terance Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hey guys, I have a Team Russia 2006 Olympic jersey and I am having a lot of trouble tracking down the exact lettering that was used in the olympics. I mailed icejerseys about this topic and they said that the lettering would look great, which i have no doubts of, but I would really prefer to have the exact lettering that was used by Team Russia in the olympics. my only problem is finding it. If anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Terance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villavelocity Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 i am not certain what the Font name is called but IJ only uses team specific fonts for their jerseys. If you have the customization done by IJ they will ensure that the font is accurate. Villa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villavelocity Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 my top 10 Russian Jersey Picks: 20 Khabibulin or ( old school!) Tretiak 17 Kovalchuk 71 Malkin 8 Ovechkin 10 Bure ( not only old school but a tribute to the national team GM..sure h'd still be in the show if his knees werent shot) 91 Federov 27 Kovalev 61 Afingenov 79 Markov 30 Bryzgalov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Personally, for the Swift jersey I'd go with #8 Ovechkin or #71 Kovalchuk but you could make a case for Datsyuk or Nabokov depending on your NHL allegiances. If you want to be really obscure and different, Shushinsky was #33 I think and one of the better players in the world at the time not in the NHL.

KingTakeaway Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've been looking for a Pavel Datsyuk jersey like this for bout a year now, and have had the same trouble, no one can guarantee that the lettering will match exactly. Please post if you end up finding somewhere to do it, or if you order from IJ and they deliver what you're looking for. I'd love to find a place to get this jersey!!! Thanks in advance!

benpc21 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 What about contacting Nike directly? They made the jerseys, and since they are heat sealed they might have applied them, I don't know just a guess. The question I have is when you get one of these Swift Jerseys done, do you prefer to have the heat sealed numbers as was worn on the ice or sewn? I'm debating getting a swift and torn on this part, as I like the way the twill looks better but I have a thing for authenticity too.
