There have been a bunch of bad Gretzky Oilers jerseys floating around lately. It's such an odd combination of making the effort to include everything that a legit jersey would have and getting the details so very wrong / omitting obvious details. The best part, as with any ridiculous fake, is that people are bidding on them.

Here are some of the "highlights":

Shoulder yoke missing the white outline, squared off at the shoulder rather than rounded:

Old CCM tag at the neck, CCM tags attached:

Wrong name font, old style NHL 'puck' logo at hem, new style CCM at neck and sleeve in wrong colours:

Strangely, this picture makes it looks like they actually copied the old nylon style numbers with the second layer being blue stitching rather than a layer of blue twill:

OK, so I see this TCU circa 2000 jersey on ebay and while I know they did have a black alternate, something just doesnt look right about it, was the shoulder and arm trim purple? If anyone knows and could tell me that would be great!

I think it is a fashion jersey. Nike has made a couple other ones.

This doesn't look bad at first, but just look at the crest, the captain C, the numbers and letters, and their placement. The logo looks like an old Starter crest with the orange puck too big and the wings too small.

Oh, and if it's brand new and still in the package, what is it doing on the floor?!

Yeah... the light blue feathers on the top of the bird' head should come down closer to the eye. And the maple leaf should be thicker.

Frickin' idiots, when will they learn?

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

You do know that's a fashion hat, right?

I have my doubts that it is -- a logo that's close to the original but still way off, and a blue that's close to the original but still way off.

Fashion hats don't tend to look like cheap forgeries.

Now I'm not saying this isn't a genuine Cooperstown product -- I'm just saying whoever did their research on this was smoking some really really good stuff.

They're grade A genuine. I saw one of these, but with the old "Cubbie Bear" on it in a Five Below once. Shame it was a size 7.

If they fixed those two things that would probably be my favourite hat.

:blink: Fitted mesh trucker caps? WTF is that about - the reason you go with mesh is to make them on the cheap. Fitted sizes defeat that purpose, Ashton Kutcher be damned.

Yeah, but those suckers BREATHE. I have a Dodgers one and a throwback Celtics one, and at times it's like I'm not wearing a hat.
