    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.

    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.
