The Big Ol' Counterfeit Jersey Thread


Recommended Posts

Because people are stupid and like to drink

And because of that, they want to get one to show all their friends that they're Irish (but not) and they drink a lot

This must be strictly a US thing... I don't think I've ever seen people wearing St. Paddy's jerseys in Canada. Are there actually officially licensed versions?

yea..MLB usually makes a St. Patty's day version of the BP jerseys for all teams and Mitchell and Ness sells a 1986 mets jersey in green for the two irish players on that team: gooden and Strawberry ;)

I've seen a few counterfit St. Paddy's Blackhawks sweaters in my neck of the woods. The 'Hawks seem to be the popular choice for St. Paddy's fakes.

hawks st. patty's jerseys just look like north dakota sioux throwbacks...

the only teams that i think can pull off irish jerseys are boston, and even then it's sort of annoying.

if only someone had made a dallas stars irish pride jersey, i'd buy it and unstitch the shamrock, and look fantastic in the process.

Can anybody tell if this listing is a Counterfeit? It looks like the real deal but the thing throwing me off is that fight strap... Seems a bit too small for an authentic. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I always get ads from this place on my facebook. Upon looking, I stumbled on quite a few Laughers.

Why do so many counterfeiters sell "Saint Patrick's Day" versions of jerseys?

Is there seriously market demand for these things?!?

Apparently there is. I've seen plenty of the bootleg St. Patrick's Blackhawks jerseys over the past couple of years. This past winter I was a bit surprised to see an official St. Pat's replica jersey in the front window of the Blackhawks store on Michigan Avenue - one designed exactly like the most popular counterfeit version, no less. I asked the clerk about it, and he told me that, yes, the green jersey was a direct response to the fakes; apparently, team and/or league officials saw so many of these green knockoffs during the victory parade, they decided to make their own officially licensed version of it. (Because, hey, what's the counterfeiter going to do, sue them for IP theft?)

I'm convinced this is why the Blackhawks have decided to discontinue their fauxback thirds, as that seems to have become the most popular choice among the "$40 on eBay" crowd. Yes, a third jersey is supposed to create additional revenue, but I'm sure that trained eyes in the Blackhawks' organization couldn't help but notice the tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue in the seats at the United Center every game.

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. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I was in a store today and saw a Manchester United kit with the sponsor logo upside down. :huh: Didn't have anything to take a picture with, though.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
