Top: Game worn authentic

Bottom: Retail "authentic"

As y0u can see, there's a significant difference with the dimple-pattern on the shoulders. The fabric is a lot thicker as well. Game worn jerseys are made in Canada, retail jerseys are made in Indonesia.

Oddly enough, the text inside the collar seems to have more detail on the retail jerseys.

Another photo to show the dimple pattern. On the top jersey on the right you can see a square mark which is from the tracking chips NHL players have sewn into the jersey. The tracking chip is removed before the jerseys are auctioned off/sold by Fanatics.

Top: Game worn jersey has a smooth nameplate

Bottom: Retail jersey has a more rugged nameplate, and more arched

Top: Game worn jersey has a curved waist, which allows for the fight strap to be tucked in without it pulling down the jersey

Bottom: Retail jersey has a straight waist

Do you have any CCM 550 replica vs authentic comparisons?

The 550 replicas were a much better product than the reebok or adidas replica jerseys. The biggest differences were the weight of the materials, double sewn elbows and the lack of a fight strap. These days the adidas replicas come with a flimsy fight strap for God knows what reason.

Yeah, the Adidas jerseys are authentic in name only.

His birth certificate will actually say Henrik, but it’s Regina’s fathers name. Middle name will be Mark for my dad. Just happens to be a cool Rangers tie-in. So, no… I totally didn’t say to my wife “oh, sure, we can ‘name him after your dad’ honey”.

I've got a Henry myself. Dear God he has a lot of energy.... lol. Congrats

Also, totally named for Henrik but we just Americanized the name. His twin is Andrew for Drew Brees as we're huge Saints fans as well.

Ours will actually legally be Henrik as mama is born and raised in Poland and it’s a pretty traditional name there. So also totally named for Henrik!
