    TXHT Jersey Share – The Protector of Gotham

     

    Today on TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at a very soecial Batman jersey from Geeky Jerseys.

     

    Knights Geeky Front

     

    This is a very special jersey to me for two reasons.

    1. This was my first jersey from Geeky Jerseys.

    2. I won this jersey from Geeky Jerseys in a Twitter contest days after I was laid off from my job.

    Having been able to win this jersey meant a lot to me. I was in a really bad place after losing my job, and winning this jersey really made me happy. Sometimes in life it’s the little things like this that can brighten your day when things have not been going well. I’m very appreciative of Geeky Jerseys, and this is a jersey I truly cherish.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – The Story Behind the Number 75

    TXHT Jersey Share – The Story Behind the Number 75

    Ladies and Gentlemen we are back with another edition of TXHT Jersey Share as we continue looking at Michael’s Churchill jerseys.

     

    Churchill Navy Front

     

    Now despite the things I said yesterday about not having the most fun of times with Churchill, it did allow me to do something I had wanted to do and that was change my jersey number from my typical 12, 10, or 16 to the number 75 and Churchill allowed me to do that. Now way the number 75 you ask? Here’s why…

     

    Churchill Navy Back

     

    The number 75 is the age of how old my grandfather was when he passed away in June 2000. I wear the number 75 out of respect to him. My grandfather was Sgt. Major Lesser Lindenbaum who fought in both World War 2 and the Korean War. He was also someone that I was very close to, and wish I got to spend more time with. When he passed away it devastated me, and playing hockey helped me get through the pain of losing him. Also when he passed away that was when I decided to change my number officially to 75.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – High School Days

    TXHT Jersey Share – High School Days

    Ladies and Gentlemen, TXHT Jersey Share is now going to get deep with the jerseys and their meanings for having them, and we start that off today with my first Churchill High School jersey.

    So for Churchill, they were the first real team I played on outside of the Skate Frederick house league, and it was a shock to know that I was originally cut as a forward only to be brought back as a goaltender, though I never played nor dressed for an actual game during my sophmore year with the team.

    Now when I got to my senior year of high school I did get into a couple games but more in spot relief which was really lame. I mean I played two minutes in the JV State Championship, didn’t face a shot, then was pulled to only have our starting goalie give up the 6th goal of th game. Yea, wasn’t fun times for me with Churchill.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Finally Champions!

    Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series we celebrate the Washington Capitals 2018 Stanley Cup Championship.

     

    Capitals Away White 2018.jpg

     

    Finally after so much torture as a Capitals fan it was with great joy when the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018. For what I originally wanted to was  get the Capitals road jersey with the Finals patch on it, and then have the home jersey with the Champions patch on it. Obviously I switched it due to jersey availability, and also it made a better concept to go with the Capitals home with the Finals patch as they played two games at home, and then the Champions patch on the road jersey because they won the Stanley Cup on the road in Vegas.

    TXHT Jersey Share – From the Rising Sun

    Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at another quality Women’s Hockey jersey from the NWHL’s inaugural season.

     

    Riveters Inaugural 2015 Front.jpg

     

    So for those who don’t follow the NWHL, which you should by the way, in the first two seasons of the league the Riveters were known as the New York Riveters before they did their partnership with the New Jersey Devils going into the 2017-18 season when they would change New York to Metropolitan.

     

    Riveters Inaugural 2015 Back

     

    For my second NWHL jersey I chose Nana Fujimoto of the Riveters because I thought it was really cool to have Fujimoto in the league as the first professional Japanese Women’s Hockey player. Also the overall design of the first Riveters jersey is very different and very innovative at the same time.

    TXHT Jersey Share – 20 Years for a Second Chance

    Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take our second look at the Adidas AdiZero line this time with the Washington Capitals home jersey, and with a little help from our friends at Cool Hockey, we got it prepared for the opportunity of a lifetime.

