mfitz804 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve thought of doing a Devils in the original blue, red and gold Colorado Rockies colors, maybe this is something that I should investigate while having literally nothing else to do.

Bad custom job too, but it cleaned up nicely, and restored very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a short period of time (1987-89) the Hawks crest became a flatter shape then in years past. They have been described as flat faced or Pinhead crests. Here is a good website that has some good info on Hawks jerseys: https://blackhawksjerseyhistory.weebly.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brew Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 kijiji find arrived Friday From the lockout shortened season, Big Ern only played the first two home games, and didn't play on the team's following 7 game road trip, but this was ready for him if he did. He was assigned to the Admirals nearly a month later, then traded to the Flames Fully customized with two fight straps (next post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That site is super helpful - Had no idea there was that much variation in the Blackhawks sweaters. Also can't believe I never came across that site before. Appreciate the info!

TheKevinShow Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 20 minutes ago, Brilliant! said: Not all. Maybe a little more than half. So is it possible to get a team-issued blank MLS jersey? Also, I've always wondered how they did the name/numbers on MLS jerseys. Are they stitched like all the other leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rhea Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'm going to guess it will be like every other football shirt and heat pressed on. They're not designed to be long lasting or durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 The difference between retail on-field and game-worn MLS jerseys is zero. I've held them side-by-side and tried to find a difference and I can't. Everything is the same. Tagging, crests, sponsors, lettering. Nothing is stitched; it's all either heat-pressed rubber (crests and MLS logos) or vinyl (lettering). The older versions like Nike did have different aspects that you couldn't find in stores but the Adidas stuff is really identical. I've always had a small fear in my stomach that all the "worn" jerseys I've ever bought are just retail stuff and that I got hosed big-time. In fact, here's a funny story. I brought my soccer stuff to the last MeiGray Expo and I didn't realize until someone commented on one of my Red Bulls ones that I'd brought my RETAIL version and not the actual worn one! The only difference was the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKevinShow Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I've never seen any advertising for buying game-worn MLS stuff. Is it just team-based or is there a MGG-like company that does it? I'd love to pick up a Fire gamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Line Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 It's a shame that Adidas and the NHL cant figure out a way to put out true authentics like they do for the MLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
