Waleslax Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Fake Winter Classic merchandise seized in Pittsburg. My favorite quote from the article reads: "the main dangers are that the jerseys would fall apart and that people thinking they spent money to support the Penguins and Steelers are "actually supporting the counterfeiters." I am interested to see if they go after the people who were going to sell this merchandise in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I love this. I teach in Pittsburgh and people were making fun of me for buying jerseys off NHL.com. I see kids in school with the fake powder blue. I told a co-worker don't buy one, wonder if his got seized? There's a small store that had only fakes. I was asking and he was telling me they're authentic, he gets them directly that's why the low price, etc. He got busted and they took all jerseys. Love it! I don't support RBK selling at a high cost(even though I buy), I support protecting their copyrights and people who sell to unsuspecting people who don't know better.

nash61 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 A bunch of guys from an online store set up a table at my college and were selling knockoffs. The shoulder patches on their Leafs jerseys were the 90's leaf instead of the new one.
