    TXHT Jersey Share – Going to Hollywood

    TXHT Jersey Share is going on a road trip to sunny Hollywood for a look at this beautiful Los Angeles Kings jersey.

    So funny story about this one. I actually was in Los Angeles during the summer of 2016 for a convention, and I flew into Los Angeles a couple days early so I could explore as much as I could with my friend Brian before the convention started. One of those places we visited was the Sataples Center and when we got to the team store all they had for Kings jerseys were XXL so obviously a jersey wasn’t in order, but I did get that years draft hat so I can atleast say I got something from the Staples Center. However, no matter where I went around town I would not be able to find a Kings jersey either in my sizer, or to my liking. So I bought a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey instead. *laughs*

    Though through great luck and fortune our friends at Cool Hockey were having a sale to clean out their their stock of Reebok jerseys to make way for the new Adidas jerseys, and I was able to finally secure my Kings jersey. Also through Cool Hockey I was able to get the back customized with my name and number, plus the NHL 100 Patch on the sleeve. Overall a quality jersey and great job by the people at Cool Hockey for making it possible to get this one in my collection.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – No Contact

    TXHT Jersey Share – No Contact

    Everybody today we ask that we keep the contact to a minimum as the TXHT Jersey Share series dons the Washington Capitals former No Contact jersey.

    This was a really cool jersey to get at the Capitals Fan Fest a few years ago. I was looking for an official Capitals practice jersey I could wear during stick and shoot sessions, and when I was at one of the Capitals Fan Fests they had this jersey on the rack at a reasonable price. For those who didn’t know the orange practice jersey for the Capitals was actually their No Contact jersey for all team practices. After a few seasons they changed the color to I believe a powder blue, but can’t really remember off the top of my head. It’s a really cool jersey, and I think I look good wearing it, though you can decide on that.

    As  talked about with other Capitals jerseys in this series, this is another retro design that was brought back to and works very well with both the Reebok and Adidas designs, even so that this look is currently used by the Capitals as their current alternate jersey as recently as the 2018-19 season and is planned to be utilized again in 2019-20.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – Team Neuvy

    TXHT Jersey Share – Team Neuvy

    In today’s edition of TXHT Jersey Share we have a jersey that is of a player that is a favorite of mine, despite the unfortunate series of events that have been bestowed upon him.

     

    Capitals Away White Neuvirth 2007 Front

     

    That’s right, former Washington Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth.

     

    Capitals Away White Neuvirth 2007 Back

     

    Now I know Neuvirth eventually lost out on the battle for net here in Washington and was traded to Buffalo, but I always felt that Neuvirth was a solid goaltender who when healthy is a number one goaltender. However, the story of Michal Neuvirth’s career is another story for another day. I got this jersey shortly after he was traded to Buffalo, and I’m happy to have it. I rarely buy jerseys that are of the actual players, but this one was an important to me due to my interactions with Neuvirth. He was always kind and respctful to me, and that is something that I will always remember.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – A Jersey from Childhood

    TXHT Jersey Share – A Jersey from Childhood

    Today in the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look back at a jersey that I have owned since it was first purchased for me by my father, and that is this Mighty Ducks of Anaheim jersey.

     

    Mighty Ducks Home White 1996 Youth

     

    Fun fact is that my father bought me both the home and away jerseys for the Mighty Ducks, but the major difference between them was the fact that the away jersey (they wore their dark uniforms on the road in the 1990’s) was more authentic as the Ducks emblem was sewn on patch rather than the screen print you see for this one. Still really cool, even more cool that I still have it after all of these years.

     

    Scary fact… I can still fit into this jersey…

  • TXHT Jersey Share – Heading to the Minors

    TXHT Jersey Share – Heading to the Minors

    We’re heading to the minors today in TXHT Jersey Share as we take a look at this beautiful Manchester Monarchs jersey.

     

    Monarchs Home Purple.jpg

     

    So full disclosure the number one reason I got this jersey because it was purple, and that is my favorite color. Also this a jersey I purchased from my friends Mark and John when they were doing their moving sale before they moved from Virgina to Florida.

     

    In regards to the jersey itself, I really like the overall design of the jersey as it does a few things differently comparedmost jerseys. The crowns on the sleeves to the word “MANCHESTER” on the bottom to mimicks when the Los Angeles King used to have “LOS ANGELES” on the bottom of their jerseys before moving to what they have now. Overall a really cool jersey.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – Old School Becomes New School

    TXHT Jersey Share – Old School Becomes New School

    What is old becomes new again in today’s edition of the TXHT Jersey Share series. The past two days we have looked at two jerseys from the Washington Capitals past, and today we are looking at the reintroduction of the Capitals retro white jersey through reebok as an alternate jersey.

     

    Capitals Alternate White 2012.jpg

     

    Originally brought back for the 2011 Winter Classic against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Capitals decided to bring back the original red, white, and blue uniform as their alternate jersey for the 2011-12 campaign. Honestly seeing this jersey over the Capitals then current, still current(?), away jersey has always been more appealing to the eyes, and a full time switch to this look is still very desired. Especially since 1994 and all of the jersey design changes like Reebok Edge and now Adidas AdiZero, this is a design that has been able to work on both of those jersey changes as evident with the Reebok jersey pictured above.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – A Time for Change

    TXHT Jersey Share – A Time for Change

    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls welcome to another edition of the TXHT Jersey Share series. Today we have the Washington Capitals blue eagle jersey that they switched to for the 1995-96 season.

     

    Capitals Road Blue 1996.jpg

     

    As a kid this was the first Capitals jersey I owned, though not the one pictured as the one I had a child was donated after I grew out of it. I always loved this jersey because it was so different from how all of the other jerseys looked, though the Calgary Flames and St. Louis Blues both had really unique jerseys that I liked too. However, this is one of the hardest jerseys to find along with a quality New York Islanders Fisherman jersey, and I was able to find one but sadly the word “CAPITALS” is screen printed on instead of sewn on like how my childhood one was. Overall it’s an awesome jersey and one I cherish as it was a jersey I always loved seeing it in action.
