mfitz804 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nope, they said 60 regardless. Perfect! I think you made a wise decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Its always fun to get one as a jersey collector. I still get excited when those packages show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHD28 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Yes i cant wait to get my hands on a true authentic. And not some Indonesian made one i could get any time from a store by me. What player are you going to have done for your jersey? I called them 1 hr ago and they said the exact same thing to me except the dude (I think his name was Joey) hesitated a bit when I asked about the edge plate. "Yeah, we COULD do that if you want.. I believe we might have some plates laying around..." He told me turn around time is 3 weeks. Please PM or DM me when you get your blank from RCS.

scarchelli Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Stretch mesh is just another name for the edge nameplate i assume? And airknit is the other option? Ive confused myself with the different nameplate options. LAK, from your pic of the jersey earlier in this thread, wouldnt an airknit (not edge?) nameplate match the rest of the jersey better?

LAK74 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nope. For a Hawks, the nameplate goes right on top of the jersey's back panel, which is mesh. So an Edge nameplate will be the exact same material as the back panel and will blend perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 airknit nameplate on an edge jersey. Personally, I hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I stole the photo below from JB's listing. You can see that the nameplate is made of Edge mesh, and that it's the same material as the back of the jersey, so the nameplate blends nicely with the material underneath and surrounding it. If you were to use an airknit nameplate, the material would look like the stuff in the upper part of the jersey (shoulder area), and so it would not match the underlying material. Supposedly the Hawks do sometimes use airknit plates, so for you to do so wouldn't be inaccurate. But esthetically, I much prefer the Edge mesh and if it were my jersey I would choose the mesh hands down. But you do actually have a choice here.

scarchelli Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Gotcha, i understand now. Just called csl again and this guy (different than before) said they do only airknit. So i called tts and he said he has an edge plate he can use. I doubt their customization isnt perfect considering they did the hawks stuff for years right? its $60 both places and both say 2-3 weeks turnaround.

mdwsta4 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Had CSL do up my Hawks WC jersey which they got back to me in about 2 weeks. The name plate is air-knit, not edge material which does look funky as it doesn't match, but that's how the gamers are so that's how my jersey should be customized.

Edge nameplate on the game jerseys not air-knit. You saw the picture and posted after it was posted in the winter classic thread so why are you saying the Hawks used air-knit when clearly they didn't.

scarchelli Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Haha i was about to post the same pic. I definitely am going to get an edge plate when I get mine done. It makes it look better, IMO. (Going off that pic and the one from JBs listing which LAK posted.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStu Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I had a question which is somewhat related to name plates. Recently (i.e. the past couple of seasons) have the Florida Panthers not used name plates on their jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 That name plate doesn't appear to be the same material as the back of the jersey. Could just be the angle, but to me it doesn't look the same. Edge nameplate on the game jerseys not air-knit.

scarchelli Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well does it look like your airknit? Because you said gamers are airknit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's definitely an Edge mesh nameplate in the Hawks pic. Looks just like the back jersey material to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarchelli Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yea I agree. Does your jersey look like that, mdwsta4? Obviously, it doesn't if its airknit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarchelli Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I called csl again to tell them im gonna bring by my jersey in the morning (it arrived today) and the guy i talked to was pretty rude and had no idea about stretch mesh plates, despite a guy from csl emailing me confirming they had a stretch mesh plate for me to use. So i called tts and the guy there said they can absolutely do stretch mesh for me and he was much more friendly. So tts it is tomorrow morning. 2 week turnaround time, i was told.
