OT: All Jersey Talk (Game Worn, Replica, Authentic, etc.) Part VI

[devsman84]

Overall, the Heritage jerseys are fine. Year the collar is a bit jarring, but that's what happens when you put an old design on a new template. That part was unfortunately victim to that circumstance.

The Devils old school design they wore changed over the 10 years it was worn. Compare the thickness in the white part of the shoulder yoke they wore from 82-84 to what they looked like in 91-92. They changed fonts as well in the late 80's to a chunkier, blockier font (the previous font they used up until then was the same exact font as the Rangers just minus the drop shadow). The design for the Heritage jerseys more closely resemble what they wore at the end. Again, it can't be perfect because it's an old design on a new template, but I think it is pretty close.

Oh good, more complaining

Heritage design is pretty nice. Collar is a little weird, but otherwise they look solid.

Still absolutely hate the current home jerseys though. Just purchased another Reebok. I loathed the Adidas re-design from the start, but thought I'd get used to it. Nope, it sucks in comparison.

 

[BenedictGomez]

The Reebok jerseys were cartoonishly awful too.

Fanatics is selling our CCM's/Koho's/RBK's now as heritage jerseys as well. Doesn't seem to be a ADIDAS version.

I saw those last month. Pretty funny considering you can get a blank replica of that style by either CCM or Koho for about $30-60 on ebay on just about any given day.

ah, yeah, back on our “every jersey we’ve had since 2007 blows” shit.

i respectfully disagree.

Not "we", everyone. Jerseys used to be made out of solid, quality material.

Wear them vs the Rags?

Not smart by business ops

I like the green collar. We are all different. Ordering one today.

12/23 vs Cbj, first Heritage Game

 

[Davegarri]

Do they not include fight straps on authentic jerseys anymore?

No, they do. My Adidas authentic has a fight strap.

The only differences I gather from fan authentics and what the players wear on the ice are the presence of the Adidas hologram on the bottom front and the lack of double-elbows.

It goes further than that. The material of the jersey is completely different, the fight strap is a different type (with more reinforcement) and overall better construction.

Can't find any tweets from the CEO of the Devils and Pru Center on the Heritage jerseys.

Cool, the pictures online didn't seem to show it so I wasn't sure.

Thanks!

see @devsman84’s last post.

I guess he’s right but honestly none of those are an issue for me. Considering authentics are half what Reebok authentics used to cost I can live with all of that. I genuinely feel like I got what I paid for, but that’s just me.

 

[MadDevil]

On the collars, there was somebody who does a blog on uniforms on Puck Soup saying he thinks some teams might tweak theirs next year (most notably Chicago and their toilet bowl collar).
