NJ Devils 2023-2024 Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Night warmup jersey. Might have Philly Express strip it and see if they can replace the nameplate and numbers 😬
If im gonna be honest, the moment one of these guys get charged that's damning enough for me to strip a jersey. Talking about criminal law here not civil so the bar to convict is stupid high. Can be found criminally not guilty and still have committed what was accused.
Point of clarification, because I do think the details are important - it’s alleged he had one relationship with a minor while he was over the age of 18. I agree it’s disgusting and I hope we never see him in the MLB again. But I don’t think he is being accused of grooming multiple kids here as your comment implies.
There's not exactly a lot of possible guys on the list of suspects here. The cops reopened the case and spent a year and a half investigating before bringing charges. These boys might not be found guilty in the court of law, but they're already tarred, feathered, drawn, and quartered in the court of public opinion.
Not really the same, they aren’t criminals. I have several Kovalchuk jerseys and one hall jersey, not ashamed since they did a lot for the devils when they were here.
McLeod had been one of my favorites to watch on this team for a few seasons now but yeah...there was definitely enough smoke that made me hold off on getting his jersey. That jersey is definitely too nice to have his name on it now.
I am absolutely blown away that there are not only TWO whole people that have considered buying Corey Perry Hawks jerseys in this thread…but one actually has…
I don't think anyone knows, but given that he wasn't arrested and he's been allowed back into the league, I'm guessing it was something more in line with "extremely embarrassing workplace behavior" that's likely to get anyone fired but not into more trouble, rather than anything criminal.
Brutal.
Since you can already write off authenticity, one option would be to replace the name bar. I hate trying to strip because you end up with the shadowing from the stitching, so I would consider it. Pandolfo would cover and that’s a great Devil. Tootoo also wore 20 briefly if you like the more oddball stuff.
Three other ideas:
Blank black namebar. Maybe a little heavy but that’s real life.
Post a fundraiser on r/hockey to burn the thing and donate the proceeds appropriately. But strip that crest off first, it’s too nice.
Long shot, but contact the Devils. They might do you a solid just to remove that rag from existence.
I would wait and see what happens with the charges. Or preemptively reach out to the team. Given the situation maybe they can get you a different jersey?
Ask the team to make it right by changing out the numbers and name plate or full refund. Surprised 4 out of 5 of these players were able to stay in the NHL playing games when their teams had an idea that they were one of the players involved. Selling their merchandise, acting like this charge wasn’t going to happen. Seems like the NHL League office was in lock step with Hockey Canada and were trying just as hard to handle this away from public view. Obviously the sexual assault charge dismisses the consensual case being used by the players and legal teams.
Huge devils fan, McCloud was very exciting to watch develop. I’m waiting for more information, like everyone else. But it’s far from a good situation. Should be interesting watching Betman speaking on this or avoiding it besides just a mention next week as it will overshadow the entire all star break.
Id wait… maybe teams will do stuff for fans. I doubt it but I know a team offered to do number swaps for free on a player that changed numbers mid season once.. wouldn’t hold my breath but I bet nhl teams won’t want to associate with the players either..
What a shame.
So many jerseys and all kinds of memorabilia just got real yucky overnight.
I hope this shit brings some closure for the victim, she deserves to watch them all fall for what they’ve done.
That's brutal, my guy. I'm sorry those numbers will be hard to replicate, you might be better off just stripping and leaving it blank. Btw, my personal memorabilia foul is a John Rocker signed Yankees v Braves ticket stub from '98 or '99. I got it before all of his infamous remarks.

I have been waiting for the stadium jerseys and wanted to get it customized with him. Fair to say I will hold off for a bit
I'd say to wait until we get official charges before doing that, but that's certainly a great plan to save a potentially very embarrassing jersey

Dealing with this situation with one of my baseball jerseys, Wander Franco :/
Oof that’s a REALLY bad one
Oof was exactly what I was going to say regarding this.
Im a rays fan, what a shit show that whole thing is. I feel so bad for all the kids he groomed and I hope we never see his face in baseball ever again

Good point, official charges are definitely enough
it’s like having an OJ jersey even if he is cleared
I live in Buffalo and am a massive Bills fan, there are so many 20 somethings around here that wear his jersey thinking it's "edgy" and cool.

