Does anyone know where to get the cheapest car flags? I already have one, but want more
Canadian Tire sells them for $20+tax I think
Got mine at London Drugs 2 seasons ago for $17.99+tax or something like that.

additional help to fight fake jerseys
no1 - the nhl logo
fakes: you can flex/bend the nhl logo easily
real: the nhl logo is a lot harder, made of more layers so you cant bend it much if at all
no2 - the distance between the nhl logo and the VANCOUVER lettering
link to fake - notice how close the logo is to the letter O
my real jersey - notice distance is quite far apart comparatively

look at how the numbers have completely wrinkled up
I'm going to use your pic as an example if you don't mind.
Also, if your back number is wrinkly/folded, try turning your jersey inside out and iron the numbers. Should fix folded/wrinkly-ness a bit.
Not sure how you can fix the bubbly/wrinkled nameplate though

thanks for the tip, i ll try that when i get a chance!
Yup, saw that they had Kassian and Booth [which the team stores didn't]
Not sure about the other locations you mentioned.
Also got my Lappy t-shirt there too, and snagged their last 2010 Team Canada Olympic jersey
Collector's Den and Game On Sports have the big names (Lu, Sedins, Kes, Burr).

Thanks for the FAQ help Taelin.
I picked up a 40th Anniversary patch from VancitySports a few days ago.
I'm absolutely stoked to pick up my 40th Anniversary Kesler jersey and newly stitched Kassian jersey from PCC tomorrow

Ohhhh Baby.

No problem! I spend way too much time wandering around NHL stuff shops in my free time anyway. I swear the guy at the Metrotown Collector's Den recognises me now.
I should get my stuff stitched at PCC though; so much cheaper! So quite far away though...

Treat the jersey as "delicate" when you wash it. And never ever spin-dry it or put it in the drier.
I'm holding out on my Kassian jersey for the time being.
VanCitySports does have some good shirts and things of that nature, but the little rat that runs it knows not a thing about hockey jerseys. The rest of the employees are the same. Don't go there for anything jersey related. I've seen that slimy bast*rd screw up so many jerseys and then start spewing bullsh*t about why it's accurate etc.

Yeah I've read that before but it's comparing fakes to authentic edge jerseys that the players wear on the ice.
Not many people own $300 edge jerseys which led me to create a fakes vs premier jersey in my free time
Hey CookieCrumbs!
Did you decide who to put on your authentic alternate jersey yet?
And agreed about VanCitySports. The owner is still there, but there's a new guy that works there as a cashier. He's a pretty cool guy to talk to lol. Got my 40th patch from him.
I have never washed my jersey, lol
actually now that i think about it, the wrinkle and stuff might depend on what year you got the jersey not the store
i got mine in 2006-2007, so that might have something to do with it. since the 2010 season i think the team store changed the materials of their patches. not 100% sure though.

bottom line... if you can get a jersey with name on the back, along with a fight strap for less than 200, its a fake!

Got a Hamhuis being done up as we speak. In fact, it should be ready for pick up on Monday. I wanted to wear it tomorrow to the game but, oh well.
I've got a home Edge 2.0 Team Issue that I've been saving to turn into a Kassian, but I don't want another jersey situation like the Oreskovich I had made up last season for Playoffs. Don't get me wrong I love the jersey. I had some pretty good times in it throughout last years run, which is why I would never have it stripped even though we most likely won't see Vic suit up for the Nucks again. Jersey obscurities can be short lived, but I appreciate them. Speaking of which, I saw a guy wearing an Ebbett jersey the other day. Gotta give the guy props for that. I guess everybody has their own reasons for the player they choose.

Friend of mine got his Edler jersey at the beginning of the 2010 season and the back numbers are bubbly/folded.
I believe it's the material the team store uses. It's thicker compared to other places, so when you sit down, the numbers get crunched up and folded.
The nameplate gets bubbly if you wash your jersey and air dry it after [I know from experience...
]. Always hang dry your jerseys after a wash my friends!I get what you're saying, but not entirely true. I got my Canucks Edge 1.0 authentic from River City Sports last year for $140. You can always find deals on Ebay and from time to time on Craigslist. You just have to know what you're looking for and how to distinguish the fakes. It's really not hard. Canuck fakes are pretty pathetic looking.
Agreed. I remember sitting beside a guy on the bus a few weeks ago and he was wearing his Schneider jersey. Gotta give THAT guy props. Haven't seen too many of those.
so you didnt get it with a name on the back then
No it was blank. But either way, it's not a fake and it was under $200. I've seen customized authentics on Kijiji for around $100.
