You can ad me to the list. 19 Sens jerseys and counting. Im in Nanaimo B.C. right now and I'm closing in on a Greening Clippers jersey and a Turris Burnaby Express. An obscure piece of my collection is a Dave McLlwain Kolner Haie (Cologne Sharks) from Germany ....oh and none of my jerseys are fakes!
DAMN. I used to even LIVE in Burnaby, AND saw him play for that team... I wish I had had the foresight to get an Express jersey while I was there. Hindsight being 20/20, and all that. No way to know back then that Turris would someday be a Senator. Even getting a blank Express jersey would be cool now, I could just have it crested...
And you're the first person I've met who has more Sens jerseys than I do! I'm at 16 and counting... my overall jersey collection is almost over 200, though. I'm spreading it out over the league.
I don't think we should have a thread supporting the illegal reproduction of jerseys.
They look like trash and if you can't afford a real jersey then why don't people just buy one of those t-shirts with the player's name and number on the back.
Anyone have any experiences with Jersey personalization? My Blank [legitimate] one I'd like to get Karlsson or Greening on but I don't want it to look like garbage. Jersey City claims they can do it but I dunno

If you're getting it done locally, The Clubhouse (Kanata, Merivale Rd, Rideau Center) has the best QUALITY cresting, but they're more expensive than most other places.
Ottawa Sports Gallery used to be good at cresting, but someone told me they use a different crester now, and they're not as good.
Sens Store are pretty ok. Nothing great, nothing bad. Average price.
If you're sending it out (via mail), River City Sports is probably the most RELIABLE. There are a few places on the net that will charge you less, but are slightly sketchier.

I live in BC so none of those places ring a bell haha. There's only a Jersey City and some local sports shop I'll never deal with that do it near me.

I'm looking to get a few jerseys numbered as well but I had a bad experience with The Clubhouse. I don't know if it was just because they changed up the jerseys a bit during the lead up into the olympics, but when I bought my jersey from them the Nike swoosh was in the wrong spot/wrong colour and the "A" was way too low.

Oh yeah?
I spent two+ years in Vancouver (Burnaby/ Burquitlam, to be specific) while my wife did her masters at Simon Frasier. Lived right near Lougheed Mall, if you're in the Lower Mainland I know a GREAT place you can take them too.
Let me remember their name, might take a few minutes. I'll get back to you.
*EDIT* Cyclone Taylor Sports
They have a few locations in the lower mainland. I had two jerseys done by them, I brought them to their location on Clarke Road and they did AMAZING work, but they seem to have locations in Richmond, Surrey, and elsewhere.
I haven't lived in Vancouver since 2007 though, so if they're run by a bunch of douchecanoes now, I'm only vouching for the 2007 era of that store.

Huh. Which location did you go to?
Clubhouse wouldn't have had anything to do with the swoosh, BTW, that's a Nike problem, nothing the retailer can do about that.
As for the "A", should've just ask them to reposition it. I've had good service from them in the past, they're usually very accommodating. It's definitely possible to do.
I came to see what I thought would be some aesthetically pleasing authentic jersey's. This thread has disappointed the heck out of me. Those are the ugliest knock-offs I have ever seen. If this thread was charging money, I would ask for mine back, plus interest.
If you're going to spend $100, spend an extra 50 and at least get something that looks somewhat proper. But this is coming from someone who wont buy a jersey unless it is authentic. So I suppose I'm a bit of a stickler for quality.

I got it done at Kanata location and haven't had another jersey numbered before. I figured with the white material if you moved anything that had been stitched it would make a mess.
I'll have to give them a shot at my red jersey before I'll look at getting the heritage jersey done.
How pissed off is your wife that you're using up all the closet space?
I actually started selling some of my jerseys on ebay, minus the Sens ones, which ill be keeping forever. Just sold old LA Kings yellow and purple authentique, Bruins Pooh Bear, and Lightning old rainstorm third.
I have a Karlsson heritage authentique on order from jerseyexpress, although my one buddy is pissed at them right now because they effed up his Flyers winter classic hardcore, apparently the name/numbers are supposed to be felt, and they put the replica numbering/name on it, even though it's an authentique jersey, he had to send it back.
How pissed off is your wife that you're using up all the closet space?
Not pissed at all, I picked up some Ikea "modular" closets ("Pax" closets) to keep them in, in my hockey room. My jerseys don't encroach on regular closet space at all, that's for her.

I am the jersey collector among my friends but I have a handful compared to you guys.
I have 5 Leafs, 2 Sens, 1 Flames, 1 Pens all crested. I also have Guns N' Roses (G N' R #06) and blank Toronto Blue Jays hockey jerseys and a handful of practice jerseys. I have a knockoff Ovechkin that looks ok on the outside but like garbage on the inside.
I have owned and sold pro Habs (CORSON #27) and 2000 All Star (SUNDIN #13) jerseys. I decided I don't need a $300+ jersey hanging in my closet and don't love the way they fit.
My uncle is also a collector (he has around 30) with 4 or 5 Flames jerseys as he spent the last 10 years in Calgary.
My oldest jersey is 12 years old. How long have you guys been collecting? Do you wear hockey jerseys all the time, or do they spend most of the time in the closet?
this are all jerseys ive bought in mexico for 25$ lol. except the sens ones.
since then i only added a red edge replica sens. (that i cant find................)
and recently a fake heritage sens. (which im even more happy after seeing some other fakes)
I've had some friends order jerseys from borntrade and they were pretty bad.
I've ordered once (2 jerseys - Not sens) from ecseller and I was actually pretty surprised by the quality. My Eberle jersey is better quality than the replica one that my friend bought from nhl.com.

Collecting... 12 years, or so? Probably around then.
Well, I guess I've been collecting since I was 6: my dad always got me a jersey for Christmas as a kid, but those don't count, I don't think.
I used to wear my jerseys ALL the time, but less so these days: wearing nice jerseys around your 2 year old daughter is just asking to ruin said nice jersey.
I added to my collection today. Love 'em or hate 'em, I've always wanted an Islanders fisherman jersey. I've seen many come and go on ebay: Palffy, Berard, Clark, Soderstrom, Sevigny. They all sold for >$200 which was my threshold. Today I landed an XL Clark for ~$200 total. Palffy was my first choice but there is nothing wrong with Leaf propaganda.
I too have a $hitload of jersey's mostly authentic, and a few knockoffs!
I wear all of my jersey's to pickup hockey/outdoor hockey, except for a few signed (rare) Pro jersey's, that I might wear, but not while playing Hockey!

My wife say's it's a disease....
Visiting my uncle in Calgary 2 summers ago and seeing his collection really validated mine. He had well over 30.

Dangggg.... You should post them sometime lol
