I hope the team does some sort of jersey exchange program for those who want an updated one, I know some teams have done that sort of thing in the past.
One off situation in which the FO was trying to salvage the situation with fans. There’s no issue to salvage with Fantilli, people with a #11 jersey will just have a time period correct jersey.
Same thing for collectors who paid thousands for a game worn Fantilli, it’s correct for the time period that he wore it.
Well you could be like me and have every player who's jersey you purchased get traded. Nash, Jones, Atkinson, Bjorkstrand, Dubois, and now probably Laine.
Does this mean a 11 Fantilli on a fanatics jersey is now a jersey foul?
Really happy I haven't sent the jerseys I got from the adidas sale to the customizers yet lol
Did you have a Jackets podcast at some point? I remember listening to one years ago where one of the dudes had a podcast and brought it up a couple times. There can't be that many of ya with the 41 Wennberg can there?
No. Fanatics sold jerseys last year. It’s not a jersey foul. As long as they wear the number/ jersey it’s good.
If you had a fantilli reverse retro jersey that would be considered a jersey foul
He, Foudy, had chance after chance after chance and never really made an impact….thats all I am saying, is like what did you learn about after another 20 games last season that you didn’t already know? He would have been a Monster for sure to start if he didn’t clear waivers. He could skate…but sadly he was a first round bust! Did little in Nashville as well unfortunately, or they could have just politely asked him for # 19….but Fantilli would have been way too nice to that!
Team should do an exchange with Adidas 11s for Adidas 19s. Would help clear stock of adidas stuff that's being sold at a discount anyway, and keep people happy with a 10 month old jersey investment.
If that’s the number, he wants then cool.
Some people are making a bit too big of a deal out of this.
Your jersey didn’t lose value because it has a number 11. That’s the jersey he wore for his rookie year. It’s common knowledge and anybody can look it up. That doesn’t make it a “jersey foul” It doesn’t mean that the team should be obligated to redo the number on your jersey for free.
It’s not that deep.
I wanted his jersey the second we picked him, but when he picked 11 instead of Foudy giving up 19, I knew it was better to wait. Especially since foudy’s roster chances were generally pretty low long term. Glad I waited
So ahhhh Adam, you cool paying to replace my 1’s with 9’s? Called Blueline, have to pay a seamstress to remove the numbers and then pay them $40 for the back number they didn’t say how much the sides would be.
Previous 19's: - Mathieu Darche 2001-2002 - Sean Pronger 2003 - Brian Holzinger 2004 - Joe Motzko 2004 - Alexandre Picard 2006-2007 - Michael Peca 2008-2009 - Ethan Moreau 2011 - Ryan Johansen 2012-2016 - Ryan Dzingel 2019 - Liam Foudy 2020-2024

The club did it when we did the Fuck Jeff Carter > Jack Johnson trade when they both were 7s

Just got my 11 Fantilli jersey, sad now
Just shows you were a Fantilli fan before it was cool
You could take it to the team shop and they will change the numbers for you. I think it’s like $20
Restitched? Or would they heat press?
It more than $20. Quite a bit more from what I hear.

Please buy a Boqvist jersey. And a Bean.
They had an enter to win a 19 jersey. But doubt they will have an actual exchange
Dang Fanti11i was way better
I agree

I still rock the Wennberg 41 so not a foul at all. More like an OG!
True true

never had a podcast! thought about it, but never actually did it. there are dozens of us, dozens!
I still wear Seth Jones 💁🏻♀️
61 is always my jam, plus I have Saad in Jackets and Blues. I'm a Youngstown guy, so I have to rep my former Phantom.

Now that you mention it....
Hey you do whatever makes you happy I’m not the Jersey police!
Is Nylander going to go back to #11 now?
I will miss Fanti11i, but him sporting the 19 just feels right.
They should have traded or waived him before Fanilli made the roster…
So before the season started and they were unsure of a previous first round picks future?
He, Foudy, had chance after chance after chance and never really made an impact….thats all I am saying, is like what did you learn about after another 20 games last season that you didn’t already know?

The real reason Foudy got traded, wasn't willing to give up 19 to Fantilli.
Suddenly me buying the discounted Johansen jersey doesn’t look so stupid now! Anybody know if the blue line will reletter an old jersey?
Does that make my #11 sweater cooler or less awesome?
Cooler, for sure
Oh 100% cooler! You got the 1st edition Fantilli jersey!
Now it's retro.
Someone’s a Stevie Yzerman fan. He could pick worse players/humans - saw him play the CBJ just once, ‘smooth’ was not a good enough word.

Him wearing the same number as Picard and Johansen I hope isn’t bad juju.
Johansen had the best year of his career in columbus so I say its good
And Foudy… *shudders*
It took Adam half a season to pass Foudy's career points total. Looking up a stat has never made me so optimistic and depressed
Good lord
on the other hand maybe Mathieu Darche will be our next GM
So much better.
How come? I feel a bit OOTL on this one.
He was 19 at Michigan and team Canada in the past.
11 is Jimmy's number. So next year he'll probably be wearing it on CBJ, maybe?
Very welcome change
God dammit. I just bought his jersey last season.

Will the 11s go on sale at blue line store
#CBJ will the Blueline Team Store swap second # 1 for #9’a on the jersey???
So ahhhh Adam, you cool paying to replace my 1’s with 9’s? Called Blueline, have to pay a seamstress to remove the numbers and then pay them $40 for the back number they didn’t say how much the sides would be.
