Some great steals on ebay and some from when I was a kid. Shit. 50 !! This is sick. I only own a 100th anniversary Cammalleri jersey (which was a Tanguay before I paid 25$ to make the switch) a Komisarek jersey, an old CCM one a nameless Oilers 3rd jersey, ( http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pO781BOOmM0/TbArH0a28xI/AAAAAAAABgU/lUQMH8KW3rg/s1600/oilers_big.jpg ) I bought it back in the days when I respected this franchise. That's it... I have 5-6 soccer jerseys though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to stop reading after the barber poll one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 I had to stop reading after the barber poll one I had to get all of them that year. And hey the Barber poll doesn't look so bad on its own. When added to the pants and socks the players wore, it looked like shit, but just a jersey with jeans its not so bad. Not good, but not so bad.

If it hadn't been for the catastrophic injury to Lang - the trigger for the disastrous collapse in the second half of 2009 - we'd probably remember the barber-pole outfits with wry amusement as a comical slice of Habs' history, instead of wincing with pain at the very thought of them. Sadly they've come to symbolize one of the most disappointing seasons any of us can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeLassister Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yeah the darker red with the CA I love that one! This is the one I bought with Tanguay behind . And then paid 25$ to turn it into a Cammalleri . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could put your own name on the back this year? Or how about Gomez or Kaberle, and hope the trend continues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Perhaps you could put your own name on the back this year? Or how about Gomez or Kaberle, and hope the trend continues? In my very humble opinion, cuz I know other guys who love it, having your own last name behind a pro sport jersey should be illegal and punished. Having your last name + #69 should equals capital punishment. I actually like Kaberle and won't do it with Gomez either cuz I have an avatar bet going on with JMMR about Gomez...

Agree 100% only way you should have your own last name on a jersey is if you are given the jersey from the team as a gift. Not from anyone else. Yes 69 is just a hilarious # but people who get it on their jerseys usually would be quite simpleminded. (I am surprised I do not have one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 You can also have your own last name on a jersey if one of the players on the team shares your last name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This is the one I bought with Tanguay behind . And then paid 25$ to turn it into a Cammalleri . I've said it before and I'll say it again. The ONLY names to get on the back of a jersey are those of retired players or guys who have already enjoyed very long careers with the Habs. The 'stars' of today are all too often traded or decamp as UFAs. Sometimes, as in Cammy's case, the situation sours and you'd rather forget about them. The exception to the above principle is that rare player who has a special aura or particular sentimental appeal. E.g., a Kovalev jersey will never stop being cool even though he only played with us for four seasons, because Kovalev himself was such a card. Halak becomes a special statement about one dramatic playoff run and possibly a symbol of your defiance of trading him. But jerseys like Higgins, Komisarek, Huet, etc., just look stupid now, and the same will prove true for an unclear number of guys on the current roster. So the rule is, use the rearview mirror only when picking a jersey number. Never choose based on current or anticipated future status with the team.

I'd say to buy a Galchenyuk jersey now is a pretty good bet. Same goes for Price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 You'd think so, but let me know how that José Theodore sweater is working out. I love telling the story about how my friend worked so hard one winter saving up for a Leafs sweater. He wanted it so bad and it was the player he just KNEW would be a Leaf for life. On March 4, 2003 he got his Alyn McCauley Leafs sweater. The next day? He was traded for Owen Nolan. I once mentioned that in a message board and a guy told me the same thing happened to him, only the sweater he bought was Brad Boyes.
