What? Panini using REPLICA jerseys?

Adding in the fact it has a rather large radius at the top, I'd say its a jersey number. A seam near a fabric joint would have reinforced double stitching.

Agreed. I think I'm just not being clear. This is supposed to look like an NHL jersey number. But no NHL jersey number I've ever seen only has one layer of patch on a multicolored number.

This patch literally is one piece of fabric dyed both yellow and white. It then has grey stitching screen printed on to replicate the look of real stitching. From icejerseys.com. This is how an authentic numbering would look:


This is how a replica, and the numbering on my card, looks:


From a profile view, this is what my card looks like. Pardon my "art":


Am I crazy?

just an idea..forgive me if this is stupid im just thinking out loud lol

but could it be from the jaw line on the shoulder logo? Where they have the sabretooth head. It looks like it could possibly fit there

I am not sure if it will help, but I have a Pavelec Thrashers Certified card to compare it to. You can see it here

Hope it helps to shed some light.

Anyone know how Nashville numbers and letters their preseason jerseys? I remember a couple of years ago the Rangers used heat pressed letters for theirs and some of them were used in SPGU By The Letter.

Really? That wouldn't surprise me from Upper Deck. About what year was this and do you remembers who's BTL's? I thought that in the last few years teams have worn Set 1 from the start of Preseason to around New Years, but I imagine it would vary by team.

Here is one. I remember more.

I wouldnt worry about it. Like the previous poster said, patches can come off any part of the jersey.
Its not like you or anyone else would complain if it were a reebok logo or laundry tag, right?

I think I know what part of the jersey it is from. It is from the main logo. One of th borders of the logo.

On a diffrent trading card forum there is a UD dumont card with a similar question. Must be something the preds started doing on their jerseys.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing that -- looks like that answers my question. It still sucks but apparently not just panini-only.

Appreciate everyone's help!

No it is likely the Preds new jersey style. Both companies are using authentic game worn or event worn jersey's and not replica's.
