Most players switched to 2.0 halfway through the 2008 season, so yeah, they were wearing this style when they won the Cup in 2010. This patch matches that. Thanks!
As I said, I also don't care about the fight strap buttons either. The construction of the fight strap with flat or round buttons is the same. Or at least it looks the same when I compare both versions. Only difference I see is one side of the button is round and the other is flat. If they were constructed differently I probably would be more accurate about them.
Regarding the hip tag vs neck tag, I mean, I guess you see them when we (collectors) post pics, but other than that when else would you ever see it? Certainly not when wearing them (which is what I do with my jerseys). And if you're taking the stance of never seeing the hip tag, why would anyone care about the button shape on a fight strap? Most of us don't post photos of the fight strap nor are they seen when on display or worn. So that's basically the same, no?
Sounds like people are pretty split on caring vs not. I'm obviously in the latter camp! I will say I learned something new today as up until this morning I had never once paid attention to neck tags or the style of buttons, so thanks guys!!
