My Collection 2023 Edition: Vegas Golden Knights

They haven't been in the NHL for very long, but I already have a lot of Vegas jerseys, including a couple from their AHL farm team.

To say the Silver Knights had a rough season is putting it lightly. My buddy and I went to a HSK-San Diego game when I was visiting there and it was 7-0 San Diego…halfway through the game. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@onua3963]

One of my best friends is a Ducks fan and he got to give me a hard time about how Henderson was doing while I gave him a hard time about how bad the Ducks were doing :D Honestly a shame. I wished Manninen had gotten more opportunities, especially to get called up in the playoffs. Would've been one of the most obscure triple gold players ever.

[@amacce79]

Sounds like the last game of the year for VGK, but in our favor.

[@dmwd96]

A strong club in the NHL usually translates to a thinner prospect pool and thus a weaker AHL team. Of course not always the case, but it fits this example when looking at the current state of ANA & VGK and then their farm teams.

[@mcdaviddeservesbetter8]

People dislike the 2021 RR? It’s gorgeous.

[@amacce79]

Surprisingly, I never had an issue with itchiness with the gold jersey. I always wear a shirt underneath, but that is always the case with my jerseys.

[@JonathanGaeta]

I also wear shirts under my jersey. However I wear blank shirts as if I wear shirts with something on it it’ll be exposed from the jersey

[@onua3963]

Same here. Itchniess would bother me on any jersey without the undershirts.

[@icydiamonds3747]

Absolutely love the black reverse retro jersey. Gotta get one myself. The font as well as the glow in the dark is a cool touch too

[@TJM_PlayByPlay]

The hate from people for the RR V1 is confusing to me because I love the jersey and the callback to the Las Vegas Thunder with the striping. It looked great outdoors as well.

[@isaacwest276]

I absolutely adore Vegas branding. Definitely top notch. The red jersey is the only one I don't like and yet I still appreciate everything they did with it, I liked that they used the secondary logo, I liked that they did a v-striping pattern, and I liked that they tried red. I suspect that they will have lots of great jerseys in their future, and if we get a really ugly one it will be one of the greatest ugly jerseys ever. As of right now I have just the golden jersey and I like it more than any other I own. All jerseys look better in person than on screen, but that's never been more true than with that sparkling, chainmail-like texture!

[@reevohere]

I love the V striping is a call back to the Las Vegas Thunder on the red retros. And i like that it's using the alternate logo as the chest logo, as much as i love the barbute V helmet, it's nice that they used it.

[@damienabrusley3403]

I agree! I love the Vegas branding and mascot name! I am not even a Vegas fan, but more of just an NHL fan.

[@willaf3]

Vegas fans like the Red Jersey, Ebay they go for 400+ pending on the size.

[@Rockin_Ross]

I’m chomping at the bit for a 2023 updated collection video. It’s been a while since you’ve done one, so I imagine you’ve got some great new ones to show.😎❤️

[@KevbotFalconhammer]

I can't believe I didn't notice the V in the Vegas Jersey until this video. Now I can't unsee it, and I'm amazing I didn't notice before lol. Rolled a 1 on that perception check.

[@reevohere]

Lol you're not the first...but imagine how even more people dont notice the H in the horse armor on the silver knights jersey

[@brendanl9715]

Still need that away and a RR2.0, but awesome stuff Shannon!

[@humblelad]

Vegas' design has grown on me, like it a lot now. The shiny gold helmets make my eyes bleed and yet somehow it feels right. Love the sparkly gold on the jersey though, and even the one that just says Vegas in Rangers style is pretty good.

[@alvininthechipmonks]

Keep the VGK/HSK content coming shannon!! Love to see it :)

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

I LOVE the retro red. Away with the gold TRON helmets, please. I have nightmares about a VGK - LA Kings game with both teams wearing their shiny TRON helmets. Both of Henderson's jerseys look awesome.

[@nathanspreitzer6738]

I personally really really like the red one

[@travisfocht6274]

Red one is my favorite to be honest

[@DarkHorse902]

That RR1.0 was absolutely gorgeous! It was the very first one of the series that i picked up. The only thing i wish they would have changed would have been to not put the grey stripe next to the red. The black there would have been much sharper, or even the gold. The grey just doesnt contrast as nicely against the red. I love that logo and the full red jersey though.

[@damienabrusley3403]

I enjoy watching your channel! Enjoy your vacation!

[@user-vy1xe2tg5f]

Shannon you should do a hockey meet up next time you're out here (in Vegas)! Roller hockey is at an all time high out here

[@kasandrapurplekitten]

They knocked it out of the Park on all of them..

