Carl Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 It arrived yesterday. Game issued Colorado Avalanche adidas authentic jersey. Size 56 (I had no other choice for size). A few comments: 1- Numbers are all kiss cut. 2- I actually don't own any other size 56, so it's hard to compare but I was surprised at how well it fits me. I'm usually a size 52 for the Reebok EDGE. I'm 6'3" and over 200 pounds. 3- The shoulder patches are not embroidered which to me was a big surprised. At first I thought it was like the Reebok replicas, but upon further examination, the material is higher quality than that. Still though. 4- I've zoomed in on the actual Ads logo so you can see the material. 5- How did I get it? Through a friend of a friend who is a member of the Avalanche organization and I called in a favour. I did not have the option to choose the player, though I'm thrilled with Barrie. #4 is a great hockey number and he is a member of the Avalanche leadership group (even is unlettered). 6- I got it at cost, and it didn't break the bank. Adidas would 100% be able to sell those and there would be a market for it (obviously, as we know). 7- In my humble opinion, the Avalanche is probably the most improved uniform this year. The design is simply gorgeous. Sans titre Sans titre Sans titre Sans titre Sans titre Sans titre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudrock512 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Real nice Av's jersey, I'm glad they went back to the mountain peaks at the hem line like in the '90's. It's a shame they didn't bring back the glacial twill for the name and numbers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Nice pics, Carl. Totally agree with your last comment. Those are a huge improvement, and I think the design works really well with the Adidas template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 My Classic Auctions prize finally arrived: The wear doesn't show up too well in the pictures but there are a bunch of stick marks and scrapes up and down both arms. The captains C was even stitched on by hand which is awesome. They even included a nice photomatch showing him sitting on the bench with the small mark on the C clear as day. What a steal this was.

mfitz804 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 99% sure I owned this previously and bought it back from the guy I sold it to. Either way, it’s one I regretted parting with so I’m glad to have it (or one like it) back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 While I have been selling and acquiring jerseys over the past few months, I haven't really posted any of them. I got this one in yesterday and have others on the way soon. Kyle Palmieri 15-16 Red Set 2 game worn jersey. He scored 7 goals and had 3 assists in this jersey. Wear is really nice for an Edge 2.0 with a whole cluster of repairs on the right sleeve and marks on the crest which I was able to photo match.

HockeyMusic Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Finally got some of these back from Keener...... 91-92 Brodeur rookie - added Custom Crafted hem stamp Now some Leafs love...kits courtesy of @TMLFAN 2015-16 Leafs home Komarov - need 2015 HHOF game patch for this guy 2014-15 Leafs home Rielly w/authentic PQ patch 2008-09 Leafs alternate Kaberle w/"ACE" patch 2008-09 Leafs alternate Steen w/Clark "17" patch 1992-93 Jets home Selanne - added Stanley Cup centennial patch 1980-81 Oilers home Coffey rookie - This was a CCM patched mesh jersey which Keener transformed into a Sandow. Love the way it came out, and Paul Coffey is also from Malton like myself! And after two years, I finally get this one back.....1984-85 Penguins road Lemieux rookie jersey - name on matching mesh nameplate. It seemed that more often than not, from the gamers I looked at, that names were on nameplates. Thanks to @blurryhaze312 for trading this to me a couple of years ago Edited December 5, 2017 by HockeyMusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
