  1. If the change is to crests guess that’s something else I don’t have to worry about as a Hawks fan. Nothing being updated there…
  2. Rad story dude! Love it!
  3. The group in question was a Blackhawks Marketplace. So not specific for jerseys, but for anything related to Blackhawks merch
  4. Sometimes I don't get FB groups... Someone in a group posted a Chinese knockoff jersey. Multiple comments stated such and the seller didn't seem to get it. They just replied 'that's why it's so cheap'. I reported the post to the admin who messaged me wondering why I reported something when I don't own the group and some people can't afford authentic jerseys. This happened at least a month ago so I wasn't sure what she was talking about as a link wasn't included and I'd never been questioned for reporting a fake jersey in other groups. Her response to who she was, was 'I own the group and cuz I can read Maybe!' So, uh, she considers herself an 'owner' of facebook and at this point I'm over it. Since she didn't understand what a counterfeit jersey was or didn't have a problem with people posting because others can't afford 'real' jerseys, I asked if it was okay for me to forge signatures on pucks and sell them for $5-10? You know, for 'the people who can't afford the real thing, but still want to be a fan' stating that counterfeit goods are counterfeit goods regardless. She then replied saying she didn't know me and wanted me to leave her alone when SHE was the person that messaged me! *shakes head* you can't fix stupid
  5. I missed out on one of the Ducks District 5 jerseys due to a bug in the auction. Went back and forth with the Ducks organization, but at the end they couldn’t get me another jersey. Found the guy who won it, he said he wasn’t selling. A few days later he lists it for 4x what he paid. I offered him $300 more than his winning bid, but obviously he wanted more. I mean, good for him to make money I guess, but I’m still pissed at the auction since that jersey should have a permanent spot in my collection
  6. Curious if you read any of the pages in this thread since it goes through the entire process start to finish... Next steps would be using something like acetone/VLR/goo gone and a towel/toothbrush to scrub. Oh, and patience.
  7. I was never the biggest fan of this jersey design, but it's extremely rare to find a player with my same last name so figured it would be a fun set to add to my collection. Hunter McKown Team USA U18 from the cancelled 2020 World Championship
  8. In my experience with Adidas jerseys, yes. Not dramatically so (for the Blackhawks), but the MIC crests/shoulder patches feel like the twill backing is thicker or less flexible compared to indo (retail authentic) jerseys
  9. Finished up a second military jersey based on what Kane wore on May 1st of this year
  10. You guys and your RR’s. Nice pickups!
  11. Some, but not all. Same goes for the Kane 1k warm ups. Doesn’t make any sense
  12. Looks like a local kid's team design. So many stripes on the sleeves, but none on the waist? Also feels like the white on the sleeve stripes and crest, but not on the collar is a miss. Blank shoulders and I get what they were going for with the crest, but.... 👎
  13. Interesting. I know EPS does the Hogs, but I wonder why the change? I've been loving CSL's 2-3 day turnaround vs 3-4 months for EPS!
  14. Does anyone have any extra black Adidas nameplate material? Looking for two fairly large swatches
  15. Made an exception with this jersey. Too large that I'll never be able to wear it, but I wanted to complete my trifecta of Hawks practice jerseys and the price was right, so...
  16. I’m not the expert on the old Christmas trees, but it looked fantastic! I certainly wouldn’t have paid $600 for it, but the seller did appear to be completely upfront in the description
  17. Off topic, but I’m more excited about how many players are already adopting the new Tacks X helmet! Really looking forward to trying one of these once pro stock are available at (hopefully) less than the $500 retail tag. They look like they adjust the same way as the V08 and not the Tacks 110-910 so I’m crossing my fingers it’ll fit my noggin
  18. Mmmm.... whataburger.... 🤤
  19. Yeah, I really do want one of those. Would be perfect for ODR season
  20. So you put two and two together between forum names and Facebook names, that was me

    eBay version 4.0

    Any body looking for a Blackhawks practice jersey? Seems legit https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Pro-OT-NHL-Chicago-Blackhawks-White-Practice-Jersey-Size-Large-11-/284218915029?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
  22. 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!!
