ksupilot Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Question for the group....Which aspect is it that most of you frown upon when it comes to counterfeits? Is it the intent to make a dollar off of them? Or just the act of creating something using someone else's work?I ask because I'm just curious to see where the DIY'ers rank in your minds. And I mean the DIY'ers who create their stuff for their own use....Not to sell.Here is a question I have...there's a company called Dorholt Custom sports that was making Devils xmas tree jerseys (before the throwbacks from CCM were available), Cleveland Barons jerseys, Fighting Saints, a few others...all jerseys that at the time were no longer produced. Technically they fell into the fake category as they were not officially licensed by the NHL, but being the only way to get your hands on them would be an old used version from Ebay...I feel it wasn't as bad as Chinese fakes of existing jerseys. I think they still do the red xmas tree jerseys, which is bad since you can now get them from the NHL Shop, but they remain the only place to get a new white version of the xmas jersey.

Therefore I see where you are coming from if you really love a jersey and that's the only way it's available then to me that's the only exception when buying knock-offs.

Bought Atlanta Flames and Capitals jerseys for friends from them. The jerseys were a heavy mesh, but the Caps one had all the letters sewn on individually. 1 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

I bought a Nordiques "Thibault 41" jersey from them about 14 years ago. I remember the guy on the phone being really nice, and he called to follow up with me after I received the jersey to make sure I liked it.

ElwoodCuse Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Darren Rovell is going to have a bit about fake jerseys on Outside The Lines sunday morningI disagree with his assertion that fake jerseys have gotten really close to the real thing. Close enough that people don't care because they are $200 cheaper yes; however they are still instantly distinguishable as fake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's funny, I was having a hockey talk with one of my wife's friends (who has Hawks season tickets) tonight, and she brought up the bootleg jersey issue. Apparently, one of her co-workers got into the racket on eBay, and received some sort of cease-and-desist letter. As for my wife's friend, she said "Why would you want one of those anyway? They're cheap, but the quality is crap, the colors are all wrong, nothing looks right, the Indian Head is bright yellow sometimes..."So it's not just us obsessives who notice.I've always thought if I could find a good Cleveland Barons fake I'd purchase it. Therefore I see where you are coming from if you really love a jersey and that's the only way it's available then to me that's the only exception when buying knock-offs.I own an Oakland Seals fake, because the NHL refuses to produce green-and-blue era Seals jerseys for whatever reason. The numbers were so poor though, I stripped them off and had EPS replace them with something far more authentic. Still scared to wash the thing, though.

Funky Bunky Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I think it would be cool if the Sharks did some sort of throwback to the Golden Seals someday, kinda like what the Canucks just did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fonts are never even close, and the logo never looks right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scared to wash the thing, though.Two of the more popular fakes I see at Penguins games are 91-92 Stanley Cup jerseys with the SC, Badger Bob, and anniversary patches, and Sidney Crosby Rimouski jerseys with the Memorial Cup patches. You can't buy the 91-92 jerseys with the patches and you can't buy the Rimouski jeresys at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 The Penguins jersey and the patches can be bought individually. That is how I got mine. Quote PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Patches are a bit of a nebulous area as far as fakery goes, right? Because it's pretty obvious that these patches for uniforms worn 10 or 20 years ago are "unlicensed reproductions", but at the same time, it's not like the NHL or any other league is in the standalone retro patch business.

imawalkingcorpse Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I will also add I have never bought a bootleg of anything, and I never will.
