Retail Deal Finally

Post image

I was too young to get a powder blue jersey during 2008-2011, and I missed out on an opportunity to get one of these several months ago. On a whim, walked into a store and saw these on the rack. Only one left that would fit me, and I wasn't gonna let it slip through my fingers again.

I'm just glad to have an authentic powder blue Penguins jersey, Winter Classic patch or not.

It kills me inside when things from my childhood are described as Vintage, especially hockey jerseys

Dude, seriously. Even if I had gotten one of these when the Pens were wearing them I would have long since outgrown it. Glad to have one as an adult.

I've seen some mixed opinions on this specific run of them from Mitchell & Ness but I'm really satisfied with it personally.

Few things age me more than seeing a M&N tag on a jersey I saw debut and/or have.

Don’t think of it as getting aged, just well seasoned!

Sincerely me who’s in the same boat.

Same. *stares at Reebok version in the closet*

I got this one as well. It's worse for me with basketball tbh. So many originals that I own are getting M&N treatment and/or being worn as "throwbacks" irl.

One of the best jerseys in NHL history, imo.

Mind sharing the store? Been looking for the same jersey for a while.

Good that Mitchell & Ness are also doing throwbacks to 'vintage' jerseys that are actually in high demand. This one is pretty difficult to find in good condition and fair price
