AgroCraig's Picks:

1. Charlie Conway's Mighty Ducks Jersey - $44.95
Quack! Quack! Quack! It's time to quack at your principals.  This jersey is made of polyester and has screen printed logos - so while it's not the same quality as an NHL replica jersey, it is sure to triple deke your way into someone's heart.  You'll want to order it a size up from a regular t-shirt size for max comfort - 2 sizes up if there's hockey pads involved.

That's where costume hoodies come in.  Whether you're wearing it out on a cool evening showing that you're mutant and proud or underneath your favorite jacket for added warmth and to preserve your secret identity, these hoodies will do the trick. My personal favorite is the Wolverine hoodie. Let's go, bub!
