I highly recommend ordering through triple threat sports. You can get a premier and they'll have the name plate sewn on and they can sew on a stanley cup patch. The shoulder patches are still heat pressed.
If you order from NHL.com the nameplate is heat pressed, but they make it look like it's sewn on.[/quote]
Thanks, Frank.
I ordered my replica Winter Classic Jersey from IceJerseys.com in Montreal because the NHL.com was unable to put "Mikita" on the back of the jersey. Everything - except for the Wrigley Field patch - the crest, tri-colored numbers, name plate, the "C", etc. were all sewn on, though it was actually mailed from Rockford, IL, so they must hire out independent contractors to do the stitch work.
