My Disappointing Jersey Collection
I'm not sure why it took this long.
The other night I mentioned via Twitter my intentions to buy a blue 2011 All-Star jersey. And that I hoped Steven Stamkos would get picked for that team so I could customize it. Then someone asked about the extent of my personal jersey collection.
All right, I admit it. I know full well why it took this long.
Some might say I write a somewhat popular blog on the topic of hockey jerseys with a rather nerd-like knowledge. And as such, it would make sense that I have an extensive collection of sweaters of my own. This might surprise you, but actually... I don't.
At present, I own just five hockey jerseys — all replicas. Perhaps due to that revelation, there was enough of a response on Twitter that I figured I'd share them and the reasons they're in my closet. However humiliating.
As my headline warns, prepare to be disappointed by my feeble collection — half of which you'll expect, half of which you won't. And to delay the embarrassment I have coming, I will be presenting them in reverse chronological order, starting with the newest.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Third jersey (2008—2011)
It shouldn't surprise you to learn that half of my meager collection is made up of Lightning jerseys. As I've said many times, I'm a true Bolts fan and have been since the day Phil Esposito and some Japanese guys brought them to Tampa in the early '90s.
When this third jersey was revealed in November 2008, it was widely criticized on this very website for its pedestrian crest. BOLTS? On the front of the sweater? I wasn't even sold at first. But it quickly grew on me. I call them the Bolts all the time. Why can't the jersey say that?
But the most important factor? I've wanted a blue Lightning jersey for years. There's nothing wrong with black, but blue is just as important in Tampa Bay's color scheme. Why had we gone so many years without one? So when it finally happened, I had to have it.
Now that it sounds like my Bolts are going with blue at home, I'm just beside myself.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Home jersey (2007—2011)
If you've been a reader since the beginning, you'll remember I posted pictures on the blog when this jersey arrived. That was Sep. 20, 2007, not long after the Lightning first unveiled the sweater. That was the Summer of Reebok. And nothing has been the same since.
Believe it or not, I'd never owned my own Lightning jersey prior to that. I haven't needed to. In the handful of seasons leading up to the Lightning's Stanley Cup championship, my dad used to buy game worn jerseys, some of which were even autographed.
He picked up Nikolai Khabibulin's No. 35, Tim Taylor's No. 27, and Brad Richards' No. 19 to name a few. During that incredible Cup run, I wore the Richards jersey to every game. I was devastated when they traded him in 2008. (Glad to see him back on Marty St. Louis' team for the All-Star Game — although annoyingly sharing Stamkos' No. 91.)
Anyway, when the new jerseys were unveiled I had to have one to properly represent my team. No other reason needed.
Florida Everblades (ECHL)
Road jersey, 10th anniversary (2007-08)
I had lived in Tampa my whole life, until 2007 when I got a job in Fort Myers — about two hours to the south. My closest team, geographically, became the ECHL's Florida Everblades, who were not affiliated with the Lightning at the time, but rather the Carolina Hurricanes.
It was easier and cheaper to drive 20 minutes and take in a Blades game than to drive two hours for a Bolts game. And even though I never found watching minor league hockey as fun as NHL hockey, it was still hockey.
While I could never not wear my Lightning jersey to a hockey game of any kind, my wife liked the Everblades' colors and uniforms. The Blades happened to be celebrating their 10th anniversary season and were wearing special sweaters to mark the occasion. So that's what I bought for her.
Now we live in Seattle so it just collects dust in the closet along with the next two on the list.
Nashville Predators
Home jersey (1998—2001)
This one may seem random, but there's a story. During a week-long family trip to Tennessee in the winter of 1999, we went to a Nashville Predators game — I believe on New Year's Day. For whatever reason, I really wanted to wear a Preds jersey. I was 15 so who knows what I was thinking.
We stopped into a sports store in downtown Nashville just a few blocks from the hockey arena so I could blow one of my first paychecks from the job I had just started. I wore the jersey to the game and that was pretty much it. They were playing the San Jose Sharks but I can't remember if they won.
