Salary caps staying flat, more ads, higher ticket/apparel/in-arena costs, weird deals with Hulu/ESPN+ to blackout local games. It’s a shame. Don't forget Fanatics are to make the jerseys from now on! I know the gamers will still be made in the same factory...... but a fanatic label on a game jersey? yikes. and what will it mean for retail jerseys? not that adidas is any good in that regard.

Far, far worse i beg to differ, you can record the games and watch them later, and skip the ad breaks. a car moving around the boards or even a huge puck, during actual gameplay, can not be removed! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Did a strip an re-customization of an issued jersey. Thrilled with this! Edited May 13, 2023 by Van67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Still wish they didn’t do the chest numbers regardless of the nod to their history, but aside from that, I loved this jersey design. Nice find and customization! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van67 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I wasn't sold on these jerseys when they first came out, but now that I have one, I'm on the wagon. These are incredible in-person! Team issued Aatu Räty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van67 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Thank you! The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is the TD patch. I'm not as offended by ad patches as most hockey fans seem to be, but I wish companies would be willing to have their colours changed to match uniforms. The TD patch on Vancouver's home and RR 2.0 jersey looks just fine, but it sticks out like a sore thumb on the black jersey. It is what it is though and doesn't diminish how awesome this jersey is.

jsh139 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 The ads wouldn’t get as much attention if they blended in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Agreed on both counts. Teams like Vegas and Toronto aren’t horrendous because they blend in. The Canucks and Habs are brutal. As a fan I ‘prefer’ the former. If I’m the advertiser, I would obviously prefer the latter. feels like NBA patches blend in more, but the MLB ads are the worst!

Van67 Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 I could be wrong, I don't pay a ton of attention to basketball, but I believe I read or heard that the NBA made a conscious effort to make sure their ad patches fit the jersey in regards to colour. I agree MLB is a bit out of control. It's one thing to have an ad look like a brick of coke (Atlanta), but there could be some size control. Some of them are massive to the point of being unprofessional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van67 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 I'm not offended by ad patches, but they gotta be moved for the SCF patch. While they're at it, change the SCF patch to something that actually indicates the team is playing in the Final. This patch looks like something the championship team should wear the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Agreed. Doesn’t even say “Stanley Cup Final”. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Vegas is not any better 😓 That also means it will be placed there even if there is no C or A....... i mean right next to and above the team crest, right? I don't think they will move it so it sits where the C and A is, i mean for players without, that will create inconstancy, but of course a better look........ what do you guys think?

mdwsta4 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Just as bad. I figured the non lettered players patch would be moved over a bit so there would be some inconsistency. Guess we’ll see tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Forgive my non-hockey vent, but to add to the ad patch shite, I got a nice shiny authentic Mariners City Connect jersey and just discovered that even with the Mariners NOT having an ad patch, which sleeve the PNW patch is on for game jerseys depends on which side of the plate they bat from... and from my observations, all pitchers have it on the right sleeve. The jerseys sold at retail all have the patch on the left sleeve. This also means that MLB Shop's authentic Julio Rodriguez CC jersey is not accurate. Whenever I decide on a player for this one (might be a while considering the M's s*** season so far) and/or the right materials become available to the good baseball customizers, the patch can be moved, but still.... Mother****ers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
