So for people unaware, like 10 years back I was in a big hunt for this particular jersey in a size 46, and blurryhaze312 kindly decided he could let go of the one he had to help end my chase! That was very kind of him and still much appreciated

Here is blurryhaze312 old jersey Thanks again!

That Haze...he's a good guy, isn't he? If only I could get him to sell me his original Pens 25th Anniversary patch!

Haha. I guess maybe Haze could consider trading it for one of your game worn jerseys? I do know he really values these patches.

Hey now, I never said I wouldn't sell you one. Make you a deal, you help me find an authentic Badger patch that I can buy for not a crazy ridiculous price or trade for and I'll give you a 25th for free as a finders fee!

Lesky - no, I didn't wait. It's literally the first one I've found in that size in the model with a fight strap that I was able to buy since our trade. 9 years and only one I've found!! I guess that wait was worth it to get a jersey in such good condition.

Waiting for a kit to arrive to turn it into a Jagr "C" captain jersey. Also found this recently, which will also be a Jagr captain. I know you'll approve.

You still doing your own sewing, Haze?

Yup!

I picked up a 2018-19 HFC jersey (retail authentic) from...get ready for this...TJ Maxx for $40. ProKnit won’t customize it, citing the fact that the Pens don’t let them supply kits for specialty jerseys. So I picked up this one: https://customizesports.com/product/pit ... er-jersey/

I emailed Ron at HoH to see if he’s out it on for me and I’m awaiting a response. I wish I knew how to do that stuff!

Would you happen to have a vegas gold gamer from 2009 and 2016? Trying to figure out what material was used for the name plates. It looks like 2009 was airknit, but trying to confirm that they switched to the edge mesh on the back in 2016 for the white jerseys.

Also, do you happen to have your jerseys posted anywhere? Would love to take a look!

Reebok Edge 2.0 jerseys from 2009 through the transition to Adidas were made of Air-Knit material. The nameplates were also Air-Knit. MiC Adidas jerseys also use nameplates made from the same material of the body/torso of the jersey.

Thanks Jeff! Would you happen to know if the white vegas gold jerseys from the sharks series were the same? I’ve been told they were different.

Those were Edge 2.0 jerseys made of Air-Knit material. Nameplates for those jerseys were also Air-Knit. I don't have a Pro Knit-customized example, but I do know that, outside of patchwork, these jerseys weren't customized any differently.

Does Sidney Crosby have a contract with a group/vendor who market signed pucks by him? I've tried Frozen Pond in Toronto and they don't carry any due their suppliers high asking prices. Not even going to consider ebay or any other such outlet with parking lot scrawls or numerous fakes.

To be honest, I'm not real sure. I've never been one to buy/sell autographed merch. There are some Facebook group that do, though. Check out the "Pittsburgh Penguins Autographed, Game Used, & Collectible Memorabilia" and "Pittsburgh Penguins Autographed Memorabilia Selling & Trading" groups. Those guys should be able to point you in the right direcction.

Crosby has an exclusive autographed memorabilia contract with Frameworth. You can go to http://www.frameworth.com and search for Crosby items to purchase. He does not do signings with any other companies or individuals. He has been exlusive with Frameworth his entire career.

Is this legit? If it’s team issued I’m not sure why the ccm would be by the neck. Can’t find any player photos with that placement.

Edit: Apparently they were worn this way in 2001-2002.

Jersey looks legit to me. More importantly, the seller on this is also legit. I've dealt with Jersey Baron before. As a typically the case, he's a bit on the pricy side, but the jersey is definitely legit.

Yep. 100% legit I bought that one and also the away gradient (koho) jersey in size 52 from the jerseybaron a few years back.

I would have guessed the jerseys were from the 2000-2001 season as that was the last season the gradient jersey was worn before they scrapped it.


EDIT: OMG. I learned something new here. The Penguins wore the jammies koho for the 2001-2002 season, I was sure it went out the door when Jagr was traded. Good that I learned this

I totally approve of your recent Jagr customization moves, I hope you share the results when they are done so we can all enjoy

I have seen a few in size 46 actually in the last 4-5 years but never a brand new with tag, most were clealy used. I was thinking of sending you a message and see if you were still looking but figured you already
got one

Nice one, a starter mesh jersey Wait a minute, how is the starter mesh about the same size as the size 46? Is it made in Berlin, WI? I dont see a size tag, but regardless I am certain that you have found something mega rare unless I have misjugded the sizing of the jersey. The Jagr signature is on point

It's a size 50-R actually. It's fairly large, but not a tent like any other Starter mesh jersey I've seen.

blurryhaze did you ever find your Badger patch? Chuck Thomas Enterprises has them. I believe they are authentic. I've purchased from them in the past and have been very pleased.

The picture posted on that site is of a reproduction patch. Compare to this one, from my team-issued jersey from 1992.



A number of the other patches on this site are reproductions as well.

Anyone know if Sid wore a 54 or a 56 in juniors?

Customized to match the jersey Jagr wore in the game to send Gretzky into retirement - he scored the OT goal in the final game of the season.
