Is that legit? Cause I want to get it but based on the strap and the fact that I heard gretzkys in that style were faked im not sure.

I wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't legit. :thumbsup:

Those Gretzky fakes all are double Starter tagged on the hem, don't have the correct size tag (48-R, 52-R etc.) and actually are a different shade of blue (more cyan than royal). They also are more shiny than the real Starter mesh jerseys, but often that's hard to spot in a photo.

Ahhhh. See, last time I asked about one of those Gretzky's all I was told was that it was fake, but nobody ever explained why, and at the time I couldn't figure it out for myself. Now that I know it will make things a little easier. I picked it up anyway. I couldn't see anything on the two pictures of the stains, so I figure it can't be that bad.

Yeh that Gretzky style was one of the more prominent fakes prior to the Edge fake explosion, so most people here don't re-hash all the details when one gets posted for a legit check.

Here's a post I made a year ago of the details to look for. About 5 posts above the one I linked also has some pictures of the Gretzky in question.

Ya....I'm pissed. I just offered $80 so that is why the seller didn't respond to mine and accepted your offer. $100 is still a good deal :thumbsup:

$299, and the only difference is the size, and a little cardboard tag that's still attached -

Mitchell & Ness has a 40% off all NHL & NBA jerseys from now til end of playoffs....

http://www.mitchellandness.com/

Since I'm in a ranting mood; I haaaaaate Mitchell and Ness jerseys!!!

Why are the arm numbers and stripes so low, and the rear numbers are so high on this Gilmour? The logo is off as well -

http://www.mitchella...22-92DGILM.aspx

This Neely's arm stripes should all be the same width, but for whatever reason, the center stripe is much thinner, and the strips at the hem are too thick as well -

http://www.mitchella...00-88CNEEL.aspx

and look at the numbers on this Fuhr, it might as well be any other sweatshop fake out there -

http://www.mitchella...04-86GFUHR.aspx

They always place the logos waaaay too high (if ever you've seen a Caps M&N, you know what I mean), they're always waaay too long (I suspect this is to appeal to the 'gangsta' community that seems to appreciate oversized clothing), and I have no idea what they modeled when they started replicating them, but they sure as hell don't ever follow NHL game jerseys to any accuracy (dimensions, customization, details, etc).

Booooo M&N!!!! :noway:

I don't really have anything against the old M&N NHL jerseys. They are pretty nice quality wise. And I believe M&N does a nice job reproducing the jersey styles of different eras. Aside from that, they're not the greatest, so I agree with you.

I actually don't own one of the newer style NHL M&N jerseys. The customization in the pictures on their site looks HUGE compared to what it should be like. I don't know if that's a misrepresentation on their site, or if that's actually the case. Also, I think it's pretty ugly there is a "Mitchell and Ness" jock tag on the bottom of the back hem. UGLY! And the selection of the players and jerseys of the newer style stink IMO. M&N makes like 3 new styles every 3 and I don't have a reason to buy ANY. :noway: This is one reason I sold most of my M&N NHL jerseys.

The earlier M&N Oilers Fuhr had more accurate numbers. It was made in Korea with the embroidered script logo on the hem. It's still M&N, so they had to screw up something like the "R" in the name. I think most of these newer ones with the hem jocktag are made in China, so those might as well have been made in a sweatshop.

Wha? Every self-respecting Black Hawk fan needs an Amonte jersey (or two or three).

ha, came here just to post that one. I have an Amonte and that one isn't my size, but someone needs to scoop it up for that price.
