Hey BB12... I believe the frame is 48"x50.5" if I recall correctly. I got the idea when the wife was watching a documentary on the old Spelling Mansion and Aaron Spelling had a Willie Mays jersey framed that way.
I bought some matting, and 2 lots of 100+ Lindros cards. I kept all the Flyers, Team Canada, Oshawa Generals and All-Star cards. I even have an Eric Lindros Toronto Blue Jays card in there as well. After I glued each one on the matting I had used 128 different Eric Lindros cards... no repeats! I love it and when I get my Gagne Jersey back from Dynasty Sports (2002-2007 KOHO), I may do the same to it when I have some time.
Those never materialized?
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers were part of the same 1967 expansion as the Kings so they too will be celebrating a half-century next season. And wouldn't you know they also have a "special edition" jersey on the way, according to Reebok.
If it's tough to pin down an old Kings jersey we haven't seen in a while, it's practically impossible for Philadelphia. However, from 1982 to 2007, the Flyers wore a very distinctive jersey design. The interesting thing is that it was nearly the same template as that Kings jersey from the 1980s.
Take a look at these designs as rendered by Andrew Greenstein at NHLUniforms.com.
Reebok has already made this type of template work in the AHL (Phantoms) and WHL (Broncos) so it would certainly make sense to carry it over for these throwbacks.
Those never materialized?
Oh i dont know, i just know i didnt jump on board.
How much is a regular jersey? Really want one but I'm pretty sure they're like over $100
Hadn't seen this discussed anywhere so I figured I'd throw it in here. 50th anniversary jersey coming next year.

Any guesses? I'd be pumped to see those jerseys remade, maybe the black ones from that era.

Really good service and the jerseys are all real. (well, 99.9% of them, I have seen the occasional one that was a fake, but not on purpose)
Just make sure the customisation on the photos is done ok... some the twill is too long and I have seen one or two with incorrect typeset on numbers.
Most of the jerseys (and the cheapest ones ofc, like can be around $40 dollars) are seemingly old surplus (Richards, Carter, Briere, Hartnell, Leino, Biron, Gagne, Talbot, Coburn, van Riemsdyk Pronger etc) but they have Giroux, Simmonds and Voracek ones in right now for ~$100 dollars before postage.
Thanks for the link. I didn't know what I wanted for Christmas until now. Got the wife to order me a black Gagne fo $40!
I know this is the jersey thread, but does anyone know where to find reliable decently cheap flyers t shirts? The shop nhl.com player tees are $40, plus shipping which seems a little excessive.
As long as the website is reliable and the product will actually show up. I live in Canada, just to keep in mind.
Thanks
I've been browsing and searching through this thread for a few days now. Figured it might just be easier to ask. I live in Utah and have a blank Edge 1.0. Looking to get it customized. What is the best place to send the jersey? Looking for quick turn around and best possible product. I was going to go through Ice Jerseys but realized its in Canada and would rather ship my jersey in the U.S. to make things easier.
Not necessarily the fastest turnaround, but the Skate Zone in Voorhees will give you the best possible product. It can take some time though.
I don't believe they do mail orders... but I imagine they can work something out as a courtesy. And, yes, if time is of the essence, you better go elsewhere jersey turnaround procedures are an afterthought with them... But the end product is the exact same as what the Flyers wear on the ice... I only use them -- drop off/pickup -- and forget about the time factor, as they never notify me when it is sitting there to pick up... I check on them once in a while to find out. haha
I have sent them jerseys and they have sent them back to me, so they have done it in the past. I agree, you need to call them to check if it is completed.
