Colin226 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) After further review, and realizing Lemieux shoots right, I have decided to change my pick and go with American hero Mark Johnson.. I only buy lefties so I own a Marty jersey and an Elias jersey.. I'll get the Parise when he becomes captain Edited February 11, 2010 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I actually think that these jerseys have the sewn on lettering and numbers... Andrew, the Brodeur, Parise and Elias ones in the Devils Den tonight were all stitched on and they are really made well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan26 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I actually think that these jerseys have the sewn on lettering and numbers... Really? It's not just the ones that look sewn on from the outside but aren't once you look on the inside? I think all the old factory-made CCM jerseys were like that.

SatansDevils Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 After further review, and realizing Lemieux shoots right, I have decided to change my pick and go with American hero Mark Johnson Sorry Colin, I would have gone with Lemieux #22. Better player with more history. I may still go get another blank and get Lemieux #22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Andrew, the Brodeur, Parise and Elias ones in the Devils Den tonight were all stitched on and they are really made well. Thanks! I ordered on the phone an Elias jersey and had one sent away for another player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may still go get another blank and get Lemieux #22. Very true.. BUT my thinking was that I wanted a player who wore the red and green more of his career.. Lemieux only wore it for 2 seasons.. Sure, he is a major reason the Devils turned things around and he was '95 playoff MVP, but his really big moments with the Devils were in red and black.. I also realllly like support good playmaking lefties!! And Johnson is an American hockey hero.. He also was on the Devils as they went from stupid-awful to consistent playoff contender I'm torn now... ughhh this is so hard Edited February 11, 2010 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points on lemieux there Colin. Go with the Johnson then. I am torn with Patrick Sundstrom as well... Thanks SD.. Isn't this such a hard decision!!?? If i had been alive during that time it'd be easy because I would have become attached to a player (like I have with Elias, Marty, Zach, and even Travis) but it's a lot harder to pick players when you weren't alive to see them play!

devilsfan26 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I still have no idea who I'm getting on mine (assuming I see these for a reasonable price eventually). Probably either Richer or MacLean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you there Colin. I was fortunate to see all the old players through those years and seasons. Sundstrom, Johnson, Muller, Verbeek, MacLean, Cirella, Lever, Bridgman, Higgins, Broten, Adams, Sulliman, McNabb and Gagne were some good players back then in the 80's for the Devils and liked them all.

You realize you just gave me a list of some players I hadn't even looked into as possabilities?! This process never ends!! Looked through your list and now I'm thinking Broten, Muller, or Johnson... Muller seems to have been the best of the 3 with the most Devils history.. hmmm Edited February 11, 2010 by Colin226 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, I had a poster of Muller on my wall- he was my favorite player from when I was about 6 and just started watching the team to the time he was traded to Montreal for Stephane Richer. Seeing all those names brings back so many memories of my early childhood. Great stuff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorske17 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 To those purchasing these... If you want to remain as authentic as possible (which some of you do) Here are some facts to consider: -Please note the CCM logo colours and how they have changed over time. 87-88's the CCM logo on the back was white with green letters, other 80's were red, red, blue, (meaning the two "C's" were outlined in red and the "M" was blue) and early 90's were red, red, green. -1991-92 was the last year the Devils wore red/green gamers and player like Richer & Chorske were brought onto the team just this year. The 75th NHL patch was applied to not only Devils gamers, but also all other NHL gamers as well as the 10 year patch on the back hem by the CCM logo. John Maclean was injured in the preseason and did not play one regular season game that year. -The Captain and Alternate Captains letters were different from year to year and some were as simple as a plain white "A" or "C" while others had two and possible three colours incorporated with the letering style. -Although I cannot remember the specific year, ONE year they hemmed up the bottom stripe fo the gamers. -A fight strap was typical back then in most jerseys. Typcially a fight strap was located on the inside of the jersey where bottom part of the number was or in between two if it was a double digit. The strap tied to a players pants and prevented the jersey from coing over your head in a fight for your own protection. Back when the Devils wore Red & Green there were various types of fight straps that ranged from Velcro, button hole, and some really interesting things. -Players wore their jerseys quite tight in the early 80's and it seemed the smaller/tighter the better. Fighter somtimes did the same because a tight jersey couldn't be easily yanked off. -Lastly, Mr. Lamoriello has always expressed great displeasure the red & green gamers because they represent the past and there were a LOT of unsuccessful seasons. Probably the best red & green season was the 1987-88 season which not only saw the Devils make the playoffs for the first time, but march all the way to eastern conference semi-finals. To date Mr. Lamoriello has avoiding having anything to do with those gamers because of the unsuccessful seasons "they" (the red & green) represented. A certain hockey convention was to take place at the arena but the condition per Mr. Lamoriello was absolutely postively not one red & green jersey. The event ended up not happening there. I do wonder what has changed his mind and hope this does not open up the possibility of an alternate jersey down the road. Home and Away is fine. I hope this helps someone.

In addition, the jerseys for the inaugural season were made by Sandow SK rather than CCM (according to nhluniforms.com), so the tagging is off for that year too. So for those of us who want to be as accurate as possible, seems like we're looking at 83-84 to 86-87, and 88-90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, was this(convention) a recent occurrence(Rock) or during the Meadowlands years? Also, you may have left this out for a reason(in which case, feel free to PM if you deem necessary/willing to share), but was it the MeiGray show that wanted to be at the arena?

Par9 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I need some help guys. I really want a jersey but just don't see who to get. I'm looking for a goal scorer with a bit of a fiesty edge and at first Johnny Mac came to my head and Don Lever. I would prefer someone a bit unde who isn't mentioned a lot. I'd really appreciate your help. This sounds like backyard hockey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelastonealive Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 So is it definite that the jerseys that they're selling are not the jerseys the players will be wearing at the game? I really kind of want an Andy Greene red/white/green jersey myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
