I'm no expert on Premiers, but all the ones I've seen have the vector embroidered directly into the Premier fabric, which is not the same material as the legit Edge vector patch. You'd literally have to cut a hole in the Premier to remove the vector, which isn't a patch. Interesting. I’ve been told otherwise. Oh well, I’ll probably just buy the patch by itself. It’ll be cheaper that way. Also, my latest arrival: Got it as an OBO $50 plus I had $15 in eBay Bucks. It’s a factory-customized Trent Hunter so it’s going to be stripped. Sadly, it’s another three-layer with all three stitched directly to the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, looking at those globs of stitches on the nameplate letters reminds me of a factory-lettered job I just finished 2 weeks ago. Took forever to cut through all those stitches. Plus, in addition to each of three layers being individually stitched directly to the jersey, I had to deal with three additional rows of straight stitching on each character! You can’t just run the seam ripper through those like on zigzag stitches. Looked like this: Took me around an hour and a half to remove each number! Worst stripping job I’ve ever had; hope yours isn’t as much trouble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKevinShow Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Most of that around the letters is the leftover paper backing. It's standard zig-zag stitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Yeah, but if the thread is really thin like on mine, it's tough to cut through a ball of stitches with threads that thin. The letter might just cling to the jersey by the corner until you cut through every last thread. I ended up tearing a couple of small holes in the fabric because of that. Again, I hope your threads are thicker and easier to remove... EDIT: Whoops, I misunderstood what you meant about the paper backing- if that white stuff is paper and not threads, then you'll be fine. Just ignore what I said above! ☺️ Edited January 22, 2019 by LAK74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's unfortunate that they would stitch the letters through both the nameplate and jersey. Would have made your task easier if they hadn't done that. I still hope that mess at the bottom of the T is just paper and not the machine running the threads over and over in the same place. And it looks like you might possibly have some straight stitching to remove from the nameplate edges as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 It is paper. The good news is that, while it will be a daunting and time consuming strip job, everything will almost certainly fall right off. The machine-stitched stuff is rarely sealed well.

I've done several of these and they strip cleanly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJM4 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) 1999-2000 Bourque Pro Player size 52 - I needed a Bourque in the collection and knew a rookie would be tough to find and the cost could get a little crazy so I went for a somewhat rare pro player 3rd jersey from Bourque's final season in Boston. I've owned the Starter version of this jersey and have to say I much prefer the pro player flo knit. Thanks @cowboys for making this available.

tbart Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Love that 1985-86 Stevens and the 1999-00 Bourque. Nice pickups Spudrock512 and JJM4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKevinShow Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Alright, so the Isles stripped cleanly. It was a quick removal (relatively speaking) since it wasn't a double digit number. The imprints from the numbers/name/plate are still there but the jersey is ~15 years old so that stuff has been on there for a while. Running it through the wash should help.

He did an interview that was filmed, I believe, at his parents house and they had it hung up on the wall with a bunch of other Jerseys. I also know Matthews has his St Pats and Centennial Jerseys so it's safe to assume a lot of, if not all, the players kept one for themselves.

The NHLPA gets the warmups, NHL Auctions get the 1st, and each team's GW program gets the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