A non-hockey fan friend of mine in Fort Myers used to wear it to Everblades games just to have a hockey jersey on. He joked that I should give him some facts about the Preds in case someone from Nashville ever came up to him. I told him that would never happen. Then it did. It was awkward.
I've never had a reason to wear that jersey since 2000. I'm not in any way a Predators fan — or a fan of any NHL team other than the Lightning. So that's the story.
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim
Third jersey (1996)
Here's where we end. And I am mortified.
It's true. I own what might possibly be the ugliest third jersey in NHL history. Why? Because I thought it was cool. Bet you didn't see that one coming.
I was 11 years old when this one debuted. I think I bought it in the bargain bin a year later at a Sports Authority. If I remember right, I got it for $28. And even at that rate it was way overpriced. But that season saw the launch of the NHL's Third Jersey Program which, somewhat ironically, spurred my interest in hockey uniform designs.
By that time, I'd only been watching hockey a few years, but it seemed NHL jersey designs were all set in stone, and frankly when you're a kid, that's kind of boring. Now I can look back nostalgically but in 1996, I saw for the first time that teams could try new things and be creative. As a creative person myself and not really that athletically-inclined, I fell in love with that aspect of the sport.
But the thing is, it was never that easy for me to see the variety that did exist in the league. The Internet as we know it today was barely in its infancy. There was no looking up photos on Google Images. No photo galleries on team websites. No Icethetics, to be sure.
Instead, I started learning about all of the NHL's jerseys by collecting hockey cards. Most kids would've been eager to see which new players they got as they unwrapped a new pack. For me, it was which new jerseys I got.
To this day, I still have that collection, thousands of cards going back to the early '90s. And when I saw Paul Kariya wearing this jersey, I figured it had to be awesome. Because he was. I've since learned that is faulty logic.
As my pathetic jersey collection clearly shows, I'm not a traditionalist in any sense. I love the vintage-style uniforms for teams that have a long history. Outside of that, I think a bit of creativity and outside-the-box thinking is warranted. But that doesn't mean I won't like the whatever the Lightning come up with, even if it lives up to the rumors. They're my team.
I love hockey sweaters as much as anyone else. Some choose to manifest that love with big jersey collections. Personally, I'm just not a fan of spending that much money on something that will collect dust in the closet. The only jersey I'll ever wear to a hockey game is a Lightning one. So I don't need any others.
But that won't stop me from collecting pictures of all the jerseys I can find.
So now that you've seen my collection, show me yours. Who among you has the best collection? Most eclectic? Biggest? Ugliest? Let's do a little competition. Maybe we'll even have a prize for the winner. Leave a note in the comments if you have a collection you're interested in putting on display. If enough people want to get involved, I'll set up a page and let everyone vote.
Chris
My jersey collection expanded by one this morning — thanks to the Icethetics readership!
Tampa Bay Lightning
Third jersey (1997—1999)
After I wrote this post and mentioned my desire to add the Lightning's original third jersey to my diminutive collection, a reader linked me to an ebay listing that was winding down. Lucky timing, I guess.
As wacky of a design as it is, this was one of the first hockey jerseys that piqued my interest in the subject in the first place. The NHL's Third Jersey Program introduced us to the idea that teams could get creative with their looks. And even though this was a pretty atrocious attempt, as a kid, I loved it. I'm glad to have it.
Couple of disappointing details: It's a little too small for me to wear and because it's a replica, it doesn't feature the underarm "victory stripes" that have been a mainstay on every Lightning sweater from 1992 to 2011. That aside, it's in great condition and it totally brings me back to my middle school days!
Still planning to expand the collection this year — but only with Lightning or Lightning-related jerseys. I'd like to pick up a customized Stamkos 2011 All-Star sweater along with the Bolts' new home and road sweaters, just unveiled this week. They won't be available until sometime this summer.

