Jerseys - Logo is larger then expected. According to Pat, Allidin Graphics can remove the Firebird logo. Quote for a new logo is $25 - 30 embroidered logo. Silk screen would be $5 to remove logo. Tackle twill same as embroidered and after looking we all agree looks a little better. Discussed buying jerseys. Bauer are $10 a piece. Dangles the same. We may make an offer on all of them, 10 a piece for the Bauer and 5 for the others. This is pending until we can confirm prices with Alladin as well as removal of graphics. Ryan will contact Behind the mask to make sure the jerseys are still made new, so we can buy any additional that may be needed.
