For most of my jerseys, I just put my own name on them. I'm not getting traded!

I bought the Baertschi jersey when it was half price after the lockout.

My previous jersey was a Phaneuf jersey.

That in its self has to be a playoff record.

If anyone has a Zalapski Pedestal jersey, I'm in the market.

Freaking awesome. Hometown hero for me. His name is still on many track and field records for Trochu Valley Highschool.

This thread makes me want to track down a red pedestal jersey and get #24 Iginla on it. Or maybe #8 Bure.

I have a Blackhawks #21 Stan Mikita buried in some box in the basement.

I want it.

Red Phaneuf #3 (2005-06). I don't wear it anymore, but can't say I regret the purchase. His rookie season was (and still is) remarkable.

Red OLEG SAPRYKIN #19 (2003-04). To commemorate the return to red, and to wear during our first year as season tickets holders, my brother and I went full young guns: he got a red Kobasew #7 and I a red Saprykin. I had no inkling when I picked up the jersey in September that I would be wearing it proudly at a game in Tampa Bay in June as Oleg frickin' Sapyrykin scored the OT winner of game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Obviously, I regret nothing.

Every other jersey I buy is a regret:
First jersey - classic home white Otto
Second jersey - horse head Savard
Third - Kiprusoff away white (I also picked up a Kiprusoff Finnish national jersey when I was in Helsinki for work during the 2004 playoff run).
Fourth - Phaneuf home (think I'd tape it over with "Traded for Matt Stajan" now...)
Most recent - gifted a Brodie classic red.

32 seconds in Game 3 vs Detroit, then 5:11 in Game 4.

The 5 minutes doesn't look crazy compared to Potter and Wotherspoon, but 32 seconds... hahaha.

With the updated new Jersey's coming out for the '06-07 season, I ordered a couple as a STH. The one I regret, from sure arrogance perspective, was a home one I got made up with 'The Cup' in the name bar and the numbers '07.

Tough to fix/change that one, Lol.

[CaramonLS]

IIRC I think someone on this board bought a Lynn Loyns Jersey.

Wow. Read that as 16-17 season. Thought you had some insider information.

[PrettyBoyFlizzy]

I got two Iginla jerseys after he got traded, I bought a nameless jersey. I realized before its not about the name on the back it was about the team.

The sad part is they think it's bad ass! Haha

I'll prove it with a pic later but there was a girl wearing a "sweetie 69" jersey at game 6 and boy did our couple rows had a good laugh at that.

The best one I say was Bollig 25 jersey at National before the game. That was impressive.

[SofaProfessor]

I let one of Rene Bourque's famous short hot streaks fool me. I honestly don't know if ever saw anyone else ever wearing his jersey.

I cringe just typing that.

[Phaneuf]

Ian White #3 :/

No jersey regrets here, and have some ones pretty proud of.

Now that the 2004 ones are getting dusted off, "04 - Bandwagon" was pretty appropriate as one of which I saw on Saturday.

Worse than people putting their name on (likely in many of those cases, its a family member getting one for another member as a "cool" gift), is companies putting their name on the back along with the #1. Clearly then auctioning them off/giving to employees/giving to clients. Something to be said for the person wearing that "Jim's Electric - #1" jersey as well, but for them, a Flames jersey is a Flames jersey; they wouldn't have spent $110 on it themselves, but for free? Sure.
