We had no issues identifying CCM authentic back in the day.

Adidas selling retail jerseys as "authentic" and adding a fight strap to it, ruined the whole concept of authentic jerseys.

Everyone thinks they have authentic jerseys now when they purchase them in the store (Adidas branded) but it's still a replica.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Does anyone know what happened with those class action lawsuits against adidas regarding the authentic jerseys? I remember adidas' defense being that authentic just means officially licensed, real, and genuine and not that it meant on ice model jerseys. The original lawsuit mentioned that in descriptions adidas had given the impression they were on ice jerseys but those descriptions were from years back and since removed.

Man, just looking around @ ebay and bullshit NHL "stores" - there's a lot of f***ery out there and bullshit knockoffs.

I hope people know the difference.

For a first-time buyer, what are some of these “differences” I should know or look out for?

Interested in a Chytil jersey (assuming Drury doesn’t do something stupid yet), yet in the MSG online store HE’S NOT EVEN A SELECTABLE OPTION. Wtf?!?!?

You can buy from the nhl shop and have them customize with the player and number you want. Its a safer bet then trying ebay. Even if there is no drop down selection for chytil you can manually enter his number and name. Buy a size larger then you normally wear as jerseys fit small.

a difference from addidas/fanatics brand. If you purchase a fanatics jersey the logo on the front is a different marterial then an addidas and the name/numbers are heat pressed instead of stitched.

When buying on ebay a few hints for fakes/real are color of the jersey, size of the logos, see if the logo is flat or if it has waves in it. Personally i have a hard time distinguishing fakes and real due to lightning but some stand out immediately as fake. Check the shield by the neck and make sure its sewn flush to the jersey. i got duped by a fake because i over looked a few issues.

Feel free to reach out to me so I can help you check websites, Ebay auctions etc. I'm happy to help. I do not mind spending time on this to make sure a fan gets a proper jersey.

Agreed! Criminal!

We lost.

Yeah, I've been a complete slacker in making my list of stuff to sell. Lazy ass.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Fellas,

I’m looking to sell my red #10 Panarin shersey. It has a few minor tears and some light staining (same color as the fabric so not super obvious).

Other than that it is still in great shape, haven’t worn it since game 7 of the Lightning series. Interesting trades considered.

Anyone have any idea what this is worth? 1992 or 93, Cosby tag, fight strap, etc... a little worn, etc... I see one on eBay (Messier) and the ask is $400?

Also, I have put some of the stuff listed above on Mercari.

Regarding customization through Cool Hockey and this is all contingent on whether they still have the materials.

I have an original Lafreniere reverse retro jersey. I might want to consider getting it customized to Fox. I have some questions that I hope previous experience with CH with some of you will assist me in my decision making.

1. Does the nameplate need to be as long for Fox as it was originally for Lafreniere?
2. Would only the "1" be removed for "2" or would both numbers get removed and then the 23 get placed on the back and sleeves?
3. Does it matter if the numbers and nameplate were hand stitched? Mine weren't.
4. Does the overall product once returned look like nothing was ever done to it?

The retail jerseys (Made in Indonesia) are much thinner material and removing stitched numbers will leave a residue. It is more noticeable with white jerseys as the colours "bleed into the fabric" so to speak.

There are a couple of options you can explore. My first suggestion would be Mongo's jersey restorations. I have worked with him in the past, albeit mostly on authentic jerseys (Made in Canada) but he can answer all these questions in way more depth, and with more expertise than any of us here probably can.

I second working with Mongo's. He's a great guy and is pretty straight up about what he can and can't do.

So our move is done, the new neighborhood is great, the new job starts tomorrow, everything is good. Our furniture and belongings were delayed and won’t be here until next weekend, which is a pain in the booty and I had to go out and buy some work clothes for the interim and we’re working off of two folding chairs and an air mattress, but… we’re here, the furniture is coming, a job with a good wage is starting. All is good.

Except I have $140 left in my bank and won’t get paid for 2 weeks. So, Fox or Zib home authentic, size 50 or blank home authentic size 46 are available. $150 for the stitched ones, $75 for the blank authentic. I’ll send em to you USPS priority as soon as my belongings get here. Just need to find myself some breathing room for the weeks until payroll kicks in for me. So close to a fresh start! Finally debt free as well, but no CC because my credit was wrecked prior. It’s getting healthy now, but I don’t have a credit card at the moment to float us. Nor would I want to go down that path right now - we could rack up $1000 and then get sucked into paying minimums because we want to bank some money. I’d rather sell my jerseys or PlayStation and use money we already have than use credit. For now.

Is it me or does it look like they’re not using nameplates this season? I didn’t see one on Quick just now or Vesey. Maybe it’s my crappy cable feed?

The white jerseys definitely have nameplates and the pre season blues had them as well.

 

[RosensRug]

Had 3 jerseys done by Arena wear this week. $146 per jersey after work, tax, and shipping incase anyone is curious.

Quality of work is still top notch, highly recommend Joe and his team.

[GENESISPuck94]

Will I have to remortgage my house to get one?

 

[Cygnus 2112]

Very interesting. I think they’ve worn out that Liberty head so this is a nice change of pace.

Shameless jersey flaunt.

Now when will we see the SS design?
