The_Dude_Abides Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Courtesy of Fitz, 1991-1992 Devils game issued Craig Billngton with original 10th patch. Thanks buddy ? 2002 Iggy Team Canada. This could also go under "Deals and Steals"...t'was only a mere $50 shipped AND it has an original IIHF patch. Score! Keith Tkachuk Blues Vintage Series. *Question: Does anyone know if this is a possible team issued jersey? The numbers are kiss-cut, the name plate is propor but the letters are stacked. Only neck tag present is the size tag. Also, I've never seen stitching like this on the rear number...real thick zig zag on the yellow portion of the back #7. Any input would be great...I havnt been able to find any reference photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Believe it or not, that's not on-ice accurate lettering. The name is good but the numbers on that white style were single layer blue with a thin layer of vinyl or paint press that was meant to represent the middle layer. Then they just stitched over the layer to give the illusion of kiss-cut lettering. It doesn't make it any less great though. Those were flat-out gorgeous.

That's so cool that they used vynil on those kits. So is the 7 the correct font? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the last season that Custom Crafted did the Blues' jerseys, and the back number 7's had the center-weighted bottom serif. (The next season, when the Blues switched back to Liebe, the back 7's were more severely angled, and the bottom serif moved all the way to the left side, like the arm 7's on your jersey.) The only bone to pick is that the letter C is a little off; the serif on the upper right corner shouldn't be there. The top and bottom halves of the C should be mirror images of each other. That is a really awesome style of jersey though; I hope the Blues do something like that for the upcoming Winter Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what I paid for it, I can't complain. I totally agree, they need to do a throwback jersey. Blues jerseys are one of my favorite designs...they have a ton of old designs they could use to make one sick uniform next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I need to make a correction regarding the "C" being inaccurate. Perhaps the C may have been OK after all. I had seen the following blue and white gamers, and they both had the symmetrical C without the serif: But I just found these photos of a Tkachuk blue gamer, and it has the C with a serif! So who knows which is correct on the white one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilch Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I was gonna post about the C, but you beat me to it. I'm currently in the process of recreating all of the Blues lettering and am just now working on that style. Custom Crafted does not do the cleanest of lettering, when you look at the Boguniecki the C is smaller with a smaller border, I'm assuming just cut the wrong font there is also a Rycroft out there with the serif on the top of the C, so I guess it depends on who was cutting them that day. I would say it should be with the serif to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 It's amazing, the inconsistency on a jersey for which there was only one set. I didn't even notice the thin border on the C until you mentioned it; now that I look at it again it seems the C on the Weinrich looks like it may have a thin border as well, so yes, perhaps the C was intended to have a serif, like they were on the original early 80's jerseys. Just out of curiosity, was the Rycroft a white jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since it had Meigray oaperwork with it plus set tagging on the inside that i don't know i could remove.....don't want a game issued Brodeur getting out there...

The Dude is the guy who bails me out when I buy something I ought not to have, all thanks again for the assist! As far as HockeyMusic goes, I did offer (threaten?) to make the paperwork disappear so he could feel free to do whatever he wanted. But he declined. But seriously, if I felt stripping it was an option, I may have kept it and done it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I'm pretty predictable...I know. The thought crossed my mind about changing it, not gonna lie. Decided it's going to stay just the way it is. I've got a Stevens and a Brodeur rookie in the works, so there's no real need to strip the Billington. I just love this style of jersey...and it's a 54, so I can actually wear it.

Devilsguy Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 If you ever think of stripping it, please let me know as myself and about 2-3 other Devils game worn collectors would immediately pitch in to buy it to prevent that from happening. That year, whether it is GI or GW, is hard enough to find. To have it stripped would be a a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
