JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Unfortunately having absolutely no money has hindered my jersey purchases, but I did get this gem from my girlfriend: Considering she knows almost nothing about jerseys except who I like, this is freakin' impressive. Every color is a hand cut layer. She must have gone on eBay or something to find reference pictures, since she put the vector logo on the sleeves haha, but to be honest it blew away. She even made sure to use the old style for LeClair. The Selanne is the best. She knew I liked him but forgot his name, so literally went through the ABC listings on NHL.com. Mind you Selanne begins with an S...which happens to be a later letter haha. I mean, I don't know I think it's the coolest thing anyone's done for me, and shows that jerseys have kind of become an identifying trait for me. It's also cool to see my girlfriend doing research on one of my hobbies to make it as right as she can, and also shows she has some interest in it. BTW the thing is a beast...it's a full sheet of poster board. Oh, and it totally adds up. How cool is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 That's awesome. Attention to detail with the LeClair was rather impressive. You're a lucky dude. Does she have a sister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish_eyes Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I'm jealous...Seriously... My girl still still owes me a B-day Marc Staal jersey from last year...I'd much rather this to be honest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I don't think the LeClair has a nameplate. Very cool on her part, greatest gift of all is that she supports you in this crazy and expensive hobby. Congrats on landing a keeper.
