Default Jersey's

Hey team. I am planning to buy my GF a Flames jersey for our anniversary, is there a better way to go about this? I was just planning to buy from the NHLShop online. Hows the quality from that?

I've read/heard in the past that the jerseys ordered from NHL.com are very cheap and have iron-on letters. There are places out there that are much better (River City Sports???).

Premier jerseys are replicas where Authentic are supposed to be the same as the players wear in the game.

If you're in Calgary just swing by a Fanattic or Jersey City. They sometimes have deals and you can try and guess what will fit her.

River City Sports has been a delight to deal with, but just don't sign up for their newsletter, they get sent via email all the time. But they do send you a catalog around Xmas time and that thing is great to browse while ur on the can.

I'd hit up the fan attic. If you know a season ticket holder you might be able to swing a deal.

My group just finally returned to the season's ticket club after a 7 year absence (*happy days are here again*), how does the Fan Attic determine if you are a season's ticket holder?

STH packages are sent out with a discount card that can be presented at time of purchase, in past years there was a card for every seat, but recently its been a single card for every seat under the STH name

I have seen instances where someone just presented their game day ticket as verification of seasons tickets, and gotten the discount, but that was a couple years ago, so not sure if it would be adequate anymore

Find the old one and have it destroyed by wild dogs. Then she'll really love the new one, right in time for the regular season.

I love collecting jerseys but I stick to authentics. Places I buy from are CoolHockey, Sportsk, TripleThreatSports, and Icejerseys. River City is okay but I'm turned off by the fact they never have good sales.

I bought my wife a Sundin jersey last year at her request and the replica is fine but if you were treating yourself I'd say it's well worth the price for authentic, expensive yes but there are good deals you just have to find them.

Stay away from NHL.com
