What kind of material is this?

This is my Thrashers 03-04 alternate replica, and this material is definitely not the standard replica airknit.

While I don't have an example to look at in person, photographs lead me to believe that the same material was used for the Predators' Koho/pre-Edge alternate, as the material for an authentic on eBay looks very similar, so it follows that the replica would be the same. So, what am I looking at here? Also, since I'm sure you're all aware that I send all of my replicas to them, is it a material that EPS has available?

It's a mesh.  I don't know whether EPS would have any; you'd have to ask them.  I do know that Bobcat has some of the blue pro mesh available.

Does anybody know, which material was used for the 2003 All-Star Game jerseys? The jersey is airknit, but the nameplate on this Heatley gamer doesn't look like airknit. Maybe somebody of you has/had a gamer or an authentic with correct customization! Thanks

Looks like the same material as the 2002, which are sublimated (they weren't white) air knit. Nameplate would be the same material I thought, but I see what you're saying. It may just appear different because it's white, kind of translucent, and it's two pieces (jersey and plate) on top of each other.

Best picture I've seen of this model jersey is not conclusive, but it looks like an air-knit plate to me:

If it's the same as 2092 like I suspect, I own a game issued and it's the same material as the jersey, in that case Airknit (blue sublimated). 

Cant see why it'd be any different, all they changed were the colors.
