How does EPS do with these? I have heard they have a sublimation machine and can create the correct colors if they do not have them. Anyone confirm that with reference to these? I’ve had a few nameplates sublimated by EPS. They’ll usually say they can’t guarantee an exact match, but all of mine were close enough. They were all airknit; I don’t know how other materials would turn out. |

I believe nameplates were only used on the 94 jerseys for that style. The 96 and 97 (including the GI I have) did not have them.
If you haven't stripped ultrafil before you have to be careful dealing with it. If it's glued down it will likely end up being a bigger mess than the Rags' goalie situation.

They call that the stinger. They....they don't let you use that no more.

Correctamundo. 1994 was the only year with nameplates. Good luck getting that color to match too. Not even the replicas are exact. Maybe try a Mighty Ducks jersey from that era.

See now I have a 97 that someone stripped to make it look like a 94 that has the 97 lettering on the nameplate (which is currently being fixed along with the horrible removing of the Rangers patch on the shoulder)  |

I’m not saying it isn’t legit, but it doesn’t look like any pro Sandow I’ve ever seen. The mesh holes are larger than usual, and the different colored fabric panels are stitched together cheaply, like on a replica. Pro Sandows have slightly raised seams where the panels come together; they don’t just fold down into each other. The collar is not the more commonly used thicker one on the early Devils jerseys. And they should all have the white Sandow tag in the neck with red lettering. The retail Sandow authentics that I’ve seen look like this:  This was actually for sale by a former IJ member, so if he sees this I hope he won’t mind that I stole his picture. It has a big loop strap, and the thicker, more commonly seen collar. Sandow used to make some retail authentics that had features that were different from the on-ice ones, like the crests, fight straps and double elbows. I have a Leafs one that not only has a different crest, strap, and double elbows, but it also has the wrong color collar! But I know the Sandow Devils in the pic above is legit, so why would Sandow make 2 different retail versions of the authentics? Or maybe they had “Indo Sandows” back then, haha. In any case, that jersey looks really strange; maybe someone tried to spruce up a replica, I don’t know. |

Every game worn I see has the thicker collar like the above picture. Here's a white one: www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1982-game-worn-jersey-devils-jersey-507611340On the eBay listing, that fight strap looks troubling, as its not the loop style we'd expect to see. The one I linked has a loop-style attachment (also cut out), and you can easily see the difference. I also have no idea why there would be two different styles of retail authentic, that phenomenon didn't seem to happen, at least with the Devils, until the Edge jerseys. Or maybe it did. |

Good information. Glad I held off. Thanks for both responses.

Re the bolded: I could be wrong, but back in the day didn't they used to have replica, semi-pro, and authentics? From what I understand, the authentics were the on-ice models while the semi-pro's did have fight straps, but didn't have the double-elbows and were not constructed as well as the on-ice ones. I could be 100% incorrect on this as I heard this several years ago and I am quite a bit out of practice when it comes to authentic/replica jerseys. |

I don’t know if that’s true, maybe it is, but everywhere I found jerseys back in the day was just replica or authentic, no in between.
