We're back with another classic jersey from Erie, Pennsylvania! This is a bit more orange than the last one, and is intended to be a replica of the orange 1978-79 Erie Blades' jerseys as seen here.

The Blades took up residence in Erie as the first pro hockey team in the city starting with the 1975-76 season. They would flourish in the late 70s, winning their league in the 1978-79, 1979-80, and 1980-81 seasons wearing orange, white, and black.

This replica jersey is made to match the Blades' 1978-79 season jersey from their team photo as much as possible with modern manufacturing processes. It is more orange and features reversed color compared to the 79-80 replic a we released last winter. Grab this new one as well to complete your Erie Blades set of orange & white jerseys!

Our jerseys are modern replicas that capture the spirit of the vintage logos and styles from these teams. They are tough and durable for playing use while also high quality, comfortable jerseys for fans.

Product details for the jerseys:

- Made with lightweight, breathable mesh

- Jersey logo, striping and seams are fully embroidered

- Made to replicate the Blades' 1978-79 jersey style in as closely as possible using modern jersey production methods

- Jerseys do not come with a fight strap

- Materials sourced from Asia, jerseys imported from Canada

This jersey will NOT come with a name or number across the back. To order a customized jersey, please use the custom jersey product.

Please review the pre-order terms and our jersey return and exchange policy prior to purchase.

Hockey Jersey Size Chart

Generally speaking, the jersey sizing for adults is consistent with official NHL replicas from recent years. We strongly encourage consulting the size chart provided and comparing the measurements to jerseys you currently own. For a loose, traditional style jersey that will easily fit over a hoodie or sweatshirt, order your normal jersey size (i.e. if you buy Adult XL from the NHL, Adult XL is your best bet). If you are generally between sizes, we recommend the smaller size (i.e. if you sometimes wear L and sometimes wear XL, we recommend L).

The sizes below generally equate to numbered jersey sizing as follows, but use this as a guide and not a rule.

Small - 46, Medium - 50, Large - 52, XL - 54, 2XL - 56, 3XL - 60
