I try going through a few different sites after Getty. First, I take a look at Flickr. Throw a bunch of different queries (first the player, if nothing, then the team name and refine it by date) and hope for the best. If that doesn't work then I move to Twitter. Same deal, just searching for tweets by the team or "team name" and refining the search by date. I also had luck with Instagram recently, just searched the player's name in a hashtag and ended up finding an amateur's photo that just so happened to have a photomatch for my jersey. Of course the image quality for these (Twitter and Instagram especially) aren't great so you're more likely to only get a photo reference than an actual match though. Ah and the last caveat is that I did use this process for modern jerseys so it was easier to find stuff but it was for events that don't typically get much coverage like rookie tournament and preseason games. Hopefully this helps!

Gave this a complete overhaul, lots of new stuff added!

Sorry buddy. I was actually considering bidding on the Carl Dahlstrom GI instead but I was worried it was a 58, which would be too big for small ol' me. I'll be sure to take good care of this beauty.

A few of my latest pickups. The Jets costed me a solid chunk of change but I really wanted one of these Heritage navy alts so I'm happy to have it. I'm also a big fan of how nice the set tags are.

Oh oh let me continue the Blue Jackets 3rd trend. A size 54 stripped game issued I acquired in a trade.

The Oilers discussion was all for naught as I'm gonna move that to fund this pick up right here: A 2011 World Juniors gamer of John Klingberg. There's some decent wear on this thing despite the minimal games that were played in it, and I'm beyond thrilled to add this to my collection. I also had a couple other jerseys come in recently. Love these cannon alts. Just a basic ol' preseason gamer but in a very nice (and wearable) size 52.

I really appreciate all the information and input guys. I understand the hesitation of not wanting to strip it, but if the customization is incorrect and the jersey was not used in a game or even issued in this state, I don't really value the "history" that's present in it. Personally, I'd be looking to make this a Kurri with as proper of on-ice specifications as I could get if I were to strip it. I feel like getting it done correctly to the era would do a rare jersey like this justice. Of course, that's just what I think. I've never really waded into vintage jerseys as they're definitely before my time haha.

A few pickups over the past couple weeks for me. I've been told the Oilers is incorrectly customized for it's era, not to mention it's a foul since Pat Hughes left the Oilers organization by the time it was worn too. Nonetheless, it's a real unique piece and a potential project for me down the road if I so choose.

I don't know folks, I'm a bigger fan of Gritzky than that scrub Gretzky or whatever.

The amount of time and heart that had to have been put into those, absolutely incredible stuff!!

Couple GIs/Gamers added to the collection recently. The Heponiemi is GI for both 17/18 and 18/19, there's evidence of the NHL100 patch being removed. The Downing is also GI, I'm going to be removing the nameplate and replacing it with Makar. And the Alex Beaucage has so much wear for a one tournament jersey. I love that I was able to photomatch it. Very happy to add these to the collection.

The German address did, I got my own mailing address on mailboxde.com then added it to my eBay account and bought an item that only shipped in that country. The Japan service was White Rabbit Express, but I'm pretty sure they specialize in only Japanese purchases and that wasn't through eBay.

This might be irrelevant, but I've used both a purchase and shipping service from Japan to Canada, and I've used a German mailing address for another purchase. I didn't have any problems with either services. Both came relatively quick and shipping was reasonably priced. Didn't pay any import fees either.

Cold as ice, I love it haha.

I always have something available. Prices are in USD, shipping is $15 to Canada and $20 to the USA. International on request, at cost. PayPal F&F or add 4% to the price, choice is yours.

Found these two images, looks like he wore the Nike jerseys. :

Got this in the mail today. It's not NHL but it is NHL related: These Buffalo Bills themed jerseys were worn by Team USA during the 2018 World Juniors. Pretty sure this is game issued to Los Angeles Kings prospect Cole Hults, given the sponsor patches and my belief that they never sold authentics to the public. What's interesting is that Hults was a really early cut from camp but they still had this made up for him. I'll probably make this available sometime soon.

It's a size 56.

More pickups today/yesterday. The Sakic all-star is a size 46, and it's available if anyone's interested. The Cole Murphy looks to be a gamer, and I'm open to trading it for a CCM Sherbrooke Phoenix jersey in either size 54 or 56.

Yeah I can't get over how sick it is. Never thought I'd get the chance to own a Team Japan jersey, and now I've even got another one coming haha. I had to jump on it when I saw it was made by Nike since all the u-20 and u-18 Japan jerseys were made by Tackla, which I'm not as big of a fan of.

A little international-flavored mail day today. This jersey is such a beauty, I'm in love haha. A Rui Ukita Game worn jersey from a bunch of exhibition games from years 2015-2018, the 2015 World Championship, the 2016 World Championship and also worn in the 2017 Asian Winter Games (photo above, the only photomatch I got) where Team Japan won gold. It's a size 54 W, which is a pretty nice fit for me. Fun fact: Ukita got suspended a game back in the 2018 Olympics for kicking someone. Pretty Corey Perry-esque.

I appreciate the information folks!

Thanks guys, might have to put this project on the backburner then. Correct me if I'm wrong but EPS charges the same for Name/Number as they do with just the nameplate, right?

Flo Knit huh? You're probably right, I just assumed it was the swift material but I don't really know much about international jerseys and their material, so thank you. Guess I'm looking for Flo Knit instead, hopefully it's easier to obtain.

On the hunt for some yellow Nike Swift material for the jersey below. Needs to be long enough for "KAHUN". PM if you got some, thanks.
