Roger Clemente Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 We need Gretzky as a Leaf... and we all know why....Sorry, this was the best I could do...I never made the Gretzky-era Leaf jerseys and I'm not sure if I will. Their current jerseys were introduced the season after Gretzky retired so it's be anachronistic to do them that way.This is also why I didn't do the Habs other white jersey. I didn't do any throwbacks. I may do it someday, but the thing is that there are now so many throwbacks and only a handful of teams are actually wearing them, so I'm not sure sure which ones would be a priority.--Roger "Time?"

philly97flyer Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 any chance we could see throwbacks in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 any chance we could see throwbacks in the near future? I don't think so. I've already mentioned twice why I wouldn't. That's not to rule them out completely, but getting the resources to some of them would be difficult because they aren't officially worn by the NHL teams and are often only available in certain players. (And IceJerseys.com is not entirely accurate and neither is EA's jersey wallpaper.) I may do them someday, but don't hold your breath on it.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

Frenchie Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 they aren't officially worn by the NHL teams ?How about those that are actually worn on the ice?STL, VAN, BOS (those I can remember)Not that I really WANT them, Im just curious... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, while those may be a lot easier, I would need many photographs of those jerseys PLUS the measurements of the stripes of those jerseys PLUS making the letters and numbers for them (which may be very easy in a few cases, but in other cases, like the Rangers 1970's throwbacks, I'd have to start from scratch to reproduce a very difficult font).--Roger "Time?"

Roger Clemente Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 70s Rangers? Not the 80s Jets rip-off?(or do I have my decades all confused?) Those Rangers jerseys were introduced in 1976, but they only used them for two seasons. The Jets "rip-off" was introduced in 1979 when they first entered the NHL. They didn't use them in the WHA.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you.

commish Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Roger, great work as always!BTW - Did you know that your old lettering templates are being used by the table hockey community for custom Stiga players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Roger, great work as always!BTW - Did you know that your old lettering templates are being used by the table hockey community for custom Stiga players? Thank you.I didn't actually know that, but I did somewhat suspect it. This is something I would love to get into actually, although I'll probably design my own table and figures. I wish MacFarlane made table hockey figures, that'd be fantastic. I'd love to see picture of these custom skaters, if you can find any.I wonder how much easier it might be to take these very files I have here, make player jerseys with them, print them off in little squares and glue them onto the back of the little plastic players...--Roger "Time?"

budbowl77 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 more pics for you guys..maybe someone could whip me up an Islanders Home Jersey with McCue 72 on the back for me? I'd appreciate it.btw: I didnt make these, nor am i taking credit for doing so..I just happened to get the images from someone who happened to have these images on his PC.

Roger Clemente Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 Those images are what used to be on CCM's website. No offence, but while it's nice to post these, they are actually quite useless to me because I need the actual measurements of the stripes themselves. (The striping on the 80's Leafs and 90's Kings jerseys are way off and the shoulders on that vintage Blues jersey are oddly incosistent.) That is not possible to get from these "drawings". If I have the actual measurements, it takes little effort at all to make these jerseys. (And the pictures at NHLuniforms.com are more plentiful and much more reliable than these, as they actually offer examples of the letters and numbers)If anyone out there actually owns any of these throwback jerseys (or others), I can make them easily if you want to send the measurements of them along. Just set the measuring tape or ruler at the cuff and measure up for sleeve stripes. For body stripes start from the bottom of the jersey and go up. Keep it exact, If the measurement shows 1.1 inches instead of 1, tell me.Of course, if you want to do them yourself, use my Jersey-2 template. Each square of the jersey equals one inch equals ten pixels. For stripes that are .75 inches, I use 7 pixels thick. 1.25 = 12, basically, I round down for a half-tenth. Keep that in mind.My local sporting goods store has a few of these (and other) throwbacks for sale. If I can, might go and measure them myself tomorrow.Oh, and I do actually have that 80's Leafs jersey. (It's the only one.) I made it just for the hell of it to show off what vintage player jersey I would buy if I had to buy one (or two):None of this, of course applies to the letter and number sets they'd need too.--Roger "Time?"

Useless or not, there are people out there who maybe never saw these before..If anyone wants me to remove them i will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
