Mikeykey13 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hey Guys, This is my first post here and I want to first say thank you. I've been reading the older forums regarding the various differences in NHL jerseys and your posts are extremely helpful. On to the topic, I found this jersey at a store in Chicago. These are pretty rare, right? Its an edge 1.0 with a blank back. When I saw it, there was no way I could pass it up. Looks amazing, no snags and such.

KG777NT Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah those don't pop up too often because they changed to the winter classic alternate after only a year or two of having the black alternate with the edge jersey system. Let me know if you ever are interested in selling it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Win Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Worn 1 season 2008/09...nice find... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeykey13 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I have no idea what player to customize it with. Current doing research for any patches from 08/09 to make it really official, even though I really don't recall there being any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Per NHLpatches.info the only patch they wore in 2008/09 was in the Winter Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeykey13 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Wow, you guys are awesome. Who would you use in the Chicagoland area for lettering? City Sports? Gunzo's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Win Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 If you want an Edge fabric Nameplate...probably CSL (make sure you specify). If you don't care on the plate (airknit), I'd recommend Triple Threat Sports, they do a terrific job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Per NHLpatches.info the only patch they wore in 2008/09 was in the Winter Classic. Interesting site- of note, the '94 SCF pic is the least correct one as discussed in the other thread (with those blue outlines on the words Stanley Cup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeykey13 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Which nameplate is the specific one to this jersey, the edge material or the air-knit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girouxsalem Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm no Hawks expert but my best guess would be edge material as there is no air knit on a 1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Win Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I believe that on the Edge jerseys, Edge nameplates are the way to go...that is what I have done with my CBH Edge jerseys. I know that many collectors don't mind Air Knit plates (and save a few bucks in the process). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeykey13 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am not worried about collectors, This jersey is all for me :-)!! I will call city sports lettering tomorrow thank you so much guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeykey13 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Now to decide if I want a players name or my last name. !!! Now that's a tough call! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonte78 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Now to decide if I want a players name or my last name. !!! Now that's a tough call! A players name, because your last name is considered a jersey foul. Here's the 2008-2009 roster: http://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CHI/2009.html I also have a black 1.0 Hawks jersey, mine is a Skille.

Flyers845 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Go sharp. Please don't put your last name on it c'mon Peter Pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawks Win Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Only use your last name if it the same as a player who wore the same vintage jersey...bottom line is it's your jersey do what you want but based on my experience, most people I know who have done this, regret it later down the road and pay to have it changed out (to varrying degrees of success.

JustAnothaVictim Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Wow, you guys are awesome. Who would you use in the Chicagoland area for lettering? City Sports? Gunzo's? Go with City Sports lettering. That's their customizer, at least for that season. But ask about their nameplate material. They might use airknit but I don't know if they did that for the team too.

Tazer19 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Wow, you guys are awesome. Who would you use in the Chicagoland area for lettering? City Sports? Gunzo's? In my humble opinion-I would use Triple Threat Sports. The owner use to run City Sports and his work now is 100 times better then City. City uses way to much adhesive and cheap twill. I have been in Triple Threat many times when people brought in jerseys from City to be stripped and redone because the twill was bad etc... I have well over 200 jerseys in my collection and I trust them to no one but Triple Threat...and one big thing about them is the turn around time...3-4 weeks...where City is about 7-8....and EPS is even longer...

Mikeykey13 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thinking maybe a toews, first year as captain. Get that C on there. Lookin' pretty sweet, or maybe get marty on there. Man this decision is tougher than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyjerseyssuck Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 You can never go wrong with 2013 Conn Smythe trophy winner Patrick Kane. And if he ever leaves the team, you can just pretend it's a tribute jersey to former WWF Champion Kane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I think you should go with your name and 69. Classiest combination available. Or "Red Wings Suck" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
