First attempt for hockey kilt

[possingk]

So, why is there such a Buffalo fan in PA?
Did you come from the land of the wing originally?
I have found MANY, MANY Buffalo transplants down here. Most just got sick of the frigid cold.

Both my wife and I are originally from Buffalo I have been in PA for about 7 years, after college, I followed jobs for a while and this is where I ended up. Lots of transplants from Buffalo due to weather, high taxes and lack of jobs.

I'm sure when Charmin had to donate toilet paper to city hall so they could have some doesn't bode too well:rolleyes: . My friend Bill told me. His family is from North Collins, and most still live there. I call him "Buffalo Bill!" He is related to the Austins/Keiths and married a Campbell girl. By contrast, I am related to the MacNeils, Wallaces, probably the Gordons (by Todd) and claim GUNN (by the Wilsons, though hit a wall in that part of family too in actual geneology). I love to pick on him with the Gunn/Keith thing.
He keeps me updated on the Bill and Sabers, and sometimes the Bisons (though he is more a football and hockey fan).

The kilt looks nice, Gotta jersey to wear with it yet? I'd LOVE to see how they look together!

I don't have the new slug jersey (they are pretty hard to get right now) My wife does have a vintage home jersey (white) that I will probably wear with this kilt. It is now washed, and it seemed to hold togeher well, so when I take the pictures for the show us your pictures section I will wear that jersey with it.

The kilt turned out great, Keith! I love the addition of the old-school patch...much nicer than the "Buffaslug."

Thanks sav. The nice thing is the old school patch was easier to find as well.

For the leafs kilt and for my next sabres kilt I am going to go back to old school jersery's and just have thre stripes on the bottom of the kilt. To make it look like the bottom of the jersey. The reason my stripes were so crazy (and difficult) is because of the new jersey's and the stripes now going vertical instead of horizontal.

I really did enjoy making it, and especially since it turned out exactly like I had it envisioned in my head.

That is just awsome

Keith,

I have been following your progress in this thread with interest, not because I intend following your example (I know that is WAY beyond me) but because I admire your talent. However, I am intrigued to understand the shaping of the yellow 'flashes'. Is there a particular reason for them to be shaped in that curved manner?

I know nothing about American sport, and very little about British sport, so no doubt I am missing something obvious to every sport-loving American, but perhaps you would kindly put me out of my misery!!

Ham, many American sports teams have curved stripes like that in their jersey, primarily just to brighten up the jersey. It's quite prevalent in American Football, and Hockey. I believe Keith added them to the kilt to mimic those stripes on the jersey.