I'd love to put my jersey collection up against some of the best. I have collected them for a while, especially jerseys that may not be considered among the best jerseys of all time. I DO have a 3rd Lightning jersey with the rain and waves, and I customized it with Dino Cicarelli (not correct numbers style though...too expensive). The two jerseys I don't have that I really want is your 3rd Ducks jersey, and the infamous Burger King jersey. I have a ton of jerseys though, aproaching 50 hockey jerseys now. I have some on my website, but I need to update them cause that was 2 years ago, and I have added to my collection....in fact, I'm going shopping for jerseys right now cause it was my birthday yesterday and I have some money thats burning a hole in my pocket!
My 4 jerseys:
Chicago Blackhawks, white, pre-edge
Team Canada white, 2002 olympics
Team Canada red practice, 2002 olympics
And my rarest one..
Halifax Mooseheads, black third from the late 90s.
My collection currently includes:
Early 2000's Kings, black with the shield on the chest and the crowns on the shoulders.
A white Sharks jersey from the same era
A white RBK Penguins jersey
New Pens winter classic
An older CCM Flyers black third from the late 90's
A RBK edge Flyers winter classic
A white Hershey Bears jersey from the late 80's
And, though I have yet to receive it, I just bought a new Danny Briere orange Flyers jersey, the only personalized one I own.
I have the Tampa Bay Lightning 3rd jersey from the 90's. I love having the jerseys that arn't as popular and that you don't see many other fans wear. And to join in the fun I have;

