It’s a source of much consternation for some Devils fans, but I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amonte78 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 - LA Kings Roman Vopat Stanley Cup Playoffs 97/98 GI (jersey does have some marks, pulls and blood stains) - Pittsburgh Penguins Steve MacIntyre 2013 GI (unfortunately with only one fight strap, instead of the usual two) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little black band is supposed to be a nod to the old Newark Bulldogs who played in the Canadian American Hockey League in the 1920's. I kid you not that is the official line from the Devils Edited January 28, 2019 by Devilsguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single black stripe at the bottom, where the Bulldogs jersey had multiple black stripes, and based on the hem seam in that picture, it was gray at the bottom. That said, now I want a Bulldogs jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up the McParland (fits my collection loosely because McParland was in the Caps training camp a few years back). It was a Brendan Leipsic recycled jersey with the "A" removed. I also have a pic of McParland wearing it in a preseason AHL game. I hope I can find a Leipsic photo match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Sweet Schneider. Is it GW or GI/backup? How’s the stitching this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 It’s a backup worn. The stitching is, as Devilsguy has previously indicated, WAY better than the stitching on the one I got from last year’s set, with the exception of the HHOF patch, which is sloppily sewn in comparison. That said, very happy to have this one, and they are even nicer in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple others in passing (mostly ECHL or AHL), but as far as NHL goes, yes. Though, of course, had it only been Game Issued, it wouldn’t have impacted my decision. When I have a few moments I’m going to do a comparison of a Reebok 58G, Reebok 58+, and their Adidas counterparts. A teaser? They are not alike.

Yeah, I'm disappointed with the Adidas jerseys. I realized just how much more I liked 2.0s after getting a few of them. The Air-Knit fabric, the collar, the crest. Pretty much everything feels higher quality on the Edge 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Bob Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 It's funny how the Edge jerseys received a LOT of negative feedback compared to the 6100 style but now that the Adidas junk is out the 2.0's are looking better. I wonder what's coming next that will make the Adidas jerseys look good. Thinking about investing in tissue paper and lace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what happened for me. 6100's are still my favorite, but I have a much greater appreciation for Edge jerseys now than I did previously. I'm only bothering with the Adidas because the Devils did a re-design, and they have some good players who are only appropriate on Adidas.

So has some of the shine worn off the MiC Adidas? I thought the reviews were pretty uniformly positive back when they started to trickle out. (I still have never seen an MiC NHL in person.)