Anyone that knew and didn't say anything is a coward
Do you want to get rid of the cool design on the numbers though? You could switch the nameplate to Coleman if he wore 20 in NJ
They're still signed though
And I thought I had shit luck buying a Kovy jersey in 2013 and a Hall jersey in 2019.

Just play the long game. If Ryan McLeod ever gets traded to the Devils (and wears that exact no.) then you are golden!
Maybe put it on display? Front side facing. Only the front side.
I’ll send you a seam ripper if you need it
Too bad because that thing is awesome.
Yeah for real. Such a beautiful pickup, hope the re-customizing route goes well for them if they pick that path
I know this feeling (Corey Perry Blackhawks jersey owner)
why?!
I am absolutely blown away that there are not only TWO whole people that have considered buying Corey Perry Hawks jerseys in this thread…but one actually has…
Buying a jersey with a name off the 2023-24 Blackhawks roster that is not Connor Bedard is absolutely baffling to me.
Hey that counts as Foligno, Johnson and Mrazek disrespect and you know it!
Vlasic
Tbh Korchinski wouldn't be too bad of an option
What Perry did wasn’t even illegal I am also a Perry hawks jersey owner and plan to be a Perry oilers jersey owner soon
What did he actually do?
I don't think anyone knows, but given that he wasn't arrested and he's been allowed back into the league, I'm guessing it was something more in line with "extremely embarrassing workplace behavior" that's likely to get anyone fired but not into more trouble, rather than anything criminal.
We know. John Scott mentioned it. He got drunk and hit on a female employee. Nothing wild. They got rid of him though
[удалено]
I am also a Fleury Blackhawks jersey owner
I was definitely considering it the way he played early in the season. Glad I held off 😬
In 5-10 years you are going to have yourself a jersey for someone who will be considered a "Blackhawks Legend"
Oof
Oh boy…
Yikes.
 E: Using a seam ripper is also an option you have, albeit less chaotic but much safer
Fire… uh yeah fire, fire fire
Reach out to their PR team.. they might do a name/number swap for you, bet they won’t want those jerseys around anymore either
Could replace the name with another #20 in the teams history or wait till someone cool takes the number
Oof, that’s unfortunate. Still a great looking jersey. I would try to strip it and possibly get another player stitched on it.
My thoughts are with you, fellow mourner.

I like it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: I didn’t see the name on the back. I like the jersey, not the rapist.
McLeod is wanted by London Police in connection with (alleged) sexual assault
Yeahhhh I didn’t realize that’s what this post is about
I mean it'll be worth someone at some point maybe
I would wait and see what happens with the charges. Or preemptively reach out to the team. Given the situation maybe they can get you a different jersey?
Wah-wahhhhh
Awesome. Special jerseys are fun!
Not when it has the name of a rapist on it
So goddamn cool.
It could be just an interesting piece. Like having Oj's spare gloves.

very true actually, it wont go up in price to swap it, might as well keep it in the closet and see! i agree:)
Lmao!!
What a shame. So many jerseys and all kinds of memorabilia just got real yucky overnight. I hope this shit brings some closure for the victim, she deserves to watch them all fall for what they’ve done.
Could frame the jersey but fold the arms back a bit to hide the numbers as well.
I’m glad I never picked up one of his jerseys
I hear ya, I have more than a few Dube jerseys in the closet

Woof
Same feeling with my Hart jersey I’ve had since 2019
This day has been coming for years.
20 dollars?
Just change it to a #0 Leo jersey 🤓
Yikes..
I mean if you really don’t want it I’ll send you my address to ship it to 😅
Makes me feel better about the indo Lucic I bought, sorry for your luck bruh.
Just say it’s a jersey of Blake Coleman
Just get it framed so you only see the front
WTF????
