    TXHT Jersey Share – Gold Medal Caliber

    Today in another edition of TXHT Jersey Share, we are going to take a look at a Replica Nike Team USA Hockey jersey that our very own Scott Fairchild got signed by the women’s 2018 Olympic Gold Medal winning team at MedStar Capitals Iceplex.

    Scott: First of all, the jersey is very comfortable as it has a Dri-Fit feel to it which is very typical of how Nike makes their jerseys and clothes. It also makes the jersey feel very breathable on you and doesn’t feel heavy or itchy at all. I’ve always been a fan of this jersey with the patriotic design and how the red stripes flowing out of the letter “S” like a waving flag.

    Now as for it being signed, I was very lucky and fortunate to be able to get the majority of the 2018 gold medal winning women’s hockey team at the Olympics to sign it. I happened to be off work one day due to a really bad wind storm which caused power outages that closed schools, and the team was visiting MedStar Capitals Iceplex (then know as Kettler Capitals Iceplex) to sign autographs and run a kids hockey clinic. I was able to get a good amount of signatures that day and I even got to hold Hilary Knight’s Gold Medal (see picture below). The team was also in town for the 2018 Stadium Series between the Washington Capitals & Toronto Maple Leafs. The whole team was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans at the fan fest before the game began as they were being honored for their accomplishment of winning the Gold Medal at the Olympics.

    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.

    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.

    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.
