I'm wanting to get an Elias Christmas tree jersey but have a couple of questions.
Do any reputable sellers sell the Reebok premier Christmas tree jerseys? I've checked the usual (icejerseys, coolhockey, river city, sportsk) but didn't see any.
Did Patty ever wear a CCM Christmas Tree vintage?
Reebok never released a replica/Premier version of the retro jerseys for the Devils. The "official" replica of it is the CCM Team Classics line that you see for sale on NHL.com, in the Devils Den, etc. There is also the CCM Vintage line that is the same cut as the Team Classics line, but the difference is that the logo doesn't have the wing overlap issue and the cut is not as long and therefore more in line with what the Devils wore from 82-92. I actually prefer the CCM Vintage line over the Team Classics line. Sportsk has the CCM Vintage line on their website.
To get an Elias Reebok Devils retro jersey you could either do one of 2 things:
1) Buy a blank authentic Edge 2.0 from Jersey Baron on eBay (Jerseybaron_com) and send it to EPS to get it lettered. This is the exact jersey the Devils wear on the ice and is made in Canada. JB has them listed for $299.99 but if you deal with him off of eBay he usually gives you a little bit of a discount (~10%). All in with the EPS customization you are looking at about $350 if he gives you a discount.
2) Go to Meigray and buy a 2010 retro night game issued jersey. For the first retro night in 2010 the Devils had 4 sets made up for the entire team as the original plan was for the Devils to wear a new set every period and another set worn only during warmups. However, Lou made them wear only 1 set for the entire game and warmups so 3 sets went unused. Meigray started selling these 3 sets last year starting at $195 for scrubs. Most have been sold but you could still get say a Zharkov or Salmela for $195 and then have EPS strip and replace with Elias. Strip might leave some residue on the jersey, but would be cheaper than option #1.
There are no Indo's made for these. For some reason back in 2010 Reebok did make a very limited quantity of Edge 1.0 retail authentics for sale in stores like Hockey Monkey. I had 2 of those at one point (a Brodeur and an Elias) but have since sold them. I see the retail Edge 1.0's on Ebay once in a while so that is potentially a 3rd option.
