Knockoff Jerseys

[Chris S. 03]

Cecil's College Clothing on College Ave is selling knockoff jerseys.  The only thing worth noting is that yesterday they were $67.50 and today they're on sale for $50.  I think that's the cheapest jersey you can get anywhere. (At least that I've seen).

I'm not sure how exact they are.

What color are the sleeves?  Real Cornell home white jerseys have white sleeves; Red Wings-style knockoffs have red sleeves.  With the away reds, real Cornell jerseys have a band of red below the white stripe, while Red Wings-style knockoffs have the white band at the bottom with no red below it.

[Chris S. 03]

The sleeves are white/red/white and red/white/red for home and away, but there's still something off about them.  I've never handled or seen a game-worn up close, so somebody else will have to figure out exactly what it is.

Just looking at some photos in the archives it looks like maybe the stripes are a bit broader on the knockoffs, but like I said I can't tell for sure.

Addendum: No, it's not mesh.  The manufacturer is "Game Face Athletics", and after the CORNELL letters sewn across the chest there's a little TM in the corner.

Are they a "see-through" mesh?

Did they get the rights to use the name "Cornell"?   ::nut::

Those Koronis jerseys - it's probably just a trick of the photography, but the road jersey looks like it's too light a shade of red.

This past weekend, I stopped by the Campus Store to check out the Koronis jerseys.  They're decent quality...certainly not as heavy as the game jerseys.  And they aren't see-through mesh.  The one annoying feature is the "TM" that is placed at the lower-right corner of the "Cornell" but it's small.

I didn't even notice the TM on my Koronis jersey until you mentioned it.

Mine is personalized, and I think based on the style of the lettering and the width of the red stripes (it is a white jersey) that it is a style from a few years ago, perhaps 96-97 or 97-98.

Can some one tell me how to get a personalized jersey?  I want to get one as a present for someone.  Do I just go to the campus store and order the name that I want on the back?  Thanks for your help!

[Mike Hedrick 01]

I ordered mine (a replica) through the website, koronisjerseys.com.   (You don't see too many Larry Pierce jerseys floating around.)   I think there has been a link banner on this site lately which apparently gets you 10% off.  It does take several weeks to arrive though because they make the whole jerrsey upn receiving the order.

Not being in Ithaca, I don't know if you can do it through the campus store or not; I'm sure someone else can inform you.   (When I was at CU the only thing resembling a hockey jersey in the campus store looked about as much like the real jersey as...I can't even think of an adequately bad comparison.)  I guess they have Koronis now, as well.

Perfect Screen Printing will put letters/numbers on hockey jerseys, but I've never seen the results myself, and I have no idea about cost.

The place is back behind Wegmans a quarter mile, 245 Cherry street.

Mom replaced the removed nameplate and A from my Oates jersey at Anaconda-Kaye Sports, which was somehow supposed to be affiliated with the folks who do it for the team.

At any rate, PSP were the ones who inflicted those icky Big Red Wings jerseys on us, but if there's not another convenient way to get the lettering done...

[Josh '99]

I had a nameplate done at Perfect Screen, and am under the impression that they do the ones for the team.  Whether or not they do, mine looks good.  They charge $5 for a blank plate plus $3 per letter.

[Allie]

So it will be cheaper if I buy a jersey and then get it personalized elsewhere?

[Josh '99]

That didn't cover numbers, only a nameplate.  Not sure how much PSP would charge for numbers.
