    Since you are all sitting at home bored as heck with no hockey to watch, now is a good time to dig through your attic, basement, barn, that room full of stuff... Dig out that old Huskies jersey you never wear anymore. Turn that old jersey in cash or upgrade to a new model. I have a this new offering for trade...

    Thanks,
    Ryan

      Ryan,
      When did they switch from Reebok to CCM?

        They started wearing the new CCM set last season (2018-19). The CCM is more of a "square/traditional" cut and lighter weight than the Reebok Edge version. The main difference is that the stripes on the CCM jerseys are integral to the body fabric, not a bunch of pieces of each color all sewn together. The team cut the nameplates off the original set and reattached them to the CCM set. They also removed all the neck laces, I'm assuming to reuse those as well. Kind of penny pinching to the Nth degree in my opinion, but that's their choice. I can't believe the man-hours they spent to do that work was less expensive than just putting new nameplates on the jerseys. What is a new nameplate? $10-$15ea? What is a new neck lace? $1ea? I've hear there are Tech alumni out there who will write checks to prevent this sort of work, but for some reason they rarely seem interested in such offers.


        Below is an example of the new jersey before names, numbers and neck laces were added as well as the photo the team posted on Twitter the day they started cutting off all the nameplates.

          Seeing the stitch remover makes me sad.

          I got hooked on game worn jerseys in college, as I won a couple NMU game worn jerseys my sophomore year. Both jerseys were of players who had graduated/left the team and were unaltered. Was disappointed when they started taking the nameplates off and putting graduated players on the back instead (there is a #30 Tarkki (Zaniboni's jersey) at the Berry that makes me cringe). Then after I graduated they started to just take *every* name plate off before raffling.

          Now NMU has changed their policy again, and they're retaining every jersey, not altering them, and offering the ones players aren't given/purchase for sale in a few years. I prefer the new un-altered policy, but I'm a little antsy to donate to my alma mater and get a few now.

              Do they have an open/garage sale? Or just randomly sell them online?

                Neither. Other than offering them to players/players family, they're hanging onto the rest of then for now and will offer them for sale to the public later.

                Man, when that prize closet gets posted for sale though....

                  This is a Tech Hockey forum. I will kindly ask you to stop the #NMUSucks talk before we contact the Houghton PD to and ask for the Mildcat removal treatment.

                    It's bad enough that Grampa Tony complained enough that he got the rest of the NCAA Hockey Season canceled after MTU swept them out of the playoffs...now this?

                        What's sad is that I think there has been better discussion of NMU in these MTU threads then there has been in the NMU threads.

                          Well, there's a certain poster who thinks he "owns" the NMU thread and seems to ruin it for everyone else

                                So let's say it's now October and the virus has subsided. But I haven't had it yet. Do you think I'm going to go to a Hockey game? I'm exposed there and being there is no vaccination yet, I'm not showing up.
                                I understand the NFL is considering playing with no or very few fans this coming fall.
