About

I started this site as a place containing hockey jersey calendars in April of 2006. Since then it has grown to encompass other sports as well and has evolved into what I hope will become a small community of people interested in documenting the different historys and designs of the sports jersey. To remember those that wore them, and showcase those that wear them now - and to offer a reference of sorts to an often underrated part of sports history and culture.

In addition there are the widgets, small web programs, that run on Dashboard (Mac OSX) as well as Yahoo! Widgets on both PCs and Macs. There are some that show league scores, standings etc, for the NHL, NFL, CFL, using team jerseys. As well as others that are dedicated to the database...and a few that have nothing to do with sports at all. Oh, and the Cheesesteak of Suffering. These are all free and can be downloaded via the Widgets section of the site. For websites there are some Flash based widgets, found in their own section via the Resources section on the Home page.

A forum was added in January of 2008, to allow for discussions, requests, and to overall make it easier to communicate regarding errors etc. This is also a place where you can get help and learn how to make the little jerseys that are here and get tips for the different design programs used.

Starting in late 2007 I opened the database up to submissions, in the hopes of covering more ground and to give people an opportunity to showcase their work and add to the site. All of the templates used are available for those interested in contributing. There are literally millions of jerseys, and as one person I could never dream of even making a dent in that on my own. I foresee the site becoming a place composed of many people's creativity and one that can inspire others.

This site is not affiliated with any of the leagues or players represented. I respect the copyrights of them, and have done my best not to infringe upon them with the use of their logos or identitys for the sake of profit or merit. If anything, this site is a homage to them and a place to celebrate their existance and thank them for making our lives just a little better.

I'd be greatly appreciative if people did not redistribute the materials and widgets found here. I have a standard copyright and ownership of the widgets and I do not charge or make money off them. Sites that redistribute them with ads, and profit from them, hurt me as a developer. If you are such a site, please have the common courtesy to ask my permission. The same applies to the templates and any tutorials available here. Simply direct people via a link. Jerseys that have been submitted to the site remain the property of their creators.

Although the vast majority of the work done on this site is my own, I am greatly indebted to a number of people who have been of great help. EW, where ever you are now I hope you're doing alright, for being there in the beginning. DA for adding his talents to among other things the site's nifty jersey appearance, testing things, and doing what he can when has time. As well as anyone who has ever written an e-mail with a positive word.

Me
If it's of any interest, I'm originally from Philadelphia. I live in Stockholm, Sweden with my wife and two cats. I work in design and maintain this website as a hobby in my spare time...somehow E copes with it and me.
