Cornell Hockey Jerseys?

They strip the names and numbers off which sucks.

Back then it was just names that came off. I chose #2 for Ratushny but you can tell from the size of the ghost of the old nameplate in the removed stitching that it had been Travis Bell's

Names and captaincy letters came off. Sometimes they took the ecac patch off too I think.

I have one I bought as a student and thankfully the number and ECAC patch are still on it. The jersey is quite durable, too. It still looks great after quite a number of hockey games

I've got a #12 that I'm pretty sure was Ben Wallace. People used to take them to PSP who did the nameplates initially — I never did. I have to say that the jersey is pretty comically large on a normal human not wearing pads.

MY son wears the jersey I gave him for Christmas to play adult hockey in the Chicago area.  The pinnacle of his hockey career was winning a state championship for Ithaca High School in the 90's but his jersey looked so authentic -- quality fabric, ECAC patch, the dings that come with playing time -- that someone asked him if he had played for Cornell.  He said grinned the rest of the night.

I know it wasn't cheap but I doubt I paid more than $100-150 for it in 2017 or so.

The replica jerseys aren't great unfortunately.

no need to be so harsh this looks pretty sharp for a youth jersey https://www.cornellstore.com/Hockey-Jersey-Youth-Red?location=&quantity=1&color=1&size=6

Maybe better than the real thing these days, as this replica has the lower stripe historically correct. The roads the team has been wearing are now just Red Wing blanks with the white going all the way to the bottom hem.  It's just wrong.

Was thinking of you Friday night when I noticed that the numbers this year look off too. Notice it with the 1s in particular. More pronounced curves it seemed.

Who has Kyle Knopp or Brad Chartrand's jersey and would you be willing to part with it?

I saw a Baby 21 jersey at Allstate Arena in Chicago years ago when he was playing for the Wolves.  Also saw someone wearing one at Bright-Landry about 5 years ago when Adam Fox was playing for Harvard.  Apparently foxes follow that guy around!

Wasn't there a season when the men's team used Red Wing blanks at home, with the red arms? ::uhoh::

My mom had them sew an OATES nameplate (and an assistant captain A) on my #20 jersey, but you can tell it was actually Palahicky's because they changed the ECAC patch that year.

But what is the point of taking the numbers off?  I understand letting the players keep their nameplates, but are they re-using the numbers on the new jerseys or something?

God knows, but I am glad my Lopatka and Chartrand sweaters predate the stupidity.

I don't even see the point of taking the nameplates off. A #1 Dryden jersey or a #25 Nieuwendyk jersey would be a sincere form of tribute to our HOF former players. If MLB can do it for stars like Derek Jeter, why can't Cornell do it for guys like this? ::cheer::

I think it was Andy Iles era that happened.

Heh - I have a #6 for Murray but alas, it is an Evan Salmela jersey.

I have an away #1 goalie jersey which I wear to play goal in beer league skates.  It is a CCM with fight straps from right before they switched brands and used newer, lighter materials. It is only pregame worn, though.  The year Louis Chabot wore it, I believe McKee played every minute of every game.

I pity the players that had to wear these jerseys during their Cornell careers.  As I recall, they were designed by a Hum Ec class.  The instructor should have been fired.

For those too young to know, or too old to remember - that's Bob Murray '74 and David Groulx '76.

Oops, Bill Murray '74.
