Someday maybe I will get one of the current 3rd jerseys ... with my own last name and the number 6 on it.
Seems to take care of problems with being traded... oh sure, you have to answer questions about why '6' - and well, when I played in my first league (Hockey North America there in Chicago)- playing LW ... hoping for either 20 or 9 or 28 ... etc... and the jerseys came in ... with randomly assigned numbers...
I got 6... 6 ..... you know I think Russ Courtnall wore 6 and played forward ... but no one else I knew of ... 6 ?!
I still haven't recovered from that .... oh sure- rationalise it as an upside down 9 ... but yeah - I have been damaged by it...
That plus the only halfway decent player to wear 6 for the Hawks during my time watching them was Bob Murray ... so it isn't like it is 18, 35, 1, 3, 21, 9 -etc... so no one bugs me about it.
Still in all, I could eventually use a current alt jersey like that ... and they don't generally ship that sort of stuff to Australia... due to agreements with mfg's (also ends up making hockey gear in Oz expensive as all... )
