dsl135 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Sorry if there's a thread on this already, didn't find it... Is there a difference among the Nike NHL jerseys? I have a Flyers orange that feels very jersey-like, but then I also got a white Flyers Nike that kinda feels... I dunno... softer? More silky? Odd sounding I know. Were there actually on-ice jerseys like this, with these differences? Or did I end up with a weird retail version, or one that someone had laundered WAY too much or something?

Hawks2797 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm guessing, as you mentioned, you probably got a jersey that someone used fabric softener on or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I don't know the answer to why they are different, but I have two 1996-99 Nike Flyers jerseys (an orange and a black) and they both feel the same (kind of soft, actually, but I did wash them both). Also worth mentioning is that the Nikes feel much thinner than the comparable CCMs I have; On a global scale. Like the material itself is a few mils thinner. They also have single-layer lower sleeves (the black part on the sleeve, not talking about the elbow) while every other Flyers jersey from like 1983 to 2006 has that double-layer lower sleeve. They are both retail authentics, so I don't know if the TI/GW Nikes are any different. In short, I think that the Nikes feel really cheap compared to all of my other jerseys. I also have a 1999-00 Phantoms GW (Bauer, but it's still made of Flo-Knit) and it feels just as heavy as my other CCMs. I think Nike chintzed out.
