OT: Your Caps Collection, now with more Lord Stanley & Reverse Retro (all-purpose jersey, memorabilia, clothing, etc discussion thread)

[John Price]

f***ing dumb shits defending the scalpers on ebay charging 200 dollars above face value for reverse retro jerseys

the fanatics prices are egregious enough as is but the cretins overcharging it on ebay are worse

oh wow, you purchased 20 f***ing reverse retros, paid 2000 for it and then have the audacity to charge 300 or more on ebay for something that people paid 100 dollar in store for. Do people actually do this as a career?

So I just got the wind jacket in. Sizing is awful/weird, like my mom wears probably like a medium in womans and the 2XL was perfectly fitting her, but what really bummed me out is the image on the back is just like a sticker. No way that holds up under any kind of washing or wearing. Pretty disappointing for an Adidas product, feels super cheap. Gonna return it.

Yep, just got my stuff in the mail. The Adidas shirts fit awful, so big and loose. Returning those for sure. Wasn’t impressed at all by the fanatics hat either and I might return that also, the only nice thing I got was the Eagle fanatics polo. Actually thought that fit good, @AlexBrovechkin8 . Overall just bummed I missed out on the authentic jersey

I got the jacket yesterday too. Fitting is a bit weird but it oddly works for me. I’m normally a large and maybe I’d take an XL but the L seems ok. My kids ripped off the tags when I tried it on so I’m keeping it I guess! Definitely pricey for what it is but oh well.

For anyone still looking, coolhockey.com is releasing their RR jerseys tomorrow at 10 am. Their customization takes longer, but is a much better quality than what Fanatics, NHL Shop, etc offer. Bought a Wilson All Star jersey from them earlier this year & was very impressed.

The QC online scares me with them, but I bought a Vrana jersey from them years ago that was great. Dicks has the Ovi and Oshie Addidas Jerseys in stock tomorrow. Wonder if I should buy from Dicks or CoolHockey. Can't decide who's jersey I want.

 

[swansonsays]

I was really hesitant to go with coolhockey, but they were offering the ASG & Caps shoulder patches, where the Fanatics patches were sublimated. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. But, as others have mentioned, I've had terrible luck with Fanatics stuff quality-wise, so I try to avoid paying Fanatics for anything.

 

[Brian23]

Hockey Authentic is apparently the internet darling and they're also having them available starting tomorrow at 9am PST.

Now to decide whether I get Oshie or Backstrom.

 

[max21]

I got a lead!

Anyone going to a dicks near DC soon? Lol

 

[max21]

Okay so if anyone cares, Dicks has them for sale but on the website it only provides in store pick up. If you download the app you can get it shipped, so I just got one. They have Ovechkin and Oshie left. Doubt they’ll last

 

[VaCaps Fan]

I got an ovechkin, thanks max21!

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Don’t bother with that store I referenced in the thread, greedy ass owner is charging $250 for cheap fanatics reverse retro. I got an adidas from dicks at 250.

 

[max21]

Not to bore you guys anymore with Jersey talk but for whatever reason this line of reverse retros seems to fit more snug than the normal adidas jerseys. I went ahead and bought another one that’s one sized up. So I might have an Ovechkin sized 50 I’d be willing to sell, debating if I want to frame it though lol

After I have too many donuts I also tell myself that the clothes I’m buying are more snug than they were before

I was thinking he was at Dicks lol…

Max21 is right about the jersey having a slimmer fit.

@Ridley Simon you need this for the work grind. Washington Capitals “Screamin’ Eagle” Edition 15 oz Mug | eBay

 

[Holtbyisms]

Max21 is right about the jersey having a slimmer fit.

Can also confirm the fit is a bit snug. Normally a 56 is good for me at 6"5 220ish but in hindsight would have gone with a 58. Not out hand small but I like my jerseys a little loose like a hoodie, kind of fits more like a sweater.

Shipping costs are more than the mug, lol.

The Weagle will be the main logo for the Stadium Series jersey. On a side note, I forgot we were playing in the Stadium Series until I saw this tweet.

 

[max21]

Welp, there goes more of my money

It’s only money. You can’t take it with you when it’s your time to go anyway.

True. it’s why we work, right? To buy stadium series caps jerseys. Money is meant to be spent
