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 $$.

Sorry bro, that looks fake. It's close, but you can tell it's not authentic. JNE even said that!cprice12 wrote:Yup. I've bought a Hull and Oshie from aliexpress.

Just make sure if you buy from there, that you buy from someone with a good review number.
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.

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

Re: The official cheap, high-quality jersey thread
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.F Keenan wrote:Sorry bro, that looks fake.

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.

Not crooked. It's just a wrinkle in the jersey in the photo.glen a richter wrote:The 74 looks crooked but it could just be the way it's laid out.
