NYIJM29 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Can someone post a high-res picture of what Ultrafil looks like...like good enough to see the detail of the double-knit? That'd be sweet...I'm trying to compare something to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeloS76 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Can you tell us where you got the jersey? What is the size? Can you show pictures of the M&N tags and back hem logo? It was a size 48 and I got it from eBay. Here's a shot of the hem tag. It just didn't seem right to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that doesn't look right. The M&N mark should look like this: Note the ampersand, the "ss", the flourish with the sharp point at the right. And the neck tag should look like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 You sure are! We know you VERY well. You're friends with my buddy Dan out in Arizona as well. He's always talking about you whenever he calls me about something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesNordiques Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I know this is off topic, well, just for the sport... but does anyone own a Mitchell & Ness authentic NFL jersey and can send me or post close up photos of it??? I never bought any, nor seen any before, their website shows the graphic pictures and not actual photos which I hate, and most I find on ebay etc are fakes and want to see the difference in quality from a real M&N NFL jersey... stitching, mesh material etc.... the bottom tags. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-liars Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Goon, I was looking over your blog and I wanted to point out that just because a jersey is poorly customized doesn't necessarily mean it's a fake jersey, like that Probert Red Wings. It's a real jersey that's just poorly customized. And that '98 Canucks jersey is real, just inappropriately customized with Jovanovski. LesNordiques, Have you looked at the Jersey Central Throwbacks forum? It's mixed sports, but there should be plenty of M&N NFL pictures if you poke around including a durene thread for the older styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucksNPucks Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 F-Liars, I couldn't agree with you more about the jerseys on ebay. I just bought one, Anaheim Ducks Selanne customized. The jersey was legit and I compared to some of the other Ducks ones I have. The problem was the letters and numbers were POOR quality. It looked like someone ironed on the numbers/letters. Here is the ebay item. Selanne Ebay Jersey 2xl Problem is the photo is at a distance, but I should have investigated more. I returned it and got my money back. The seller was surprised though when I did and said it was a legit jersey. I told him the jersey was good, but the letters were not authentic. This was the first time I didn't have the Duck store at the Arena customize a jersey and this is my last time. I only trust the team store for authentic customization.

Thelonious Sphere Monk Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 What took you so long. You are kinda famous around here. You can say that again! Goon, I was looking over your blog and I wanted to point out that just because a jersey is poorly customized doesn't necessarily mean it's a fake jersey, like that Probert Red Wings. It's a real jersey that's just poorly customized. And that '98 Canucks jersey is real, just inappropriately customized with Jovanovski. I would have to see the hem on the Probert or under it to make that call but the neck tags are correct and in the right spots BUT that doesn't mean its legit. The fight strap looks good too. The Jovi looks real too me also but again I need to see the hem or underside to know for sure. Just a good rule of thumb for the jersey shoppers out there.

Shenanigans Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Another thing I've noticed, is that if it's not an EDGE 1.0 or 2.0 and the size tag says 7187A it's definitely a fake. Just another small thing to look out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one had the hologram though, so I don't know they're managing to fake those. I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but it was there.

xcdude Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hello all my name is Aaron and I am an avid hockey fan who is also avid hockey jersey collector. I am appalled by the comments of posters saying it is alright to rock a fake jersey at hockey games, and sadly cannot understand some of the sentiments taken by fans in this forum. I am not a member of this forum because I did not know of its existence, but I know the member posting this for me through a hockey jersey forum. I would like to start off saying owning a Hockey Jersey is not a right it is a privilege and owning a jersey does not make you a better fan than someone else. I choose to spend money on expensive game worn hockey jerseys because it is a hobby and passion of mine. I am not here to judge anybody else's wallet because I am a humble college student and work for every penny that I spend, so I know how some people do not have the budget for a replica or retail authentic jersey. That being said if you choose to partake in the privilege to rock your team's colors, it is absolutely wrong to do so in an illegal and unethical way. It is 100% and absolutely illegal to buy a fake jersey. There are technically "unlicensed" products, but that does not make them right. The NHL owns the copyrights for the manufacturing of jerseys, so using the word "unlicensed" to justify these jersey's existence is cowardly. These are not "fan" jerseys either. Some teams in Europe I know create "fan" jerseys through the team that are a little different than what the actual players wear. These jerseys are 100% legal and usually sold through the team stores. What these knockoff jerseys are, are illegal reproductions of NHL product of inferior quality. They usually are imported from other countries and are made in sweatshops. They have been linked to cancer causing materials and funding illegal organizations (I do not have the link regarding this, and I am not trying to use that excuse to create hyperbole). While buying a fake jersey doesn't make you a lesser fan, it makes you a criminal. You are supporting illegal counterfitting organizations and look like an idiot by doing so. The better alternative would be to either save up money to buy real licensed product, or buy a cheaper alternative provided by the NHL. I understand the monetary argument, but hiding behind it in justification of this illegality makes you a coward and a fool in my humble opinion. Support your team the legal way, you'll be surprised how well the NHL jerseys hold up despite their high costs. Or sign up for a jersey forum such as http://forums.icejerseys.com or www.jerseycentral.org and look for collectors selling their jerseys at cheaper price. It is annoying to see so many collectors plead ignorance, when affordable hockey jerseys are out there, it just takes effort. Thank you for hearing me out, and happy collecting." That's what I said. I can't wait for their responses. God the Mets game needs to really F(&^*** start already I have too much free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formyhunny Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Here's some responses. And I be that your "friend" has never downloaded music before you in his life right? Do you know why most people download music? because the argument that it's killing the musicians is ridiculous. Most of proceeds from buying CDs goes to the record companies, retailers. It's killing the record companies, the big millionaires. Wasn't there a thread about the record company suing for trillions of dollars or something ridiculous like that here?? Very small amount actually goes to the artist. Where do you think that most of the real jersey proceeds go to? To the millionaire hockey players and their owners? come on man, it's going straight to Reebok, Nike who pay miniscule amount of money to the chinese sweatshops. The actual amount of proceeds that goes to hockey organizaion is so small, I hardly think MG loses sleep over it. This one is from my own post. Sure, just like I have a self given right to walk on this earth and buy any jersey I feel like. Oh wait some dude that has an interest somewhere along the line told me I can't.Because big business never anything illegal right! I say we just start shooting people in the street and in the stands that are wearing fakes. That work for ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
