How to spot a fake jersey!


Recommended Posts

Do you or anyone here know someone who has bought from that online shop? An EDGE jersey I saw there is somewhat on the cheaper side.

Look up. LAK said he made 3 purchases from them. Why are you questioning everyone when they tell you something is legit? You did the same thing with your Canucks jersey because you "don't like the spacing". The place is legit, you don't have to worry about buying something from them.

It wouldn't hurt to be completely sure, would it? And sorry, I missed reading that. Thanks for the help.

It never hurts to be completely sure, but Brilliant! told you they're good. If Mike says a place is legit, I trust him (as I'm sure everyone else here does)

It's all good. None of the regular members are going to tell you a jersey or a website is good if it's not. (Unless you're a Penguins fan :P)

Gents,

thanks for all of your help. I know a heck of a lot more now and have been passing the information on to friends of mine as well to make sure that they are making informed decisions on their purchases.

Seems that there is extremely little difference on an game issue vs a authentic retail Edge 1.0 then.

Thanks gents and looks like I am breaking out the credit card in a few minutes :)

I had asked my mom for a Patrick Kane alternate hawks jersey for Christmas. She decided to order it from a friend of hers who claimed that he could get authentic jerseys for a discounted price. When i recieved it the other day I didn't think it was fake, now I'm becoming more skeptical. The Logo on the chest and the "K" in Kane on the back are the big alerts for me that tell me something isn't right. Can someone help me out?

Hey all,

Just over a month ago I was discussing a Reebok Premier Replica I purchased with a friend/co-worker. At this point he told me he had a guy who could get Authentic On Ice "Real Deal" Jerseys for incredibly cheap $60.00usc. So of course I bit..... but I knew deep down I would most likely be getting a fake. I had spoken to several other co-workers who bought jerseys through him and they all believed what they received to be the "Real Deal". Well it finally came in and my gut instinct was right..... so here are some pics of what I got....... I'm posting these for reference purposes for anyone who wants a little more knowledge of what to look for in a fake:

I tried to pour through this thread to see if anyone answered you on this jersey.

Fake. The "C" with the tomahawks is too thin for one. The indian head is not the right color, and the number font is off.

If any of you have questions pertaining to Blackhawks jerseys hit me up.

I have CCM 550 series, Starter, Premiere, Koho, etc. Blackhawks jerseys. I'm a huge fan of collecting jerseys, and have over 50.

I'll be happy to discuss what's real and what isn't.

Cheers.

What do you think, it looks legit to me (Minus the "Nighty Ducks of Anaheim on the chest) Is that just a misprint or a dead giveaway?

Why is the "Made in Canada" tag sew to the jersey itself and not to the branding tag? Would they do that? and the chest logo looks small, but it does have a two piece yoke. I added a sportsK link for reference (p.s. I would not buy the one on ebay, it's more expensive than sportsK, I'm simply asking for fun.)

Maybe not real

For sure real

Both of the jerseys are legit. As well, the logos are the same on both jerseys as the two jerseys are the same, the pictures might just be a bit deceiving.

I cant speak for all jerseys, but at least with the CCM/Koho/Reebok 6100/550 series and the Edge jerseys, the made in Canada tag is sewn to the jersey. This tag also contains the size of the jersey

Ok, because the sportsK picture really looks like the canada tag is sewn to the brand tag. Just a curiosity thing, I guess I'll have to go back and look at my old Mighty Ducks jerseys.

This is one of the better fakes I've seen out there, they are getting better at the fight strap attachement :(

The four looks uncentered, the chest logo looks pretty bad. But yea, that fight strap does look better than a lot I've seen.

I've got a question. I have a replica ducks third jersey that was bought for a me as a gift, where the reebok logos usually are, instead of the symbol, it is a patch that spells out reebok. Is that normal? What's the deal with that?

The league switched to workmark this year, as long as there is no fight strap then it should be a legit replica, only real old rare stuff sometimes gets faked but 99% of the times it's "authentics"

Oh very cool to know, thank you. Yea the fight strap would be a dead giveaway. Yea there are some pretty bad attempts at fake authentics right now haha. Thanks again, thats a cool bit of knowledge.

the strap is still way off IMO and the NHL shield look like the guy stitched right down the middle :)

Still obvious yes, but compared to the hack jobs that they usually are this is clean
