dsl135 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I can't speak to the accuracy of the font, but the quality of the work at Action Spot Sports is very good. They do the Sabres and Sharks on-ice jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) What would bother me more than the nameplate color is that the font is noticeably off. The letters should have diagonal clips on the corners of the holes and notches in the D, R, O and S. The back 8's are way too skinny with excessively elongated holes. What color is the captain's C, if there is one? Should be black on white, although I've seen a lot of road jerseys with the layers in the wrong order.

Here's a link to the auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111650485707?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I think it's overpriced, obviously, but that doesn't mean they won't accept a lower offer. The Captain's C is black on white. I never realized just how much variation is in the customization on these Jerseys. Admittedly, I am just getting into collecting (as evidenced by my questions in the sizing thread). There's so much to worry about. Fake vs real, replica vs authentic, ultrafil vs air-knit, sizing and customization differences/problems. It's enough to make your head spin. Thankfully, there is a wealth of knowledge in this forum and I have really learned a ton from reading over the past few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I would have the name redone. I use Action Spot for Mets jerseys, they do a great job with those. Someone told me they are the official customizer for the Mets, but I've never bothered to confirm that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 For the Mets? Do they not use Stitches anymore? I've been under that impression for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 For the Mets? Do they not use Stitches anymore? I've been under that impression for years now. I have not a clue. Just going by what someone told me, could be 100% wrong. They do a "spot" on job, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Well, thanks for the replies, guys. Think I'm gonna let this one go. For the price they're asking, the thing should be mint with 100% accuracy (IMO, anyway). The search continues... Meanwhile, if anyone is selling an on-ice 94-00 Flyers Lindros or Desjardins in away orange or alternate black, size 48, hit me up Didn't see much in the trading post section.

DC Red Wings Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Pretty sure that Majestic does MLB game jerseys for everyone now, and if they need something for events they go with someone else. At least that's what I have been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PensFan77 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Someone verify that this is a legit 1.0, please Sure looks like it. I've been watching it for a couple days http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/201461335310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'd say it looks fake. In 2011 Reebok no longer used the "Rbk" neck tag (should be the wordmark logo), and the texture of the collar and sleeve tips looks wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think that's fake too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PensFan77 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks guys. I wasn't quite sure, that's why I asked Looking at the neck tie, it appears to cover the shield as well, usually a dead giveaway of a fake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageATheM Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Another way to tell is I've never seen any laced up Reebok jerseys actually tied when they come new in the bag (the authentic laces are actually quite short and can be tied but would look different). As well the "5" in the size of the tag the vertical line in the upper part of the "5" has a lean to the right on a proper jersey, fakes are usually much more up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude_Abides Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I know this is last minute, but do you guys see any issues with this piece? The only thing I noticed is the crest looks a little weird...and the number stitching looks a bit scary. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=252155926596&alt=web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I had the same observations as you. Looks kinda sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the rest of it looks pretty screwy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spronger11 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Bought this from a buddy for a decent price. Not sure it's a legit jersey. It is a Ccm and so that helps me think it's not a RBK knockoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude_Abides Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I'm super confused with this jersey I might buy. Question is...did Mario Lemieux wear a white Starter mesh jersey for his final game of his first retirement in 1997? Here is a photo of the jersey for sale. Here's his final game photos... As you can see, the jersey is quite see through. To add to the confusion, Game Worn Auctions calls it an Air-Knit??? I know this example isn't the Lemieux but it's from the same vintage. http://www.gamewornauctions.net/products/1996_97_Robert_Lang_Pittsburgh_Penguins_Game_Worn_Jersey_Photo_Match-5864-154.html I didn't even know Starter made Air Knit!?!? Lol. Help me clear this up fellas! I know someone knows the truth to this mystery. Edited November 14, 2015 by The_Dude_Abides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
