OT: Official Jersey and Merch Thread II

[Back in Black]

Worth a shot - I was wondering if anyone has any authentic or replica all-star jerseys from the 2012 game in Ottawa. Please PM me if you do. Thanks a lot

check your pm, or check out Ebay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2011-12-NHL-...=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item4600f1870c&_uhb=1

Colour on the logo is off. What else would you look for?

Colour on the logo is off. What else would you look for?

On those two jerseys specifically, from what I can tell just from those pictures?

SENS:
- color is off
- the front logo is "bubbling" at the nose, which means it's made of twill, which means it's fake
- the interior neck tagging is off
- customization on the back is off (albeit very slightly, but in a way that's easy to spot if you're looking for it because of the consistency in this problem among fake jerseys)
- you should be able to see the large stitching outline for the fight strap on the back. You can't because they used a cheap small-ass strap with no twill reinforcement.

BRUINS:
- everything I said about the Sens jersey
- shoulder patches are "folded", which is like a huge giveaway. Honestly, that's the biggest giveaway: that perfectly folded shoulder patch to me makes it 99.99999999% fake.
- bubbling all over the customization on the back.

There's probably tons more clues in person, but those aren't the best pictures.

The easiest way to spot an Edge fake is to look at the fight strap stitching or ask for a picture of the inside fight strap.

On fake jerseys, it'll be stitched as a small dinky square. On real jerseys, it's a large rectangle with a second rectangle inside. It's hard to explain, but the shape is completely different on fake jerseys.

If you look inside, real jerseys will always use a piece of twill (same shiny material that is used for numbers). Except for on Indo-Edge jerseys where the twill will always be white, on Edge 1.0/2.0 jerseys the twill will be the same colour as the jersey. (IE. Red for Senators home).

Fake jerseys usually use a scrap piece of the fake jersey fabric. So it looks like someone cut up a chunk of Reebok Premier fabric and used that to attach the fight strap.


Here is a photo comparison I found on Ice Jerseys after digging around on google.

Very good deal on a black 92-93 replica if you can make it down to Barrhaven.

The older CCM replicas are a lot smaller, so it's probably more like a large.

Does someone remember which poster was asking about a plush spartacat a while back?

There are a few on Kijiji I stumbled on when looking for Senators stuff, thought I'd pass on the links here since I don't remember their username.

iirc the old jerseys were never faked, or atleast rarely rarely rarely faked.

Yes.

To my knowledge, there are no counterfeits made of any of the pre-Edge Senators jerseys.

Nice find.

 

[saskriders]

Just want to be certain

 

[saskriders]

Yes.

To my knowledge, there are no counterfeits made of any of the pre-Edge Senators jerseys.

Nice find.

And it is in Calgary too

 

[danielpalfredsson]

So I guess someone picked up that $20 Senators jersey since the ad is now gone.

There definitely are pre-Edge Sens fakes, but they're phenomenally obvious fakes. You'd know one if you saw one.

This, for instance, is a fake pre-Edge Sens jersey:

Fakes exist, but they're horribly obvious.

I was going to buy this but just purchased a white(home) Lalime for $40 in Toronto.
Not sure if I need 2 Lalime jerseys

 

[saskriders]

Picked up that Lalime jersey today

Let's not confuse fakes with knock-offs. This example is not a knock-off of a jersey that was worn by the Sens, whereas the knock-offs are!

...............Oh knock it off you guys!

I should have clarified, that I've never seen any CCM/Koho replica knock offs in my few years collecting, so I assumed none or very few exist.

Regarding the strange colours of that jersey, I wish CCM/Reebok would take a page out of Starter's book and release different colours that were never used of certain jersey designs.

Knock, knock, who's there!

Uhh... BonkTastic?
