Both sets were layered. I don’t think the Rangers started kiss-cutting stuff until the Reebok 6100 years.

Sleeve markings match this gamer: https://www.gamewornauctions.net/products/1993_94_Paul_Coffey_Detroit_Red_Wings_Game_Worn_Jersey_Turn_Back_The_Clock_Team_Letter-5392-128.html Holy ****.

Agreed. Well, if we're going to go all out on the accuracy critique, the angle of the diagonal cut on the top of the back 1 is way off as well.
-
Should be ultrafil. The letter font is also wrong, so it’s a good excuse to just change out the nameplate. 😀
-
One of the pictures has the post-1993 CCM tag, but the tag in the other pics is the correct “Ultrafil” one. So that means more than one jersey is being pictured here, how do you know which one you going to get? That seller always seems to pull some shady sh!t; you can’t trust anything he sells.
-
Both brand and size tags are fake. The material in the neck has the wrong texture. Sorry, but the jersey is fake. -
Best thing is to post pictures here. Something is off; as someone else has said, there are no size 48 Edges, and the size 48 6100 (pre-Edge) Reeboks should not have the 7187 designation on the tags. Many fake jerseys do though.
-
It should be; the small crests on the 46’s are only an issue with the 2017/18 jerseys. I don’t know about the Hawks, but for the Kings the Parley crests on a size 46 are actually 1/4” to 1/2” bigger than the crests on the home/roads.

Sundin's first set (1.0) was a size 60 in both the home and road jerseys. There were also white 1.0's game-issued for him in size 58 and 60+, and a blue 58 but they were not actually worn in games. There was also a blue 60+ worn in the preseason only. Source: MeiGray 2007/08 Population Report

As particular as I am, I have let the Maska vs. CCM neck tag issue slide a couple of times when doing up a jersey as a 91-93. What I won’t do though, is a pre 91 jersey like the 90/91 Hawks ASG, using a jersey with the post-1991 tagging. The 90/91 should have only one tag, whereas the post-1991 ones have the additional small size tag. What’s even more important to me is that the Hawks 90/91 would be expected to have the 80’s-style fight strap with the rounded buttons, while the ones with the CCM neck tag should all have the flat-button strap. That’s a bit too much for me to ignore. But I can still understand why someone wouldn’t care if you can’t see any of these differences while the jersey is being worn, as well as the more extreme position where everything has to be a perfect match.

Only a few teams used airknit nameplates on 2.0’s; for example Pittsburgh and Ottawa did because the airknit shoulder panel on those models came down lower than normal, and the nameplate was placed over the airknit panel instead of the Edge stretch mesh back panel like on most other jerseys. Other teams, like NYR and (I think) Chicago sometimes fluctuated between stretch mesh and airknit nameplates, presumably depending on whether stretch mesh was available at the time. Boston used airknit, apparently because their customizer, Custom Crafted, didn’t seem to give a crap if it didn’t match the mesh back panel.

I agree, the material was like the on-ice ones, which I like better than what they used on the Indos. I added a fight strap to the one I had, but one thing I could do nothing about was how the fabric panels were stitched together. The sleeves and side panels were more cheaply stitched together, like on replicas. The ends of the fabric panels are folded into each other, leaving just a groove visible from the outside, and the stitches are only visible from the inside of the sleeve. This is one way you can tell replicas from authentics when you only have a picture that doesn’t show any tagging.

The retail MiC All-Stars were last year (St. Louis 2020), but that was not the year they were promoted as “Parley,” which were the 2019 ones in San Jose. And yes, the 2020 retail MiC’s had no double elbows or fight straps. They also seemed to fit about 2 sizes smaller than the marked size.
-
My last 2 orders from them, delivered through DHL, were amazingly quick, like 2 days.
-
That's actually not bad considering how many NHL jerseys they had to do, what with the alts and reverse retros too.
-
Just FYI, Avs authentics in the 90’s (and essentially throughout the 2000’s as well) were not available in size 44. The Starters went down to as small as 46, and ProPlayers to 48. (Just mentioning this so you don’t miss a chance to pick up a 46 because you’re holding out for a 44 that doesn’t exist.)
-
Sublimated coloration is applied only to the outer surface of the jersey, so if you apply cleaning solvents like acetone or Goof-Off and rub, you will almost certainly remove some of the coloring as well.
-
Also has factory customization (plasticky, with printed colors).

Both MeiGray and Classic sites seem to be down again. ☹️
-
The Kings will wear their reverse retros 4 times (1 road game also), plus their Heritage Chevys 3 times, not to mention their silver alts 6 times. For a 56 game season, that’s almost half of their home games where they won’t be wearing the usual black ones. I could see how they wouldn’t be able to use the reverse retros that many times, with 5 different jerseys in a shortened season.
-
Supposedly Gretzky wouldn’t allow it unless Bruce McNall could attend the game, which couldn’t happen until McNall was released from prison, which occurred in 2001.

A lot of info about the lettering is available here; see the “Game Worn Specs” section: https://www.predsandthreads.com

I’ve always thought 1990/91 was the last year with the round strap buttons. Pretty much every gamer from 90/91 that I’ve seen had them, so I figured it wasn’t just leftover 89/90 stock being used in 90/91. If you’ve seen a lot of 90/91 gamers with the new flat buttons, I’d appreciate it if you could send some links.

The Adidas button appeared on the retail jerseys only during the first year of production, which was 2017/18. In the following years the button was omitted. The jerseys from 2017/18 and later are essentially the same, except that size 46 and smaller ones from 2017/18 have smaller-sized crests compared to those on sizes 50 and up. After 2018, the size 46 crests were made larger so that they were the same size as the size 50 and higher ones. The size 42 & 44 crests remained smaller.

You are correct.
