Shamelessly stealing the idea from the Flyers thread.

These three seem to have the best reputation. I bought two from borntrade a month or so ago and they look great, friends haven't been able to tell the difference.
Wound up costing me just under $100 with shipping from China for $25 [for both]

One minor odd thing I noticed was that the lettering on the heritage jersey for the #19 on Spezza was in red when I believe it is supposed to be black.
Also, has anyone had any luck finding an Erik Karlsson #65 jersey on any other [somewhat] reputable Chinese sites? All the usual suspects including the ones I posted have Spezza, Alfie and even Kovalev and Fisher but none with EK.
seems pretty obvious to me especially the numbering/lettering
It definitely wasn't perfect, and as you can see in the album [http://imgur.com/a/HPI3A] there was a small smudge on the O in heritage jersey but I managed to clean it out and it looks as good as new

It is a black layer, then a red layer. Also the O is supposed to go slightly into the black
That heritage is obviously a fake because of the straight white numbers and letters (they're also undersized). The O on the front is also really undersized.
Can't really tell from the red Alfie jersey based on the photos, but I'm going to go ahead and assume:
- The jersey material around the NHL shield is the same as the rest of the jersey
- The font used for letters and numbers is too skinny and or not aligned properly
- The main crest and numbers are bubbly

Also: If anyone has a Large, black alternate Hossa jersey that they are planning on selling (or trading), I am willing to trade an XL version for your L.
Same goes for our old white jerseys. I have a blank XL and am willing to deal for a large. PM any offers.

Your friends are stupid. No offence though, I have some stupid friends too, an it makes for a GREAT night out.
The heritage jersey:
-missing black twill COMPLETELY in the numbers.
-the "O" is too small.
-The assistant's "A" on the front is the wrong font.
-The "Spezza" name is in the wrong font.
-sleeve numbers are too skinny
-numbers on back are WAY too small.
-the white on the name and number isn't even close to the right shade.
The Home jersey:
-the red is the wrong shade of red.
-the numbers on the back don't have the rounded outline
-the captain's "C" is the wrong font.
-the font on Alfie's name isn't right (it's close, but it's still off)
Also, and I'm just guessing here, but I'm willing to bet that if I took a look at the jerseys in my hands, I'd see:
-garbage quality fight strap, stitched incorrectly, with no reinforced layer.
-the jersey size itself is smaller than what is stated on the neck tags (comparing to legit Reebok products)
-shoulder patches of an embarrassing quality. On the heritage jersey in particular, I haven't seen a fake yet that has gotten the shoulder patches right: they're always too skinny, and the design is off.
So... yeah. If you want to own a knockoff jersey, that's one thing. To say people won't/ don't notice is another thing entirely.

OH RIGHT, I forgot that one. Those bubbly numbers and letters are also made with such a GARBAGE quality material, that they'll show every single crease you ever put in them. Don't ever fold your jersey, or sit in it weirdly, or you'll have a permanent, ugly wrinkle/crease in the numbers forever.
See it ALL the time at the arena: jersey with so many wrinkles in the numbers, the jersey looks like it's been sitting in a crumpled ball for 20 years.
Great websites if you decide you want to buy a REAL frigging jersey, and not buy a $50 piece of garbage:
- Jersey Express - BEST prices for authentic pro jerseys.
- River City Sports - has some great sales that are really great for real, actual jersey collectors.
- Exclusive Pro - does some really cool PROFESSIONAL QUALITY custom stuff, and occasionally has sales on cresting (adding name/ number to jerseys) that you just can't find anywhere else.
I'm sure I'm missing some other great jersey sites, I'll post more as I remember them.
Jesus. I shouldn't have even bothered posting them, I was just showing what it was. I clearly am not the jersey experts you guys are but feel free to contribute sites that have legitimate looking ones.
Ive never seen a good fake sens jersey, they have lots of trouble getting the right shade of Gold too.
Thanks for not posting four times in a row with an onslaught.
The Heritage jersey does look quite off after looking at pictures of the actual jersey but I've got a legitimate home and legitimate away jerseys along with one of the god awful SNES ones. None of them are personalized so I can't compare the numbering or lettering but the patch on the front of the Alfie home one is virtually identical to the fake one posted. The sizing is exactly the same too, my legitimate size 50 fits the same as that one in that it's way too big for me.
I haven't had any creasing problems at all.
Are you in the business of selling jerseys, sensjersey11? Your name and your absolutely ridicuous intensity about something as small as a hockey jersey would indicate it, but who knows.

