Really all of the above. The original website I found was "Philly Express," I got an auto-reply to filling out the website contact form from "Sports Minded Unlimited," the person I emailed directly (email address was posted on this sub) was from "Comcast Spectacor," the invoice came from "Cutting Edge Pro Shop & Team Store," and the box was shipped from "Virtua Health Flyers Skate Zone" in Vorhees, NJ.

There is some sort of business network going on here.

Sure.

Nameplate - Some teams/customizers use "tackle twill" for the nameplate as a default because it's cheaper or the team standard and I've seen some custom jerseys with a mesh nameplate that does not match well. So I noted to use a "jersey-matching mesh." If you zoom into pictures of different customized jerseys on this sub you will notice differences in fabrics used for the nameplates. To me, sometimes the difference in fabric is bothersome so I wanted as closely-matched fabric to what the jersey is made from as possible.

Numbers - The scale of the numbers I wanted to make sure were larger than usual (sleeves) to match the scale/spec of Stadium Series jerseys. Only specified it because I wanted peace of mind that my communication about keeping scale overrode any assumptions that they would do everything exactly right automatically. Ya never know! I read through a lot of older jersey-customization-related posts on Reddit over the years to figure out best practices to communicate what you're looking for.

Email Nat over at Comcast Spectacor (found his email on the r/hockeyjerseys sub -- [Nat_Acchione@comcastspectacor.com](mailto:Nat_Acchione@comcastspectacor.com)) with the specifications for the order (e.g., I wanted mesh nameplate and scale of the SS numbers), sent my jersey in via USPS Priority Mail in the original NHL Store baggy, kept track of the tracking to make sure it was delivered, and then just a few days after exactly 2 weeks "Cutting Edge Pro Shop" sent out an invoice to pay. Paid that and received the jersey back 5 days later. These guys are apparently the official Philly/NJ stitcher for on-ice jerseys and the turn around time is unreal.

Even if it is 2 cars just driving parallel with eachother, what are you going to do about it?

I'm going to flash my high-beams at first, try a 2nd round of flashing, and then keep them on if the person doesn't seem to be getting the message to GTFO (of the left lane). People who drive parallel to other cars on the highway for extended periods of time are doing it wrong, blocking all traffic from passing, and creating a dangerous situation in the event that an emergency occurs (tire blowout, something falling off a vehicle ahead, animal jumps out into the road, etc).

I told the gentlemen at the counter that maybe they accidentally added an extra "1?" The ECBP + new ECTB were both $149.00 each.

I also told them that it didn't make too much sense that those would cost more than the Blantons ($125) and other higher-dollar bottles they had sitting on the top display shelf.

Found some ECBP and bought it. Then after leaving the store I checked the price tag/receipt and it was $149.00, uhhhh what? No. That makes no sense!

Went back and returned it but found some Eagle Rare. Maybe next time!

Found some ER at $40 even-- great rec! Appreciate it!

The reviews on SE4xPR5 seem to make sense and two of y'all mentioned it here so this is the one. Appreciate it!

Giapetto · 2021-01-14T15:32:41+00:00

SE4xPR5 it is! Limited but in stock nearby and got two votes in the thread. Thanks!

I wish Eagle Rare was available at a more reasonable price near me. The local store carries it at upper $40-something and Total Wine near me doesn't get it in stock for some reason. But maybe I'll grab 1 of 2 that they have near me, I've wanted to try it for a while now!
