mdwsta4 Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Not a jersey, but an actual sweater. The Blackhawks launched the Archive Collection back in 2020 pre-covid which showcased older sweaters from 1929, 1935, and 1947. I was primarily seeking the 1947 sweater since I like barber poles, but got the 1929 in the deal. I've had this Ebbets Flannel sweater for a few years which is my go-to pond hockey layer. It's much heavier and more substantial than the Hill Flint versions the Blackhawks sold. Also made from wool where the HF are made of cotton. Either way, cool to have both especially given the difference in crest design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) 2008-09 GW Simon Gagne, third set 3/PO. Worn in 3 reg and 3 playoff games where gags scored 3 goals and an assist. Light wear with just a few marks. Photomatched to a loose thread on the “A”. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxgt8GKANz6/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Edited September 24, 2023 by jsh139 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 A nice pickup for my IIHF side of the collection. It's a bloody tent, but it looks great! The polar bear stands out more on the white than the red in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Really like so many of the IIHF designs, except the US and Canada. Great pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Thanks! I agree... Canada has the single worst jersey design for national teams these days. Even their last Olympic jerseys were pretty bad. I remember watching them wearing the red jersey with black numbers that were basically invisible on tv.

Van67 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Re-customized issued jersey. These ones have grown on me a lot since they were released! Edited December 8, 2023 by Van67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Still prefer the added contrast the white adds, but I do like what they’ve done with the sleeve stripes. Regardless, great add to the collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 1996-98 GW Chris Therien, home set unknown. Bundy wore this jersey sometime in the 1996-97 or 1997-98 seasons. Has some nice wear with lots of stick marks, a couple slashes, holes, board burns, a few small repairs, popped stitching, and inner pilling. A really nice example from early on in Chris's career. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1w14VNrZEp/?img_index=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) 2004 Authentic Jimmy Rollins road jersey with Pope/Tug patch. Customized by Mongo's. Edited January 9 by jsh139 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Love those old double knits. I don't dislike the cool base and flex base that followed, but nothing compares to them. A couple relatively recent baseball pickups of mine... ASG Kirby. In case anyone wonders, no, I was not able to find correct customization from anyone. I found the jersey on eBay and won the auction at a f***ing steal. (If anyone is interested in the blank one I have with the M's patch, you know the drill!) Mariners City Connect JRod. I managed to find the Roberto Clemente patch and moved the PNW to the proper sleeve, because of those sto0pid rules they have now. Just need to get the patches sewn down, but for pics, the jersey is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Material aside, which I think for the flex base sucks, the fit of the newer jerseys just doesn’t feel right. I love these old Majestics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongoose Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) nice mariners ......... that new Nike template F****** sucks, the batterman logo on the back is now placed under that top sewn line ( i do not know what it's actually called, perhaps someone can tell me) so now that MLB logo is way too close to the player name! just looks so stupid and crowded 🤢 Edited January 11 by Mongoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I don't disagree with that point. I also don't like how they're making all teams use the same size letters for the names, perforated numbers for everyone and they're f***ing with other traditional things like the Dodgers big red front numbers. They're not big anymore. The one thing I do like about the new Nike template is the jersey itself. It is very comfortable to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van67 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Nice pickup! Got a box in the mail myself today... Always liked this green Comets jersey. Just can't have a blank one sitting on the rack. Brisebois has done nothing but work his arse off in the AHL. Managed to strip this one relatively well for sublimated air knit and had an old Cutting Edge kit for it, so it still resembles the old inconsistent chop jobs the game jerseys were! A cheap FB Marketplace find. Had to strip a totally unprofessional kit and clean the ensuing mess, but this makes it well worth it in the end.

mdwsta4 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Not a Flyers fan, but I really like what they did to their jerseys for this season (minus the sponsor patch obviously). Always a sucker for the green Comets jerseys as well as the Fisherman Found another small block pinhead, still in a 'too small to wear' size 44, but it was NWT and the crest is in much better shape than my other one. I plan on making another reverse tomahawk Savard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own with wearing or not. Whenever I crawl out of my hole in Northern BC and make it to a pro game of some kind, I like to wear a jersey... and I live next to a pub where it's still socially acceptable haha. As for MLB numbers, tinkering is an understatement. I wouldn't be surprised if Nike also uses their "power twill" material the 2023 ASG jersey and some City Connect jerseys have, which only Nike has and is holding hostage for themselves. If anyone wants a jersey done to exact on-field specs, they will have to buy one at a team store or on MLB Shop (aka f***ing Fanatics). It's going to hit independent customizers too. Company who does the Mariners jerseys flat-out told me they were not allowed to customize their City Connect jerseys with the authentic material because it was for game jerseys only. It's disheartening too because, as you say, prices are only going up. I like the ASG and City Connect jerseys I have now, but I'm not sure I'll be buying any of the new Nike jerseys. It'll either have to be a sale that probably won't happen or something really blows my mind visually, which doesn't seem likely either.
