Ash Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I need to stop buying random jerseys, just because they look OK - and then something pops up that I convince myself I 'need'. Reebok wordmark patched over with CCM. GI rather than a gamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Good old eBay. $150 for a Trenton Titans 2005 Finals jersey. Not bad at all: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Walked through the ghost town that was apparently being passed off as the Albany Devils team shop tonight. They had like six hats, some children's jerseys, literally one T-shirt design and... A gamer in the corner? Couldn't really pass it up for $200.

Devilsguy Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Got this in late Friday: Traviz Zajac 2016-17 Retro Night game worn jersey. Travis wore this in both Retro Night games this year where he had 2 assists in the game on 3/16/17 against the Flyers and was the 3rd star of the game. Features the 100 year patch and I was able to photomatch it to the mark on the crest to a bunch of pictures I took during warmups right before the 3/16/17 game.

mfitz804 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 The jersey alone is badass enough, but then you also photo matched it, and you photo matched it to a picture you took yourself. F you Getty, we don't need no stinkin' high res photos, we got this covered!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F you Getty, we don't need no stinkin' high res photos, we got this covered!!! Thanks and I took about 25-ish photos of Zajac during warmups with that mark on the crest as it first appeared towards the end of the first retro night game in January against Washington. Out of those 25 got about 5-6 really good photos and this was one of the 2-3 best ones. Was praying that the mark would survive the washing after the game and it did (it also thankfully doesn't smell to high hell unlike the McMullen Night ones). I checked Getty and they have a really good one too admittedly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 1. Taking so many photos of a guy during warmups will do nothing to dispel your stalker reputation that you have from your "visits" to MeiGray's offices. 2. Getty may HAVE a nice one, but you don't NEED their photo match!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also need to find a Zajac signing soon to have him sign a printout of the photomatch. Problem is he is an exclusive to a company I really dislike so I might have to do a deal with the Devil to get it signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think I had my best and worst 'it arrived today' day today. First, the worst. There's a German-based eBay seller that has a lucky dip of sorts on jerseys - for 16 Euros, plus shipping, you get sent a jersey that's already packaged for sending - they don't even know what they're sending you... I thought, as a one-off, I'd give it a go. This turned up. I thought at first, due to the patch for a new sponsor on the front, it might be a gamer, but even my knowledge of German suggests it's a fan jersey. All that's awful about Euro hockey jerseys - light weight material, fuzzy sublimation, lot's of sponsors... At least it came with a nice big German league patch. And now the best, also making its way to me from Germany, courtesy of Pens4ever on here, is this Ultrafil Nordiques jersey. If there's a grail jersey for me, this is pretty much it - I've wanted one of these since the early 90s. Maybe in an ideal world, I wouldn't have chosen Tony Twist, but I can live with that. Now if I can just get hold of a Milwaukee Admirals jersey before the season's end, that'll be me done until the autumn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite agree, I was going to make some mention about the phrase being corny, but wasn't sure how acceptable (or not) it was on here. Whenever I think of the word 'grail', I just think about Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. And that was a rubbish film... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Got two in today. First up, Claude Giroux's 2017 Stadium Series practice-worn jersey. This thing stinks to high hell. They clearly didn't wash it. It's currently airing out in the spare bedroom. Next up is one that's changed hands a few times on here but has finally found its permanent home. 1985-86 Brad Marsh with "A" and Pelle Lindbergh "31" patches. Thanks to the Dude for this one!

TMLFAN Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 had this patch sitting in a box for a few years so I finally got around to doing something with it. The lineup for the game was as you'd expect from the Leafs of a few years ago, an absolute tire fire. That and getting destroyed 5-0 at home to Montreal was probably why it sit in the box for as long as it did. Anyways, this dude just played his 500th game for the Leafs which is kinda amazing considering me and everybody else was praying he'd be traded three years ago.

spudrock512 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I got a few customized that I'm updating: 1) 1995-96 Mighty Ducks or Anaheim Teemu Selanne Wild Wing jersey: 2) 1993-94 New York Rangers Steve Larmer Stanley Cup Jersey. I wish the older style kits could still be made, but I guess Cosby doesn't even have them anymore. Still looks good with a current style kit. The Stanley Cup patch is a really nice reproduction (sorry the picture didn't come out very good, so I deleted it). 3) 2001-2002 Detroit Red Wings Niklas Lidstrom Stanley Cup Conn Smythe Winning Jersey. Great Stanley Cup Patch from The Dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with Bozie, he may fluff the odd open net, but he is dependable and cap friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Bought this as it's my son's favorite team and I 'only' had an Indo Edge Canucks jersey (nothing wrong with it, but it was always a placeholder until something better came along). Took ages to turn up, to the point where I'd kind of forgotten about it. Shows quite a lot of wear, which is not that surprising given that it's an Edge 1.0 and that Bernier plays with something of a 'direct' style. Somewhat oddly, the 8 on the back, but only the 8, has gone all puffy like the numbers on fake jerseys... I thought I'd be able to photo match this easily, from various repairs to the right arm, but guess I'll have to keep looking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
