ReginaCanuck Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I have a local guy who's numbered a few jerseys for me, and done a good job. I recently took him an early-2000s Canucks jersey to do in this style:He nailed the deep red and metallic silver, but the name plate colour (or color, for the Americans reading) is a bit off. ColorWerx calls it deep blue: http://colorwerx.blogspot.ca/2010/10/vancouver-canucks-nhl-team-colors.htmlHe used more of a standard navy, so it's a bit lighter than the jersey, which is most noticeable in sunlight. I asked him about it, and he said it's the closest match he had. So what I'm hoping to do is find some material in the correct colour, and take it to him to fix it with.My question is: where would I buy that? And how would I know if it's the correct colour before ordering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 The easiest way is buying older jerseys of the same design on eBay and cut it up for nameplates, such as:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-CCM-Vancouver-Canucks-29-NHL-Hockey-Jersey-Gino-Odjick-sz-XL-/350794554336?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item51acfc1be0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaCanuck Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks, that makes sense.Follow-up question: what kind of material would be needed for the numbers? I have a white jersey from the same era that I'd like to get numbered. I'm assuming the air-knit material wouldn't work for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 As far as matching to the Deep Blue goes, the Canucks used this for textile/fabrics:I do have a number of Pantone Textile sets for NHL teams, but they're hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
