sakic I've had to come a long way to be a fan of his these days, but I'm there. I just want this Heiskanen kid in Dallas to follow in Niklas' footsteps.

bluejacket Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'm extremely excited to add this jersey to my collection. Kevin Dineen was one of my favorite original Jackets along with Sanderson, Vyborny and Knutsen. Inaugural Season Set 1 game worn Kevin Dineen Jersey. This jersey was worn in the first every Blue Jackets game and features good over all wear, hemmed cuffs and modified fight strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I love the altered fight strap. How does it work now? I can't seem to figure out what they did to make it better for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Looks like they added an extra snap and maybe stitched more Velcro to the other side so you could tie the jersey down closer to the player’s body. Would be harder to pull the jersey over the player’s head in a fight, or at least that’s what I would think was the purpose of all this.

Prowl Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 So I've been out of the jersey game for a while. The MIC's are pretty much only available if you get the game worn jerseys now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customization by Pacific Coast Cresting, otherwise known as Hockey Authentic on eBay. He’s local to me, so I take most of my jerseys to him for customization.
