PensFan77 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 How would you identify a fake sochi olympic jersey? I'm assuming you mean USA jerseys, in that case: bad customization, oversized striping (particularly white jersey), too large of a crest, fight strap, wrong colors, etc...

PensFan77 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Your takes guys? Looks pretty nice but then again - it doesn't hurt to ask. This forum is very nice btw keep at it!Fake. Retail authentics were never made, and the lettering in the name looks wrong. Pretty sure the '8's are wrong too ETA: Retail authentics were made, for Team Canada. But no other country, as far as I'm aware Edited December 31, 2014 by slimcutta No need to quote pics...

Mactruck27 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Long time lurker and a huge fan of everyone that's on this board. Lots of great info! Wondering what your thoughts are on this ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-NHL-New-York-Rangers-CALLAHAN-REEBOK-EDGE-Jersey-Size-52-w-FIGHT-STRAP-/181630514368?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item2a4a05b4c0 I've been waffling back and forth as the Rangers WC jerseys were 7287, had felt letter and #'s. This jersey seems legit but maybe had bad customization as its 7187 and the letters and #'s look like twill/fabric. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 The jersey is actually a 7287; don't be fooled by the size tag, which says 7187 regardless of whether the jersey is a 1.0 or 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mactruck27 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks. I guess it's just poor customization material on the name and #'s. Also the stiching on the nameplate is off IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 The resolution in the photos is so poor that I couldn't be absolutely sure that the lettering was NOT felt. You could try asking the seller, if that's important to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coreymd Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi guys, New on this forum and to serious collecting, as far as researching authenticity. I've got 5 Stars authentic jerseys including the one below that I just purchased. It was sold as a new, old stock (in sealed bag with tag attached) 1993-1994 Dallas Stars authentic. It also came from eBay, so it was a gamble, but I can't complain about the quality even if it's not legit. The markings seem right and the tags look their age, but I'm hoping someone here can give me a more seasoned opinion. https://plus.google.com/photos/109690230747099760150/albums/6131754347122494705 Here are the photos from the auction. Note that there were two bagged jerseys, one opened for the auction photos, and the other for sale (the one I have now). The jersey from the auction photos lacks the shoulder patches and has a different neck tag (Maska airknit instead of CCM), so I'm guessing that one was a pre-1993 (Minnesota) version? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-CCM-NHL-DALLAS-STARS-FIRST-YEAR-93-94-Jersey-Size-48-New-w-Tags-still-in-bag-/181689850471?nma=true&si=a3FWBdyA7kfTvrSGjlAWwpXLmVA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 If you're looking for the utmost in customization accuracy, the North Stars jersey in the eBay auction should be considered strictly a 1992-93, as it's made of air-knit. The 1991-92's were made of ultrafil. (You would also need different patches for both seasons.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of customization, am I likely to find a company to do an authentic Modano customization on the 93-94 Dallas jersey? My guess is 'no'.

coreymd Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Those are two solid leads - thanks. Looked up Blake's and he's fairly close by, so hopefully he can do it and I won't even have to ship the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude_Abides Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Some of you probably saw this already...the fight strap stitching, and all the other stitching for that matter, are a dead give. Unless I've completely lost it, looks fake as hell! http://www.ebay.com/itm/151644174765?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolmari Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) And then the fact it's supposed to be a game worn Winter Classic Lemieux... Edit: omg someone has actually bid on it Edited April 9, 2015 by jolmari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude_Abides Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I bid on it...lol. Just kidding. I'm going to have to watch this one...cant wait to see how much it actually sells for. My guess is 600ish... There was another dude this morning selling a game worn Crosby winter classic jersey with the fake "MeiGrayGroop" tag in it...I had to call him on it.

LessThanZero Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah, I know I'm new here but I need some help. I'm looking for a early 90's KOHO St. Louis Blues jersey and found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-KOHO-MADE-IN-CANADA-ST-LOUIS-BLUES-AUTHENTIC-GAME-JERSEY-IN-SIZE-56-/221744896172?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a10698ac Curious, I have a bunch of pictures of game worn KOHO's and I really don't have the best eye to determine if it's authentic/fake/replica/or whatever . Thanks.....LTZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Koho did not actually make NHL jerseys in the 1990's. The jersey in the auction is a legit authentic, made between 2000-2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
