I had to buy a blank and get it lettered due to limited quantities. I think they took a short cut with the letters and numbers. Pensgear told me k&b outfitters put the kits on the jerseys. I’ve never seen anyone put a stencil around the edge to make it look like 2 different pieces of twill. I have a diagonal 3rd jersey and it has a larger white and then a smaller yellow, both stitched separately. So if anyone can post a close up to see if they’re the same as mine, I’d appreciate it.

It’s called “reverse kiss cut” and is a very common way that jerseys are customized. Having two entire full sized pieces of twill is called “stacked twill.”
The question is, is it how this particular jersey is customized by the team? And are you going for absolute accuracy of what the team wears on the ice? That I don’t know, you’d have to do some digging. I’d start by asking the nerds at /r/hockeyjerseys.
I know the team jerseys for the 2008 Winter Classic were done RKC (I sent mine to the official team customizer to have it done like the on-ice product).
Either way, this looks like a very nice customization job.

I tweeted pensgear and they told that’s who letters their jerseys. I’m not sure if they meant for retail for the store or for the team. I should have asked. I did find pro knitwear and sent them an email to ask. I’m just waiting for a reply. I figured I’d get some info here while I waited. I found a thread on the hockey jerseys sub you directed me to that the kraken do it the way mine are. So I’m not sure what to believe at this point until pro knitwear gets back to me.

Too late now but I would personally never buy from pensgear or a team store. They don’t customize their jerseys “authentically” but they sell you the same price as they are Authentics
Hockey authentic is my go to for jerseys. Or send it out to get it customized. Pensgear is lower quality but they still charge high prices imo
