Do you ever get your blanks customized? Very true. I will admit I wanted one, but couldn't get myself to actually buy a jersey. All of my blanks are customized.

All of my blanks are customized. Believe EPS and Brilliant did them all I couldn't not buy one. I desperately needed to update my Cubs gear as I had a few old shirts that wear dying and a World Series win seemed like just the right time to splurge on another authentic. Ill eventually source and older blank. I still don't appreciate the flex base diaper look, but I actually notice a difference between the weight of the home jersey vs the alt that I own. Maybe it's just perceived but the alt blue I have seems lighter than the home, and the home jersey's fabric also looks smoother. I wish they'd extend the stripes all the way down but it only matters from a fan perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 The FlexBase ones are strange. They remind me a little bit of the old Wilson jerseys from the 1970's and 1980's in they have the different material sewn inside the collar and placket. But the weirdest thing for me is the rounding off of the front shirt tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Majestic does all of the MLB gamers. I've bought MLB flexbase authentics from fanatics and the customization is identical to what is worn on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't let me down yet with anything I throw at him. Be it NHL, IIHF, MLB or even MLS v 1.0. The newer stuff is kiss-cut on a lot of uniforms too so it's important to know what you need. Does he have the stuff for nameplates (mainly mid 2000s)? Also how much has he quoted you on baseball stuff in general? I was quoted $90 on a players' weekend which is single layer name and number which seemed high since he quoted triple layer hockey stuff at that same price.

Brilliant! Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I don't remember what I've paid for baseball stuff. But he doesn't have nameplate material. I always have to source my own. Usually it's just cheap eBay pickups that get cut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Thrill Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Makes sense. Thanks. I'll probably just continue to use EPS then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil the Thrill Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I have a bunch of grey ones that need doing up. However, I always make sure EPS matches them first since there's like 8 different shades of Majestic grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Are they all different shades? Because I have close to about half a bolt of old grey double-knit stashed away here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I have close to about half a bolt of old grey double-knit stashed away here somewhere. No idea. But what Josh has always told me is that Majestic has a lot of inconsistencies with its grey jerseys. So even if you have two Red Sox jerseys that had nameplates (2005 to 2008 for Majestic), they could be two completely different shades and not match. So I've always just sent them straight to him to match. I think there's like 8 different overall. Bill Hendersen talks about it in Jersey Guide too. I also need some white cool base for a Rays Home. But that's harder to come by since most teams had stopped using nameplates once cool base was in full swing (I know EPS has this as well).

Brilliant! Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Grab a cheap jersey on eBay for the CoolBase one. You can get some of those for like $25 sometimes. Try this guy: https://www.ebay.com/str/ptfsports?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 He's 100% legit and sells great stuff. You might be able to snake something for cheap and then you have plates forever!

Phil the Thrill Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Doesn’t ship to Canada. The only guy from the US that I can reasonably buy baseball stuff from without inflated imported charges is OutlawSportsCompany. But it appears he’s mostly out of the baseball game. It’s fine, I’ll just wait for the next EPS Spring Sale. That way I can cover somewhat of the exchange difference lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtucker Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 so fuc***g anoyning that fanatics and Majestic always ship their $250+ jerseys in plastic bags.... to no one's surprise numbers always end up wrinkled. https://www.flickr.com/photos/151706071@N04/44756126632/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/ is it really so much trouble to use a cardboard box? ?

Brilliant! Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just iron it. A wrinkly number is not the end of the world. Majestic probably sells and packages hundreds of jerseys each day. I'm sure they don't have the time to properly fold and box each one up.

furiousd Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 This might be my favorite of some recent pickups. And I'll stop there, since I'm not sure anyone reads this thread. Just following Brilliant's orders. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Thrill Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I love the old fashion look of nameplates on baseball jersey. It's a shame only two teams still use them aside from throwbacks (Indians didn't wear them with their sans Chief Wahoo jerseys in September, so we could be down to just the Rays).

Brilliant! Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 No way, keep em coming. I'm going to have a buttload of MLB stuff in the coming weeks too so let's get to it. I love the old Rawlings jerseys. I've tried to get as many of them as I could in the last five years or so but they're hard to find in the non-weenie sizes. Usually, it's 40 and 44. That aint cutting it for me. I also love the A's unis. They've had nothing but classy stuff from Philadelphia to Kansas City to Oakland. ESPECIALLY the kelly green ones. Those are so sharp.

Phil the Thrill Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) The throwback kelly greens Oakland wear now are gorgeous. Edited October 25, 2018 by Phil the Thrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 The gold ones are awesome too. I just wish they would come up with one closer to the 70's pullover style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Thrill Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have a gold one. It's done up as Brett Anderson (in my defence he was highly touted at the time and pickings were slim). They wore these as throwbacks before. Not sure what era they were though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 The old 70's gold one is my favorite. Especially the hat. I LOVE that kelly green hat with the gold brim. It just screams Charlie O. Finley. In fact, Mickey's Place has that exact one available for 25% off if you buy it by tonight. https://www.mickeysplace.com/product/oakland-a-s-1970-1980-hat/ This place has such amazing retro hats. I already bought the black NY Giants and green 19337 Brooklyn Dodgers ones. Should I get the old AL umpire hat just like Al from Angels in the Outfield??

furiousd Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Dang, I could wear any of those A's. Love those colors. If we're talking retro stuff, I have to plug my favorite, Ebbets Field Flannels. Their caps are amazing quality, with a little less structure and a lower crown than a 5950. I've started to get into their jerseys via eBay. Here's a recent one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I know what you mean about the awkward feel of New Era's fitted hats. They never seem to fit my head properly. Not to mention that all fitted sizes don't fit my stupid head right. But they do make some of the nicest stuff around. Speaking of, I ended up buying the 1937 Dodgers hat and then the 1999 Astros one too. That logo has been a favorite of mine since they came out with it.
