ECHL announces Marvel Super Hero Nights for 2017-18 season
 
RED BANK, N.J. - The ECHL announced on Wednesday that the 2017-18 Season will feature Marvel Super Hero themed games throughout the League's 27 Teams including specialty jerseys, character appearances, co-branded ECHL/Marvel merchandise and other in-game promotions during the designated events.
 
At a press conference broadcast from the famed comic book store Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash, representatives from the ECHL, Marvel, MeiGray Group and the AMC series Comic Book Men discussed the relationship and the excitement for the upcoming games.
 
"Marvel is thrilled to work with the ECHL to provide all of their fans and ours with a one-of-a-kind in-game experience by bringing together the power of the Marvel brand with the energy and excitement of professional hockey," said Marvel Vice President, Digital Media & Marketing Solutions, Jonathan Parkhideh.
 
Over the course of the Season, each ECHL Team will adorn a special Marvel Super Hero theme jersey featuring one of several characters including Captain America, Ironman, Thor, Hulk, or collectively as the Avengers, with the ECHL Team's own logo intertwined.  Several ECHL Marvel Super Hero Nights will feature these characters against each other with both teams wearing a specialty themed jersey.
 
"The ECHL is proud to partner with Marvel, one of Disney's most popular brands, in their first ever North American league-wide partnership," said Brian McKenna, Commissioner of the ECHL. "We would also like to thank Barry Meisel and the MeiGray Group for their participation to bring these Super Heroes to the ice by way of the specialty jerseys. The ECHL takes great pride in providing new and creative ideas to entertain our fans and expand our audience and Marvel is the ideal partner to continue this trend."
 
As part of this first-of-its-kind league-wide program, all ECHL-Marvel themed jerseys will be auctioned off to the public through The MeiGray Group at MeiGray.com. For complete details on the ECHL-Marvel Super Hero Night in the ECHL market nearest you, please see the schedule below or contact your ECHL Team directly.

For some of those teams who seemingly do specialty jerseys every 4th game, this is not a huge deal lol.

From MeiGray's Bruins rep about my request for Forsbacka-Karlsson's PS jerseys:

Quote

I was told you were asking on FB about Bruins request calls.  I started requests, but had you down for Forsbaka-Karlsson pre-season.   We will not know if we get his pre-seaosn until the end of the season.  If he comes up this year, they will most likely just pull his pre-season jersey and use it .  If he doesn’t get called up at all then we would most likely have pre-season shirts.

“Of course I (like playing with young players),” Jagr said. “Anybody compared to my age is young guy, so last 20 years I’ve played with young guys.”

Looks like someone got their hands on the real deal.

I really hope this isn't what others will charge for these.  I refuse to spend $550 on a blank and then another $50-100 to get it customized when I can get a pretty decent gamer for that price.

The Canucks said that they would be getting them. This seller is just price gouging by buying from the Canucks and trying to see how much he can get. No different than the guys who buy the MSG team store exclusive stuff and list them on times the actual cost.

I refuse to do it more than twice. That’s my opening position.

It's in CAD.  It's $438 USD.  But, still, highway robbery.  And it's damaged, to boot!

Also, sublimated shoulder patches? Eww.

I’ve been complaining steady about having Canadian made authentics available but at this price or the $400 that the Canucks store will charge It’ll be a hard no for me.  That’s just way too much to spend on an authentic i.m.h.o.

Those aren't sublimated shoulder patches. It's something called Pro Weave. They're used on the pro model Adizero soccer jerseys too. It's a very tightly knit patch that's done to reduce weight. Because all that thread really brings you down on the ice.

Here's a good example of the kind of weave the Adidas shoulder patches have. You can see the difference between the regular embroidery around the PSV logo, but the inside of the logo itself is that flat lighter weave.

Interesting. I don't see any knit, but the pic is blurry so it's hard to tell. Pretty cool.

Same with a YT vid. 

 

 

How do you make any female Flyers fan tolerable enough to listen to?

Hand her a glass of Cabernet, shave off her mustache, and have her make fun of a a Devils jersey.  

She's a keeper.

Incorrect. There is no amount of anything on Earth to improve the status of Flyers trash. Is that Spanish? Yes, it's Spanish inside a French hockey jersey. Toolbag.

I did love hearing Shook Ones Pt. II and Hypnotize in the background though.

Pretty sure that’s the kind of girl who would “entertain” both of those guys in the family restroom at the arena.
