Question Where to get North Star socks?

I am looking for a pair of hockey socks in the NorthStars green and yellow... I checked Pro Hockey Life and they only have the Minnesota green, which is way darker. They claim the never have the lighter NorthStars green.

Has anyone seen NorthStars socks around?

hey draug

here's what i'd do - go to a local sporting good comapny and find out if they deal with athletic knit (a.k. manufactures blank replica jerseys/socks/etc.)

check this link from the ak webpage...

http://www.athleticknit.com/display_...sp?prod_id=391


i know there is a big kahuna sportswear company in calgary and they deal with a.k.

here is their addy:
Big Kahuna Sport Company
#10, 4816-35B Street SE Calgary AB T2B 3N1

talk to chris and tell him this insane flames fan from kelowna sent you - ha! ha!

I believe I saw them at the "used" sports store by my office (sorry forgot name) - corner of 20th and Edmonton Tr. NE. I'm 85% sure.

Scroll down. Lots of places online have them, unless you need them urgently that should be a pretty easy way to get them.

This is one of two places I've seen that can make any hockey sock. I can't remember the other place but it was pretty good, and a couple of guys I play with also ordered from the site I can't remember.

I think that you're thinking of "Play it Again Sports" or something similar. Drove past it the other day.

I wear a pair for men's league.

They come with authentic sweat stains, puck marks, and a few holes on the knees. If you're lucky, they might even still be a bit wet from our game on Wednesday...

I'll reluctantly let them go for $100 since they are game worn.

PM me.

How about just telling me where you bought them?

I'll check out the other suggestions as I have time in the next day or two.

I've actually had them for a really long time. I got them at a used sports store, as others have suggested. Good luck!

My old beer league team in Vancouver wore them and did a team buy, I can ask around if you want.

Its a hard sock to get, B&P doesn't have then, thats a guarentee, if you want, you can do a team order, or call the Calgary Northstars Association and ask if they have old stock left.

Well, Soulchoice seems to have gone AWOL ... I talked to him about it, was ready to order socks for my team, and then have never heard from him again...

I think I will try ordering from here (http://blankhockeyjerseys.com/index.aspx ) which is a sister site of the one that Valo403 suggested.

Does anyone have a better last minute idea?

Hey Chris,

No, I haven't talked to them. For no good reason actually, other than it's generally the middle of the night and outside of business hours when I think of this.

That picture is the same as the online place I was going to order from. I should definately call Kahuna first...

I'm pretty sure I have some of those old school ones in my closet -- they even have the heel straps.