The years are not exact, but they are the correct era of that teams jerseys. I also didn't count my 2010 USA (Parise and Orpik) jerseys, and I have a cool subliminated russian hockey jersey. I think I only paid a full $150 for 2 of those jerseys, and the rest wern't really expensive at all. The first jersey from this collection i got when I was around 9, and 10 years later it grew a bit to say the least. If I have Time maybe i'll take some pics and add a link. Likie I said I like the oddball jerseys. (still trying to find an Islanders fisherman jersey)
Mine isn't too much to gloat about, but it will grow with time. Most are Blue since I'm from STL
4 Blues jerseys (3 Edge/1 CCM)
Home (Halak) Away (Berglund) Alt. (MacInnis) CCM (Pronger)
1 Edmonton Oilers Authentic home Edge (Penner)
1 Nashville Predators home Edge

Great Post. Love how you bought the Wild Wing jersey as a kid. Beauty i was 9 when it came out and really wanted one as well.
I grew up with a unnecessary interest for hockey jerseys, but never really started purchasing them until only a few years ago.
My collection is a closet stuffer to say the least. I've listed a nice few here below. all of the ones listed are full licensed products from the NHL, no far east knockoffs, though i have been burned by a few ebay transactions and ended up with them.
The center piece of my collection is my abundance of Pittsburgh Penguins Sweaters I've managed to get my hands on over the last few years. I've been lucky enough to find all of the jerseys they've produced for retail since joining the league in 1967, as well as some of the ones that were trickier to find. a few of which were purchased from a former civic arena worker who got them as gifts from the team
Pittsburgh Penguins:
1967 Home # 30 Les Binkley also have one with blank back
1967 Away # 9 Andy Bathgate
1968 Home # 19 Pronovost also have one blank. These jerseys are the white version of the current penguins 3rd. they are nearly impossible to find i was lucky to find somone who worked with the team willing to part with a blank one. the Pronovost one is a custom one i had made buying the blank shell, logo, and having a company make the numbers
1968 away # 23 Shack
1973-74 home # 16 They only used this jersey for 1 season due to the unbalanced penguin logo on the front. was lucky to find someone selling.
1977 Home # 17 Rick Kehoe
1977 away #8 Schultz
1984 Gold third # 12 Errey
1991 Home #77 Coffey
1991 road #8 Recchi (with ASG patch), also have a # 25 Kevin Stevens with 3 patches, #5 Samuelsson, #10 Francis
1993 Home #10 Francis, also have #66 Lemieux (with 100 year Stanley Cup patch)
1993 Road #55 Murphy, #11 Cullen #66 Lemieux
1996 third (later road) #68 Jagr, also have #82 Straka (with NHL 2000 Patch)
2000 third (later home) #11 Staal
2001 home #16 Christensen
2007 RBK edge home #87 Crosby also have #10 Letestu (with Consol Energy Center Patch) #20 Armstrong

