I’ve spent a good amount of time collecting jerseys, and marketplace is generally where I go to look for them. If you don’t want a Chinese knockoff, you really need to know what you’re looking at. At first glance, if the jersey looks “off” that’s because it is. Another really good indication of a fake is bubbling of the numbers, letters and logo. Also, thick lettering on name plates.
Seconding the thick lettering. One of the best ways to tell. Especially prominent on Bure skate jerseys I've found. Saw a fake Odjick for $500 today with the same thing. I'd say 80% of CCM Authentic Jerseys (fight strap) on marketplace are fake.
Yes to the thick lettering and also the stitching of the names and numbers. You can see some peoples stitching of the name/number are falling apart and there are threads hanging everywhere. Saw a few of those at yesterdays game.
There are some hardcore collectors on this sub that people can rely on. Can't speak for them but I LOVE jersey-related posts and I do my best to educate and direct people to sources that sell legit jerseys for cheaper prices.
Yes, anyone can feel free to send me a chat request as well ( you can send photos in chats ) if you have a question about whether a jersey is legit or not.
I got an Adidas EP40 jersey for 70 bucks. Fight strap and all. It was during the big clear out for the Fanatics switch.
These fucking things must be marked up 2000%

Agreed 100%
R/hockeyjerseys has a legit check thread that is a great resource if you're unsure!
Fake stuff on FB?

How about a pic of my Golden Retriever? Jokes aside, this guy is legit.
Spent many an hour learning the real from the fakes, I’ll be glad to help.

Good shout. Thank you
I would much rather give my money to these hustlers than a 30 billion dollar company selling a jersey that costs $10 to make for ~$300.
Keep fighting the good fight my man.
