I thought it was only going to be you lucky bastards that can pick up jerseys before the season starts. Turns out the release is nationwide on Oct 6th (or whatever the exact date is again). Pro and semi-pro at the same time. So in theory I should be able to find one in Calgary in time to fly down to Phoenix to watch the Jets 2.0 tromp Jets 1.0.
This comes from an independent dealer in Calgary, old guy who's been doing this for eons. Not some 17 year old kid at Sportchek. So I put at least a bit of credence in it.
Unfortunately we won't be able to get them lettered in time, nor will we get the inaugural patch.