     

    Capitals Home Red 2018 Front.jpg

     

    I’m not going to lie, but the Adidas jerseys are really nice and probably have the best quality out of all the jerseys I’ve gotten my hands on. The fabric is one of the best I’ve ever felt for a hockey jersey, and I have quite a few authentic jerseys including a game worn jersey.

     

    Capitals Home Red 2018 Back

     

    Obviously there is no distinct changes between the Reebok version and the Adidas version for the Capitals home and road jerseys. One of the best features though is thanks to Cool Hockey, and that is the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals patch. It had been 20 years since the last time the Capitals made it to the Finals, and to have this moment was special for me and I had to get the patch on the jersey to commerate the moment.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Browncoats Unite!

    Ladies and Gentlemen it’s time to go on an adventure with the crew of the Serenity as we take a look at this awesome Browncoats jersey by Geeky Jerseys.

     

    Browncoats Geeky Front.jpg

     

    The show Firefly when it aired in the early 2000’s was poorly mishandled by Fox and was cancelled after one season. However, thanks to DVD sales popularity for the Joss Whedon show picked up a cult following that lives on to this day.

     

    Browncoats Geeky Back

     

    For this Browncoats jersey I really like the emblem for the center crest, and how they made the colors pop to make this an awesome jersey to have. Also the shoulder patches and the logo on the back of the neck are really cool and help add to the overall look of the jersey.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – Kicking Ice

    TXHT Jersey Share – Kicking Ice

    Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for another edition of TXHT Jersey Share as we take a look at this Kickstarter exclusive jersey for the graphic novel “Kicking Ice” by Stephanie Phillips.

     

    Kicking Ice Front.jpg

     

    The Kicking Ice jersey is a special one for me. I got it as part of the Kickstarter campaign for the graphic novel which is about young girls working to become professional hockey players.

     

    Kicking Ice Back

     

    It’s a basic jersey, but basic works good for this one as the sole focus is on the logo and the color scheme compliments it nicely. The color scheme also works very well for the name and numbers on the back.

     

    If you’d like to buy a copy of the Kicking Ice graphic novel, you can purchase it here.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Going to Need a Bigger Boat

    Ladies and Gentlemen we’re going to need a bigger boat as we we’ve caught us a large one with this JAWS themed jersey by Geeky Jerseys.

     

    Sharks Geeky Front.jpg

     

    Not going to lie, but when I was still playing for the Street Sharks I really wanted to wear this as an alternate jersey because it is such a beautiful jersey and it worked in regards to the team I was playing for at the time. But anywho, when you look at this jersey it really does give you a JAWS feel as the creater did a great job of naming the team the “Amity Island Sharks” which is a really nice spin on it, plus it brings the irony that a location would name their team after the very thing that is tormenting them.

     

    Sharks Geeky Back.jpg

     

    As for the jersey itself the overall look is unique. The color scheme works perfectly, and the fact that the red gives a blood effect is really cool. The Shoulder patches are honestly better than the center crest, and the names and numbers being done in blood is a really nice touch. Super awesome jersey by our friends at Geeky Jerseys once again.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – Time to Rock Out!

    TXHT Jersey Share – Time to Rock Out!

    Today the TXHT Jersey Share series is rocking out with this killer Motorhead hockey jersey.

     

    Motorhead Front.jpg

     

    So I’ll openly say it. I’m a huge Motorhead fan, and when the band released this jersey on their website I hopped on it immediately. Only regrets I have is that I never got to see Motorhead perform live, and that I never got to meet Lemmy. Came close, but was 8 months too late in regards to my trip to Los Angeles.

     

    Motorhead Back

     

    So on the front of the jersey you have the Motorhead Warpig logo, and on the back “Motorhead” with the number 75. The 75 represents the year the band formed which was 1975. Also given how the band is now based in the Los Angeles area, they used the Kings home jersey as the base for their jersey which also works really well for this jersey. Less is more definitely works here.
