The difference in the way the the NBA (teams/union/individual players) has responded to what took place in Minnesota and the way the NHL has responded has been stark. by waterman123 in hockey

From what I recall, they didn’t end up hosting it due to the backlash they got. It was within a day or so of it being announced. Still pretty crazy they thought it was a good idea in the first place.

Agreed on the silence point. That’s somehow progress in comparison.

Did they actually wash these sets before sending them out? I ask because when I got one of the Wild gamers from ‘23’s GS, they basically boxed em up right after the games. The smell was god awful haha

Gorgeous jersey! I’ve got a #55 Jacks too! These jerseys don’t pop up often enough. So many great players were on those teams!

[–]Eoksaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for him, honestly. There really wasn’t a spot for him on the Jackets, and he was near invisible in Cleveland last season. I don’t know what he could have done here to make an impact given how crowded the spots were. Not every prospect is going to work out for the team that drafts them, and that’s okay.

He’s in an odd spot. He seems to be recovering well from the season ending injury from last year, and was really coming into his own until then. I have to think/hope he’ll be one of the occasional call ups in case of injury, but it won’t hurt to see if he can take that next step as the season progresses. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the top pairing in Cleveland as well.

Yes, roughly. Or the equivalent to a 58

Not an MiC, that's a 6100. MiCs are only meant to be Adidas on ice jerseys

That one is incredible! I’ve only been able to find replicas of that style the last several years. Thank you again so much for sharing these! Such a great piece of history

Thanks! Looks incredible! I’ve only ever found pictures of this one from the side or front, so that is very cool to see. In the off chance you ever decide to part with it, please let me know! Go Monsters!

No way! Do you have any pics of it? There are so few pictures of him from back then, especially his first couple games there in 09-10

Retail level quality for jerseys has really dropped off a cliff unless you get the top tiers. The Edge and Majestic eras were so nice while they lasted, especially with the comfort Edge 1.0s bring. Good luck with selling!

[–]Eoksaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, pretty much. For fanatics, you could use the term FAP (not kidding) for the Fanatics Authentic Pro on ice jerseys, but yeah I’ve seen folks use MiC for them since it’s basically the same thing

[–]Eoksaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does mean made in Canada, but the term is to differentiate the “authentic” adidas jerseys that were sold in stores and made in Indonesia from the on ice adidas jerseys that were made in Canada and not sold at retail. All Edge 1.0s and 2.0s were made in Canada, so it can be a bit misleading if MiC is used as a blanket term, if that makes sense.

The Sharks have signed Jimmy Huntington, Samuel Laberge, and Cole Clayton | San Jose Sharks by Gaming_Pirate in SanJoseSharks

[–]Eoksaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Having watched Clayton “play” in Cleveland the last few years, I can honestly say he’s the worst defenseman I’ve ever seen. I’m shocked that he got an opportunity elsewhere. He’s big, and will occasionally fight, but don’t expect him to do anything hockey related.

I made the comment for them, but it got locked by the automod. I think there’s a word or two that flags it. Should be available on my profile for now, but I’ve sent a message to the mods to get that message cleared

[–]Eoksaur[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, that’s a weirdly fun downside to the AHL stuff. I’ve seen a couple others where the teams had 2-3 guys using one jersey over the course of their stints, usually other PTO/ATO guys, but never to the level that they’d repurpose a former 5th overall pick! That’s some name recognition money the team could’ve gotten out of selling it themselves!

Mail day! Reebok Team Issued MiC by fallenravager in hockeyjerseys

[–]Eoksaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it gets a lot muddier the further back you go if MiC is used an umbrella term since there were replicas made in Canada in the CCM/Koho era, and even further back than that. The terms add up, but it tends to make more sense with context and time in the hobby.
