charger77 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Recently I purchased a home RBK Gameware Minnesota Wild home jersey. I also purchased a home Wild patch and the NHL shield patch. Thanks to some great ebay deals I paid lest than $20 for the materials. I had the patches sewn on and now have a home Wild jersey for less than $20. Also, I used a thread ripper to unstitch the reebok word mark on the front of the jersey.This jersey is just for me. I am not going to sell it. Just wanted to see if I could make one on the cheap and if it was worth while.Would this be considered a counterfit jersey?Thanks,-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian E Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 it's a DIY (do it yourself) in my opinion, and there's no harm in that. as long as you're not selling it and trying to pass it off as an authentic to another buyer, then what's the harm? i consider counterfeits to be a misrepresentation of a jersey sold for a profit. if you want to put the work into putting together your own sweater, i say by all means go for it!

BallWonk Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Counterfeit? No.But if you ever sell it, then most likely, yes, you'll be violating all kinds of intellectual property laws. Which is to say, counterfeiting. So hang on to that thing, and if you ever need to part with it, give it away or barter for it with someone you know who knows it's DIY. Even selling it on ebay labelled as a homemade jersey could get you in trouble, even if only to the extent of having ebay cancel your account. Been known to happen. And post some pictures so we can see your good work! (I've been thinking about doing the same thing, since the defunct Wild and Caps jerseys I like best are no longer available new.)

BBTV Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Definition of conterfeit:1 : made in imitation of something else with intent to deceive : forged 2 : insincere, feigned As long as you never try to pass it off as a real licensed product, you're good.

Sodboy13 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I unstitched the Reebok wordmark with a thread-ripper. It looks good, no snags or pulls. I'll get the final product posted as soon as I can.-DanGood to know that the Reebok wordmark is stitched under the collar, and can be removed. I was worried it would be sublimated into the fabric or something. Time to get cracking on a revamped Coyotes alt, I think.

twi Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The materials are not the exact same on the blank gamewear intended jerseys as the replicas and authentics though. Visually there's no difference but I've got both hanging in my shop and the ones intended for game use are definitely heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
