spudrock512 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Question to all those out there. I want to put a 25th anniversary patch on Islanders Palffy Fisherman Jersey. However, it is a reproduction from Patch Collections and it is not super close. Here is what the authentic patch looked like: And here is the reproduction look like: The Stanley cups look way different, the font is off, and the waves at the bottom are not as thick. With all that said, would you use the reproduction patch on your jersey? Does anyone know where I could track down an authentic patch? I would love to hear what your thoughts are on this because I would hate to spend the time putting an inferior patch on a very nice jersey. Thanks!

furiousd Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 The Cups on the repro look like cooling towers. I swear I saw one of these for sale within the last few weeks that was advertised as an original. Can't seem to find it though. Personally, I've gone both ways on this, it just depends on the jersey. Will it bug you every time you look at it? Don't do it. Will you be happy enough until you can find an original? Go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKevinShow Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm going to use a repro patch on my replica Fisherman since I have been completely unable to find an authentic. I assume they are even more rare than the jerseys themselves since the jerseys were worn more often than the patch was, especially since they didn't even wear the Fisherman jerseys for the entire anniversary season. It's a replica, so I accept that the patch is imperfect along with the rest of the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGHTY-DUCKS8 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I actually had two loose team issued patches. I just recently traded one to a member on here. They are not easy to find and if they are found they aren't cheap either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlereFlammam Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 They showed the leafs jerseys with the patch above the numbers at the intro to the centennial classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I think the Leafs' jerseys were the only ones on which I liked the patch placement. On some of the others it seemed too close to the sleeve numbers, or too crowded with the sleeve stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad considering they were $20cdn at the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman91 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The 100 year patches can they be sewn or do they have that hard plastic on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 You can take that backing off by dropping the patch into a boiling water bath and pulling it off little by little with tongs. Or, you can cover it with a t-shirt and use a blazing hot iron to get it off eventually. Don't force it though. You could end up distorting the patch beyond repair.

mfitz804 Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The National Emblem 100th patches have glue backing but NOT the hard plastic backing. No removal necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Newer patches do not seem to have the hard plastic backing I have bought the 100th ann'y, centennial classic and alumni game patches and none had the plastic back I even bought a Habs "100" shoulder patch and it did not have it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The Blues wore their Winter Classic stuff last night against Dallas but swapped out the patch for their 50th patch. It was a good look. I guess I need two of those now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what size you wear, but he is out of size 60 and WILL NOT be ordering in nameplates. The minimum order is 48 units and according to him he doesn't want to sit on a bunch of nameplates, which I understand but it still stinks.

e30cabrio Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I ordered a Lundqvist Premier from Jersey Barron that is waiting on the 100th-anniversary patch. Hopefully, he gets it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