2009 3rd Jersey #87 Crosby
2010 Winter Classic #58 Letang (with winter classic patch)
Most of my penguins Jerseys are full authentic and i have been fouled with two fakes not listed.
QMJHL
Rimouski Oceanic Home - 87 Crosby

Both of these were extremely hard to find, River City sports started selling them after Crosby broke into the NHL and did magnificent customizing jobs

2000's Ducks road Dan Bylsma
1988 Whalers Jersey (with pucky the whale) #10 Francis ( jersey foul, Francis actually wore #4 his rookie year which was the last year for the whale shoulder patches)
I am missing a bunch but i am not sure if they are fakes or not. There are a couple of those new style roger edwards knit sweaters that just don't look right that i got off of ebay as well as some other winter classic jerseys that the name and number patches kind of mend into the jersey that i am questionable on.
Thats the bulk of them so far, but am always looking to Add

The most unique jersey
The biggest fan (most jerseys for one team, or even do a team-by-team "biggest" fan)
The most "why would anyone buy that jersey?" jersey
Most impressive single jersey
Most elaborate collection
Kind of like a ToL, but it would be a ToJC (Jersey Collections)
When I was about 8, I remember colouring pictures featuring that Wild Wing logo on the Mighty Ducks website.
Drew, that sounds great. I can only do one prize but bragging rights for the rest I'm sure would be just as acceptable to anyone entering. I'll start putting plans together this week to get this contest started.
got maybe 35 hockey jerseys. two former toy bins full of them. here's some of my favorites:
1) my four canucks (from vancouver, favorite team) jerseys: present reebok edge away jersey, 1972 blue home jersey (they wore it as the alternate in 2006-2008), and two of black jerseys, one has luongo on the back
2) mustard canada jersey. they wore this at the world cup back in 2005 to open the games. replicas of the jerseys of the first canadian team who won the first gold medal in hockey in 1926
3) two of the most recent jets jerseys, one white, one blue. my dads from winnipeg. self explanatory.
4) doug gilmour jersey from back in the day when he played for the leafs. hate the leafs, but a great uniform none the less
i would love to get the 40th anniversary canucks jersey (the 1970 replica) but i only wear jerseys so often, so there's no point

I own about 50-60 NHL replica jerseys with players names on the back (stiched on, all bought at reputable jersey stores). Been buying them since a teenager but have really started collecting/buying a bunch of them in the last 5 or 6 years. I wear my Hockey jerseys quite often, probably a couple days a week i will wear one, even if its just for a couple hours. I wear them not only going to games, but just bumming around as well. I wear them to the mall, grocery store, House party's, Hockey card Shows and even i go out to dinner and movies with the girlfriend. Out of all my jerseys my absolute favorites to wear are both of my Calgary Hitmen Jerseys. Just love the Calgary Hitmen jerseys, they look so cool and are one of the nicest jersey's in all of hockey, IMO. I have the Grey/Mask one with "Getzlaf 15" on the back from the 04/05 season i believe and i also have their current White/Mask one with "Kozun 15" on the back as well. Other favorites of mine are my "88 Kane" Red Blackhawks and by Black Sharks "15 Heatley"
My brother and I actually kind of mix our modest collection together. I just wear whatever I feel like at the time. We have 6 Sharks jerseys between us: Original Teal, Original White (favorite), Original-styled Black (unofficial Starter), 2nd Generation Teal, 2nd Generation White, and another 2nd Generation White customized with Brad Stuart as a birthday present... I thought he would be like what Drew Doughty is being projected as now. =S
Oh well, better than getting a Bill Guerin Sharks jersey though.
It's never been easy being a hockey fan in Brazil for the past two decades, especially for buying hockey jerseys. Whenever a relative went to the US we tried to ask for jerseys, but they were VERY rare to come by in the 1990's, at least in the cities they traveled to. One day, back in 1993, someone went to the US and brought me a Panthers T-shirt. I was very disappointed with it, not because of it being the Panthers, but because I wanted an NHL team T-shirt (and I'd rather have a jersey). At that time I wasn't aware there had been an expansion. Anyways, I managed to buy a few over the years.
1) Florida Panthers away (red) 1994 — Bought in the US a year after I got the T-shirt; but then I knew they were an NHL team.
2) Pittsburgh Penguins home (white) 1995 — Surprisingly bought in Brazil. A couple years later I saw several jerseys that looked like it, but had a "Western Conference" patch. Mine was correct.
3) Pittsburgh Penguins away (black, with PITTSBURGH written in front of it) 1997 — Bought from a PA store via e-mail (!). Back then I thought faxing my credit card info would be more secure.
4) Toronto Maple Leafs away (blue) 1999 — Bought in Brazil.
5) Pittsburgh Penguins baby blue alternate with Winter Classic 2008 patch — Bought on eBay. My first one with name/number on the back (Staal's).
All of them are replicas.

