The 2020 reverse retro is my all time favorite jersey they’ve ever had. It’s a thing of beauty

I would’ve put John’s third in there for sure but it’s hard to argue with those three anyway

Puh Johmma over Jamma

This video is a great idea. My personal #1 pick would be the Chicago Wolves. John I love Remembrance Day Jerseys. I didn’t know that Kitchener was originally called Berlin, and changed with name during WW1. From now on I will redete to the Windsor Spitfires the Saxe-Coburg/Gotha Spitfires.

I wonder how long it took the manufacturers to stitch those variations of the maple leaf with all the jagged edges on the authentics? Or did a machine do it?

I'm surprised the first Reverse Retro didn't make an appearance. I guess you like dull gray a lot more than I do.

They shoulda made a red and black version of the classic jerseys for their reverse retros.

The Hershey Bears have never had any bad uniforms, really, have they?

Milwaukee Admirals current jerseys would definitely be a great look in the NHL, Hershey Bears CLEARLY wins this round for me!!

I laughed, I cried, I felt inspired.

Hershey's identity is second to none. Their look is so clean. Honorable mentions to the Milwaukee Admirals and the Iowa Heartlanders.

The Bears would last longer.

Toledo Walleye!!

Great Clue movie reference.

Someone on eBay has a rare blue giant sublimated angry penguin jersey the team was supposed to switch to sometime in the '90s.

National Emblem won't even make it with the correct black border?

The current Minnesota wild home jersey is so nice. Nostalgia is a disease - the north stars looked fine but I’d argue that their jerseys are a bit garish and that logo is extremely dated and actually not very good. Thinking that the Wild look better in North Stars colours is a very uneducated opinion if you ask me. It looks okay but I think it just looks ‘cheaper’ and it screams change for change sake. In terms of colour and meaning and overall branding I love the current red green and beige. It’s beautiful. Yet here we are again seeing a perfectly good identity fall victim to fan pressure. Almost all of whom have no knowledge of design or colour theory etc.

Even though I'm sick of the Bears (as an AHL fan), I would have to give it to Hershey. Not a fan of that Gulls jersey.... the current Gulls jerseys would be much more worthy.

Bears all day

I’ve always liked the white goat head better. The black shoulders look sick on the white jersey. Same thing with the white original jerseys. The blue shoulders look great on the white.

Both are great choices but that Bears is fantastic. Makes me want a chocolate bar.

I had that Gulls jersey and regret selling it to this day. Saw them play when they were in the WCHL and they had the current logo. That Gulls logo is incredible

Great and entertaining video. Glad the CHL is getting a mention, and despite rooting for a rival team, that Rangers jersey is one of the best league wide. I would also throw in the London Knights having a great look, and the Chicago Wolves.

Erie Otters would be an amazing major league look

I think Bears will lose the showdown just because it’s a boring pick since they’re like the most iconic minor league team.

To be fair, serving up a jersey in not just a cushion, but a decorative cushion is next level. The standard has been set! Bears all the way here though.

Coachella Valley Firebirds for the Utah Pheonix 🐦‍🔥

Man another Quad Cities team gone too soon (I have an authentic Quad Cities Flames Jersey from the AHL). But IMO the mighty ducks logo is a classic but a rebrand to the shoulder logo could be fun.

Stadium series blacks go hard

Love that jersey.

The Mighty Ducks logo was brilliant.

I recently got a screen-used ducks RR 2.0 from the mighty ducks Disney plus show and I’d love to share pictures with you guys but don’t have a way to message you. Let me know! I just saw the most obscure jerseys video and think you guys would appreciate it. MiC size 50 the person on eBay didn’t know what they had. The dimples are deep but don’t have the glossy embossed holes, never seen anything like it

My brother played for QC as a member of the storm. So many people still wear that crazy old mallards logo at their games

I loved the old Mallard logo. Glad they kept it

👍

Pants are such an underrated article of clothing.

Nice ! Great Job! 🏒🍁🥅😎👍🌴☀️🍁🏒

I thought the first Reverse Retro would make an appearance. I thought everyone liked it.

This is quite a rarity, but I am in almost complete agreement with what is shown here. I detest how the white runs up into the collar on the Stadium Series when the rest of the striping is a different color. The dull maroon text alternate was also worthy of a nomination here. No amount of striping is going to miraculously rescue lifeless and dull text.

numbers are too far apart, but kudos for the effort

I shouldn't have watched the video since I'm so tempted in grabbing one now. That was pretty clean for a first attempt.

That's awesome I'm gonna have to get a heat press myself

John, that mat is supposed to be there. I do a lot of t-shirt pressing with a larger version of this. You would have to check your manufacturer's guidelines but at least with t-shirts you're supposed to press it without the decal or number kit (in this case) to get the pad and the shirt both warm and flat and then do the press with the decal. If the shirt is hot/warm, the glue will stick a little bit when you put it in place before pressing to avoid the decals from moving around as you put the lid down. You should lighten the pressure enough to allow the lid to lock into place to ensure even pressure. There should be a pressure setting on the decals but the teflon pillows force you to adjust that quite a bit to be able to operate the press properly. The pad doesn't seem to be a great one. There are much better ones made out of a rubber material that will hold the piece in place better while you're pressing. When putting patches on, you should to use the small teflon pillows to elevate the patches for better adhesion and to avoid burning the jersey.

Nice work. I appreciate you sporting a different habs jersey/sweater in every segment of the video - nice little touch there 😉

Good work! Definitely use that dial on top of the plate to adjust the clamp's pressure, just so there's an even distribution than holding down the handle, especially when combining the heat press pillow and the thickness of the jersey. Yeah, echo the comment on having a sheet of parchment or teflon on top of the jersey before pressing, saves it from potentially burning the material.

Long gone are the days of quick dry fabric fusion

i have been thinking of getting a heat press to put numbers / patches on my soccer jerseys since sending them places isn't as avalaible as hockey.

Pretty good. I would recommend placing a large sheet of paper over the jersey when you press, it will grab the glue and allow you to go high pressure & temperatures. Also recommend a large protractor will give u a nice straight edge for calculating lettering. I work in a store that does this type of customization and lots of fans come in & scoff at the idea of glue on jerseys vs stitching but little do they know alot of jerseys players wear on ice have both. Well done.
