Is It Suitable to Play Ice Hockey in a Nhl REPLICA Jersey? Would It Rip or Anything?
It is suitable, however you do still have a slight risk of messing up the jesrey in same way or form. A skate may cut/rip or someone’s tape from their stick may mark it up, etc. I wouldn’t wear it, so you don’t potentially ‘injure” it and so it stays fresh for when you want to wear it out and about. Most jerseys now have them if not all do have the small holes for light weight and for ventillation.
yes, thats why its a jersey, not a shirt
I have worn replicas many times to play . No biggie. Jerseys of all can and do rip at times. That happens. I usually wind up with puck marks on the jerseys more than holes . They are very durable
it’s fine, but the constant washing form dong that makes the logo rough up on the edges. Won’t look as nice, but won’t be bad either. And it’s not a mesh like this,
But an air knit, like this:
The fabric is a air knit, which is meant to be worn on the ice. Not all do, but most do. The air knit helps keep you cooler. That was the big complaint some players had about the RBK edge jerseys- they didn’t have them. It got hot, and they went back to the air knit.
What’s better though if you don’t already have the jersey is to buy an uncrested NHL jersey. These are the Authentics minus the fight strap and logos, and are on sale most places.
But the Replicas are authentic minus reinforced stitching, and fight straps. And the logos are glued and not sewed. New (RBK edge) are made of different fabric though, those aren’t as good, the’re hotter. Fit’s nice though.
Short answer: Yes, they’re fine, The CCM replicas are great and the RBK Edge replicas are a little warmer, but still fine.
Jerseys are no different than clothes, even with the best care they will show signs of wear and tear over time. Otherwise why did you buy it?
