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.

WSU151 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Isn't the inaugural year patch supposed to be centered on the Russell "R"?EDIT: Actually, on the teal jerseys, the patch was low, and the jerseys were made by Majestic.

Man those unis were something, too bad they choose orange as their "primary" color for the new duds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they didn't sell those as the batting practice jerseys in the store. Most of the BPs sold in the early 90s were still Russell regardless of what players were wearing for Spring Training. Trying to find a Majestic is trying to find an actually game worn jersey. That's a lot tougher. I'm sure it had something to do with the licensing agreement. Also, the patch I got was sold at the time in the store, but the authentic one, CARL is written in black since it was in tribute to Carl Barger's death. So, I knew it was only about 90% authentic. I had it done anyway. The patch is centered properly on the sleeve. The R is what's off to the side. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

Wasn't the teal CARL used on the home pinstripes? Or did they just always use the black-stitched CARL? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Sodboy13 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 No. When I had it done by EPS (and I think I used that same photo for reference), I told them that if they somehow had teal mesh for the nameplate, that would be great, but I'd be fine if it got done sans-nameplate.

fashman23 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 EPS in Rockford is who I have used for all 400+ authentic jerseys I own. I think Grandstand is upcharging you on top of EPS' charges to them. I have that same exact Brewers jersey and Terry at EPS did it for me for $50. That was about 5 years ago so it might be slightly more but certainly not $94. The work is fantastic on your jerseys which leads me to believe it was EPS who performed the work as in my opinion, they are second to none. Along with myself, Jeff B and Sodboy also use EPS. Nothing against Grandstand, but you may want to look into using EPS directly instead of paying the extra upcharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet in this thread, but at least as of a few years ago, Grandstand sent all their jerseys to EPS to be customized. They didn't do anything in-store. Oh, and the Marlins BP's brought a tear to my eye. Such great jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhaha Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Does anyone know a place that WILL do football jerseys? I have a couple of mid-sixties Broncos throwbacks that I love, but the font is slightly off. Need a two-color MLB Block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon.Does anyone know a place that WILL do football jerseys? I have a couple of mid-sixties Broncos throwbacks that I love, but the font is slightly off. Need a two-color MLB Block.You may want to contact Triple Threat Sports. I've never had a jersey done there, but I have had them do some custom sweatshirts, and their work is first-rate. The samples hanging in the shop and the talks I've had with their employees give the impression that they really know their stuff.
