Looking for anyone with game worn Canucks skate logo jerseys from the early-mid 1990s who can confirm measurements for the numbers, namebar letters and the 'C' or 'A'. (Maybe a thread with these details for all teams and eras is something that could be put together by the group as a source of information. New board, new idea?)
——————————————————————
Definitely a good idea, this thread will be perfect for that.

I looked at this and thought it strange that Gretz didn't have hem tagging and was untucked. Doesn't even look like single CCM on the hem. Anyone see anything like this before?  |

Anyone ever hear of a customization style known as cowboy cut? I think it’s a type of kiss cut but when I asked Josh at EPS about customizing my 2005 Pooh Bear Bruins he said it’s cowboy cut, and that I could declare that on the order form.
The kit is black white black in appearance if it were layered, however I believe it’s just a black bottom number with a white “frame” overlay. I thought it was just kiss cut but maybe not?

I’ve never heard that expression “cowboy cut” before. The Pooh characters are neither layered nor kiss-cut. They are single layer black twill, with a white inked outline applied to them, with white thread sewn through the white strip.

I know the Dallas Cowboys do that for their navy jersey. They started wearing those in 1996 I believe, so that may be why they are called that. I know the Maple Leafs did that with their Nike round numbers. Although I am not sure when the Bruins started doing it. I am guessing that the Cowboys were the first to do this method so it just got referred to as "Cowboy Kiss-Cut".

I’m reasonably sure Custom Crafted started doing the Bruins’ jerseys that way in 1995/96, the first season of the Pooh Bear as well as their new style home/roads with the long shoulder/sleeve yoke. |

I was wondering about that, because I saw that the Bruins went to that style in the 1995-96 season. So they would have beat the Cowboys by a year. Must be something that EPS started calling it, but it certainly is an interesting way to make a 3-layer look without adding additional twill. I guess it would make the jerseys a bit lighter too for the players. Are there any NHL teams that still do this? I know the Cowboys still do it with their Navy jerseys. |

The Bruins' current numbers are single-layer twill with the inner color sublimated on and a layer of stitching applied to make the inner color look like a separate layer.

I know the Maple Leafs did that with their Nike round numbers. I didn’t know about the Leafs doing that on the Nikes. After looking at a couple of examples, I can see a printed strip on the base twill layer, but it also looks like a layer of twill on top of the strip, not just stitching. So I’d just call it kiss-cut, no?   |

Here is how the Cowboys navy jerseys look. Single layer of white twill, Navy "ribbon" making it look like a three layer stacked twill. Apparently the same way the Bruins had theirs in the mid-to-late '90's. This is what EPS calls "Cowboy Cut".  |

Awesome thanks for all the input on the Cowboy cut thing, thought maybe Josh was messing with me. What I gather from what LAK says is for the Bruins it’s actually a dyed white stripe on the black number with with stitching needlessly sewn over the stripe. So it’s in fact one layer of sublimated twill made to look like 3 layers.
Honestly if EPS does it with the twill overlay on the black as a kiss/cowboy cut I’m fine with that. I’d way rather send it to EPS and it to be close to perfect with perfect craftsmanship otherwise than deal with CC. You know you Always get a matching nameplate always with EPS too.
