Kids: Just Say No to Dzingel

:5:
 
Question, I am interested in buying a CBJ jersey, either a Gaborik or Dubinsky. I think the ones at the arena are overpriced ($200), where would you recommend I look. The NHL Shop online has them for $185 (plus s/h). Sportsk.com has them for $165.

Anyone have any tips for me? Thanks.

Sportsk has a pretty good reputation for their work on Rangers jerseys from what I've read on their forum. Don't know of anyone who has experience with them for CBJ stuff. I've personally bought a Gretzky oilers jersey from them but it was not completely stitched. They didn't do the custom work, just happened to be reselling an official nhl throwback replica.

Don't but from NHL.com. It's overpriced and they only heat press, not stitched. The only stitched ones they do are the winter classic jerseys from recent knowledge.

This really is not an easy question to answer. First off this is just my opinion, but the Reebok replica's are garbage and IMO the extra spent on an authentic is well worth it. But then you run into another problem in that the correct authentics (Edge 2.0 with the wordmark logo) that someone like Gaborik or Dubinsky wear is not for sale to the public anyway so if you want an authentic you have to settle for the older style Edge 1.0's with the vector logo. Still IMO a Edge 1.0 is miles ahead of a replica and their screen printed patches. And for the sake of being brief ;) I'm not even going to cover Indgo Edge jerseys.

Now on to the lettering. The Blue Line seems to get it right most of the time, but their E's are wrong and they use the wrong material for the nameplates, but they are sewn on and look good for the most part. NHL.com is heatpressed junk. Sports K I am not sure how their work looks, but a lot of pleases out there use the totally wrong font on the letters and numbers and they just look bad. I have sent jerseys to exclusivepro.com and other then their E's are wrong they do good work, but I'm not sure what they charge now days. If I had to guess somewhere around $65 for the lettering.

All of the info above is why I sold most of my replica and authentics and now only buy game worn jerseys.

If you're set on only buying a replica I would spend the $200 at the Blue Line. Sure it might be a little more, but at least you can see it in person before buying and you know what you're getting. If you buy from anywhere else you really don't know what you're getting.

If you're still reading this lol and are interested in an authentic let me know and I can try to help you out.

Thanks for the info, I think I might just buy it at the arena so I can see what I'm getting and have it right away. I mean after shipping and taxes it will essentially be the same price. I'm not so concerned about authenticity per se but I want something that looks good.

I just hope when I go next they win, been to both home games and two loses...
 
Anyone interested in a game-worn CBJ White #64 Dalton Prout? Was used in 2010/11 preseason/prospect camps.

Asking $150 shipped.
 
There doesnt seem to be much of a resell market for Jackets jerseys? Im looking for a authentic current jersey and short of buying one of the no name, game worn ones at the games, I dont see much out there. Forgive me if Im missing something as Im new to the boards

Authentics in the current style (Edge 2 with Reebok wordmark) are difficult to come by. You can get some Edge 1's, with the vector logo.

Easier to come by are some of the previous style authentic sweaters such as the CCM, KOHO, and Reebok 6100's. Then you can customize as one of your former favorite players. For instance, I have some with Nash, Whitney, Malhotra, etc. They look great and are a higher quality than replicas. These can be secured much cheaper than the Edge's.
 
This is all kind of new to me, We're first time half season ticket holders but are immersing ourselves. Weve got the original style jerseys, but Id like to get one of the newer style for xmas
 
What I did is bought an alternate blank replica for pretty cheap online then had the blueline do a sewn on customization with namebar. The problem with the home and away replicas are the chincy shoulder patches on them, but the alternate sweater has no should patches so its not a problem. Have to buy authentic to get the good ones, but as said above, they are hard to come by, especially for a decent price.
 
They will do a name plate. Only problem is the blue line does not have the right name plates.

Also they will not strip the numbers and replace them.
