Where is that on the site? I'm looking at it right now and the home/road both have the Indo-Zero button.

No, this is Patrick.

I swear, one of these days I will make it out to the Expo. Maybe I'll get at least one person to look at a table with my cobbled-together collection of gamers with no particular theme.

I always start with the stupid lowball offers. Worst case scenario, it gets rejected and I move on up. Best case scenario, I score a team-issued blank for less than $30.

Yes.

And now it’s on its way back after having arrived at EPS a week ago.

I’m no expert and I haven’t seen the on-ice patch in person but I think you’re good to go. National Emblem makes the on-ice patches so that looks legit. Don’t pull the trigger until someone backs me up or tells you otherwise.

Keener is faster than EPS. I remember when I had them do my Bruins with screen-printing that the turnaround was very fast.

No.

Yeah, I emailed them and Josh responded almost immediately to tell me to ship it back so they can fix it. Credit where credit is due to EPS: they are responsive and easy to contact.

What’s funny is that I’ve seen EPS both ask me to confirm what they thought were mistakes and also fix mistakes that I made without even asking me. When I had them do my 03-04 Thrashers alt, I asked for it layered and they emailed me to confirm that I wanted it layered, since they usually did it kiss-cut. I emailed them back with photos of a Stefan gamer that was layered. Also, on the Lightning jersey that came back with my recent order, I mistakenly said that I wanted the metallic twill as the outer layer on the numbers. I must have not been paying attention when I typed that. They did it correctly as the middle kiss-cut layer.

So, I ended up having to send my Burger King back to EPS since they forgot to put the C on it. Even if I hadn't put it on my order, you’d think that that’s not something that would slip through the cracks since I went the cliche route and had it done as a Gretzky. At least the two other jerseys came out nice. I’m not terribly upset that I have to wait longer for the BK since they’re fixing it for free, as expected.

Ugh, I was hoping that something had changed and that they’d started using something electronic. Sending the payment with the jerseys, especially in cash, makes me nervous.

What kinds of payment does Blake's take?

Yes, you're correct on both.

Interesting. Every single Reebok 6100 I have has the latter. It’s not a separate year thing since I have one jersey that was only worn in 05-06 (the Mooterus) and one that was only worn in 06-07 (the Ducks’ 6100).

I'm in that same boat with a 05-07 alternate.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that that material responds better to sublimation.

Those are the Ballard-era jerseys so I don't know if that's necessarily a time that they'd want to throw back to. I'm pretty sure that they changed jerseys two years after he died because they wanted to distance themselves from Ballard.

The BBB is a scam like Yelp. Businesses can pay to have negative reviews removed and/or positive reviews promoted.

Ok, now I’m starting to question if I had my three Bruins done correctly by Keener. Does anyone have a late 90s CCM and/or a Koho and/or a Reebok 6100 gamer that they’d be willing to share photos of the customization of? I know that @LAK74 and I had a fair bit of discussion about this back when Keener did my jerseys but all of this discussion has me wondering. All of the photos I have aren’t as clear as what’s been shared here.

The BBB isn't a government agency. They have no real power.

FYI, EPS says they'll do the Bruins sublimated/stitched style for $85. If you're willing to look past the fact that their font may not be perfect, they'll do the proper Bruins style and your jerseys won't be held hostage by a company that is impossible to get a hold of.

I got my invoice from EPS today less than two months after ordering. They did a Koho Wild alternate, a Burger King and a 2004 SCF Lightning. Not a bad turnaround.

Yeah, I already acknowledged that I was wrong, especially after looking at my JFK gamer. It’s one layer of twill with a separate color printed onto it.
