OT: All Jersey Talk (authentic, game worn, replica, etc) - part VII

Shoulders count for each shoulder just like each sleeve counts. The shoulder stripes don’t touch across the back.

So it’s 5+5+5+5+1

I thought the five shoulder stripes were for the five retired players?

I wonder if the shop.nhl.com jerseys are heat pressed or stitched .....
Not sure I want to risk it.

 

[devilsblood]

Seeing the jerseys in person and they were better then seeing them on line. The jersey itself I do like, the Jersey, not so much, but maybe it will grow on me as a cheese element.

Oh shit. So far shop.nhl is the only place I know of where I can buy the jersey. (I live in Canada) . That would kinda suck to get the heat pressed on numbers vs. the stitched ones . What places sell the stitched for sure ?

I also find it weird that for a company who wants to make money off these things that they never produced anymore. Someone on njdevs posted a picture of an entire wall of PK 3rd jerseys yet they never made more of those retros that a lot of people seem to like. I'm not big on the green so I never bothered even trying to get one.

Picture for reference and I don't even get why they made so many PK ones, especially with him being a UFA after this season. Do they really think these are all gonna sell? Apparently he was the only name available, not Nico, Hughes, Hamilton, etc. Definitely an odd choice...

Put the Subban out now as the only one available. The "need to have the latest" will buy them just to have the latest. Put it out along with the other players and there will be a ton of Subbans that go unsold. MO.

Doesn't seem like a wise business decision to me when you could just put Hughes, Nico and Hamilton and most likely sell more overall but what do I know lol

Any idea if they have to make a certain number of veteran players jerseys available? Normally I don’t see half the team available online so it kindve baffles me that he would be the first and only one ready right now.

I thought I saw a huge rack of Hughes alternates at The Rock Wednesday?

Anyone besides you I’ve seen post said it was all Subbans. Nhl Shop only has Subban ready to ship and shows Nico and Hughes as “will ship by January 2022” lol

 

[My3Sons]

Maybe they thought Subban would draw interest from fans of other teams and sell more broadly as opposed to guys like Hischier and Hughes who won’t sell as well beyond the local fan base?

 

[Eggtimer]

Any Black Friday sales on the black Jersey jerseys ?
I’m still trying to find a place I can buy it from in Canada and not have to wait months upon months for it pjs make sure it has the stitched on numbers instead of heat pressed .

why so many subbans?! thats insane

 

[Eggtimer]

Who the hell do I call to see what the quickest way to order a jersey would be if you live in Canada ? I can only find one place so far on Canadian sites where I can order and it says it will ship “before January 22” . I can go on US sites but I’m scared it would take even longer to get here even though it ships earlier. That and the shipping cost is almost as much as a jersey

 

[Eggtimer]

Give it a year and they will be trying to give them away for next to nothing . No way they sell that many. Why would they do that while knowing he might not be on the team next year? They will be stuck with a ton of them. Why not make a ton of a player that will be here for a long ass time like Hamilton , Hughes , Nico ?
It will be like the Taylor Hall and Butcher jerseys they are trying to give away for dirt cheap right now.

I guess it could be like what someone already posted , they know they won’t have trouble selling Nico and Hughes ones so they made a bunch of Subbans first , hoping that people in a panic to have one right away buy one regardless who is on the jersey?

Also, Subban has a deal with Addidas so maybe that was part of the deal or Addidas wants to maximize the exposure of Subban because he is signed with them ? I don’t know.

How many drinks did I have then

 

[Call Me Al]

subban has a sponsorship deal with adidas it doesn’t surprise me but does seem like a bad money-making decision considering the popularity or other players

Yes ! they are pretty deadly . I’ve only had it when I’m shitfaced or hungover though, I am more of a Boogie’s Burger fan.

What happens if our retro curse extends to this and we go like 1-12 in the ‘Jersey’ games?

[Tao Jersey Jones]

"Jersey" as a nickname for New Jersey is an oddity: there's no corresponding clipping of "New York" to "York," "New Hampshire" to "Hampshire," and certainly not "New Mexico" to "Mexico." Some have complained that the use of "Jersey" is "demeaning" to the state. David Lavery, author of "This Thing of Ours: Investigating the Sopranos," agrees: plain old "Jersey," with its "familiar and slangy" feel, "does not elicit respect."

Those who dislike the "Jersey" label may be surprised to discover that it has a distinguished historical pedigree. I asked Maxine N. Lurie, professor of history at Seton Hall University and co-editor of the Encyclopedia of New Jersey, about the usage, and she traced its origins to the end of the 17th century, when there were actually two "Jerseys": the provinces of East and West Jersey, dividing the territory of New Jersey along a diagonal. (New Jersey was named in honor of the proprietor of East Jersey, George Carteret, who hailed from the Island of Jersey.)

Because of this split, it was common to talk of "the Jerseys," even after the provinces were united in 1702. Lurie suspects it was "easier to refer to the 'Jerseys' and people from 'Jersey' than to say 'East New Jersey' and 'West New Jersey.'" The historical record bears this out: 18th-century documents are peppered with mentions of "the Jerseys," and colonial accounts from 1735 and 1746 refer simply to "the province of Jersey."

---

That only makes the "Jersey" legacy even more peculiar to the state. As a born-and-bred Jersey boy, I embrace this idiosyncratic heritage. Sure, "Jersey" (or, God forbid, "Joisey") can be used derisively at times, but Jersey-bashing won't suddenly disappear just because people use the state's full name. Better to revel in the timeless lyric of Bruce Springsteen, "My machine she's a dud, out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey."

Or, and here's an idea - don't make so many Subban jerseys.
