Its 91 Tavares so its goes back a little. Its a nice heavy sweater. Nothing cheap about it. Its a retail authentic not player authentic. Even cheap Arse knockoffs dont come this big. Even xxxl doesnt have sleaves this long. Im going to hem them up and wear it with a hoodie but if you can tell by the tag let me know. Could it be a goalie cut???. Even though Tavares isnt a goalie...lol...Thanks Post pictures of the whole thing and we’ll point out why it’s fake, other than the fact that a size 48 Edge jersey doesn’t exist.

LAK74 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Both brand and size tags are fake. The material in the neck has the wrong texture. Sorry, but the jersey is fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van67 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 That pic is all I need to see that jersey is as fake as a $3 bill. That NHL logo isn't even remotely close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT09 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hi, looking to purchase my first jersey. I am 5 foot 9 and 145lbs and am not sure if should go 46 or 50 on authentic adidas sizing. I would like to be able to wear this over a normal shirt as I live in south Texas, but also have a little room to wear over a hoodie. Thanks.

jsh139 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I would go 50. I’m 5’9” 160 and I wear a 52. But I like my jerseys baggy. A 46 will fit but may be a little tight with a hoodie underneath. When in doubt, always go a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Bob Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 ALWAYS go bigger, As you age (and drink beer) jerseys shrink 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmw Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) i've been looking for an (affordable) authentic 2010 boston bruins winter classic jersey for years and have finally decided to consider replicas. i found this CCM/Reebok version, but am not certain it is what it says it is. can anyone help? also, it seems much larger than an edge 2.0 from the same time period. am i imagining this?

LAK74 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I don’t recall any authentics ever being originally sold at retail. Jersey Baron did sell some retail 2.0’s of that model, but they were not made until years after the original game was played. Those are extremely hard to find, as I think he was the only source of them. If you want a replica, those were not made in the regular Premier cut, but rather the more boxy 550 cut, and they look like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154724081220?hash=item2406461e44:g:7qMAAOSwTP5ho~XA These appear on eBay quite frequently.

NO Numeric sizing is the on ice version The one you are inquiring about is a fake The quickest way to spot a fake is looking at the fight strap and the way it is attached. Look at the one you are asking about, the twill patch that is sewn over the fight strap looks terrible Here's an example of a good fight strap https://www.ebay.com/itm/165228989796?hash=item26786a4d64:g:dqYAAOSw8HBhgqM~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
