If your name is jeff, you can get a chris tamer autographed stick personalized to you. For only $50.

My name IS Jeff, and I'm not a stick guy, or I'd jump on this. I did see this happen one time with a jersey, and I couldn't pass it up! http://jeffshly.weebly.com/1993-94-ccm- ... mieux.html

Did House O Hockey ever get the Edge 2.0 of the new white jerseys? They have not sold them on ebay at least, maybe selling them only in store? Ron said they would get them, but then it was delayed, did Ron ever get them?

Jersey Baron has monopoly and could charge any price. Last year when house o hockey got the black ones the prices came down somewhat!

The last Golden Toe Mario Lemieux jersey size 48 NEW WITH TAGS went for 443$ on ebay. And now we are being charged 400$ for the current Reebok jerseys. Why did I not buy the Lemieux jersey and not the current ones? Bad decision making!

Not to my knowledge, but I need to have some patchwork done, so I'll be heading out to talk to him in the next couple of weeks. I'll ask him when I'm there and let you know.

Any of you jokers happen to have an authentic Badger Bob patch you'd be wiling to sell?

Been looking for one for quite some time. Can't seem to find anything but reproductions on ebay. Boo...

[BurghThing]

You mean the rink with "Its a Great Day for Hockey" on it?

[blurryhaze312]

No, this one from 92:

[BurghThing]

Can't help you there, sorry.

Maybe the team has a few lying around somewhere. Doubtful, but wouldn't hurt to ask if you haven't.

Ron told me they should be getting them in February. They recently got the new stadium series 2.0s

My wife was told the same thing when she tried to get me a road white for Christmas. As I inderstand it HOH didn't seem too pleased with their suppliers to not have any in December!

Don't know if they are authentic, but try here:

[jeffshly]

The ones from Chuck Thomas - at least, the one pictured - isn't the same patch that was work back in 1992. Look at the patch above, then compare to the one one the ChuckThomas.com site. Look closely at the rounded serifs on the 9's and the 3. (had to edit because I couldn't get the image to display properly)

Thank you. I was told the same thing over email as well. Unreal, to deliver that late from Reebok.

[shoeshine boy]

Reebok's jersey division is all sorts of a dumpster fire. I remember trying to get jerseys for my beer league team done and the shop doing it tried to steer me away from Reebok jerseys because they couldn't get them in. we're not talking about an obscure colorway either, we were doing Montreal home jerseys.

You're welcome. Just wait until they switch over to adidas next season and the fanatics jerseys. I don't think it's gonna go well.

Dealing with Reebok and making actual bookings, I can confirm.

They are a mess.

Adidas will still be the on ice supplier for all of the teams next year. Adidas will still provide the pro model jerseys. It is yet to be seen if they will have the 1.0 and 2.0 versions of the Adidas jerseys. I can say as a Reebok/Adidas dealer that the pro jerseys will be more affordable next year. Reebok/Adidas doesn't want to lose their entire market share of jerseys to Fanatics and their replica versions. Reebok/Adidas is going to make it very appealing to go ahead with the pro model with their new retail price structure for the pro jerseys.

Reebok/Adidas is going to make it very appealing to go ahead with the pro model with their new retail price structure for the pro jerseys.

So currently, Reebok has two different "authentics" - the retail authentic "IndoEdge" 7231 jerseys and the CCM-made on-ice 7287 Edge 2.0's. Will Adidas keep a "retail authentic" and an "on-ice authentic?" Will the CCM equipment factory still make jerseys for teams under the Adidas name (like they do for Reebok now) while the Adidas apparel company make jerseys for fans?

What is the difference in the 7231 and the 7287? Can you tell me how Inwould be able to notice which one is which?

[blurryhaze312]

In almost all cases the easiest way to tell is the bright green pipe with the repeated "Reebok" that runs inside along the collar by the size tag for the 7231 jerseys. The 7287 have a black one.

I say almost all cases because the first Stadium Series jersey of ours had a green one even though it was a 7287.

Differences between the two? Different materials, not made in Canada, and the fight strap is slightly different.

Take a look at the very first post in this thread. It explains quite a bit about the differences between 7231's and 7287's.

Thanks! Sorry about that.

[jeffshly]

Sorry about that.

No need for apologies, bud! I don't go back and read 11 pages of text every time I have a question! I wouldn't expect that you should either!

That still remains to be seen. The booking catalog information only listed "Pro Weight Jerseys with Fight Strap" No delineation noted for two different versions of pro jerseys.
