OOOOH YEAH! DIG IT!

Washington vs. Houston, 1971. Only time this matchup happened:

I don't know what it is, but I love those Oilers uniforms.

*sigh* No pictures, again, sadly, but in 1977, their second season of play, the classic-getup Seattle Seahawks met the white-helmeted Buffalo Bills for the only time. Both teams made a few changes to their uniforms by their next meeting in 1984.

Black and white doesn't really do it justice, but here's that matchup-

Seahawks with stripes on the sleeves and grey facemasks; Bills with blue pants and blue facemasks. Nice.

Hell. Yes.

I think you mean "OOOOOOOH YEEEEEAAAAHH!"

Oh, that's a good'n.

How about Mark Rypien...Philadelphia Eagle?

Two years before their move to the NFC (and getting new uniforms); the Seahawks (in the 1980s-era set) met the St. Louis Rams (year one of the 'modern' set). I have yet to find a pic of this.

Also odd about this matchup, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the Rams are using regular block numbers, when they ended up using a different typeface a year later. Furthermore, the Seahawks are the home team here, playing outdoors at Husky Stadium. Here's a link to the Getty page with a few more Seahawks/Rams photos.

I have looked, but to no avail. There are no pictures of Halak in a Sabres uniform.

Did you take that yourself? Because I looked EVERYWHERE.

I did not; I saw it earlier when I read he was traded, and was confused because he had just been traded. This is the nature of the 2014 NHL trade hootenanny. Yes, hootenanny.

Also, habsfan, how does something like this not "count"? He was listed, and dressed as the backup goaltender for a regular season NHL game.

He's got a uniform and everything, it's really great!

Wronger:

Gotta be careful putting on those Bruins jerseys; the collar really digs into your neck.

This is weird.

For those that are debating buying a $30-$40 knock off or the $100 replica jersey I will put it to you like this.

The quality of the material on the knock offs are just as good if not better than the replica. Nike makes all of their products in third world countries just like the bootleggers but unlike the bootleggers they have a high overhead to cover with licensing, advertising, and endorsement deals. Also, while you can tell a knock off from an authentic upon close inspection you can spot the "cheap" replica a mile away.

I LOL'd

If I'm not mistaken I'm thinking this guy is on here just to promote that site that he is likely employed by, or runs himself. If they are of higher quality than the licensed ones then why on earth not charge more? It is better product after all no? I'm also pretty sure you don't need close inspection to see that the colour of a jersey is incorrect, or that the logo is 10 times to big.

This one takes some close inspection to spot any differences. Clearly better than anything legit the NHL has ever produced. (If you look very carefully, you might be able to spot a slight mistake)

I LOVE the Ɔalgary Flames!

I hate purple and teal.

Boy are you lucky it's not 1993.

Not sure how unpopular this opinion is, but I always liked the Colts' helmet paired with the white facemask. Same goes for the Patriots' old white helmet.

eBay - Thrashers jersey

Not sure if this belongs here, I just wanted some opinions. Does this jersey look like the real deal? The crest looks a little small to me, and obviously the price threw me off. Of course, it is on eBay and it's an auction so maybe the seller started low, I don't know. Anyway, if anyone can help me out, that'd be awesome!

That's legit if it's a replica. I've got the same Jersey and it matches up exactly. Just hope the pictures are of the actual Jersey being auctioned off. BTW I love my Thrashers jersey

Very nice, thanks! I searched around on eBay, and this auction's pictures were different from others, so it doesn't look like they've just copied what's out there/use official nhl graphics.

I'm a new Jets fan and I was a fan of the original Jets, and when they moved, I bought (or was gifted; can't remember) an original Coyotes jersey, so I feel like now I should complete the cycle... or something like that.

To me, Gaborik looks wrong not on the injury list. Somehow when he signed on with New York, the guy turned into Wolverine..

Also, those green Wild jerseys are the bee's knees.

I can hear it in my head every time... THIS is the instructional video that gets results!
