Who did the customization?

JB has a guy who only does his Rangers stuff. He sent it to that guy but I didn't ask who, I sent JB what it should look like and it turned out alright.

Mail Day! Too bad the flow is done for the season, but I'll be the best looking MFer at the game March 31.

Where are people finding these UND jerseys?!

I got my Reebok Authentic off eBay for $100 brand new on yesterday’s sale.

I was looking for months and could never find anything outside the Sioux Shop. They carry Reebok (stock getting lower I'm sure) and the new CCM authentics, but they are full price. If you're in Canada, they do use UPS to ship, who do have brokerage fees that increase with the value of your item (I used Worldwide Expedited, which includes the brokerage, and shipped direct from EPS last week) and you will get nailed on duty by the CBSA.

The North Dakota stuff always looks good but I still miss the old logo.

I FINALLY got my Classic Auctions haul today after being held up in customs for almost two friggin weeks.

First, Gary Suter's 1987 Canada Cup blue jersey (strange that the US team didn't wear the patch):

Next, a Brent Bilodeau from the 1992 World Juniors with a hand-stitched A on the chest:

Finally...and the one I was shocked I ended up winning...Jamie Langenbrunner's captains jersey from the Vancouver Olympics:

2v2JAV3s5x2YANR.jpg

This one is the perfect example of why you shouldn't drink and bid. While out at the only bar in the area open at 7am to watch the USA-Russia game last month, I was literally drunk-pressured into bidding on this thing. "I'll never win it in the end", I said afterwards. Famous last words. It's cool though because I got a pretty good deal for all three.

Had the Komarov idea in the making for a while, he scored twice in this game too. I went for Tucker on the St Pats as I have a Marner in the recent St. Pats and I thought the two 16's would look cool together.

I apologize if I wasn't supposed to use links.  I couldn't find the appropriate way to just upload the photos to the thread.

I got my Ekman-Larsson Coyotes Throwback back from Artcraft today.  I want to get your opinions because I'm honestly not satisfied with the work they did.

My biggest concern is regarding the letters.  They look blatantly crooked to me, especially those of "LARSSON."  The "O" and "N" at the end seem to be lower than the rest, as well.  Another concern is that the hyphen looks really uneven.  One side is rounded and the other looks pointed.

The other issue I have is that the numbers came back with about two slight imprints on the back "2".  I hope there's a way to get rid of this. Last, I sent the jersey in with tags and it came back with none.

This is the second time getting it back.  The first time they put a nameplate on it when there shouldn't have been.  All in all I've been waiting patiently for this one and I feel disappointed again.  I'm not sure where to go from here.

I don't necessarily know what you should do because I am not familiar with that customizer or their procedures, but unfortunately I agree with you and I would not be satisfied at all with that job.

The name looks good to me.  In fact, I like a tiny little bit of imperfection here and there.  Gives it a more human feel.  Looks like the twill was cut by hand, which is more personal, I think.  Check out this OEL gamer.  It's a little crooked, too.

The imprint, on the other hand, I would not be ok with.  I guess you could try to give it a little steam (cover it with a t-shirt first) and see if it comes out?  If not, I dunno, man.  I might send it back....again.

At least I know it's not just me being picky!

It seems to me the lettering including the hyphen are definitely incorrect.  The imprints I can probably get out somehow and there's nothing I can do about the tags, although I was planning on taking them off anyway at some point so it doesn't matter much.

You're right on the crooked part and I know even the gamers aren't going to be flawless.  I see what you mean looking at that photo.

The "O" and "N" being up a bit too high is probably the most noticeable thing to me. That's what I might need to get fixed.

That imprint in the 2 looks like a letter somehow got pressed on there....... how does that happen

Or a number...but definitely not the font that’s in the jersey. Not nice, I’d be pissed. 

Not saying you want to put more money into it, but moving those two letters and replacing the twill on that number could probably be accomplished with another customizer with better results.

Love the LTD. edition St. Pats.  Recently picked up one myself.

I liked the ones they wore last year but this was the style I wanted to see make a comeback during the 100th anniversary. With those God-awful brown pads too!

Turned a neglected ebay Amonte into a Dougie Gilmour. It's great how these old jerseys respond to a little scrubbing and clean up, you'd never know it had been previously customized. Thanks to TMLFAN for talking me into making it a Gilmour.
