I haven't bought anything from them during the season blowout sale. What's the return policy? Don't want to get stuck with an Indo Edge. Looking at both a home and away. Its such a good deal, its hard to pass up.

read, research, search, read some more, ask a question, read, research, etc this is board is a give and take exchange of knowledge. the answers to your questions have possibly already been answered, if you take the time to search and read through threads. don't expect suddenly everyone to jump on your question(s) and answer it immediately. or within 2-hours like you did and then insult people. not a great way to begin any relationship, even an anonymous one on a forums board. grow up, grow a pair and learn some patience and communications skills.

totally disagree reebok tried to re-invent the jersey when it didn't need to be. they chose to go with a template process that simplified their end - the manufacturing side. what they did was change and in some cases ruin some teams uniforms to fit their template. personally i think the CCM era jerseys were some of the best and most distinctive jerseys done. teams had different looking uniforms and didn't look like one another. other than the lighter weight material i don't think they've done anything to advance jerseys. from a player standpoint i don't mind the lighter weight, but i also know the jerseys aren't bulletproof like the older jerseys. i also prefer and like the bigger traditional cut jerseys, because they have more room inside and aren't so tight. no special CCM's? seriously? i'll take a Whalers jersey any day. there is nothing special about Edge's, when you consider the fact that they essentially took all the previous CCM's and just changed the cut and added piping. what's special about that? when it comes to price levels and profit, if Reebok wasn't so greedy with their pricing they could make more. consider how many counterfeits are out there and the low price points they sell for. there is a strong indicator of where the market is when it comes to price point. they lower the cost of the replicas to provide a $80 - 100 jersey they sell significantly more, by simply displacing the fakes. bringing down the cost of the authentics to be more in line with traditional pricing of $200-300 they will greatly increase the sales of their top line jerseys. the end of season sales are an indicator as well, because suddenly you see a flurry of people buying new jerseys because they finally fall back in line with what consumers feel is a pair price. i go into a 's Sporting goods here in Chicago and they have racks of BHawks jerseys, but come April-May-June and they have little inventory left. suddenly the racks are reduced to little to nothing on the floor.

which is the problem. for whatever reason the NHL sees and handles this relationship from the wrong side. they seem to take the stance that Reebok is the client. someday when the league (likely driven by pissed off owners) gets the NHL to finally address the situation will this change. it almost carries with it the old notion and mindset of the NHL 'just being happy' to get its piece of the pie after the NFL, MLB and the NBA. the league and the owners are losing money due to reebok's slow and horrible business practices. they have allowed what was a cottage industry in counterfeit reproductions to blossom completely out of control. to the point that i think it's safe to say at least 50% if not more of the jerseys you see at a live game are knock offs. the owners, league and Reebok could make more in the long run by satisfying the demands, instead of bitching about it. while at the same time bringing costs down so more fans would also purchase official replicas/authentics. frankly if i was an owner and saw all the counterfeits walking around my arena i would be livid. the NHL and Reebok have this entire 'relationship' so jacked it's to the point of being ridiculous.

F Reebok! as a supplier that is there job. a job they committed to when they took on the league wide contract. the money they make comes from meeting and satisfying their clients (teams and fans) requests. Instead they wish to sit back, cut corners and count their money. they seem to want to cut costs internally, while raising prices externally. while doing this to put the manufacturing process on an assembly line that doesn't need to be touched. god forbid they have to actually work to meet the needs of a client. the day they see this as an opportunity rather than nuisance, will be the day i hope Reebok finally can satisfy the demands and needs of the teams and their fans. following the precedent they set already with the purple Legends jersey, i guess they didn't learn their lesson. there is demand for them, which means you make money. a new Legends jersey means another new opportunity. such a backward company

seem to recall someone was looking for a red Panthers jersey. i don't know squat about their gear, so you'll have to proof it out for authenticity http://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-worn-Florida-Panters-jersey-/271418537222?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f31ce3506

tyvm...btw i sent you a PM

i see a lot of those AS jerseys at card and collector shops, they are all trash counterfeits. they spend $20 bucks on a crap jersey, get it autographed and then charge $XXX for it. the uneducated buy them up because it has player ________ signature on them. i particularly like the 'authentication' certificate many of them come with to make it look further legit.

where did the link for all the team's customerizers go? i can't find it and don't recall the page it was on. perhaps that needs to be moved and stickied to page 1 for quick reference

USA Hockey has replicas. i haven't poured over them yet to check how close to authentic they are though http://www.shopusahockey.com/store/c/99-Jerseys.html

LA has been doing this the since at least 2011-12. hats, shirts and hoodies. i never paided attention to it until some people started trying to find the pieces and commenting they couldn't find them for sale anywhere

Cowboys were did you get the kit from?

heard back from him and i guess TT moved and has a new #. he got a hold of them what's the usual turn around time for EPS? TT right now has a 4-6 week turn around

sounds like Reebok also chose to go wit a far cheaper alternative for the crests by not going with his embroidered version. typical Reebok approach to the jerseys. trim the costs, speed up production and increase the price. i would like to see his crest in comparison now just to see what they shot down
