Fritz, Thanks for that helpful information. I guess that makes sense about the trademark issues for preventing EFF from producing certain jerseys. You are right. There were some cool classic hockey jerseys they have made, especially during the 1950s/60s. I kind of liked the Greensboro Generals jersey among others as well. Those are very cool jerseys of the Pittsburgh Hornets that you had done. They look even better with the tackle twill numbers/letters. That Hornets logo you had made by the vendor in California is pretty sweet too. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to have them make that logo? Will they do any logo if a person sends them some good photos? If so, if you could provide me their contact information, I would really appreciate it. Great collection of jerseys you have. I would think that EFF would give you some refund of the custom ordered jersey you had made, since you gave them the idea to produce it for their catalog. Let's hope. Anyway, thanks again for all your help, Fritz! Take care. Lance

Hello again, Fritz! The jersey may already too far along to make any changes to it at this point, but I will try to contact EFF to see where it is at in the process. I know that Jerry had sent me photos of the actual 1960 USA hockey jerseys and was going to do it exactly to spec so hopefully the yoke will turn out accurately. Do you have any idea why EFF would not make the 1960 USA hockey jersey one of their standard produced jerseys to sell instead of having to do a special custom order of it (that is, whenever they agree to do one for someone as that is not guaranteed). I know they have made the 1972 Soviet Union (CCCP) hockey sweater jersey for general purchase, as well as many other obscure hockey jerseys that I would think would be difficult to sell many of. Doesn't make sense to me as beautiful and popular as the 1960 USA jersey would be if they decided to. They would have no problem selling out of those if they decided to. Thanks again for your response, Fritz!

Hello Fritz! I just wanted to thank you for providing David Frost's contact info. I really appreciate your help. I will try to contact him soon. I have not received my finished 1960 USA hockey jerseys customized to Bill and Roger Christian so do not have any pictures to post of them right now, but will be sure to do so once I receive them. I actually was able to get the patches from Charlie Dombeck at Dorholt Custom Sports in Aurora, CO per recommendations from USA hockey. I know what you are saying about Jerry Cohen at EFF being a little touchy. Once he agreed to make the custom jerseys for me and then provided some details about what they would look like, I had some follow-up questions. He seemed to be a little irritated and impatient by my questions and almost wanted to cancel the custom order, but once I assured him that I was satisfied with his responses about the jerseys, he seemed to back-off and agree to process my order. It should be finished in about a month. Really looking forward to them. I will keep you posted on their progress. Thanks again Fritz!

Lou, I know it has been a few years since you originally posted and commented on your 1960 USA hockey jerseys. I just wanted to commend you on a great job on those jerseys and for posting pics of those. They look awesome! I was also able to get Ebbets Field Flannels to recently do a custom order of both the white and blue 1960 hockey sweaters just like yours, except that I chose to do the Christian brothers, Roger (#10) and Bill (#6) since they are relatively close to where I am from. Just like your jerseys, Ebbets only does these custom jersey with numbers and letters in flannel and not twill. I noticed in your blog that you stated that Exclusive Pro Sports (David Frost?) did the removal of the flannel and replacement with twill. I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor to provide what the cost was for them to do that as well as what their mailing address and point of contact would be for me to send my jerseys off to have those done like yours. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks in advance for all your time. Take care. lbrockel
