Giant Bomb Hockey Jerseys Are (Finally) On Sale!

Customize your very own fine piece of Giant Bomb apparel today!

No Caption Provided

The opportunity to procure your very own Giant Bomb Hockey Jersey is finally here! Whether you exhibit the lithe grace of a Dino Ciccarelli or the board-pounding muscle of a Dale Hunter, you'll be sure to fit right into your local hockey rink's hijinks with this sweet piece of gear. It might not be as classy as a jean jacket, but it'll still be a fine piece of apparel for a night of ice fishing or smashing some Labatts down behind the Tim Hortons or waiting two hours in the cold for Sidney Crosby's autograph. It features a custom Giant Bomb logo on the front and your choice of name and number on the back! Click here to order!

That's right: you can choose whatever name and number you want to throw on the back of this bad boy! Memorialize your first pet (Gandalf!), or the object of your first crush (Gandalf?), or maybe your favorite literary character (Gandalf!) Or, you know, if you want to be quotidian, you could always just throw the name of your favorite hockey player (Gandalf!) on the back, or maybe even your own name (....Gandalf?). It's up to you!

(Fine Print: You can choose any name you like for the back of the jersey, but we reserve the right to cancel/refund your order or ask you to change the name if it's super inappropriate/racist/sexist/etc. You're the one who's going to have to wear this thing, so we're going to be pretty lenient here, but, you know...be cool. You can have a maximum of 12 characters on the back, including spaces!)

*These are all going to be custom embroidered, so there will be no returns or exchanges. Be sure to watch the video above to get an idea for the sizing you want, and be absolutely sure that the lettering/numbers on the rear are correct, and triple-check your shipping address before confirming your order! Colors are not customizable, sorry!

*You'll also want to double-check your sizing using this handy chart:

No Caption Provided

As you will have noticed, these are big, bulky garments! I personally going down one size from your regular t-shirt size if you intend on wearing this without pads underneath, but if you're at all concerned about sizing I'd recommend taking some measurements!

No Caption Provided

*International shipments will often run into extra fees for customs and tariffs depending on your country's laws! You will be responsible for paying any fees or tariffs that these packages incur on their way to you, so you'll probably want to check with your local customs office to see what those might be before ordering!

*The initial ordering window will end on March 1st, at which point the jerseys will go into production, which will take around four weeks. We'll open these back up for orders in the future sometime after this initial run ships.

No Caption Provided

*We have disabled some of the very cheapest shipping options so that all orders will have either signature required for delivery or point-to-point tracking and will also be insured, which wasn't possible with some of the cheaper shipping methods. Please make sure your shipping address will be valid for you at the end of March! I'd highly recommend getting this shipped to an office or other secure address where it won't be sitting on your porch. The person who orders the shirt will also need to be the one who signs for the package, according to our store partners, so you may want to make sure that it's ordered under the name of whoever will be receiving the package!

If you have any questions please leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to address them!

My opinion doesn't matter, but I think the wording should be "Jerseys are FOR sale". ON sale, to me, indicates the price is lower than the regular price. :)

@madeppymage: Just did a quick Google search and TSN has a feature explaining how Reebok spends $15 manufacturing a hockey jersey that retailers sell for $330. Again, it's not the cost of materials or labor.

Hey @rorie - who's the jersey manufacturer? I can't tell from the cut, and (having particular feelings about hockey jerseys) that'll help me figure out if I'm gonna buy one.

Thanks!

It is a company called Legacy Hockey.

Following up on that question, I found their site and they have different jersey "series" available for sale. Can you say which series these are? Also sorry, I'm not on any forums often. I don't know how to make the quote format pretty.

I like the jersey design but am not so hot on the logo. The bomb just looks weird to me. And man would I prefer it if the letters were white with a red outline instead.

Are these going to come back in stock after the initial sale window? I may not be able to pick one up with such short notice but I could in a few months.

What would staff numbers be? I don't believe in custom jerseys, I think you should buy your favorite bomber's shirt.

@thebigaristotle: LMAO now there’s a statement I never thought I would read.

Personally I do believe in custom jerseys and now that SEGA 32X is off the table; I’m leaning towards SHOEMAKER 86.

@chapelzero: Reebok is a much larger company than Legacy, meaning it spends less producing its jerseys in bulk. Also, I'm not familiar with TSN's story, but I'm sure it was talking specifically about player/blank jerseys, not custom ones.

I've always wanted a hockey jersey but they are always so expensive. I really appreciated the Tim Hortons / Crosby reference. #IAmCanadian

Thanks for putting up the official numbers! Now to make the difficult decision... I usually buy sports jerseys with either the exciting new player (Ben/Abby?) or the defensive stalwart that plays like I used to, but way better (Brad/Jeff/Vinny). Man, this is a tough one!

@rorie Longtime reader first time commenting.

NO GOALIE CUT? Please provide a goalie cut option! I would love to wear this during games but there's no way for goalies to fit this thing over the equipment. 3X still has very skinny arms compared to a goalie cut. Please, wont anyone think of the goalies?!

@vonbloodaxe: Pretty sure it's their LGS 800; it has the right design and doesn't have laces.

@rorie

Just an FYI. I emailed orders@socialimprints.com about shipping to a UPS Store mailbox, got a standard 'someone will reply to you in 24 hours' email right away, and then nothing. That was 3 days ago.

I'm torn. I really want one of these, but don't want to spend the money on something that can't be shipped to me.

@matpaget: Right, but player jerseys are customized in precisely the same way "custom" jerseys are, they're not a single manufactured item. And, once again, my point was that the expense isn't related to labor and materials; maybe Reebok gets a better wholesale price than Legacy, maybe they don't (no idea where you're getting that information from, though I suspect you're not getting it from anywhere), but that doesn't affect the market price for labor and material.

I'm pretty picky about not wearing logo's unless I truly believe in the brand it represents and am willing to throw down on some true fan boy level for them. I will be eagerly awaiting mine in March!

I'd be interested in honoring Ryan, does anyone have any idea what he would have liked?

And should it be Davis or Taswell?

They're no longer available for pre-order, but we hope to have another ordering window at some point in the future after all of these are shipped out.

We still plan to do another run for the same jersey sometime after the initial orders ship.

I hope this is something you can do periodically, as it's going to be awhile before I can afford one.

Has anyone heard anything about the status of their order? I got in right at the end of the eligibility, so I figure mine might not come until later, but I'm just curious.
