I remember seeing a list of game-worn jerseys for sale from the Springfield Falcons a few years ago, and half the jerseys on the list were goal-cuts.

The guys wearing 56's can go to 58's, but the guys who were already in 58's will be out of luck. Virtually all goalies were already in 58G, so whatever a 58G is now, they are all stuck with it.
Don't want to start an argument, but some guys were wearing 60G last year and the year before (I'm not counting before the lock-out since lots of rules changed). Ridiculous goal cut are illegal for a long time, I know that, but the limit is 60G and 60. You also can order the Edge jerseys (the authentic ones) in size 60 so that mean they make them, if they make them it's because some pros wear them.
