Not a "thrift store" find per se, but a local company did a huge buyout of 25+ years of Bills backlogged equipment... snagged all this yesterday:

It sold for $400 the same day I bought it for $40!

When the freelancer you hired Googles "5 year anniversary patch."

I an hoping to get it photomatched or authenticated (even though its an obvious gamer), I think it might be worth auctioning through a memorabilia specialty site Scored this off Facebook for $40 this morning:

I don't have anything to add, I just think monogram logos are awesome. I hope to design just one killer monogram in my lifetime.

I've been holding back on posting, don't wanna hijack this thread, but I had to share this one... why do people get rid of stuff like this!?

IMO, navy blue has zero place in their current aesthetic. The red jersey would be 10x better paired with white pants.

They really used the navy trim for the entire Bills jersey Though I guess the royal, white, and red already exist.

Scored this signed game-used Syracues jersey for $10!

Many of those counterfeit sites do offer replicas, but at the exact same price as the more expensive models, so nobody ever really buys them. I do assume its actually easier to sew and embroider everything than it is to heat press or sublinate prints, though, at least in terms of using the equipment/technology they already had.

I know it defies the standard conventions of sports logo design, but to hit the effect at play, I think it would make sense to maintain the high level of detail from the reference picture, so long as it could be simplified for small-scale application. This is a rare case where simplifying the design strips away the majority of its charm, IMO.

I had to Google him because I didn't know he died - I had no idea he was part of that KHL crash! How sad.

Highlights of the week: Already flipped the Mogilny... but that Theo Fleury!! The White Liberty has been one of my personal holy grail jerseys - nabbed it off Facebook for $15 this morning!!

This is exactly it. Some alternates were great, others were lazy, but they were all money grabs. Its certainly no coincidence that team identities went crazy right when teams started monetizing their jerseys.
