I have heard at least two stories about MLB rejecting requests for custom jerseys. Among the reasons given was:
Our customization department has advised us that due to licensing
agreements customers may not customize products with names or numbers of
retired players, players we do not have rights to, player’s nicknames,
players that have passed away, or players who have not finalized their
contract. Additionally when a customer is selecting their
customizations, they may not have “Mrs.” or “Mr.” before the name they
are requesting to have added. Also, profanity will not be permitted as a
customization.
Hmmm. So I can’t get “Mr. Met” or “Agee?”
I get that I can’t make WRIGHT 5 or profanity or SEAVER 41 but seems they’ve gotten stricter.
Anyone got any anecdotes?
Tried to make Piazza 31, no dice. Hundley 9 is a go though. Just like the rest of Mets history, Hundley gets no play.
You can only order Piazza 31 jerseys in black…
Interesting. Did the Hundley 9 actually make it to you?
I haven’t placed the order yet. But, it allows you to at least create it.
I am glad I have a Hundley 9 Blue BP jersey from back in the day.
Use Stitchess http://www.stitchesny.com in Queens, Parkview Sportscenter in The Bronx (718) 549-4400 (I use these guys and can vouch for their work) or Gerry Cosby in Manhattan (always most expensive option)
Glad to see I am not the only one having problems…my wife ordered me a custom with MY last name and number on the back, and Modells canceled it. I am going to try to order again…
Very strange. I’m no waiting until the roads are customizable and I’ll do a 2 for 1 something deal.
