As others have mentioned here previously on other threads, the Canadian made Adidas authentics are not even close to being the same as the Indos. So true. I have a GW Zajac Elias night (the only Adidas I own), and the "real thing" fits FAR better than the current authentics. If I ever decide to buy an Adidas that I want to personalize, the ONLY way I'll do it is going mfitz's route. Speaking of, he mentioned it on here, but the Prout nameplate on his jersey was actually coming off...scary in that it saw zero game use.

Nicomo Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Speaking of fit on the authentic Adidas (the real one’s) I remember a couple of you guys saying they run small compared to the Edge, if I wear a 54 or 56 in an Edge would a 56 Adidas probably fit or would I be better off going all the way up to a 58?

Its a HUGE difference, way bigger than the difference between the Reebok Indos and Canadians, in my opinion. 42 minutes ago, Nicomo said: What’s the cheapest a game issued of an unpopular player usually goes for? 40 minutes ago, DevsMan84 said: Meigray has some training camp worn only right now for as low as $250. https://www.meigray.com/itemcatalog.aspx?categoryid=4542 Correct. Mine was more since I bought it when they were first available. But, I would add that the prices are a little inflated on these because they are new as well. I have been able to buy Game Issued Devils jerseys from MeiGray for under $200 several times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Zajac is a 56. It's comfortable, but definitely feels a little more snug than an Edge 56...if such a thing existed, I would say it fits like a 55. I would say you should still be ok with a 56. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did EPS do the customization on your Nico? I remember there being some question as to whether or not they had the right font for the current jersey.

Speaking of, he mentioned it on here, but the Prout nameplate on his jersey was actually coming off...scary in that it saw zero game use. I currently own 5 game worn jerseys from this most current season: Hall red set 1 Boyle red set 1 Johansson white set 1 Butcher white set 2 Severson Elias Night (one-game wonder worn around the time the team was transitioning from set 2 to set 3) After looking at the customization between the Butcher and Severson and the other 3 from set 1, I have to say that it appears to me that the set 1's were noticeably more sloppily done than the others. The set 1's had crooked lettering, poor stitch work and the like. The set 2's were done a little more solidly IMO. That leads me to believe that the set 1's were probably rushed due to the transition of the official team customizer from EPS to PX. Also, on the set 1's, from what I have heard is that when the team received the jerseys they only heat-pressed the NHL 100 patches on the arms. Looking at the way it was stitched, I believe this to be true as it looks like the Devils equipment trainers sewed down all those patched after they received them. The stitch work matches that of the alternate captain's A on my Hall that was removed during the HFC night game during the first intermission and later stitched back on.

Its off a slight bit from what PX is doing, but they didn't just take their old font and slap it on the new style, they tried to approximate what PX is doing as close as possible.

There was a slight impression left behind from the #5 on the back, but it's almost entirely gone after washing, pressing and then re-customizing. I feel like in the right light I still see a little, but barely. It wouldn't usually be my practice to replace a single digit with a double digit for that exact reason. When I bought it, my intention was to do a Butcher, since 8 covers 5 very well. But it stripped so clean I didn't have to. As I have pointed out before, the customizing by PX was so bad that the nameplate was literally falling off the jersey when it arrived from MeiGray. This is the sleeve after the 5 was removed. This was not really glue, just compression of the material. It came out 100% Edited August 7, 2018 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was partially afraid that it would be like carpet indentations from furniture or something, where even after something's moved, no matter how long goes by, that spot never really seems to retake shape. I guess because this is just loose fabric eventually it'll go back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) I buy player t shirts more, i care a lot less when the guys leave but these shirts are too expensive for what they are so I've even cut back on that. Haven't bought a new jersey since geez, maybe 04 lol but I got a few "free" ones over the years from the Devils, 05 lockout, a few tenure jerseys and a Nico signed jersey cause my last tenure jersey got delayed like a year for some stupid reason.

I haven't bought a player T-shirt in a while because in the last 6-7 years the quality of those shirts have gone down. However, I can totally understand why you go that route. I always recommend to people to get jerseys of guys who are either on a long-term deal or are "forever Devils" like Stevens, Brodeur, Elias, etc. Right now I have 3 that I wear to the arena; 2010 Retro night Edge 2.0 GI Greene, Retro Edge 2.0 MiC Elias and CCM authentic Ultrafil Peluso. I might be moving that Greene soon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have Hall and Hischier player tees and I’m perfectly happy with the quality of them so far. Still look brand new honestly. I don’t wear them a lot either though. Washing them in cold water and hang drying them probably helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of player t-shirts, but definitely a cheaper, lower risk way of supporting a player and if they leave town, not too big of a deal.
