b0r0n Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I can attest to the Oilers stuff being hot. I was trying to get a Youth Oilers jersey for my nephew. In Edmonton, I checked all the official Oilers merchandisers in town, plus any other generic sporting goods store and none had any. At the game I found one.. just one youth L jersey. In the entire city. A year ago, if you walked into a sporting goods store, you'd be tripping over them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Boy Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I just can't believe that merchandise sales of NINE TEAMS are up by triple-digit percentages. NHL merchandise sales of a year ago must have been dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn89 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 People are just trying to get the good jerseys before RBK ****s everything up for next season. That's all it means.And for the record, I think anyone who buys a hockey jersey from NHL is an idiot. I found a place that sells the exact same jerseys with customizing that run $20 to $30 bucks cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Does anyone out there own one of the current practice jerseys that are form-fitting, if so how well do they fit you. I'm tempted to wait until next season to get a Lightning jersey and was wondering how they felt and fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Does anyone out there own one of the current practice jerseys that are form-fitting, if so how well do they fit you. I'm tempted to wait until next season to get a Lightning jersey and was wondering how they felt and fit.I've tried on the RBK "swift" practise jerseys. (I would heartily buy a Ducks one if it was available here). While made of a different material, they fit exactly the same as a regular polyester NHL replica of the same size. (Although that silver piping that runs down the sleeves is more like a long strip of reflective plastic.) If you want a comparison of each jersey style, just use the zoom feature on icejerseys.com.IMO, the blue Leafs practise jersey is one of the best Leafs jerseys I've seen period.--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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
