My Sens jersey collection, part 5b/5

1. '21-'22 stripped warm-up worn Hockey Fights Cancer (sz 54, smallest one available amongst all the available players) "Dad". This was a Dadonov jersey, where the numbers will be displayed in my home, and where most of the nameplate was used. Customization done by FirstLineJerseys using my design, and material sourced from 🤐. Handmade chainstitch "❤️ papa" on the hem tag was done by my mom.

DESIGN NOTES
– "DAD" is obviously from the nameplate
– 16 is my dad's favourite number (16 on the left side to be on heart's side)
– red is his favourite colour
– NOV (from the nameplate) 16 is his birthday (read as 16 NOV, as you would say it in proper french).

–> He's still fighting bravely… F&$K cancer!

1. '21-'22 authentic on-ice TI (sz 54) St-Patricks O'Batherson. On-ice spec'd kit made and sewn by 🤐, and custom chenille O' ("O" with the apostrophe is to go with the way all Sens names are displayed by the Sens on StPats jerseys) made by another 🤐, sewn by FirstLineJerseys.

2. '22-'23 indoDidas (sz 50) REVERSE Reverse Retro 2.0 Zuuub (Sens fans will get this one). What is reversed about it is that the logos of the crest and shoulders are swapped from what the retail jersey offered. Crest sourced from an donor replica jersey, shoulder patches sourced from a youth jersey. Customized by FirstLineJerseys.

3. Fully custom Adidas authentic on-ice TI practice jersey (sz 54) Alfie. All sewing done by FirstLineJerseys.

This was a 3 year project, from the original photoshop mockup I made to the final product, due to the length of time it took to get the custom patch/crest done.

It was a labour of love to honour my favourite player and our own HHoF inductee, lovingly called "Alfie" by the Senators faithful. I wanted to try and incorporate as much of the history of his tenure in Ottawa within this jersey, including touches from all of my favourite Sens jerseys he wore.

DESIGN NOTES

• my favourite Sens jerseys are the the black Heritage and Heritage Classic jerseys, as well as the black&gold alternates from the 6100 era.

• I love felt and I love kiss cut, so that was incorporated into my design everywhere I could.

• The digits and captain's C kit are kiss-cut felt, the 1st one I ever encountered anywhere at the time it was made 3 years ago, prepared by ProJerseyLettering. The digits font is from the Edge era home/away/alternate jerseys, while the C is from the red/black&gold alternates of the late 90s/early 2000s.

• The chest patch is from the 90s shoulder patches, sourced from a wrecked replica. I felt it was the most appropriate patch to use on the chest for esthetic reasons.

• Left shoulder patch is from the black alternate jerseys, which features a simplified version of our nation's capital's parliament building Peace Tower, sourced from a wrecked youth jersey.

• The crest is inspired by the "O" jerseys I like so much, featuring 3 layers and 4 colours, twin-stitched kiss-cut, and a felt version of the Peace Tower design found on the black alternate jersey shoulder patches.

• The right shoulder is an embroidered custom-made felt and gold "twill" English language patch mimicking the shoulder patches found on both Heritage jerseys (both jerseys each had a French and an English patch), where the H.C. one is made of felt. The gold is the exact same material as the one found on the custom crest.

• The hem patches are inspired by the big block era, using an appropriate Adidas patch (sourced from the front of the jersey where the C is placed), and a Reebok 6100 era inspired NHL crest, sourced from a fellow jersey collector.

1. '24-'25 authentic on-ice Fanatics (sz 50). Future plan to make it either a Sanderson, Pinto or Ullmark. Will be customized by FirstLineJerseys.

2. Collection of youth jerseys for my kids. Paid under 20$ for every one of them (thank you Sens Fest for the more modern ones), with the custom ones being made from spare parts I had laying around, sewn on by FirstLineJerseys.
