Brilliant! Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I tried getting the thickest gauge needle I could find and even lubed it up with Sewer's Aide. MLB uses them too now which pisses me off. I tried putting on a Player's Weekend patch onto a Yankees jersey and almost broke the needle in the machine.

NYIJM29 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) I dont think the Stars' 25th patch is sewn. Edit: They aren't and neither is the NHL shield Edited May 10, 2019 by NYIJM29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a tough decision to make. I'm kind of surprised that they still choose not to do it since that season has come and gone.

Maybe they don’t want to spend time on it. I mean, they take like 18 months to customize a jersey, now you want them to emboss the numbers? Order the jersey now, your Estate receives delivery 5 years after your death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I seriously the only one who got an order back from Bobcat in a timely manner? I read all of the horror stories about them taking forever and sent off three jerseys to them anyway. I got them back five months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never used them, I’ve just heard the horror stories. 5 months isn’t bad I guess, slightly longer than EPS. To the extent that waiting 5 months to do a job that takes one day is “a timely manner”, your experience was not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkash48 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Just go to Keener in the first place - done right - done timely and priced right. Unless it’s something he can’t do, why mess around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason #1...why would I go to Keener rather than the team that did the official customizing? Most of what i do are Devils jerseys, so I go to the source. True, they no longer are, and there was a time in the past that they were not, but for the most part, I go to the source. Reason #2...why ship things to Canada and pay extra money to do so? Reason #3...as discussed in other threads, I have e-mailed Keener about work and never received a response. That doesn't instill confidence, and I don't like to chase people down by phone. Reason #4...with all of the above considered, plus the fact that I already own plenty of jerseys, I don't NEED my jerseys back any faster than what EPS provides.

TheKevinShow Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Well, reason 2 is no longer an issue since Keener now has a US address that can be shipped to. I agree with reason 1, though. I've used Keener before because I don't want to go through a customizer that is exceptionally hard to get a hold of and only takes money orders (Custom Crafted) but when possible I'd prefer to go to the direct source.

When it comes to Kings jerseys, nobody, not even Keener has the exact fonts, so if you want it exact, you need to go to Bobcat no matter how long it takes. I’m certainly not happy about this, but I’ve been waiting almost 2 years for one of my jerseys to get done, and over a year on 4 others.

JJM4 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Here's some Friday night viewing for you, 4 jerseys I got back from Keener earlier this week. Goldsworthy North Stars 75-76 remake size 56. This would be his final season with the North Stars and the only season he wore the C. His number is retired in the Minnesota/Dallas franchise. Added the Rawlings tag and swapped out a 2 lace fight strap to the period specific one pictured below. Kariya Ducks 96-97 size 52. This would be the first year he got the C, and the only Nike ultrafil jersey in the history of the NHL. Only 6 teams ever wore Nike jerseys but all of them wore the common Nike flo knit. Only for 96-97 did the Ducks wear ultrafil, 97-99 was flo knit. Palffy Pens 2005-06 size 52. This would be his final season in the NHL. It's a patched over Koho, which is what he actually wore that season. Done with the proper kiss-cut customization. Casey Worcester Ice Cats 96-97 size 52. He only played 4 games there that season, but they're such cool jerseys I'm happy to have both home and road in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKevinShow Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Team-issued Panthers scored for very cheap on eBay. I'll probably be picking up the white jersey later if they keep it at the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
