      I actually just got my very first snag ever in one of my jerseys a few days ago, and I fixed it by following her video. It was so easy. It was a little upsetting at first that it happened, but I’ve pretty much come to realize that it’s kind of inevitable if you’re going to buy jerseys and wear them, which I totally do. It’s just part of the game.

      I just went back to that video yesterday when I had to wash a jersey. I’m always nervous I’m going to do something stupid when I wash them, so just having an expert confirm I was doing it the right way made me feel much more confident about it.

    I have season tickets for the Blues, but I still go to their physical store every game, because sometimes it feels like they opened a random box or closet and found some random merch. It also seems like the staff gets bored and reorganizes everything every few weeks. Both it and their online store, stlauthentics, will sometimes have stuff that you won't find elsewhere online.

    My favourite Leafs hat I wear all the time cost me around $80 at the time and I love it, it's a Zephyr fitted back with embossed '67 Leaf logo on a blue front with a small embossed 90's logo on the back centre and another larger printed blue outline of the '67 logo on the side on an inner white layer covered over by an outer white mesh layer that kind of gives it a ghost image look.
    About 10 years old and still looks and feels like new despite wearing it almost every day, super high quality and I have never seen another one like it over that time despite being in the middle of Leafs land so apparently it's fairly unique. $80 was worth it for such quality.
    The recent $40 printed cap I got that came with loose threads and feels like plastic and is itchy and makes me sweat badly when wearing it was not worth it, it's hard to find decent quality merch these days when they sell $5 hats for $50. Give me high quality and I'll pay top dollar for it but I'm not wasting any money on crap anymore.

    • @jongrey1916
      @jongrey1916 7 місяців тому +2

      ​@@tudormiller887 - I used to have an Ebbets Field Flannels Maple Leafs baseball team vintage jersey till a cat tore it to shreds and it was pretty nice but they didn't have any NHL Leafs merch back then and as far I can tell with a quick search they still don't so that sucks.
      I do have one '47 Leafs hat that I like for the fit and feel of it but it faded pretty badly after a few months so I'm hesitant to get anymore from them unless they're just to hang up for display. I am still debating their St. Pats hat though just because the only Pats hat I have is just a normal Leafs hat that's green with a tiny Pats logo on the side.
      That hat was bought quite a long time ago though so maybe they've improved, or maybe I just got unlucky with a bad one, I guess maybe I should give them another shot since lots of other folks think they are decent quality.

    The online store is one thing, but the store at the arena is a whole different breed of cat. At Nationwide Arena there are at least 50 different Blue Jackets hats. You can get a CBJ dog collar, checkerboard set, oodles of different jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, coffee mugs, magnets, decals, Stinger dolls, pucks, player photos, players game used sticks (most around $250, a guy like Jenner would go for $300) and that's just what I remember off the top of my head.

Easily a $200+ item even in the 1990's. They were just trying to get rid of everything. I found it by accident, just happened to be in Boston that day. So when the Flames move to their new arena, everyone head to Calgary.

    Speaking as a long time Bengals fan, I would recommend some pre-stripes Bengals stuff, when their helmet just said "Bengals". I've always hated the stripes. The helmet looks like a pumpkin, which actually has been appropriate for most Bengals teams over the years. I go back far enough with the Bengals that I have authentic pre-stripes stuff I bought when I was a kid, including a baseball cap, a wall plaque and a helmet bought from Montgomery Wards around 1971 ("not recommended for game use" as it says inside). Then I have a couple of repro/retro items, like a Ken Anderson jersey, the only football jersey I own.

    Bro. You’re right. I was on NHL shop earlier, and I actually scored a Columbus Saint Paddy’s Adidas jersey for 60 bucks, which I thought was a steal. I also got a couple things for the office like a mouse pad, a flag, an autographed puck signed by Adam Fantilli, I figured I would put on my desk.
    The team store is where you’re going to find more original merch though, no doubt. Some of it is still a little expensive though. I’m really close to ordering a tie-dye shirt from Columbus but it’s like 50 bucks plus shipping, which, normally I wouldn’t mind. I’ve just already ordered a ton of stuff this week already or I probably would’ve just done it. I still might.