[@jayjayson9613]

Curious as to why the Golden Knights wouldn't wear their gold helmets with their gold jerseys and their gold gloves? They refused to do it all season!😊

[@Lazzar1958]

OMG those gold helmets! Even the Knights of the Round Table would laugh at them! 😑

[@jayjayson9613]

@@Lazzar1958 might as well go all out. It's Vegas after all.

[@Lazzar1958]

@@jayjayson9613 I suppose, but I remember when the Golden Seals changed their green and gold skates in 1970-71 season to white skates!! 😆 I guess I'm too old school with traditional NHL attire.

[@jacklogansmith7646]

Metallic gold and matte gold... it feels like they should make a good combo and compliment each other well. But they do not.

[@vickybrogan6959]

I'm a VGK fan, and I gotta say that I HATE those gold helmets. I've heard they look better in person, but I've not been to a game when they're wearing them, and on television the team looks like a bunch of C-3POs on ice. I have the feeling that the gold jersey/helmet combo would clash, but that's just my opinion.

[@Shiny_Sandshrew]

my father also loves the red star & sword logo. He has a bright red shirt with it & I think he even got the same hat you mentioned

[@nathanfaas1293]

The red jersey is their best jersey and honestly it’s not close

[@quag311]

Henderson Silver Knights Away jersey is nice.

[@toyrunner3288]

The first retro is in reference of the Las Vegas Wranglers!

[@crazynova23]

There is an argument for customizing the new RR jersey, since the numbers really make the jersey.

[@gunnarguggs2725]

I think the main jerseys are great, but the gold doesn't look right, at least on TV.

[@alfiesmullet1311]

Was always curious what your jersey budget was

[@benjaminvillemaire3508]

I like these kind of videos. Keep it up! I hope you do all teams

[@LatinxGoyslop1994]

He will

[@CanadianCookinginUSA_Eh]

A beautiful collection indeed. :)

[@mcdbq_]

I’ve always thought Vegas’s jerseys would be so much better if they made the logo bigger.

[@chickenfkeryay]

The minor league jersey is amazing

[@eastvanisfun]

wow I'm not very perceptive because i never noticed the prominent v in the knights logo

[@csharp48]

I'm a huge Knights fan from Vegas and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to notice

[@eastvanisfun]

@@csharp48 next you'll tell me there was a v hidden somewhere in Vancouver's flying vee jersey

[@tajgervan5435]

Huge Amazing Collection! how do you afford all of them lol! very cool how you have all of the older and rarer jerseys!

[@isaacwest276]

I know he did a video about that a while ago where he gave a list of his main sources and he's always looking for deals. I don't remember the video but I know he puts a link to Ben H Sports in the description of all of his videos. He gets a lot of jerseys from him.

[@KDG702]

Think a part of “affording it” has to do with time. I couldn’t afford all the jerseys behind him in this video today. But say I bought a handful of jerseys each year scattered here and there, over time, the collection gets pretty big. Collecting is just one of those things you slowly chip away at

[@nicksanderson5059]

Wait, who tf doesn’t like the red?

[@clydeblair9622]

I have no desire to ever visit Vegas but I like the team. The new Philly?

[@micjoseph6250]

Awesome!

[@ericesterby2895]

I like the “VEGAS” jersey until you get to the numbers. I may be in the minority, but I think the numbers on the third jersey are horrid.

[@PhillipGD]

you're not. the numbers are terrible. the 1 looks especially bad. I ended up going with Eichel because I thought the 9 wasn't too bad

[@csharp48]

It's a reference to the Stardust (old Vegas hotel) lettering. I love how weird it is

[@zacksmith9105]

I think the reverse retros are their best jerseys. But that gold one might be one of the worst in the league imo

[@NyRangersfan1357]

You should show the names too

[@klompsauce]

That material looks the same as the Kings 3rd w/Gretzky era logo, it’s incredibly uncomfortable

[@csharp48]

It is the same material. They switched to it after Vegas started using it. The new home and aways have it to, for the silver lining.

[@Eric-sp7fh]

Is it just me, or are the "authentic" gold jerseys totally different looking than the ones the players actual wear. The ones in the stores are very sparkly and scratchy but the ones they wear on the ice look like much different material. Are the players' versions just worn down or what?

[@Halfhoff]

The red Reverse Retro is one of my favourite jerseys but weirdly I didn't buy. Why? I really dislike the look of the chevrons on the bottom. If they brought out that jersey with conventional striping it would sell like crazy. I remember seeing it in the outdoor game and thinking just how much the red colour popped.

[@joef5416]

I do like the white road jerseys
