Colorado Avalanche Vitaly Kolesnik Game Worn jersey

The season of 2005-06 was a strange on for anyone watching the NHL. Coming out of the lockout, fans saw their favorite players walk away to other teams for more money, new rules were in place, a new national broadcaster was getting their feet wet and their faces flattened, and everything else was fraught with [...]

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Ivan Tkachenko Game Worn Jesrey

I’ve got this guy, on ebay. He gets me the good stuff. He doesn’t know me. I’m just some guy with a paypal account, but I know him. I know his stuff, and his stuff is good. Just looking at his stuff, I’m getting that itch, the itch that says there will be a new [...]

Sneak Peek: New Jersey

I finally picked up a few new jerseys from Meigray, and I’m really happy with them. I posted a few pictures on twitter, just little teasers. When I have a few minutes and a good place to do it, I’ll take some photos of the new ones, and put them on the blog. For now, [...]

Plymouth Whalers Game Issued (maybe) Jersey, Plus a Photo Bonus.

Sometimes, you just want a jersey because you like the jersey. Sometimes, you just want something neat. And that’s how I felt about the Plymouth Whalers jersey. I liked the jersey, and I liked the fact that it hailed from a time gone by, while still being it’s own separate thing.

Plymouth plays in the OHL, [...]

Huntington Blizzard MW Jersey: Not a Jersey Foul

Yes, obviously, I am a jersey collector. I love hockey jerseys, and I wear them all the time (I’m not crazy, I wear other things in the off season). I’m not as big a jersey collector as some people I know, but I have a fair share of jerseys, as many as my budget allows. [...]

ELITE Sheffield Steelers Jersey

If you have walked around a city for long enough wearing a hockey jersey, someone will probably ask you about it. In some parts of the US, wearing a hockey jersey is similar to wearing a clown outfit, or a burka. You tend to stand out. For hockey fans, hockey jerseys are a social object. [...]

Christmas Jersey 2009: Part 2

As I said just a few days ago, I got a few jerseys for Christmas and…

What? Christmas was five months ago? Why didn’t anyone tell me?

Finally, the long promised jersey post is here. Meet the Lake Erie Monsters Mark McCutcheon Game Worn Jersey:

Now, I didn’t know much about McCutcheon (actually, I didn’t know anything about [...]

Christmas Jerseys 2009: Part One

Christmas may come but once a year, but… yeah, I got nothing. But hey, who cares when you can share your holiday jersey gifts.

Last year, I was the proud recipient of an Alaska Aces Game Worn Chris Beckford-Tseu jersey, which was timely since I was going to spend some time in Anchorage. This year, I [...]

Avalanche Unveil 3rd Jersey… Which I Won’t Be Buying

The Colorado Avalanche finally showed off their latest abomination to the hockey world powered by Reebok 3rd jersey to the world, and while it has elements of the original 3rd, it really isn’t any match.

(the picture is from Icethetics, who got it somewhere else)

Great, the Avs will be playing in a Snuggie.

Look, I’ve made no [...]

Is There a Problem with the New Team Canada Jerseys?

Nike, we have a problem.

There was plenty of hoopla and fanfare surrounding the release of the new Team Canada Olympic hockey jerseys. As you may know, the IOC decided that the actual logos of the team’s governing bodies would not be allowed on team jerseys (this was also behind the changes made to the [...]
