Searching for your 'whale'

I just picked up one of my whales and it was the number 1 on my list. It is an authentic CCM 1988 airnet Hartford Whalers green jersey. Now, I just need to get Francis #10 with the C and I will be set. I thought about getting Ray Ferraro but Francis was just too good. Next up, New Jersey Devils Christmas Tree White jersey. We will see if I can find that one.

Oh those are going right into a frame. Very few of the brown pants exist. It's cool that the socks are stitched onto them too. NEVER thought I'd get my hands on these!

Do the Browns still wear brown pants anymore with white jerseys? I always liked that uniform combo nice pickup.

I'm looking for a gray late 80s Brewers road jersey, or a 90s road jersey as well. Both are very hard to find and I think they beat any of the Brewers very popular early 80s jerseys and powder blue ones you see all over the ballpark.

It's been a part of their uniform kit since 2006, but they worn them once during a preseason game in '08 and then for all away games in '09. They didn't wear them once in '10 and when Nike takes over in 2012...who knows if they will ever return. I liked them too. Sooooooo freakin' happy a got a game issued pair.

Preferably both blank jerseys, and a home Vipers jersey.

You've got to be more specific than "home/road" when it comes to jerseys for IHL teams. Typically, the IHL had teams wear white at home before the All-Star break, dark at home after, and white at home again for the playoffs.

I picked up a Vipers plum authentic for $34 forever ago on clearance from RCS. Love that jersey, and love the construction of all Bauer authentics.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

It would probably be a 1996-97, Detroit Vipers Home Jersey, and it was during the regular season when I went to that game, so that picture is the closest match to the jerseys I remember. Plus, I was a teenager then, so obviously there was no way I could convince my parents to buy me a sports jersey at that time.

The Calgary Flames one though... man, I still kick myself over that one, as I had the funds to get it, but I remember devoting the money to a Super Bowl trip, the XBox 360, and other things, not realizing those jerseys would be clearly impossible to get post-lockout. I have the home and alternate versions, so when I go into my closet and decide which one to wear if the weather permits and I feel like wearing one, it just nags at me.

This place has non-blank Flames jerseys from this era for Iginla and Phaneuf; I don't know if they're authentics or replicas.

This place has a blank replica in XL only.

I have no idea how reputable either of these sellers are, but I hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll check those out. I'm currently in the process of hunting for that first whale, the Vipers one will probably be a lot harder to find though.

My whale was simply an Expos hat. I never saw one at Lids or anything, so I figured I'd never get my hands on one. I found one for a decent (but probably still relatively high) price in Montreal today. Probably not too rare or impressive, but it was my whale nonetheless so I figured I'd stop by this thread.

Oh YES!!!

Wow -- that is something.

Wasn't that originally done by someone on this board?

EDIT: I should say that by "that is something" I mean that it's pretty awesome.

Thanks. My hook-up is pretty damn good. I'd love to know who the original designer of this jersey was.
