Default Random Jersey question

So that little grey rectangle with the nhl shield and jersey size on NHL replica jerseys... can you take them off without damaging your jersey? has anyone here ever tried?

They are just sewn on, shouldnt damage the jersey.

I would turn it inside out and take a seam ripper to the thread where it was sewn on from the inside. There will likely still be a rectanglish shape after you pull off the operation, but after a few washes the fabric should return to normal.

How is it you don't have a custom user title yet? "jersey czar" would work.

OK, I have another random jersey question...

On some NFL jerseys, I see a patch that has a C and 4 stars:


was wondering what that was for

For the NFL Captain's patch, the number of gold stars represents the number of years the player has been a captain. If he's been a captain for more than 4 years, the "C" is also gold.

I believe it's called a "jock tag". Check this thread for info about removing it: http://forums.icejerseys.com/index.php?showtopic=2595

I've always thought that whole concept was quite silly. Do we really need to know how many years someone has been a captain? And it isn't even mandatory (I believe the Patriots don't even bother using it).

They have captains in football?
Always thought the QB ran the show.

Coin flips are serious business.
