Yeah, they still have all the “A” grade players jerseys being auctioned online, until Wednesday I think, then the rest of the scrubs were auctioned off in-arena during the game. I’m trying to get one from each set they wear this season, so far so good, just need to get the Skate and the Navy Orca later on.

Kingofkings Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Picked up the Kings camo jersey I couldn't find in the arena the night of the game from teamLA online and was pleasantly surprised when they shipped me a MIC version. Also paid 180.00 while the tag says 280.00 Edited December 10, 2019 by Kingofkings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to figure out whats what with that tagging? Is that consistent with the CCM jerseys from 96-97 season, because in 97-98 they went to Nike? I have never seen a Sharks CCM with that tagging, perhaps made at a later date by CCM and tagged with the late 90s style tagging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the Sharks with that tagging either, and obviously 96-97 is the latest this could have been produced. Maybe some retail jerseys were made before the Sharks made the switch. Least of my worries at that price though, and neck tagging isn't visible wen you wear it so I'm totally leaning towards Larionov. I think the jersey sat in someone's closet for 20+ years. It feels brand new. Edited December 10, 2019 by Van67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same thought occurred to me too, but I remember that the 1997 ASG game worn jerseys, which had to have been manufactured in 1996, had those tags also. So at least we know those tags existed at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larionov would be an awesome choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 My Desjardins jersey has that 4-tag neck tagging. But, it's a 1999-00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told the Oilers is incorrectly customized for it's era, not to mention it's a foul since Pat Hughes left the Oilers organization by the time it was worn too. Nonetheless, it's a real unique piece and a potential project for me down the road if I so choose. Saw that on kijiji as well but I was too slow.. $50 is an absolute steal! Please don't strip more than the namebar.. I was the one that let the seller know about the foul (if you heard it from her), it's a Nike namebar (consistent with Hughes era) on a somewhat rare CCM mesh (only a month or two of the 89-90 season) but Hughes didn't play in the CCM era, do you know who did? Again, please don't strip more than the HUGHES name, it's a valuable piece of Oilers memorabilia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the letters are not the correct Nike font, so it’s probably not an original nameplate anyway. So I guess I don’t see what it is you’re trying to preserve by not changing the numbers. Whether you put Messier, Kurri or Buchberger on it, it’s an “authentic replica,” not a GI/GW, so why not go with the player of choice, if the owner doesn’t want a Buchberger? If I had that jersey, I wouldn’t put him on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had that jersey, I wouldn’t put him on it. The namebar could even be a Sandow *shrug* all due respect to you, and everyone here, I'm more to the gameworn side of things, so my view is approaching the hockey history of the shirt.. Buchberger was a pretty good Oiler, the numbers look fine to me.. we get our opinions, similar to autographing a gameworn, some are against, some are for, and I just wanted to voice mine In the end, it's DithyK's shirt and he can do what he wants with it, and I'm cool with that.. I just wanted to say my piece peace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJM4 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I agree with what's being said, that at the end of the day it's Dithy's to do what he wants with it. I can tell you the number 1 is incorrect when comparing it to one I have been involved with. This one came from a member here, and since he wrote the Jersey Book I'm guessing it's accurate.

LAK74 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 That is the correct CCM font that should have been used. This pic shows what #16 should look like; actually it’s Buchberger’s actual mesh 89/90 gamer from the exact same time period. The holes and gaps in the 6 are off too, as well as the relative thicknesses of each twill layer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDithyK Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I really appreciate all the information and input guys. I understand the hesitation of not wanting to strip it, but if the customization is incorrect and the jersey was not used in a game or even issued in this state, I don't really value the "history" that's present in it. Personally, I'd be looking to make this a Kurri with as proper of on-ice specifications as I could get if I were to strip it. I feel like getting it done correctly to the era would do a rare jersey like this justice. Of course, that's just what I think. I've never really waded into vintage jerseys as they're definitely before my time haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say I'd be quite confident EPS would have the matching textured mesh you'd be looking for. They matched my 85 North Stars so there's a good chance they could do this one too. Here's the front with A. Good luck with the strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been here for years and it still amazes me how sharp some guys' eye for detail can be. It's part of the risk you take when you post your new finds.