I have about 20 hockey jerseys, please lets have a competition or at least a page to post them up.
I would love to post my collection. I love hockey jerseys and I love this blog. also not ashamed that I have an old ducks third lettered with Kariya. So ugly and I love it!!!
you're right, that IS disappointing. except for that ducks jersey!
here's mine for now (all replicas except where otherwise noted):
~caps red #19 backstrom
~caps white #17 clark with red captain's 'c'
~caps "eagle" white authentic #8 ovechkin
~caps "eagle" blank w/ autographs and nhl2000 patch
~caps black blank (old ccm style with label on lower hem)
~caps blue #77 oates
~caps black center ice practice jersey blank
~caps blue practice jersey. not official, just a "fashion" jersey
~calgary flames black 'horse' jersey #6 housley with flaming 'A'
~2000 toronto all-star game red player jersey blank
~blackhawks red #7 chelios with 'A'
~islanders blue fisherman jersey blank. it's hilarious, much like the old ducks 3rd. the crest is huge and bulky
~maple leafs blue blank starter jersey with 'western conference' crest on back hem
i think that's it
wish list: caps winter classic
Great entry no matter how small your collection. Personally I'm a 10 yr game worn collector with a focus on the Charlotte Checkers and Atlanta Braves.
I become a father for the first time in 2010 and my purchasing has slowed to a near stop. There are several for sale/trade, if anyone is interested you can contact me through my Flickr page. Nice collections guys!
I have 15 different jerseys, 13 of them are authentic, except for the sweater and the Doug Gilmour jersey. I'm a Flyers fan, but have more than just Flyers jerseys.
1. Starter Toronto Maple Leafs sweater. (It's an actual sweater like the players wore years ago. It's white with the 3rd jersey logo on it. I got it as a Christmas gift probably in 1994 or 1995.)
2. Nike Team Canada Mario Lemieux (white from the 2002 Olympics)
3. Starter Pittsburgh Penguins Mario Lemieux (black from the mid '90's. Their original 3rd jersey with the gray shoulder area with yellow stripes)
4. Koho Pittsburgh Penguins Mario Lemieux (black, when they did the redesign bringing back the '80's logo)
5. CCM Edmonton Oilers Wayne Gretzky (white, purchased around the time of his retirement)
6. CCM Quebec Nordiques Peter Stastny (blue, purchased in the mid '90's)
7. Reebok Philadelphia Flyers Peter Forsberg (orange 3rd jersey, pre-Reebok Edge)
8. Nike Philadelphia Flyers Rod Brind'Amour jersey (white, purchased mid '90's probably a few months before he was traded to Carolina)
9. CCM Winnipeg Jets Keith Tkachuk (blue with the Goals For Kids patch, purchased mid '90's)
10. CCM Montreal Canadiens Maurice Richard (red with the '93 All Star Game patch)
11. CCM Toronto Maple Leafs Curtis Joseph (white with the NHL 2000 and All Star Game patches)
12. CCM Toronto Maple Leafs Mats Sundin (blue with the Maple Leafs Gardens 1931-1996 patch)
13. CCM Los Angeles Kings Dave Taylor (black, Gretzky era jersey)
14. CCM New York Islanders "Fisherman" jersey (white, with my name on it. There weren't any players I wanted on the back. I actually liked that jersey)
15. CCM Toronto Maple Leafs Doug Gilmour (replica from '93 or '94, a gift from my parents)
I own five jerseys, only three I actually paid for.
Toronto 3rd and Home (both RBK Edge style)
Portland Winterhawks 3rd (pre-Edge white jersey with Portland across the front)
WHL authentic orange practice jersey I won off the WHL Facebook page for knowing what team Jarome Iginla played for
Autographed authentic Mark Messier CCM-style Rangers jersey I won for voting for the All-Star Game in Atlanta.
One jersey I would love to have is the NY Islanders Gorton's Fishermen one.
I was always the jersey kid in highschool in an area where hockey wasn't that huge, Racine, WI. Most of my exposure at the time was the Milwaukee Admirals of the IHL so a ton of my jerseys are horrible 90's IHL jerseys, but there are some gems in there. They're about 50/50 for replica/pro
IHL/AHLjerseys
Milwaukee Admirals - 80's-1997 Home and Away 'Capt'n Crunch, 98-06 red floating head with my name and number (31)
Indianapolis Ice - Mid 90's - the 'bud ice' logo with the swiping bear, black and purple, with my name and number
Minnesota Moose - 1994 - replica away jersey
Orlando Solar Bears - 1996 - replica home jersey, white teal and purple, oh yeah...
Cleveland LumberJacks - mid 90's - the beaver logo and saw tooth stripes, while still a penguins farm club.
Omaha Ar-Sar-Ben Knights - 2006 - away jersey with the flaming knight head, still one of my favs especially here in ATL where it sort of plays up on the areas history of teams.
International Jerseys
1992 USA Hockey Blue replica
1998 USA Hockey White "Hull 15"
late 80's early 90's CSKA "Nemchinov" Replica
College Jerseys
University of Wisconsin - Badgers Red mid 90's
University of Minnesota - 1996 white with the maroon satin shoulders, 2002 maroon
NHL
St Louis Blues - 1995 - authentic home jersey with the angled staff stripes and "31" used to have a "Joseph" nameplate, but I removed it when he was traded away and got sick of people asking if I was Joseph
Nashville Predators - 1998 - away - They were my hometown team's parent club
Vancouver Canucks - orca away
Philadelphia Flyers - blaze orange replica
Buffalo Sabres - 90's - away Buffalo head
Chicago Blackhawks - 90's black alternate
New York Rangers - 90's Liberty alternate
Minnesota Wild - 2002 green jersey with my name and number, 2004 White Home Jersey signed by the whole team, current green alternate.
There are probably about 5 or 6 more NHL jerseys I have that are old starter replicas I picked up from the outlet mall when the starter store was closing still in the bag and never worn. Couldn't tell you the teams though.
Wow, these are some amazing collections! Mine's pretty small, but there's one I haven't seen from anybody yet
1. Chicago Blackhawks - Home white, Amonte captain's jersey (replica CCM)
2. San Jose Sharks - Road teal, 1991-1998 (replica, CCM)
3. San Jose Sharks - Home teal / 3rd dark 1998 - 2007 (replica, CCM)
4. Kansas City Blades IHL - Road red mid-1990's (replica, Bauer) Bought it on sale after team folded, used to be San Jose's IHL affiliate
5. Kinda doesn't count, Snap-On tools black (can't remember who makes it)
I wear the Blackhawks, Sharks 2nd gen and Snap-On jerseys to hockey, so they get some use. The older Sharks and Blades jerseys won't fit over the pads!
You know with everyone posting their collections, this would be a perfect place to have a "Facebook" of hockey jerseys. It would obviously take lots of backend work, but you can have a database of jerseys set up, (perhaps just start with NHL then add minors, international...) people create a profile then select the ones they have and also have a photo section to show them off. This could be done in a couple days, right? ;)
I have 19 NHL replica jerseys, 1 QMJHL jersey and 1 from the Czech Elite League.
Here is my list:
---
Yup, that's it. I don't own a single hockey jersey. I am too poor to be able to buy something that I will rarely wear.

