akteon Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Are 2.0s available for retail yet? Or still just 1.0s? The last word on this I heard from this thread was that there was going to be a new style code 7231 this season instead of the old 7187 (for 1.0s) and 7287 (for 2.0s). The assumption was that since the All-Star jerseys were all 2.0s, that these new jerseys would be as well. This new code is for the change to the Reebok wordmark from vector on the back neck. However I think most stores will be pushing their existing stock of 1.0s first, especially for teams with no style changes for the upcoming season. So the best bet would be to keep an eye out for an authentic Edge for one of the new styles (Kings white, Panthers red, Nashville either).

Grizzly44 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I was e-mailing Chris at Triple Threat Sports making sure that they had EDGE material for a Preds jersey that I was sending them. He mentioned that they weren't restocking any of the EDGE material as the league is going back to air knit for retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 That doesn't make any sense because most 2.0 teams still use EDGE nameplates. Does that mean they're going to air-knit plates full-time regardless of team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadHat Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 The Canucks Team Store had both 1.0's and 2.0's for sale during the playoffs. There was no Reebok tagging in the neck on the 2.0's, and they only had sizes 58+ if I recall correctly. Would these maybe have been Team Issue?

NYIJM29 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Yes, those would have been team issue. The Isles put out their old home/away 2.0 team issued at the Draft Party sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned that they weren't restocking any of the EDGE material as the league is going back to air knit for retail. So when did teams use air-knit nameplates on EDGE jerseys? And when did they switch to EDGE nameplate material on EDGE jerseys? I have a Penguins EDGE and I think the nameplate material is air-knit. It's definitely NOT EDGE material. I had it customized during the summer of 2008 if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thats actually a good question. My Roloson "GI" (it was a MGG royal goal cut NNOB w/ #30 from 08-09) has an airknit plate (I had Stitches NY, the official stitcher for the Isles do it up in Jan 2010), but my other jerseys done by them, including an Okposo premier, Schremp gamer, and a Niederreiter name plate, are all EDGE material. I am picking up two jerseys from Stitches soon, so if you want, I can ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akteon Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Even on the 2.0s, the back is still Edge material - just the front and shoulders are airknit, so I don't know why they wouldn't continue to use Edge material for the nameplates unless it's a cost or supply thing.

cowboys Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 The Hawks have used EDGE nameplates all year and then during the playoffs switched over to Air Knit nameplates... This would be a good thing as it is easier to get Air Knit name plates then the Edge . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawksFanInDC Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 That doesn't make any sense because most 2.0 teams still use EDGE nameplates. Does that mean they're going to air-knit plates full-time regardless of team? While I cannot attest to what the league or teams are doing I know for certain TTS is using air knit nameplates. I got my Red Blackhawks Edge 1.0, with Sharp customization and the Stanley Cup Finals Patch in the mail last Thursday and the nameplate was airknit. Even though the team wore edge material nameplates in 2010 it seemed like a minor issue at the time so I did not ask to get it re-done. My assumption is anybody ordering from TTS will be in the same boat as me. I have a white Toews Edge with and Edge nameplate and it definately looks better up close, but if you are over 3 feet away cannot even tell.

Brilliant! Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 There are some teams who DO use air-knit plates. Off the top of my head, I know Anaheim and Colorado do. I'm sure there's more too. And frankly I don't think it would be THAT big of a deal if all teams switched to air-knit to be honest. I'd be a fan of that for sure. Air-knit is MUCH easier to find than that EDGE crap.

From the labels I've read, the material on the back of 2.0 jerseys is called "stretch mesh", but that wasn't the same material that I knew as the "Edge material" for nameplates. If I remember right, the particular material from the 1.0 jerseys that was used for nameplates was called X-trafil, though I might be wrong. There are some teams who DO use air-knit plates.

I'd be a fan of that for sure. Air-knit is MUCH easier to find than that EDGE crap. From a collector's standpoint, CCM/Reebok air-knit is definitely the way to go. Who knows how many old, beat up 550 replicas are out there for potential recycling as nameplates. Though I wonder if it's more cost-effective for teams to use air-knit as opposed to X-trafil/Edge material. (Also, the Bruins use air-knit nameplates on their 2.0s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 BruinsFan, I believe the back material on 1.0's and 2.0's are the same. I have both styles, and neither is different to me. I think it's just a wording issue on how you want to call the material. "Stretch mesh" is a descriptive way of saying what it is in layman's terms, where as if you call it "Xtrafil", the average Joe might think it sounds cool, but not know what it means.

cjerina Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Has anyone ever had experience restoring a nameplate on an Edge jersey? I picked up a nameplate that needs to be re-united with its original jersey, but not sure if I need to iron it on to get it to fit again, or if I can just sew it on right away.

mdwsta4 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I thought x-trafil was the ultrafil-like material on the shoulders/elbows on 1.0's? it's thicker and has a different look/texture/feel than the rest of the material on 1.0's. From the labels I've read, the material on the back of 2.0 jerseys is called "stretch mesh", but that wasn't the same material that I knew as the "Edge material" for nameplates.

PaulV Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ottawa uses (or used) Air Knit name plates on their 2.0 (at least the game-worn that I have from 2008-09 season). I also have a game-worn 1.0 and it uses a different material for the name plate. Not the stretch-mesh or the Xtrafil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 So from the portion I've read of this it would seem a 2.0 size 54 is similar to a 90's size 52 CCM? What are the measurement's for a size 54 2.0? I'm hoping there's gonna be a Pens one available in the Meigray sale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the sizing is closer to being the same. a 56 2.0 feels more or less just like a 56 CCM/Koho. The cut is different, but the size seems the same to me. I'll try to measure some to compare if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
