LAK74 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Man, what an awesome Gretzky. Was that lettered as a game-issue by the team back in the day, or was the lettering obtained separately and applied later to a blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause people back then had their elbows in a different place. Plus they had an extra bone in their arm so they could fight off saber tooth tigers. Thats' just the way the Sandow jerseys were, they put double material right where the elbow fell instead of just using the seam of the jersey as the starting point like in later years. The double material overlaps the seam on the bottom corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Mark Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Like later year Oilers, double elbows located where today's human elbow lands, haha. Maybe that's why they stopped using Sandow, equipment staff got tired of stitching up board burns on the single layer part of the jerseys. Although, maybe if they went back to Sandow someone would score 92 goals. Oh yeah, guys today don't have the extra bone so that wouldn't work.

Pens4ever Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Welcome! Sometimes it's cool to keep things rolling and move something that means even more to a fellow collector than for oneself. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyMusic Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 On Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at 11:31 AM, TMLFAN said: had this patch sitting in a box for a few years so I finally got around to doing something with it. The lineup for the game was as you'd expect from the Leafs of a few years ago, an absolute tire fire. That and getting destroyed 5-0 at home to Montreal was probably why it sit in the box for as long as it did. Anyways, this dude just played his 500th game for the Leafs which is kinda amazing considering me and everybody else was praying he'd be traded three years ago. Wouldn't mind taking that off your hands if you think he sucks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 A bit of mid-to-late 90s Tampa Bay goodness courtesy of Pens4ever. The numbers - I can't decide if they're ugly or brilliant, but I like them either way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 These pictures look pretty noisy for some reason, not sure why. Got this in the other day, took a lot of time to get looking good. 3 washes, several different stain treatments, and a bunch of advice on the cleaning aspect from Mfitz and the result is a perfect Pro Player. Evens out my total at two whites and two reds so I'm satisfied for now. And another Albany Devils game, another impulse buy. This was game used with a #20 and stripped nameplate, almost no game wear other than a nasty burn on the crest. Had a hell of a time stripping the numbers, but it was worth it seeing as there was no other way to get a blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMkicks Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have been meaning to take some '08-'13 jerseys to Blake's but have not had the time to drive over to the shop. Mind me asking what the price was for his services? That 100 year anniversary patch will forever remind me of the most disappointing year in team history.

Ash Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Not the greatest pics, but I really like this jersey; the logo, color and best of all, the Brewers sponsorship - A sports team sponsoring another sports team? Way better than Pepsi, Dunkin' Donuts or the like. Nameplate needs re-attaching, but this is how it arrived today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like the Admirals' jerseys and like you said, that sponsor patch is awesome. Its still my goal to own a franchise and then have Trojans or Tampax or something like that be the sponsor so that patch will be on the jersey.
