About Me |
Just want to see my jerseys without all the information? Feel free to visit my Flikr page to see.
There's a reason hockey is the coolest sport on Earth. What other sport straps knives on your feet, lets you shoot a rubber disc 100mph with a stick, fist fight the other team, all while boxed in so you can't escape? Exactly, it's exhilarating. Besides all that fun, I would also argue that hockey uniforms are the best across all sports. Namely, hockey jerseys, or sweaters as they're also known as. I created this website mainly because COVID-19 has kept me inside with more time on my hands, but also to showcase my collection and the knowledge behind each jersey and player in my collection. I've been a hockey fan since I started playing at 6 years old. It's the only sport that has stuck with me for most of my life. It's a part of who I am and will be buried with me when I die. Being a collector for the last decade has also given me knowledge about something I never dreamed of but wish to pass along. Now, I wasn't always a jersey maniac and it wasn't until college that I really started getting into this hobby. I still blame my family for getting me my first NHL authentic jersey that sparked my interest in this. I started off by trying to collect an authentic of all NHL original six teams home jerseys. Then, after that was complete, I wanted to collect the authentic home jersey of each NHL team; going 30 for 30 (at that time). As this became more of a daunting task, I decided to shift my focus to my main team, the Chicago Blackhawks. I was born and raised in Chicago and luckily was raised with the team with the best uniforms in all sports. There's something about the Hawks sweater that is so timeless and iconic. As a collector, the goal of owning every Blackhawks authentic/game worn jersey since their birth is even more daunting than going 30 for 30. So I decided to focus on obtaining every On Ice Sweater (authentic jersey) for the Blackhawks since I was born in the early 90's. There's still a bit of customizing I need to do on some jerseys to get these 100% accurate, but I'm close! I have been very successful in obtaining these jerseys though, and decided to expand to obtaining the IIHF national team away jersey (dark, since it's more fun) for every country I've traveled to. Even though this has probably been the MOST daunting task for me so far, it has been the most rewarding as I've connected with people and organizations around the world. So feel free to peruse my collection of Blackhawks sweaters, whatever I have left of my other NHL jerseys, and international jerseys in my collection. Check out my for sale/searching for section as I will most likely always be in need of or looking to sell a jersey. Also please leave a comment below if you're interested in a jersey, if I've been misinformed on a topic, or you just want to say hi! I'll be updating this site as regularly as I can. Thanks! |
