DevsMan84 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 As for baseball Stadiums, the best experience I have ever had in one was a few years ago when I got tickets from a very large software company in the Audi Club (or whatever it's called) in Yankee Stadium. Glass-enclosed seating in the left outfield with all-you-can-eat buffet (that was quite good) that was air-conditioned on a game day that was in the 90's.

There are other avenues to get Edge 2.0's. A seller named jerseybaron_com has had some sort of in with the Reebok people and has been able to get Canadian made Edge 2.0's for years now of just about every team and every style. However, his pricing reflects that exclusivity (usually $300 and over). Also some retailers like coolhockey and the like have had some stock of the Canadian Edge 2.0's from time to time in limited quantities and styles (Devils usually one of the hardest via this avenue). You can also get blanks or NOBR (name on backs removed) or NNOB (no name on back) from Meigray at times and those prices drop during the summer sale (usually 25-40% off). Also you can find random jerseys like the Zajac jersey on ebay. The one you posted is an Indo-Edges which tend to be pretty readily available (though if there is a run on jerseys now that might change that). As for the upcoming Adidas Adizero jerseys, those won't be available to the public at all. Even Jersey Baron said he won't be getting them in and several retailers have echoed this. Literally to get the Canadian-made Adizero jerseys going forward you would have to either buy game worn, game issued or team overstock.

For the average person probably not. For people into jerseys there is a noticeable difference. The material for the air-knit panels are this faux air-knit type material that is also a little thinner. The fight strap is also attached differently and not the same as the Canadian ones and from what I remember I do not think the Indo's have the double-elbows (have to check later when I get home as I only have 1 Indo in my collection). Indo's are definitely a big step up from the premier replicas (which were always crappy to begin with), but the leap from them to Canadian made 2.0's is not that big.

You could even buy Sandy Koufax T-shirts in the clothing shops at Citi for a while...WTF?! The problem was that Brooklyn Dodger history was given precedence over the team that actually plays in the building...and that made the Mets' brand-new ballpark feel less like home initially than Shea Stadium, sadly to the point that the opening of the new stadium that the Mets sorely needed was not nearly as celebrated as it should have been...what should have been a no-brainer slamdunk became more of a rim clanger (especially with the absurd outfield dimensions, which thankfully have been adjusted, and some obstructed views). Now it's true that the Wilpons have made some welcome modifications (changing the outfield wall colors, bringing in the fences, adding a very nice Mets Hall of Fame, among other more subtle touches), but the problem with Fred and his demon seed Jeffy is that they never know what the right thing to do is until they fvck up royally first, then have to have everything explained to them. Building a stadium that was obviously intended to be a shroud to the Brooklyn fvcking Dodgers was example #1000000 of how out of touch the Wilpons remain with the Met fanbase...and why it's forever difficult for fans to ever trust or embrace them. . It was a bit overdone, and I forgot about the Sandy Koufax t-shirts. However, I may be bias because even though they were long gone by the time I was invented, I do have an interest in Brooklyn Dodgers and NY Giants history. As far as fvcking up first, makes me wonder about those advising him. My guess is people who were working on the aesthetics and decor of the place didn't have the stones to tell him he was making a mistake. Or, they did and they just didn't care.

Nicomo Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks for the info, 84. I think I'm going to snag one anyway if the difference to a casual jersey fan is that negligible.

These are just for me to wear to games, so I can deal with the not-too-crazy Indo downgrades. Agree on the replicas being cheap in general quality, but for fans on very tight budgets, I get why people buy them. Really wish they didn't have that big silver "HEY IT'S JUST A REPLICA!" patch on the lower stripe. That really blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wish they didn't have that big silver "HEY IT'S JUST A REPLICA!" patch on the lower stripe. That really blows. Agreed. What's weird is that the premiers were modeled initially after the 1.0's (they look and feel a lot like them) but when the NHL moved to the 2.0's, Reebok didn't change the premiers one bit. If they did, they would have shortened the sleeves a little bit and made the material air-knit like the old CCM 550 replicas. Edit: Also the prices for the replicas were silly. Back in the 90's, a blank replica at the store was about $60. Now they are $120-150 depending on the place. That's insane for a replica.

I ended up ordering a white Edge. I'm going to send it to Exclusive Pro and have it customized Elias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Adidas continue to make the now "old" design is anyone's guess. The third jersey program is on hold for this coming season, but is due to come out for the 18-19 season. We will probably know then if the retro will come back in it's current form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, what I was told was whoever takes them needs to go on "open table" and they can make a reservation and have a table with buffet access for 2 hours. However, it is not included in the ticket price. Believe cost is $60/person. Not sure when they open or when the last seating is, or if you can watch games from seats.

Best part was back in April being able to get Champions Club tickets outside the stadium for $40 each. I think it was the Champions Club. Sat between the plate and dugout, field level, 1st base side., Like I said, it's special because it's not special. No gimmicks, no bullsh!t, just a baseball park. And the Phillies being so bad has been great in terms of ticket accessibility like you said. I can spend $15 total before ticket fees on an entire day for 2 people. $4.50 round trip subway and $2.50 per ticket. It's really been that cheap. Gotta enjoy it now because Philadelphia sports fans are as hardcore bandwagon as they come. When the Phils sniff a division title, good luck getting in for under $40.

DevsMan84 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Recently got this in. Got a pristine blank mid-90's authentic ultrafil from Meigray (still had the born on-sticker of Jan 95 on it) and sent it to EPS to get it done as a Peluso. I look forward to wearing it to games this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
