hockeyjerseyssuck Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 So I have a few jerseys I may want to get done up, all of the same design. I've heard of collectors cutting up extra jerseys to make name plate material. I have an Edge 1.0 jersey in a larger size that I could convince myself to cut up to make name plates. My question is, what part of the jersey is used for "Edge" material? Is it the mesh part on the back where the number sits on? Or is it the actual shoulder area where the name plate rests on? If it is the shoulder area, it seems rather futile, since you wouldn't get very much material even out of a large jersey. Second, I've never owned an Edge 2.0 jersey, only 1.0. Assuming it is the mesh panel on the back of the Edge 1.0 where the number rests that make up the name plate material, would this material also be able to be used for 2.0 jerseys?Lastly, does either EPS or Gamedaysportsarchives carry Edge material for common jersey colours? I only ask this because cutting up a jersey seems foolish if the material is easily obtained. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 EPS does carry it, but you may want to call and confirm the colors you want. The back of the jersey is the correct material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back of the jersey is the correct material. So by back, do you mean the material in this area I've highlighted? Also, is this material the same for both Edge 1.0 and 2.0 jerseys? Thanks for the help thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLFAN Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just a heads up but some teams had that back material go all the way up to where the rbk patch is unlike what is shown on that sens jersey. For teams that had it all the way up the nameplates were made of the material you have circled on both 1.0's and 2.0's. In the case of teams that had the jerseys cut like that Sens jersey (Pittsburgh is another team that comes to mind) you have to look at pictures of gamers to make sure what material was used. Since the material of the jersey where the nameplate attaches is different than that back material the teams could have used air-knit (for 2.0's) or whatever the arm areas are made of (on 1.0's) Leafs 1.0 showing the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 So that's what a Leafs jersey looks like. I haven't seen one of those since early April. The old Tampa jerseys were built the same way with that boring Edge template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) So by back, do you mean the material in this area I've highlighted? Also, is this material the same for both Edge 1.0 and 2.0 jerseys? Yes. And it's the same material on 1.0 and 2.0's.Hold on a second. That's not entirely correct, especially for teams like the Senators and Penguins, which currently have jersey designs where the back shoulder panel drops very low, and the nameplate goes on top of the shoulder panel, not on the back mesh panel.On Sens and Penguins 2.0's, the shoulder panel is made of airknit, and the back panel is Edge stretch mesh. The nameplate is actually made out of airknit, not Edge mesh. I'm not sure about the Sens, but when the Pens used 1.0's, the nameplate was made out of the same x-trafil that the shoulder panel was made of. So for these teams, they DON'T use the same mesh material that you find on the back panel. Edit: Whoops, I didn't see TMLFAN's post until after I already posted this.

thebiggoalie Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I wasn't saying they all used edge (the back) material for the nameplates. I was just saying that the back panels of the 1.0 and 2.0 are the same material. Go Leafs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooeyperry10 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I couldn't tell if I was watching Brazil or the Leafs today. Almost. If Brazil were the Leafs, they would have thrown away the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pens4ever Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi there, not quite sure where to post this, but can somebody tell me if the Minnesota Wild are using edge or airknit material on their red home jerseys? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
