pattyelias Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I wanna get my girlfriend a customized Devils jersey with her second love (#18) on the back. Anyone know any good places to look online or to go to in North Jersey or NYC to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 C'mon, people! Can't anybody help this guy? What about that store you guys talk about, where is it, the Livingston Mall? I don't know. Well, if you order it now, you could give it to her for St. Paddy's Day or Easter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hmmmm............Easter for a Jewish girl might not go over to well with the parents (both mine and hers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) Oh well, two more Oops for poohbear. So, I guess that would rule out St. Paddy's too. Edited February 10, 2004 by poohbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 http://www.coolhockey.com/ is a GREAT place to get authentic jerseys CHEAP. Most people thought the site went under (including me), but apparently they just changed their domain, thought that was kind of interesting. Basically, you can get an authentic customized Devils jersey for $229 US, a much better deal than River City Sports, where it's something like $240 (not exactly sure). I got my authentic Pando jersey from there and they did a great job. Hope taht helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Sports Express is the name of the store in the Livingston mall, they only sell replica jerseys (in stock), unfortunately. You can get an authentic but it'll take a good 3-4 weeks to get it back, they have to ship it out and get it customized special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Thanks RD.....I'm gonna check it out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 One more thing.........what size do I get a 5' 4'' female who weighs about 115??? (Yes, I know I should know this but help me out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 That depends, would she want it big on her or smaller and a more snug fit? I'd probably go with a medium if she wants it bigger on her, small otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 What are the main differences between a replica jersey that has a named stiched and numbers and an authentic jersey? I know the authentic jersey has a fight strap but what else. Why does it have to be that much more expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyFan42 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Maybe the jersey material itself is more expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhDEVILSfan Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 One thing, the elbows are twice a thick on the authentic, also the way the names are put on are diffrent and i don't think replica's have the numbers on the sleves. There is probley more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 The crest, numbers, and name are different material and are sewn on differently. Elbows are reinforced, and the jersey also features a fight strap. Don't think there's any real difference in the jersey material, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mac Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Gerry Cosby is the best place to go. I know there is one at the Garden in the City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Authentics have a fight strap, reinforced elbows and shoulders, underarm gussets, and full tackle twill crest (vs. embroidered like the replicas). The logos are also a little different: replicas have a CCM/Koho logo on the right wrist and an NHL puck logo on the hem. Authentics have no wrist logo and the silver NHL shield on the hem. Authentics come in sizes 48, 52, 56, etc. (chest sizes) and replicas come in small, medium, large, etc. I got a 52 and it's pretty big. I think I might get a 48 next time. I like having the authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Ya the chest sizes. I want to get a personalized football jerseys but I don't get the 48, 52 and all those numbers to how it would compare to a medium, large or XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 XLs are huge! My husband got one by mistake and it's a tent! You gotta be big to wear a XL. He's 6' and 210, I think? He's got a tummy, if you know what I mean, but he's not fat. Don't know if that helps any. Eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Well, on the websites like River City Sports and CoolHockey, they automatically do the sizing change for you -- they just ask you S, M, L, XL and they'll convert it to 48, 52, 54, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Puddy Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 52 is pretty big. I would compare 52 to a "regular" XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djstubbs Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 52 is pretty big. I would compare 52 to a "regular" XL. I have two replica jerseys both size large, both fit well and are comfortably big. I can wear a sweatshirt and such under it. Is Large, 48?
