I'm an admitted hockey jersey snob and cprice has a pretty decent fake. Make no mistake, though--it is most certainly an imposter. All of the new jerseys (authentic or replica) have "EST. 1967" on the inside of the collar. The "A" is also a little off in the pic as the letter is more block style now as seen here:

The '4' also looks crooked as hell but that could just be the way it's laying. Nevertheless, you really have to be looking for those anecdotes to spot the fakes. I always just bite the bullet and pay the $$.

I bought a couple jerseys from there, the ones that came in were a Mighty Ducks jersey and a North Stars jersey each around $30 and were very authentic looking and I'm picky.
Just make sure if you buy from there, that you buy from someone with a good review number.
Yup. I've bought a Hull and Oshie from aliexpress. If you make sure the seller has a good rating and you analyze the photos of the jersey first, you should be fine.
Both look excellent.

Here is the Oshie one I got a few weeks ago:

I can't tell the difference between it and the authentics for $200. It even came with the Official licensed tags...not that that means much, but still.

For $25 and free shipping??? And delivered in 2 weeks?? Uhhh...yeah...no brainer.
Sorry bro, that looks fake. It's close, but you can tell it's not authentic. JNE even said that!

The 74 looks crooked but it could just be the way it's laid out.

Yeah, I guess when you put it side by side, a couple things are noticeable....like the positioning of the "A" (which I didn't notice until the other night)...and the blue stripe being a hair thicker.
I don't really care about the "est 1967" inside the collar, as nobody sees that.
It's damn close...might be the closest knockoff I have seen. And for $25, I'll buy a knockoff this close all day long.
Like I said before...those CCM Replica jerseys that were so popular back in the 80's & 90's weren't exact either...and I didn't really care then either.
I bought an authentic Weight jersey back in the day. Later that season, he was traded. So that was the end of spending $200 on jerseys for me. :grin:

Not crooked. It's just a wrinkle in the jersey in the photo.

It's not that bad actually. I was poking fun of JNE more than anything.
