LessThanZero Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 He had nothing left to collect, all he could do was write about it. I'm glad he did. Beautiful indeed, but my question is what took longer: 1. Setting up all the jerseys to take a photo, or 2. Getting out the ladder, setting it up, then taking the photo?

mfitz804 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 He has no ladder. He's standing on a stack of folded jerseys, because he had so many he wrote a book about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverback53 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 You forgot one step: Putting the jerseys on, one by one, going through their details again, thinking: "Dang, did I just wrote a book about this? Awesome!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude_Abides Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 This arrived yesterday...not the TBTC I've been looking for, but a 96'/97' Heritage...But still a very cool piece. #90 of 1931 produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The 1931 version from 96-97 is hands-down the best jersey the Leafs have ever worn. Nothing tops it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guam64 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Some recent (and not so recent) arrivals to break up this Original 6 circlejerk:Chris Snavely MSU 2006-07 alternate jersey. Worn in the FF semi-final vs Maine when he scored on Ben Bishop.Ryan Forgaard 2011-12 Union home jersey. Much easier (and cheaper as it turns out) to get a Union gamer than an authentic. Gemini didn't put fight straps on these jerseys. Worn against Ferris State in the FF semi-final.Gregory Amlong UML 2012-13 home jersey. Can't go wrong with SP ultrafil. Worn against Yale in the FF semi-final.Riley Barber 2013-14 Miami home jersey. Unlike the UML jersey that Bauer outsourced to SP, this jersey was made in China and the quality is about beer league-level. The material is noticeably lighter than most air-knit gamers I've had. My favorite thing about it is that the piece of twill that the fight strap attaches to is completely off center. I don't even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have gone through many stages with this jersey... At first I hated it. Then I started to like it. Now it has really grown on me. I'm guessing because I love orange and I love the Mighty Ducks logo. Quack quack, boys: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude_Abides Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have to agree. I havnt seen one of these available in years. I jumped on it. Ironically, the very next day, another popped up on ebay...a blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM7392 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) The tan triangle behind the mighty ducks logo kills that whole jersey for me. I don't know what would have been better, but I think that was a really bad choice. It's a shame too, because I love the rest of it.

CJ Matthews Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm gonna sound like an idiot here but if you think of the tan on the orange jersey almost like the sand and a sunset it makes it a very California kind of jersey. Then again, what do I know? *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
