dsl135 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Ok, so for a very long time, I've wanted one of these Phantoms jerseys. Recently, I did a bit more research, and these jerseys were made by SP, not Bauer or Reebok. So I e-mailed the company to see if this blank jersey could still be made. They said it can, but I have to order through a retailer, and that the minimum order for custom jerseys like this would be 12. So, I'm going to try to do what I did with the Gostisbehere Union jersey order, but hopefully with a better end result. I don't have exact pricing yet, but based on other blank SP jerseys that I'm seeing around the interwebs, I think the jerseys themselves will likely be around $40-50 blank (these will be pro-style authentic jerseys). So for this project to work to the fullest accuracy, we need the following: - Jerseys from SP (I'm working with a retailer to find out pricing) - Phantoms crest logos (have not been able to find these online... if anyone has any ideas for these, let me know, they're obviously integral) - AHL oval patches for below the neckline (haven't found these either) - AHL circle patches for the back hem (found repro's of these, but not sure if I have sourced 12 yet) - Wendy's sponsorship patch (I have an e-mail in to Wendy's to see about this) - Customization (I believe it would've been done by Ruberti's, who we can work with for the whole order, if people want names/numbers) BEST GUESS ON TOTAL PRICE: $150-200 for a complete, customized 2005 Phantoms purple jersey Obviously this is all pending price, but I wanted to see what the interest level is. So I'm going to keep this post updated with pricing info, and start an interest list. Feel free to invite others into this order. INTEREST LIST: 1. dsl135 2. Flyers845 3. FlyersFan376 4. ted1025 5. cowboys 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Edited July 9, 2015 by dsl135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsl135 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Update on the Wendy's patch: Originally, they had said that everything for the old logo is discontinued but that they could look into getting us the rights to have patches made with the current logo on them. I explained that we were really only interested in the old logo, and if the company they went through originally still had the files, then we would like the rights for those. Got a response this morning that they have contacted that company, and they still have the logo patch on file. They're looking into if they can be re-made for us and will let us know. So we may have tracked that down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted1025 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Nice bit of news. You could maybe post this over on the HF Flyers board to try to grab more interest. IIRC there were some members over there that wanted in on the Ghost jersey order but aren't members here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Good call. I just posted it over there. I remember we had at least a few people from there that were in on the Ghost order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersFan376 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Where in the world do you even find the people to talk to about a Wendy's patch? I wouldn't even know where to begin lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also tracked down a Team Ferior patch for my Adirondack Phantoms project. Edited July 10, 2015 by dsl135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Spread the word guys... if we don't get at least 12 people interested, then this isn't gonna go forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted1025 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Spread the word guys... if we don't get at least 12 people interested, then this isn't gonna go forward. Honestly this is my fear above all the other things that would need to happen for this. I have a gut feeling we won't find 12 people interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 So, we'll see how this comes out. But I'm in contact with an embroidery place that can make the Phantoms logo, but not EXACT like the old ones. Rather than being a single layer of twill with all of the details/colors being stitching, it would be a multiple layer twill logo (and would not have the fade in the color of the eyes). It sounds like they're going to make a sample and let us decide off of that but it's at least an option (considering before this I had no options for the Phantoms logo).

FlyersFan376 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 With only 5 people it may be a moot point Still, i'm interested to see how their test crest turns out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yea, me too. But yea, I agree. One possible option if we don't get 12 people. We may still need to order 12 jerseys, but could sell off the extra blanks (or people could take blanks for random ice hockey practice jerseys or something). Meaning we would then only order 6 logos or whatever and 12 blank jerseys. So we would build those jerseys into the cost and all split it, and then I could basically refund people money if we sell them on eBay as blanks or something. I'm guessing the blank jerseys are going to be around $40 each, so if we're going to have 6 people, basically everyone would pay for 2 blanks. It really all depends on how the costs are going to add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersFan376 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing to have to do Hell, i'm crazy enough i may even spring for 2 complete jerseys! Just wish i could go back and steal one of those Ghost jerseys they teased us with... bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsl135 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have mine. It became part of my patch collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ok, I think I'm pretty much at a point where it won't matter what this company can do with the logo. The price for the blank jerseys is going to be $99 per jersey, and that's before the logos, AHL patches, Wendy's patch, or customization. I'm thinking this is going to be too pricey, since we don't have 12 people interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catofadiferntskn Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I've read this post several times and forgot about it. Add me in but it looks like it has stalled. Any updates on the logo? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not moving forward with the order. Wasn't enough interest and we couldn't get the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
