Casey 145 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 We're planning on going to one of the Meijer promotions with Helm, and I'd like to get my jersey signed. Now I know the basic black Sharpie is the classic, but is it the best for the signature? I'm probably going to sign one of my sets of scrubs, and see how the Sharpie holds up.

WizardOfOz30 1,886 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 I think when they guys have their own supply and it's their own jersey they'll sign it in blue on the white numbers. I've heard that the blue is best because the black tends to yellow over time. I've only got one autographed jersey, Osgood, and I don't wash it of course I won't wear it outside my house either. I'm not sure what the opinion is about the autograph holding up over time and washing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 145 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 I wasn't looking to wash it often, but I figured washing my scrubs after signing could simulate years of wear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit40oz 21 Report post Posted January 19, 2011 I have an yzerman away jersey (away jersey at the time, so red) signed on the 9 on the back from 1996. it was signed in black sharpie and hasnt faded or "yellowed" or anything like that. its been in a closet the majority of the time though. i think white numbers signed in blue look awesome though. you really cant go wrong with a blue or black sharpie if its on a white number, but id probably go black if i were getting it signed. if you have a white jersey with a red number, i would definitely strictly use black. ive seen alot of red numbers signed in silver that looked really nice, and i tried for it last summer on a chelios jersey and it came out kinda light and not too bold. its nothing id ever sell, so its still fine with me, but kind of a bummer. i'd also probably bring my own sharpies to the meijer thing. when they do signings, the whole line pretty much gets the same pen used on everything. a black sharpie. id definitely bring one you know for sure is gonna be fresh. they have no problem with it either, i brought my own silver pen to get eaves on a puck sunday at meijers in northville.

Motown4013 350 Report post Posted January 20, 2011 I got my Zetty signed in a blue sharpie but the sharpie with the smaller tip. It looks great and has not faded (it was signed live 3 training camps ago) I love the Blue! Good luck and enjoy the signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
