    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Special Fan Submission

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, we have a very special edition of TXHT Jersey Share as we have a fan submission to the series from Joshua Benkin.

     

    Joshua: I have a Baltimore Skipjacks red road jersey when Abe Pollin’s Centre Management group ran the Baltimore Arena, as a part of the agreement the AHL team there became the Caps (Washington Capitals) top affiliate and the (Washington) Bullets (of the NBA) returned to play 4 games a year.

    Here’s a video of the jersey history of Baltimore Minor League hockey:

    Here is the Baltimore Skipjacks Road jersey when Abe Pollin managed the Baltimore (now Royal Farms) arena and they were a Caps affiliate.  Before the Caps were established my Dad and I went up to Baltimore to see the Clippers play AHL hockey.   The three main teams to play there were the Clippers, then in the late 90s, for a half season, the WHA Michigan Stags became the Blades which were a league owned place holder team and folded at season end.   Then the new Clippers came in and later had to change name to Skipjacks due to copyrights.  The last they had was the first pro team in that town to wear purple, the Bandits which were a (Anaheim Mighty) Ducks affiliate.

    TXHT Jersey Share – It’s a Beaut-y

    It’s the ladies turn on TXHT Jersey Share as we take a look at our first Women’s Hockey jersey with the Buffalo Beauts of the NWHL.

     

    Beauts Inaugural 2015 Front.jpg

     

    This is from the NWHL’s inaugural season in 2015-16, and this also marks the Beauts lone Gray jersey that they’ve worn in their team history. For the player I selected was Hayley Williams. Little known fact, but Hayley was a regular on the first season of the TXHT Podcast, and even co-hosted some episodes after the NWHL season concluded.

     

    Beauts Inaugural 2015 Back

     

    Going back to the jersey, I really like the names underneath the jersey numbers. Really cool concept, and one that is done over in Europe too. Overall a really cool jersey, and an awesome piece of history.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Ovi the Rookie

    Today on TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at this replica jersey that was purchased during Alex Ovechkin’s rookie season with the Washington Capitals.

     

    Capitals Ovechkin Home Black 2006 Front.jpg

     

    So without a doubt it’s virtually impossible to go to a Capitals game without seeing a few thousand Ovechkin jerseys in the red, white, and blue (navy), but it’s a little less for the original jerseys the Capitals were wearing when Ovechkin came into the League, but that’s also not surprising being how the majority of the people jumped on the bandwagon once the Capitals started going to the playoffs once they went back to rocking the red.

     

    Capitals Ovechkin Home Black 2006 Back

     

    This jersey is a true gem. I’m glad I was able to purchase this when I did, and this is still the only alex Ovechkin jersey that I own.

    TXHT Jersey Share – The Habs Outdoors

    Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at our third straight NHL Winter Classic jersey with the Montreal Canadiens.

     

    Canadiens WC 2016.jpg

     

    For the 2016 NHL Winter Classic it saw the Boston Bruins host the Canadiens at Gillette Stadium. For the Canadiens they did this white ensemble which is based off of their 1940’s look, with the crest being from the 1920’s. The shade of blue that is used is from 1909, and the globes on the sleeves are from 1925. Overall a really cool jersey honoring different aspects of the Canadiens franchise history.
