joed1969 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Why 15 years, is a good question. Notice the tags are still on the garment. As I jersey collector a friend purchased this for me for doing a gratis job for him in August of 1998. Later that year, I got married and move out of home, hence leaving a few boxes of personal effects behind. Low and behold, I was asked to come get my stuff ... and got reacquainted with this beauty. I know Modano was an alternate captain that year, but did he actually wear the A on that particular jersey in the Finals? I'm not sure. According to photo research, Mike Modano did wear an "A" during the Finals, but only on the whites. RCS ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joed1969 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) As for getting it stripped and fixed, EPS could strip it and fix it for you. I apologies for my ignorance, what is EPS ? Does anybody know about Blake's Sports Lettering, in Garland, Texas ? Edited April 2, 2014 by joed1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 EPS is Exclusive Pro Sports (http://exclusivepro.com) in Rockford, Illinois.They are one of best and most experienced jersey customizers around. Though they aren't perfect, there is usually a sizable wait to get jerseys back and like any customizer, they are only as good as the detailed instructions you provide them. From what I know, Blake's Sports Lettering is the official customizer of the Dallas Stars. The general rule of thumb is if you can get the official customizer to do the work, use them. In your particular case, I suggested EPS because they can strip the jersey and do the customization - killing two birds with one stone. You could also get the jersey stripped someplace and then send it to Blake's. I just don't know if Josh at EPS would be willing to just strip the jersey without also customizing it. You can give them a call and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I just don't know if Josh at EPS would be willing to just strip the jersey without also customizing it. You can give them a call and find out. That may pose a problem: I ran into some trouble last year sending EPS a jersey where I wanted them to just strip the numbers from the back- they did but he kept indicating he needed to re-customize it (of which it wouldn't have been correct). He was good enough to do it in the end but it's not something they do regularly. But it don't cost anything to call and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modano1973 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Seems to be a common mistake with the green 1999 Modano Stanley Cup finals jerseys having the letter A on it. The one I purchased a few years back also had A on it, which Modano never wore in the 1998-1999 Finals, including the night the Stars won the Cup. I stripped the A off mine but it didn't come off clean. Edited April 3, 2014 by modano1973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Blake's Sports Lettering just did a current Stars jersey for me that is in the process of being shipped back to me. From my account so far, they've been great. Cheap, quick. They're only accessible by phone, and they're often very busy so just keep calling. If they won't strip the jersey, then you'll have to find someone willing to do it. I highly doubt you're going to get RCS to stand by a guarantee after 15 years though, unless you still have proof of purchase, and even then I don't know that they'll do it after 15 years.

lapp3r30 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Got a game issue Colorado 3rd jersey. 2.0 from last year (Meigrey, #2 Joel Chouinard GI ). I want to customize it to a Duchene (Which is why I bought #2) but the name plate seems to be on there pretty good... It almost seems glued on the edges or pressed or something..??? Anyone have any ideas or experiences stripping these things??? Edited April 17, 2014 by lapp3r30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 No experience whatsoever but hoepfully if there's any problems a new, same-sized plate would cover it up...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedmaya Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Has anyone ever tried to strip a Rangers GI? I'm thinking about taking the numbers off one and I figured I'd ask first to see if it's a lost cause before I even start. Any input/tips appreciated!

foppa21 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) So I ordered a kit off EPS and I had a local jersey customizer help me stitch it on. And when the number was stitched it on, it was crooked... And it's really irritating me. The customizer is refusing to own up to his mistake too. I contacted Joshua at EPS and he said he could try to strip it if I sent it in, but I've already spent way more than I would have liked on this jersey. I believe the customizer had heat-pressed the number onto the jersey before stitching it. Do you think I would be able to tackle this? Thanks Edit: the heat-press and stitching was just applied probably at most a week ago. Not sure if that will factor in.

foppa21 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) And one more thing I thought I might as well add here. The same customizer helped me do up a Selanne Winnipeg Jets rookie jersey, but he added an assistant's "A" on it without me asking for one.... It's an ultrafil jersey I think? What are the chances of me stripping that cleanly as well? As with the Avalanche Duchene, it was recently heat-pressed and stitched on. Thanks Edited May 22, 2014 by foppa21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeshy25 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Bought a 2004 ASG customized with Thornton 19 and Boston patch. It has a nameplate so that should be a little easier. Each layer for letters and numbers is stitched to the jersey directly so its definitely going to be a PITA. Question: Boston logo patch is glued on and not stitched. Best way to go about removing it? Would EPS be able to remove a glued-on patch? How much does EPS charge for stripping & recustomizing a shirt? Thanks in advance. Looking to make it a Jagr.

mfitz804 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I plan to buy a game issued Devils EDGE 2.0 road jersey and then have it stripped and re-done to the player of my choosing. There are several options available in my size. 1) A #22 with a 7 letter name 2) A #33 with a 5 letter name. Mine will be a Clowe, #29. What's my best play? Going to have the strip and the customizing by EPS. Do I go with the #22 and just have them change the second number? If it's better/necessary to strip the full number, do I go with the one with the same length name? All of this is contingent in whether they pick up anyone cool when free agency starts, or if Schneider signs an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this is contingent in whether they pick up anyone cool when free agency starts, or if Schneider signs an extension. Even thought it's very unlikely, I'd ask Josh at EPS if the color of the 9 will match the color of the 2 if you go with the jersey that has 22 on it. If you go with the 33 is there a chance there will be a lot of glue residue/shadow? As far as the name, don't the Devils use plates? I'm thinking that should come off clean with no real issues.

mfitz804 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The Devils do use plates, I was more curious if the length of the name made a difference interns of any glue residue that may be under there. I think I'm just afraid to take a chance on a white jersey. But the blanks aren't available. At least not so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Too bad you can't use a 58 instead of a 58+. There's a size 58 road GI already issued for Clowe. You'd just have to take the HHOF patch off the front if you didn't want it on the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd just have to take the HHOF patch off the front if you didn't want it on the jersey.I was looking at that, I may try that one out. I read the thread on the difference in measurements, I'm betting the 58 would be fine on me. I prefer them loose and I have long arms so I've gone with 58+ in the past.We'll see what the summer sale brings...that's this season's jersey, which may mean less of a sale or no sale price at all. But the strip and re-do cost might just neutralize that anyway. Edited June 27, 2014 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Red Wings Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Probably so. Single layer twill and I have stripped a bunch of those Nike airknit jerseys. They usually come out well. I have a blank in size 52 if you're interested though, I'll beat that price even. This one has never been customized and is in very good shape.
