mcrosby Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 As a Brewers fan, I would go with Cirillo.I've never been fond of putting your own name on the back, but I've been spoiled with 2 of my favorite teams drafting a 'Crosby' https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 What other numbers are on the tag? Just curious. That Grissom one obviously has his name, but I couldn't tell what else it said. I assume size, year, etc.I ask because I picked up a cheap Cubs jersey long ago (from the team) that was "game issued" but not game worn. It was designated for No. 5, but that was a coach so he probably didn't go through his allotment. Needless to say, I did not go with a 5 when I put a number on it. Just thought maybe your jersey had a number intended for it.As for the MB cap, I hated it at the time. It's growing on me seeing it here, though. Loved the M caps that replaced them, though. I own the road version with a gold M. Great looking road set, IMO. You've got a nice jersey there. The green, while unnecessary, gets lost at a distance so both the cap and jersey always gave off more of a blue and gold vibe to me.And as far as mixing eras, I don't mind using the MB cap with the jersey you have - same era and color scheme - but I personally wouldn't go with a Hall of Famer that didn't wear that particular style. Not sure I helped much. If all else fails, Jaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If it were me, I'd go with Wickman or Vina....woulda suggested D'Amico too, I liked him even though he aint listed. Hell, I might've gone with Kyle Petersen, a shame that cat had to retire as young as he did, he was alright.

Camden Crazy Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Where do you send your jerseys to get lettered? I have a blank Flyers jersey that I'm trying to get lettered but I have no idea where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Where do you send your jerseys to get lettered? I have a blank Flyers jersey that I'm trying to get lettered but I have no idea where to go.Local store here in Chicago called Grandstand. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

rmackman Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well, this saga has a rather sad ending. I brought the jersey in to Grandstand, and for the first time ever, they told me they'd be unable to do the jersey. They were honest about it though. I was told they have fonts that are close to what the Brewers used in 1998, but it wasn't exact. They knew I tend to be particular about my jerseys, especially the authentic ones, so they said I'd rather not ruin your jersey than put a "close enough" font on it.I respect that. Looks like I'll have to see if any places in Milwaukee have the right fonts. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.

(Edit: the Iginla jersey in my avatar and my Canes Brind'Amour jersey are also on there. I have a problem.)I usually just wait until I have a few jerseys I'd like to get done, make the trip, and buy beers and cheeses over the border while I'm up there.
