This is just a reminder from you friendly neighborhood Tapeleg. Before you go putting your money on the barrel-head for a brand new NHL RBK EDGE jersey (that sure is a lot of capital letters), remember that the new jerseys are going to fit a lot different than the old ones. While that may seem obvious, you may get the early adopter blues when you order online, and find out that your new jersey isn’t as flattering as the old, or is choking the life out if you. If you can wait, try one on when it becomes available in stores. There are way to many questions about the new jerseys to not make an informed decision. Like what does this mean? From shop.nhl.com:
The front crest is embroidered just like the authentic jersey and the single layer screen printed tackle twill shoulder patches (where applicable) are sewn directly to the jersey.
Especially at these prices. $114.99 for a sight unseen Premier (replica) jersey? Head my words.
Hi Tapeleg -
With that in mind, I plan on keeping my sweaters/jerseys that were given to me during the past four seasons.
I’ll be that guy for awhile.
