This one is/was difficult. I dont think Ive ever seen a fake jersey with chain stitching. Might be something to keep an eye out for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201812013608 I can't tell on my phone how real the stitching looks but the lack of info plus the smallish looking "A" would be red flags to me. Not to mention it would be a deal at twice the price even for a player no longer on the team. Does the neck "V" look slightly off too..?

furiousd Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 The first clue to me was that is just looks misshapen, sleeves especially. Better than some fakes, but still off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catofadiferntskn Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Oh I agree its not real, but the shoulder patches are definitely chain stitched and look pretty good, probably better than most Indo edges you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rhea Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 The NHL shield/patch/badge looks like I have made it and sewed it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kincaid521 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 How's this one? Also, does the customization look off on the 3 to anyone else? http://www.ebay.com/itm/222401463070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a "replica", it's a "reproduction". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, given that the actual replicas are so expensive and so hard to find, this one at least looks the part, or am I being way too impulsive? This is why people aren't supposed to stay in on Friday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I wouldn't do it. Save up if needed, reach out to other collectors, get on the hunt. You'll be happier in the long run if you get a legit jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude_Abides Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 You see them pop up on ebay all the time. They could be fakes as well but I thought those weren't super rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudrock512 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just be patient and keep an eye out there. I just got one for $75 (with a pair of matching hockey socks too) this week, and last week I saw a Burger King jersey with a buy it now for $50, although I was too late on that one. Don't buy one of these fake jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyhighguys94 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) What about these? Are they new to the vintage line? Not familiar with that line of jerseys at all. https://www.ebay.com/itm/112300737286 Edited February 12, 2017 by flyhighguys94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always got a never ending supply of Team Canada replicas that simply aren't available anywhere else. Makes me wonder how that is the case. Not sure about the BK jersey you linked, but same logic would apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 So far I have only seen blanks at Staples Center, but yes, they are part of the Vintage Hockey replica line. I had assumed that Staples special ordered them, and that they might be available there exclusively, but I'll change my opinion if I start seeing them everywhere! I also added some comments about this listing in the thread about the seller in the General Hockey Discussion forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyhighguys94 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Ya trying to navigate this all on my phone between the eBay app and here thru google is a mess haha. Do you have a link to your posts about that seller? I'd like to check them out because for the price they look pretty decent. I have been considering one.