I didn't mean to come across as attacking, just pointing out that there are ways to spot the difference. Personally, I purchase retail jerseys because I think they look nicer, but I understand the appeal of saving some money with the Chinese knock-offs.
And yes, sensjersey has experience with the manufacturing/distribution of jerseys.

Oh dude it's not you, you didn't post four times in a row with an absolute slaughter attack like I had stabbed your child sixteen times.
No surprise at the last part though, about as transparent as can be.
Rename the thread whatever the hell you want, I intended for it to be a knockoff jersey thread anyway. In no other message board [even the Penguins] does posting pictures of a fake and [i]asking[/b] for feedback on them get you a response like that.
Thanks for not posting four times in a row with an onslaught.
Yeah.
The poster "trentmccleary" is to statistical analysis as I am to jerseys. I'm self-admittedly maybe the most jersey obsessed person here, but it's a badge I wear with pride, more than anything. There are a lot of people out there where jersey collecting is a legit hobby. Although, not a ton on the Sens boards, admittedly...
What can I say? I'm passionate about jerseys. There are WAY more of us than you'd think...

I used to be in the business, but not for at least a couple of years. I worked at/ managed a pro shop, and have dealt with Reebok/ jersey industry people extensively. I was into jerseys WAY before that job though. The job just seemed a natural fit for obvious reasons.
I just don't like fake jerseys in any capacity, and I have absolutely zero reservations about calling them out for what they are. I think people who have been around here for a while can vouch for that.
*edit*
A tip 'o the cap to ya, CH, for remembering that. Good memory.
The quality isn't great but if it's something you don't mind wearing for cheap, why not. Personally I wouldn't wear it. The quality doesn't seem much less than what you can buy on NHL.com for 180 bucks (feel like I got ski masked). The numbers, name and shoulder patches aren't even stitched. Can you believe that? Jersey City offers a better quality (actually stitched) but the two times I've ordered from them it hasn't been great. First one I got the wrong jersey ( heatley read rather thsn black) second time it took 7 weeks. There excuse inventory...

Next up, river city sports.
That's why I tried elsewhere. I've got an NHL.com jersey, one I bought from a local shop where the owner is a giant dick, and one from Jersey City. The NHL.com one that I paid around $200 for wasn't even that fantastic. The JC one is probably the best of the three and the local sports shop guy probably just bought his from NHL.com and sold for profit.
Living in BC gives you god awful options for Sens jerseys in person.
Funny part we seeing some REALLY bad fake heritage jerseys at a game.
I couldn't help but think, "You paid $50 for that plus shipping. You are at a game where you paid $50+ for a ticket. You could have bought a real heritage jersey from one of the Sens store for $150 an gotten 2 free tickets."
And as far as your "god aweful SENS jersey" comment, I happen to like mine a lot. I wear my SENS Phillips jersey with pride. I am not alone. Last game I went to (Caps) I counted 16 SENS jerseys, 6 Heritage, 3 Red home, 2 Red "Swoosh",1 White road, 1 black and gold and 1 original white home in the section around me. That is 16 SENS vs 14 Others. ps, I was wearing my Alfy Heritage and let my dad wear my Phillips SENS. Both purchased at SBP.

You can ad me to the list. 19 Sens jerseys and counting. Im in Nanaimo B.C. right now and I'm closing in on a Greening Clippers jersey and a Turris Burnaby Express. An obscure piece of my collection is a Dave McLlwain Kolner Haie (Cologne Sharks) from Germany ....oh and none of my jerseys are fakes!
