MisterE Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I want to get a mid-90's Blues jersey customized with Gretzky's 99 but I can't find any sites that will do defunct styles such as the font the Blues used. Authentic Lettering has the kit, but of course, they don't customize jerseys you didn't buy from them and I don't know how to sew it on myself (especially since I don't have a sewing machine.) I know Exclusive Pro is a good place to go, but I'm not sure if they can do this style. The Blues font wouldn't be so hard to make if it wasn't for the slanted block font. After Sodboy's run in with City Sports on his Jays jersey, they're out of the question.So if any of you jersey customizing experts on these boards can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fashman23 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Terry at Exclusive Pro definitely can do this jersey. He has all the fonts on computer going back to the early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I love it! I understand why Blues fans and traditionalists hated it (I'd probably hate it too if my team that was always conservative and classy added a bold new color and went to non-traditional designs) but I thought the red looked great. I liked the shoulder patches, and I also loved how they used different style numbers for each digit of a >9 number (like Gretzky's 99.) It made it so you didn't see a lot of cheaply-lettered knock-offs (at least where I was - maybe it was different in the STL area.) I was kind of on the fence about it for a while until my college roommate got one and I saw it upclose. From then on I've been a fan.I think another reason I like it was because it was only used for a few seasons, and one of those was when Gretz had his short run with the team, making a 99 jersey from that era doubly(sp?) obscure.

VitaminD Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I can't speak about the other places listed, but I can vouch for EPS 100%. They've done my old Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks (circa 1994) sweaters, and when I get a moment, I am sending them an old Capitals sweater, along with my original Sharks sweater. They've never let me down, and I have had them do 6 or 7 jerseys at this point. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
