Brilliant!

Thanks for posting that Wolf Pack, Matt. Besides being a nice jersey, it's also helped me solve a problem I was having duplicating a Manchester Monarchs font- until now I hadn't realized the two teams used the same font, at least for a few seasons. I found a bunch of Wolf Pack gamer images and now I have what I need to get my Monarchs kit done!

Nice Matteau! IMO he'll always be up there on the list of important Blueshirts (not all-time greats but better than "noteworthy"). As a friendly reminder, his claim-to-fame OT winner was his second in that series. Now that's a great late-season pickup!

Duane, first off, I missed out on that Sandstrom you posted on the previous page (just saw it today). It's a beaut. I always liked him as a player. Grats.

Secondly, you're correct that the Monarchs have used it. I believe Hershey did at one point as well. There are slight variations but they are from the same designer. I've been searching for a couple of years to find out the name of the font and no one knows. EPS can do it, as can Keener, but I think they just based it off photos from gamers so they aren't 100% exact. The old Wolf Pack webmaster/photographer (and famous jersey collector) Caldercup2000 said even he couldn't ever get an answer on the font when he worked for the team.

I finally decided to contact the Monarchs directly since they used it most recently. Their Merchandising Manager was surprised to find out it wasn't unique to their team and eventually put me in contact with the designer himself. He told me he's never given the exact font out to anyone but the teams he's worked for, but that he could take care of properly customizing any jersey with his fonts. I never followed up with him. I'll do some digging for his e-mail and send it to you in a PM.

Akteon, first of all, thanks regarding the Sandstrom- I kinda like it myself!

Also thanks for the info regarding the Wolf Pack/Monarchs font. I had a kit done up through Cutting Edge (I know for a fact they were the Monarchs' customizer around that time but they later said they weren't for the year in question- must have missed it by just one year) and it came out inaccurate in many respects. I've been trying to find good detailed pics of Monarchs alternate gamers from 2008-09, but there's surprisingly little to be found. There are a lot of photos of Wolf Pack gamers from the mid-2000's, and the font seems to be the same as the Monarchs alternate jersey font except for the curved letters on the nameplate. I was just about to e-mail Cutting Edge about redoing the kit, but I'll hold off for now. Thanks again!

Btw, was it Amanda at the Monarchs Pro Shop that you contacted?

Forgot to throw this up with the last batch I posted. This will be a tribute jersey of sorts to one of my most memorible Leafs moments. Will need a 65th anniversary patch to finish it so if anyone has a legit patch available please msg me.

1998-99 Greg deVries Colorado Avalanche home playoff issue sweater set IV …. LOA from Avs' equipment manager.

I am very excited to add this one to my collection.. Great sweater with the very rare Columbine High School memorial patch.. The CHS patch was only on the Avalanche playoffs jerseys that year and never made available to the public.. As Super the Great Jay stated, the Columbine patch is really more embroidered on the left sleeve and not really a patch...

LOL! Jay should get a kick out of that. I'll always defer to Jay's expertise. His collection is way more extensive than mine, as is his knowledge of avs jerseys. But I'll take being mistaken for him as a compliment. :lol:

Awesome jersey! Love the CHS patch, rather the CHS embroidery. One of what, 46 made? That's awesome! Great pickup. And I love the lighting for your pics. Makes the mesh look even shinier.

I got this Mighty Ducks jersey in a local trade. It had an autograph on the front which came out pretty clean after a few tries of using different Chemicals.

Thanks man. I like the Ducks pickup!

Lettering was done by Cutting Edge, they used to do the gamers so it was definitely worth the wait!
