Second Chance at Lagers Jersey!

Lagers jersey on sale again until March 17

If you were one of the people who saw these pictures back in January and thought, "man, I wish I could've bought one of those Lagers jerseys," then your wish has come true!

For a limited time, from now until March 17, the IceHL's Milwaukee Lagers jersey will again be available to buy from the great people at RinkGear — through their Geeky Jerseys store. And just as before, it can be yours, fully embroidered and personally customized for just $95.

If you miss your chance to grab this Lagers jersey now, you'll have only yourself to blame.

The photos in this blog post are great, but I've posted dozens more high-resolution photos that really show off the quality of the jersey on the Icethetics Facebook page. Go check them out. And if there's something else you want to see, let me know and I'll break out my camera again.

For those unfamiliar with the Milwaukee Lagers or Icethetics' fantasy hockey league, the IceHL, check out the free IceHL 2012 Yearbook. It's a quick download and contains everything you could possibly want to know — and then some.

By the way, following this second window for the Lagers jersey, the Hartford Mariners jersey will be up for sale next. It won the last round of voting. So soon enough, you can have not one, but TWO IceHL jerseys in your collection!

Lagers Jersey Arrives!

It's here! The IceHL jersey that became a reality arrived at my door this week. Feast your eyes on an actual Milwaukee Lagers sweater! All thanks to the great folks at RinkGear. For those unfamiliar with this fantasy hockey league project, I recommend downloading the IceHL 2012 Yearbook. It's free!

As you can see in these close-ups, the quality is absolutely spectacular! It's like nothing I would've expected — especially for a fantasy hockey team that existed only in cyberspace until now. The logos and numbers are fully embroidered and the jersey itself is made of a substantial material. After all, RinkGear manufactures their jerseys to be worn in actual hockey games.

I can't get over how cool it is to watch the continued evolution of the IceHL Project. Never in my craziest dreams did I imagine I'd get to touch an IceHL jersey, much less hang it in my closet. Again, I have to give a huge thanks to RinkGear for helping to make this happen.

And because RinkGear considers this IceHL jersey to be a success, they want to do another one! Beginning this weekend, I'll be conducting another series of polls to determine which one will be produced next. I've come up with a list of 16 jerseys that will be involved in this next round of voting. The list is based on how the jerseys finished in the last round of voting. In no particular order:

  • Montreal Olympiques
  • Winnipeg Winterhawks
  • Quebec Armada (white)
  • Seattle Aviators
  • Hartford Mariners
  • New Orleans Gators (white)
  • Boston Colonials
  • Alaska Huskies
  • Calgary Cavalry
  • Regina Renegades
  • New York Guardians
  • North Carolina Nighthawks
  • Tampa Bay Barracudas
  • Northwest Narwhals
  • Salt Lake City Scorpions
  • Washington Sentinels

Can't wait to see the next IceHL jersey hanging in my closet!

If you bought a Lagers jersey, let us know what you think of it in the comments. I can tell you that Winterhawks GM Dan Raposo loves his — and is probably hoping the Hawks are next!
