Just picked up a Monahan Retro at the fanattic and I have a couple of notes:
On the collar, I feel they could have used white threading to stitch the yellow portion of the collar. This would have used a modern adidas collar template, with more of a shout out to the original.
To me, it is the perfect mixture of old and new. I like the adizero template, and with these retros, it just works. These jerseys should be worn full time, without a doubt.
They do not have the same "speed hole" template as say; Pittsburgh or Boston where there is a rounded segment off the shoulder. They are the normal template that we have on our regular set.
The white portion of the "C" Crest has an embroidered outer edge. I am assuming they did this to make the Crest "pop" out more, in a way. This, in direct contrast with the gold outer layer.
The fight strap is a nice touch. The jersey, while still a replica, still does a good job making you feel as though it is the real deal.
Personally, I love the collar. The shiny logo, and the way the two gold borders meet it in the middle looks awesome.
