OT: Official Jersey and Merch Thread III

[jhutter]

They never showed a Stutzle jersey on their site

They clearly advertised “Looking for a STUETZLE 88? We’ve got you covered.”

 

[NyQuil]

Makes you wonder a little bit about the number 88 and the fact that he's German.

I can't think of any other reason.

This is the last of the proof we have they did advertise #88. Obviously site says 18 now.

I am beyond annoyed. E-mailing them now to see if it can be fixed. Not holding my breath though.

I would be too. I’d be in the same boat if I didn’t score one of the $125 blanks from the adidas site. Hope it works out for you.

Those #88 Stuetzle jerseys will be collectibles in a few years.

It's one of those things where if they're not going to make the change without extra cost to #18 (I don't think they will), I'll just happily take it as is. The jersey will already have a story behind it, I suppose.

Except you can customize a jersey to say essentially anything you want. Gretzky 99 on a 2d, lol.

 

[MrInvidious]

Just got quick confirmation, to my surprise, OTS are making the change to mine at no extra cost. I'll be receiving the #18.

Very pleasantly surprised. If anyone else has made the same order, I'd suggest shooting them a quick e-mail to confirm for your own!

That's some good customer service - Thank goodness they are replacing the # free of charge.

#18 is kinda boring much preferred #88 oh well.

 

[StoicSensFan]

For the fourth jersey program this is my list of ideas:

• Full barber pole from the original Sens (my top choice, but if there is "colour swapping" this may not happen)
• Barber Pole with gold worked in there
• Swoosh jersey in black
• Black and Gold jersey with the black replaced with red
• SNES in red
• Heritage in red (basically Belleville's third)
• Ottawa Nationals (WHA) in black, white, and red/gold (possibly with a peace tower/maple leaf logo from black and gold third jersey)
• Peace Tower jersey in red.

Hear me out... St Louis Eagles

I will say that I'm fairly certain it's because they haven't even started mine yet. I had received confirmation from them just the other day that shipping would be delayed a bit because the demand right now. Might have gotten real lucky.

Either way, I am relieved.

So I take it that the non official jerseys (fanatics I believe it's called) are a pile of dung?

They’re pretty bad. Silk screened logos, thin fabric. Without a doubt worth it to spend the extra $.

I'm sorry, did you say they're silk screened? as in printed on?

The Fanatics ones are, yes. Adidas ones have stitched crests.

 

[MrInvidious]

Yeah, I would avoid the Fanatics ones at all costs. Obviously it's the cheaper option, but the quality is a significant step down. Better off just saving up for an authentic, IMO.

• Peace Tower jersey in red.

I'd totally be down to see the Peace Tower logo actually get used, even if only for a season, just to say we did.

Also, this post has me wondering, who would own the rights to the Ottawa Nationals mark?

 

[Disclose]

i dont know what im missing. maybe lack of english.... ive never wore adidas jersey. but the fanatics jerseys arent silk printed?
the old reebook ones had the shoulder patches like that i do remember. but not this ones.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

The Fanatics ones are, yes. Adidas ones have stitched crests.

Gross. Thanks for clarifying.

Jersey options outside of the super expensive official ones have really gone downhill since I was last jersey shopping. Seemed like you used to have a middle of the road option with actual patches. I know my Corvo, Spezza and Hasek jerseys are all not the full on official, but still full patches at least, not printed.

 

[saskriders]

The previous replicas (or whatever the term is for what the Fanatics are) were adequate. Fanatics is absolute garbage. Even in the commercials for NHL shop that are made to make jerseys look good they look like garbage.

 

[Taluss]

The average person who buys a fanactics jersey just to have their own probably will enjoy it. If you have the $ for Adidas go for it, but just saying its honestly not the end of the world if you got a fanactics one and are reading this thread wondering how bad you messed up. Most of my collection is fanactics, they arent as terrible as people make em out to be.

BUT, Yes if you have the money and want a top of the line jersey then go adidas.
If your an avg person who wants a jersey just to have a jersey go fanactics.

 

[Crosside]

Just see a tweet with all the new number by our new player . Who is Logan Shaw 20

 

[Taluss]

Habs is adidas, Sharks is fanatics. Logo and stitching is definitely nicer on adidas.

Ah, those pictures help. I think I misunderstood earlier and thought they were literally printed on like you'd see in Canadian tire or bottom of the line NFL or NBA jerseys.

That's not printed on and appear to be patches applied on that Sharks jersey.
