rmackman Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 1993 Frank Thomas & Robin Yount. These were done at Grandstand (http://www.grandstandsox.com/) in Chicago just a block down from U.S. Cellular Field. Sorry the photos aren't that great. Took them with my cell phone: "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Those look accurate. By the way, unless Grandstand changed in the past 8 years or so, they send their jerseys to EPS in Schaumburg to be customized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Haha EPS does everything. I got ordered a Dallas Stars one from IceJerseys, and guess what the return address on the package was.V. nice, Yount and Frank Thomas own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, unless Grandstand changed in the past 8 years or so, they send their jerseys to EPS in Schaumburg to be customized.I think they do the White Sox one in house because they do all the lettering for the team. I have no idea who EPS is. Do they have a site? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.

TheOldRoman Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 My mistake, EPS is in Rockford. The website is exclusivepro.com. They doe hockey and baseball but are no longer allowed to customize football jerseys due to NFL restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryoma Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 How much was customization through Grandstand? I have a blank 90s Cubs jersey I need to be customized at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 How much was customization through Grandstand? I have a blank 90s Cubs jersey I need to be customized at some point.It varies. It was $65 for the Sox jersey, but $94 for the Brewers jersey. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.

charger77 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Maybe the Chicago lettering was cheaper because they had more in stock? PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $65 for the Sox jersey, but $94 for the Brewers jersey.Even though the Sox jersey is 3-color and the Brewers only 2?Because Grandstand does the lettering for the actual Sox jerseys, and they have the lettering for every season going back to 1975 already in stock. They had to actually order the Brewers stuff, then cut it. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.
