I might head out in the morning and pick one up. The bad thing it is such a PITA to park at because it is right on Michigan Ave. Not sure who you spoke with, but to be clear, we don't have the A's on those (or the Canada Toews, btw). In any case, if you haven't swung down here yet and don't feel like making the drive, feel free to shoot me a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I realize they don't have the "A", but kind of doubt I am going to find any of the Premier's with the "A". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2jdmbfan Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Anyone ever order from "hockey-authentic" on eBay? They have customized Premier McDavid's with the "C", but I'm not sure how good their customization is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird to hear from prowear, I talked to him on Saturday and he said he expected USA and NA. Maybe this is another case of Adidas not fulfilling orders.

LAK74 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Dammit, now I'm having the same problem as HC- can't get rid of those quote boxes. Prowear does the lettering themselves, in house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowear does the lettering themselves, in house. Thanks. I'm so at a loss on where to order a McDavid premier from, as it is obvious I'm not going to find an authentic in a 54 or 56 at this point in time. Shop.nhl.com is now out of my size. I should have just ordered one this morning as a back-up. The three places I have found are with XL premier's in stock are coolhockey, prowear, and hockey-authentic. All 3 of them say they take the blank premier's from Adidas and customize them themselves or have a 3rd party do them. It also appears the hockey hall of fame, https://shop.hhof.com, has them as well. Edited September 12, 2016 by y2jdmbfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cannon Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) For those interested, I believe EPS can do the proper customizing. This was my email: " Hi, I was just wondering if you guys will have the ability to do the World Cup of Hockey jerseys with the proper material. They look like they're going to be very hard to replicate and all of the other companies i've seen just have dots on the numbers instead of actual holes. Thanks for any help that you can provide, it is greatly appreciated. " This was the response I got: " Yes we can, they are $85. Probably 6 weeks or so on WCOH. " Obviously EPS has said they could do things in the past when they couldn't but hey it's the first i've seen that has potential to do them properly.

TMLFAN Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I thought the hole pattern was just sublimated onto the twill. Your saying the twill has actual holes cut out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm pretty sure there are actual holes in the twill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cannon Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I see light hitting those holes differently than the rest of the twill so I assume it's actual holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 The question doesn't lay out specifically what you want to know. That question and answer don't say they will be cutting actual holes and if that is important to you, you should clarify it. Otherwise you may be disappointed.

LAK74 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 While watching yesterday's NA/EUR game, I noticed the sleeve numbers on the black North America jerseys are considerably more complicated than the (apparently) one-layer Europe ones. They seem to be kiss-cut, with black mesh on the bottom, with a stencil-like red pattern laid out on top and stitched over. I didn't get as good a look at the Europe back numbers, but I think they would be similar. People don't seem to like the Europe jerseys much, but I thought the white jersey, complete with the lettering and patches, looked really cool.

Fair enough, one would normally be able to assume that he would mention that they're not doing it with the actual holes but it's no guarantee.

Based on what occurred with the All Star jerseys from last year, where they said they would do them to on-ice specs and then they proceeded not to, I would not rely on the answer you were given. If having it exactly to specs is important to you, you really have to lay it out there with EPS. Like I always say in any thread about customization, one should never assume that a customizer is going to do the job exactly to on-ice specs, unless said customizer is the one who did the on-ice jerseys. Even then, if details such as use of a certain material nameplate are what you want, you should specifically request it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Got my USA jersey in last week. Not sure if I'm a fan of the actual jersey in person. Huge thanks to The Dude for helping me out with shipping to the US, but I think I'm going to sell/return the jersey. If anyone's interested, let me know.

JimmyGagner Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 On-Ice and Authentics have perforated twill numbers. Premier are printed "holes" to simulate the perforation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
