I have had this jersey for 4, maybe 5 years and has held up great. I use it for drop-in's 2-4 times a month and it has been washed around once a month. No evidence of any wear, super light. It does run big, I ordered XL (5'9, 165) and it's almost a goalie jersey. But it's so confortable and light, I have just continued to use it (Gretzky tuck-in in the right pants). Definetly order based on regular shirt size. As for the color, i would say light grey to silver... it's definetly not white, but i've never had a problem at a drop-in (unless someone with grey is playing on the dark side)