I have a current Canucks home jersey (Ryan Kesler, autographed). And that's the extent of my collection thus far. Then again, I'm a middle-class teenager in the Vancouver suburbs. Mom won the jersey in a raffle and gave it to me as a birthday present. Now it's framed and leaning on a wall somewhere.

Have dozen or so more of ones I designed and played in - but is really of no interest to the group. My best collection was the puck collection of 2500 biscuits that I just sold.
You need to sell me that Ducks jersey, its actually my favorite jersey of all time and one of the ones I do not own. I was 9 when it came out and I loved it lol, I guess I have bad taste.
They need to buy my Ducks design, thatd be fresh.
I have 15 sweaters, although all but one are replicas:
California Golden Seals 1970 (green)
Hartford Whalers 1979 (green)
Buffalo Sabres 1980 (blue)

Buffalo Sabres 2010 (blue alternate, #29 Pominville)
Calgary Flames 2011 (red Heritage Classic)
Being from the Netherlands it's hard for me to get jersey's. Shipping costs me almost as much as a replica jersey. So here's my collection:
San Jose Sharks: 1998-2007 white (blank)
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim: 1996-2006 dark (blank)
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim: 1997-2000 alternate white (#9 Kariya)

I have been at this jersey thing since 1986... I've since moved on to baseball!

I told you I have a problem. :)
So I thought I had too many hockey jerseys, but by reading some comments mine seems small in comparison. So here we go:
New Jersey Devils - David Clarkson - Red (2010)
New Jersey Devils - Martin Brodeur - White (2010)
New Jersey Devils - Ken Daneyko - Red/Green (2010)
New Jersey Devils - Zack Parise - Red (2009)
New Jersey Devils - Martin Brodeur - Red (2005)
New Jersey Devils - Martin Brodeur - Red (2003)
New Jersey Devils - J. Koster (My name) - White - (2000)
New Jersey Devils - Blank - White (1998)
Team Canada - Martin Brodeur - Red (2010)
Team Canada - Scott Niedermayer - Black (2002)
Calgary Flames - Dion Phaneuf - Red (2007)
Calgary Flames - J. Koster(my name) - Black (2003)
Vancouver Canucks - Brenden Morrison - Blue/Red/Purple (2006)
San Jose Sharks - Joe Thornton - Aqua (2009)
Oshawa Generals - Blank - Blue (2010)
Clearly a Devils fan, I cherish them the most. I also have eight NFL jerseys, four soccer jerseys and a Toronto Rock NLL jersey. All replicas.
I'm embarrassed to say I have over 50 jerseys...all Authentics. Too much money...not enough sense. 19 NHL Team singles (Jerseys I own because I like the jersey, not because I support the team)...19 from my teams that I regularly follow (4 Blackhawks, 3 Ducks, 3 Rangers, 3 Predators, 3 Avalanche, 3 Sharks), 7 Minor League jerseys (Wolkpack -2, Worch Sharks - 2, Lake Erie Monsters - 2, Rockford Icehogs -1), 4 LA Kings Authentic Practice Jerseys (Thank you Toyota Sports Center), and 2 Phoenix Coyotes Authentic Practice jerseys.
It's a disease...a sick sick disease.
I completely fogot one jersey which was a NHL ref jersey.
