Also, In Re Tkachuk Jersey...

The sleeve has the "Goals for Kids" logo, circa 1995, before the move. But, the NHL didn't use the "puck" logo on the tail until about 2000-2001 on the replicas. At that time, there would have been an "Eastern Conference" logo on the replicas. Even the vintage Jets jerseys released by CCM a few years ago didn't have the puck (or the GFK patch.)

Looks like EVERYTHING was added secondhand there!

"Tkachuk" is spelled incorrectly.

This is more or less a case of buyer beware. They're not promoting it as one of Keith Tkachuk's own jerseys, they're not even promoting it as "authentic."

It's exactly what they say it is. A Keith Tkachuk-signed Winnipeg Jets jersey.

this is true, he doesn't claim it to be anything more than it is; but it's just so wrong in so many ways that i couldn't resist posting it.

Actually, the WPG replicas only would have had the "Western Conf" logo on them hem if it were a Starter jersey. The CCM semi-pro's at the time had mini team crest logos at the hem.

This is the only image he has. No back side, no fight strap, but the description says it has the fight strap and the CCM logo so what do you guys think?

I'd e-mail him and see if he can provide more pictures, but that does look like a "Center Ice Authentic Collection" tag on the neck.

Except the numbers are faced the right direction. I don't understand how anyone could even think about buying that! Polamalu's name isn't even on it. It's someone else's blacked out.

they ALMOST got this right, but of all things to screw up:http://cgi.ebay.com/Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Ho...1QQcmdZViewItem

Nice one. Here's a quote from the description;

"Made by Starter, who makes licensed NHL products, you can count on quality and pride of manufacture."

Quality and Pride of manufacture, except for the part where they didn't care about what they were doing! :mad:

Also, CAN YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE BID $25 ON THE ""Special Edition Polamalu Jersey"???!!! :shocked:

I'm now convinced the time on Earth for the human race is limited. :blink:

Actually, if you look closely, you can actually make out the letters POLAMALU on the back of it.

But black on black is still pointless.

What's wrong with this picture?

Try the word "MILWAUKEE" on the road jersey for that vintage.

for starters, it's pretty obvious that was at one point a blank Yankees road, so this is way off no matter how you slice it. adding to that, as you mentioned MILWAUKEE should be on there to be believable, and at that the outline should be gold and green, not white.

It's been a while, but here's the newest examples of not doing your homework and screwing up a perfectly good jersey.

This is a 1984 or 1986 NHL All-Star jersey. Problem is...Ray Bourque was still wearing #7 until Dec. 1987. It's possible that he had to change numbers for the All-Star game, like Joe Sakic usually does these days, but I have my doubts. NHLuniforms.com shows him as #7 in 1984 so I would assume he was high enough on the senority list by then to keep his #7.

"On December 4, 1987, the Boston Bruins were facing the New York Rangers, with former star Phil Esposito now an executive with the Rangers. In a pre-game ceremony, the Bruins were retiring Esposito's number 7. But Ray Bourque was wearing that number at the time. In a selfless act that illustrated Bourque's character, during the ceremony, Bourque ripped off his jersey to reveal his new number ? 77. It took a moment for the action to sink in with all those in attendance, including Phil Esposito."

Wrong font. For $139? No way. Thanks for playing. Try again.

Here's the correct font below.
