mfitz804 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I see. I’ll be happy to confirm whether their red material is the proper made in Canada Adidas material tomorrow. If it is, I imagine the other colors are as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't the Hurricanes and Devils use the same shade of red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the chart shows that the Capitals use the same red. So that should be good enough since I believe EPS still does the Capitals.

Yes....... btw, where do the different jersey customizers get the nameplate material from? I mean, it has to be the exact same color and materiel as the jersey.

I haven't taken my "It Arrived Today" pictures yet, but I snapped this one while confirming EPS's material is correct: The R on the left is the EPS work, the middle is the jersey, the right is the old nameplate from PX. All three are identical. I can confirm also that EPS's Devils font is in fact a slight bit wider than what PX is using. The nameplate used is also a bit taller, the PX ones are so narrow that when the nameplates are sewn on, they are sometimes sewing them right through the edge of the letters. The numbers, however, are the exact size of the PX ones, which are smaller than what EPS had been doing. Those who are that concerned about accuracy should note these differences. Its not a big enough difference for me to accept the poor sewing job I have seen on the PX Devils gamers. I feel like the EPS version corrects what is wrong with the PX version, sacrificing a small amount of accuracy in the process. The picture below shows an EPS R on the left and a PX R (complete with loose threads and letters too close to the edges of the nameplate) on the right. It was the only letter the two jerseys in question had in common. Edited April 20, 2018 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Nice pics. That's a great example of having to choose quality over accuracy. I have a couple that are as accurate as they can get, but I still hate the kits because they're so poorly done compared to a Keener or EPS job.

I'll admit, being lazy and used to dealing with EPS also played a role. But overall I am very satisfied with it and happy that I have the new style, Made in Canada.

During non sale times, you can usually ask for the sale price (by looking up the terms of the last one) and get it. BUT, the sale never applies to the current year’s jerseys, so I was stuck.

tomtucker Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) what garbage..... philly express indeed, yeah, they sure are in a hurry to sew that crap together. now why the fu** would the devils pick such a sh!tty customizer? guess everyone that has something to say about jerseys in the NJ organization are now morons, hence the jersey design change as well.

tomtucker Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 speaking of garbage, why do the flyers still have those mismatching nameplates..... and the overlapping sleeve numbers. is it the whole "it's so ugly it's cool thing" ?

jsh139 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I have a bunch of Philly Express jerseys and not one has a defect as glaring as what MFitz posted. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the team switched customizers late in the off season and PX had to scramble to get them done quickly. As for the nameplate color contrast, I don’t know for sure, but NHL Uniforms says it’s modeled after the 70s uniforms when the color (road) jerseys needed nameplates for televised games.

Maybe they are just Flyers fans so they didn’t care. I actually don’t mind the contrasting nameplates, something different isn’t necessarily bad. Not that I’d want the Devils to do it, of course.
