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...
Sodboy13 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 They nailed a guy here in Chicago with $650K of counterfeit junk last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Good. Hopefully they can shut down all of the counterfeit jersey websites that are online, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It's funny when they mess up like this: http://hockeyjerseyconcepts.blogspot.com/2010/10/chinese-knock-offs-of-my-concept.htmlSome Chinese retailer was selling this as an authentic Winter Classic sweater.

Sodboy13 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 In fairness to the counterfeiters, that looks better than the Penguins' actual Winter Classic jersey. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same thing.The people who created the logos and designs have already made their money. Knock-off jerseys are only around because "Authentic" jerseys are exorbitantly overpriced and in a lot of cases (like with the "Authentic" Reebok EDGE jerseys) more poorly made than the knock-offs...

But isn't you logic basically saying its ok to steal from wealthy people/companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
