LAK74 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks to all those who replied regarding the SS jersey numbers. Looks like pretty much everyone is in favor of sticking with what is accurate- it's good to know this, and I can respect that. I already have a couple of authentics with back numbers that had been reduced in size so they would fit within the confines of my small sized jerseys. It didn't really bother me back then, and it still doesn't right now, which is why I didn't think that I would regret it later if I went with smaller sized SS sleeve numbers. Well, thankfully I'm not in a rush to make a decision any time soon, and perhaps it won't seem so bad to me later on. But for now, I'm still not crazy about the idea of putting on those huge numbers- it's kinda like Mona Lisa with Dumbo ears. Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 How is it possible that the Kings have both the best and worst alternate jerseys in the league? How?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob77ta Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hate, hate, hate those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I would love to see how those things get applied. It's hard enough getting regular-sized arm numbers to lay flat for application onto EDGE jerseys. How is THAT going to work?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarchelli Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Good lord those numbers are atrocious. I wouldn't get it customized yet and when I finally did, I wouldn't mind modified, smaller numbers because those are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 The picture I posted was a Photoshopped parody- the real numbers aren't quite that large, haha. But they're still ridiculously huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBZ Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just a thought - they're supposed to wear these again later this season - is it possible they wear another set with 'indoor' sized lettering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 They wore them twice last season without any changes in lettering, so I wouldn't assume they would do anything different this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Or at least lettering you can't see from outer space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever see starter mesh pens for a decent price pick it up, if you don't want to keep it I'll take it off your hands haha WTH, how did I miss it?!

flyhighguys94 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 They wore them twice last season without any changes in lettering, so I wouldn't assume they would do anything different this year. LAK, I thought about your situation in depth and saw the reasoning behind each position. Honestly, if it was a Flyers jersey that had such ridiculous looking sleeve numbers, I'd go with smaller sleeve numbers that will make you happy. Nobody else besides diehard collectors would even notice. At that price you gotta do what's gonna make you happy, especially (and I know it's the case) if your never going to sell it.

bobbyp6565 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 2014-2015 Jared Boll game worn jersey, Home Set 1 – jersey has a reinforced neck, custom/tightened sleeves and the 2015 All-Star game patch & “A” on the front. Worn in fight vs. Chris Thorburn. I originally pre-ordered the Road Set 1, which saw action in multiple fights and was torn in the November fight against Zac Rinaldo – figured it would have a nice Frankenstein repair to it. When that jersey arrived @ Meigray, they called to tell me it arrived in two separate pieces. The damage to it from the Rinaldo fight was even worse than I’d seen from the fight video and obviously too extensive to repair, so they ‘retired’ it. I decided to pass on it and switched to the home instead – less wear and obviously far less damage, but at least its in one piece - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr_Puck Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'm not a Blue Jackets fan but I wanted to get this pre-season gamer. D'Amigo only played a half season in Columbus before he was dealt to the Sabres organization. This fits my collection since I look for jerseys of players from upstate New York who have gone pro. And for the record, it was the jersey that arrived today. Not the cat. Edited February 4, 2015 by Dr_Puck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
