I think as long as it isn't heat pressed. If it's glued I don't think it can come off clean.

LOVE the 93 for Bennett. 39 would've been even better, but for a dude from the Toronto area who played for Kingston, I get it.

Now with the sweet #, Bennett enters the sweepstakes (along with Backlund and Gaudreau) for who to put on my currently numberless retro before next season.

More proof that this is Treliving's team, not Burke's? I think so.

Just got my jersey back from them after turning my Bouwmeester into a Russell. It costs $40 for just the name bar. However, due to liability purposes, they won't remove the old name bar for you, you have to do it yourself (aka take it to a tailor).

I took mine to West Hills Alterations, they did an amazing job. If you look REALLY hard and close at my jersey you can kinda make out where the old name bar was (mostly because his name is so freaking long), but I was quite impressed at the job they did. So was Jersey City when I brought it in, to the point they asked and wrote down where I got it done for future clients (I guess lots of tailors either botch it or refuse to do it). It's a little pricy however, think it was $30 to get it removed.

My only complaint (which you won't have with a Bennett, at least yet), is I also got them to sew an "A" on the front since its Russell, and JC put it too low and to the right. Kinda bugs me. I certainly won't be taking my numberless retro to them when I get it done. But for just a name bar (especially where they can see and use the lines from where the previous one was), it should be just fine.

I'm going to take the name bar off myself and then talk to Fanattic/Great Plains to have it re-done. FlamesFanStrandedInEDM can likely give you better advice on it than I can.

Definitely getting 93 stitched onto my blank home jersey. Soon as Sam got drafted I was gonna save it for his number.

Pretty sure this is all you would need to remove the stitching.

Spoiler!

Who cares what numbers they use in New Jersey?


Oh.......

Yeah, that's all I was planning on using...

Sweet!!

[Vinny01]

I am sure those that bought the rare 93 Cammellari jersey are pleased they can swap the name bar with Bennett

I don't know if that would be a fit, or smart move, but that would be awesome. One of my favourite all time players.

[N26]

Klimchuk and Culkin need new numbers now

[AC]

Now that 27 is claimed I wonder what Ferly does. 79 is actually a bad ass number for him, but maybe he takes 25.

[Coach]

Sweet. Now we just need jersies that don't have the terrible flags. Seriously. It's been 10 years. Be gone wit dem!

I agree. I respect that they have ran with this set for a good amount of time but we are absolutley due for a simplification similar to what St. Louis did a year of two ago.

[MrMastodonFarm]

It's interesting that Hamilton positively mentioned the Canadian flag on his shoulder twice today. I still think they should go but was interesting.

Me too. If he had to change I would have wanted him to have 16 but 79 suites him

Don't mind the Canadian one at all. The Alberta flag is the one that needs to go.

Man alive, you're right. Its been almost a decade. Was there some sort of deal or agreement to use the flags? 10 year contract or something? Any light at the end of this tunnel?
