    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.

    Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for another edition of TXHT Jersey Share. Today we have the reincarnation of the Washington Capitals old red, white, and blues being brought back for this generation.

    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…

    Klienbach, who originally played for the Whale during the 2017-18 season, is returning for her second stint with the team and second stint in the NWHL.

     

    All players will partake in the 50 percent cut of revenue from league sponsorship and media deals. Plus they will also receive 15 percent of revenue from apparel sold with their name on it.

    TXHT will continue to provide NWHL coverage as more signings are announced.

  • TXHT Jersey Share – The American Highlight Reel

    TXHT Jersey Share – The American Highlight Reel

    In today’s edition of the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look at a jersey for a player who became an American highlight reel after his performance at the 2010 Sochi Olympic Games, TJ Oshie.

    USA WCH 2016 Front

     

    This is another jersey from the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. I actually got this jersey from Modell’s heavily discounted because Team USA was eliminated from the tournament so quickly, and it was of Oshie who is a player that I like. It’s also a lot better looking than the away jersey that they had.

     

    USA WCH 2016 Back

     

    Just like with the Team Canada jersey it gave us our first look at the Adidas style for their line of hockey jerseys. Obviously the “Three Lines” are on the sides on the outer ribs, and is thankfully only seen on the NHL practice jerseys. Overall it’s a good jersey.
