lafountain Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Just out of curiosity I was wondering if you guys had information on which teams and players were the top 10 in sales to this point of the season? I am guessing you don't have the information NHL wide, but from your sales alone is what I am wondering about. I am mostly just curious to see what people are buying up this year.

I am mostly just curious to see what people are buying up this year. oh yes, that would be very interesting. I assume Crosby is not in the top ten because there are to many fakes out there. I also think that probably only jersey insiders. But IceJerseys is on of the best sources I know for having outdated jerseys customised. Just too bad they don't send out loose lettering kits. Will IceJersey change that one day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finny Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yeah I'd be interested in knowing, I would think the Caps jersey would be up there. I would think Crosby would be #1 name although to go against the grain maybe I'd pick Ovechkin or LeCavalier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 They're all over Madison Square Garden. Every game I go to, I think I see more of the new style than I did the previous game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to notice that at Jobing.Com Arena myself as well. I'm also seeing the prices coming down on EBay lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 For what it's worth, I found this info on the Penguins' official website... TOP 10 SELLING PLAYER JERSEYS ON SHOP.NHL.COM (December 1-31, 2007) Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals Daniel Briere, Philadelphia Flyers Chris Drury, New York Rangers Ryan Miller, Buffalo Sabres Maxim Afinogenov, Buffalo Sabres Brendan Shanahan, New York Rangers Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh Penguins Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, they're all great players, but you'd think more people would be buying the league's point leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was just thinking about getting a Lecavalier one yesterday when I came across a cheap blank authentic . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, they're all great players, but you'd think more people would be buying the league's point leader. It is unfortunate but how many hockey fans out there do you think actually know WHO Vinny Lacavalier is? I'm willing to bet that he's not as well known as we would think. He plays for Tampa Bay; a team that not too many people even know about(a friend of mine didn't even know they had a team until last week) and it's not like the NHL markets him along with Crosby and Ovechkin. Yeah, he's in that EDGE commercial but so what? It's all about who knows you in this league and sad to say, outside of those ten up there, there's not much else for the average fan to grab onto.

DesertRat Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's Tampa Bay (no offense, TBLightningFan) and their jerseys are a little on the dark and boring side (they look way better in person). There are fans that can't even pronounce "Lecavalier". Now the NHL should really use him more in their ads and have his name repeated several times so there's never a question as to who he is. If he'd change his first name to LeBron, he'd sell more merchandise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a fan of the Bolts, and quite admittedly a "beer swillin' hockey nut", I guess I don't know who the "average fan" is. Maybe it's that guy who doesn't know the difference between an authentic and a replica, what CCM stands for, what the real definition of a "game winning goal" is, and isn't a fan of the movie "Slap Shot" or "Miracle". I'd like to think most people know we've got a team down here though...we won a Cup not too long ago...I was there for gawd sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was popular enough to crack the top 3 in Eastern Forward voting, so there are people that know of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The "average fan" would be the person asking how long the 4th quarter is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to consider myself an avid hockey fan...hell it makes up 65% of the conversations I'm in. I don't know what CCM stands for though...but I don't think that makes me any less of a hockey fan. I do know all of the rest of the stuff you mentioned though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys may not believe this one, but CCM stands for Canada Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd. "CCM produced bicycles for many years in the area of Weston, Toronto, Ontario. They also briefly produced an automobile. By 1905 with saturation in the bicycle market, CCM also began producing hockey skates and subsequently began manufacturing other hockey gear." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCM_%28The_Hockey_Company%29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomZoom18 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 In all honesty, I've never known what CCM stood for. All I knew about them were I loved their jerseys and their hockey equipment was pretty good! As for Lecavalier, it is interesting that he's not among the top sellers in jersey sales. Its too bad too. I don't follow the Lightning to in-depth, but he's always struck me as a guy who'd be easy to root for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CryWolf Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Okay guys, for the fun of it... lets see how good you are at ranking IceJerseys overall sales by team! I am putting together a list for sales rank of the 30 NHL teams (the list will include sales of vintage merchandise for teams that never moved (eg sabres, canadiens, oilers, etc. - as I believe it is fair to count vintage as part of a current team's overall sales - however Nordiques sales will not be counted as part of the Avs sales for example, since it is a team that moved). I will provide a rank 1-30 with % of overall sales starting Sept 1st, 2007 through Jan 14th. Keep in mind this is ALL apparel categories for each team (not just jerseys). I would say since we sell throughout North America and globally, our sales rank is a pretty good barometer of where fan interest lies for this season. So, just jot down all 30 current NHL teams by your predicted sales rank, and in a day or two, I'll post our list and we can see who is really on the pulse of the hockey marketing world!
