Typically "Authentic" numbers are heat pressed onto the jersey, then stitched. This is to keep the numbers in place when the sewing is done. There is no glue applied, the glue/adhesive is actually apart of the twill. So one side is the twill and the other side has a hardened adhesive on it that melts when heat pressed. With the "Heat Pressed" numbers it is almost impossible to cleanly remove them from the jersey because they use a much stronger adhesive on the numbers. I suppose this is to compensate for the numbers not being stitched down onto the jersey. I've seen some heat pressed numbers removed and the glue residue left behind is very hardened and almost embedded onto the jersey.

The name size is 3 inches high for most teams. Also not sure but I think sleeve numbers are 4 inches and back numbers are 12 inches on most teams. Some teams like the Flyers have larger numbers. I know that for the Sens red home/black alternate jerseys the back numbers got smaller when they switched to Edge.

Love Minnesota jerseys, this was a great read, thank you!

Is the first layer of twill a cream color? Looks great.

Regarding nameplates, I just bought the current Edge Tampa Bay Lightning jersey. The area where the name plate goes looks like ultrafil. Which material do they use for name plates? Thanks!

Does anyone know who does the jerseys for the Ottawa Senators? Very curious about this. Thanks.
