The Jets jersey with US numbers on the back is comical. Someone clearly failed Geography 101.
I think a series of you busting these fake jersey sites would be amazing.
No it actually isn't. Sites like this prey on people who believe what the site tells them. This industry is horrible. The Russian sites have been linked to organized crime in the past. Yeah, supporting the NHL is the better option.
Thax good looking out
It's an utter humiliation and huge embarrassment wearing a fake counterfeit jerseys in any public places and I mean blatantly embarrassing.
Your reaction to the Jets and Canucks jerseys w the US numbers... 😂 Hilarious!
Okay, as far as the Canucks go.... I work for the Canucks, and we could never crest up a Bure or Mogilny or a player like that, on to the current orca jersey. They never wore that jersey. And that stars and stripes thing, what the hell? When you go through the Canucks, the company I work for, we have to be authentic with our cresting. When I brought in my black skate jersey to get Bure 10 with the A stitched on to it, I had to provide proof that Pavel indeed wore the A on that black jersey, as number 10. Everybody knows he did with number 96, but I found evidence in a 1995 playoff game against St. Loius. It was literally like 1 game that he wore it. I couldn't just say I saw that footage. I had to show my manager. The only way we could put Bure on a current jersey, actually, is if it's a personalized jersey, and the person's name actually happened to be Bure, and had ID to prove it.
I am called Bure, but I lost my ID.
How does your manager.. Who works for the canucks.. Wouldn't know if he wore the A or not
Tntjoko it was literally like 1 game. No one really knows.
Exactly. Naslund wore the recent jersey (orca blue and green) for as little while but he's always associated with the black and white orca.
It just looks so weird, seeing Bure or Naslund on a blue and green jersey.
Bure? Forever the black skate.
Interesting.
I come from Norway without expert knowledge about jerseys.
I am only interested in
-proper match jerseys- the exact ones that players would use during
official NHL games. Everything stitched on the jersey should be correct
down to the last detail.
Can I ask you-
What sort of checklist would a staff member of the Canucks go through
to confirm that the jersey in hand is actually a proper Knucks match jersey?
Please do a list of the worst counterfeit sites. Thanks!

The Hockey Son DHGATE is the top one lol
I live dhgate lol jerseys look great
Literally any counterfeit site.
Jenny Loop jerseys were big for a while. DH Gate took over and send out a lot of fakes. I was gifted 1 from them and it’s actually not bad. But I know it’s a fake, so it’s regulated to “around the house duty”.
Only the real deal in public.
Addidums are like Addidas, but they are much cheaper and made in mother Russia. Plus you get one extra stripe.
I went on a fake Jersey website and it listed a Ryan Nugent Hopkins jersey as "today's featured jersey" except on the preview picture they show the jersey saying "Nuggent Hoppkins" with the jersey number being a very sloppily put on number 7 which was backwards and not even the right color three red flags in a row right there it was $10 so I ordered it for fun and the same thing on the preview was exactly what was on the jersey except the front had the Thrashers logo and not the Oilers and last I checked the sites been taken down I keep it just to warn people about buying from those counterfeit sites
Derp Man honestly I think that was worth the $10. That’s a hilarious jersey
omg i have never laughed harder at a comment
seriously like i wanna see that jersey
Derp Man Can you please post a picture of this jersey somewhere!?! We need to see this!
Anyone else notice Tony Esposito jersey but with Phil's #7 😊😂
Thank you for this video. I knew I needed to revisit this after your latest jersey video. I'm embarrassed that earlier I asked about a couple of "authentic" Canadiens websites with offers I damn well knew were "too good to be true" but I almost didn't want to believe it. I've taken a closer look since then and some things you said here like "every single jersey on sale" and there being "word vomit" in the FAQ were dead on. Even the similar template. I'm surprised at how stupid I am sometimes, but in my defense I was on a mobile device and out in the sun. One 'jersey joy' video too many and I caved and began poking around. When Full Moon selection appeared limited, I ventured. Now I'm just going to stay put, be patient, and keep an eye out for the right deal.
I really want a Montreal Canadiens USA Flag jersey!
The Jets jersey w/stars n stripes was epic m8!!!It's worded like Yoda wrote the faq's!
Well I accidentally ordered a counterfeit jersey, shit
It BLOWS my mind how people can not tell the difference. The patches on the china jerseys are horribly wrinkled. ALL the patches, The main crest patch, shoulder patches and numbers. Replica and Authentic non-China jerseys will NEVER have wrinkles or creases in the patches. The name bar font on the china jerseys is always off too. Typical slightly larger. The sizing is off. They always run small. Most REAL replica and authentic jersey do NOT have a fight strap unless its a $400 on ice authentic. ALL the China jerseys have a fight strap that is half the size and the wrong material compared to a real fight strap. Please stop buying China jerseys. They look terrible and its dead obvious from 50ft away if its a fake or not. Spend the $60-90 bucks for a real replica.
Admit it, your guy's first hockey jerseys were counterfeit.
Nope
Not mine. Mine was bought at the arena for $95(at the time).
But I look too good to be true. Does that mean that I'm not real? Damn Shannon, you just blew my mind.
American numbers on a Canadian hockey jersey?
You know it’s fake when you see a Christmas vacation name showing on the jerseys, and there are a ton of spelling mistakes. It’s a red flag when the jerseys are all selling for around $35, you can go on Lids and get a real Rebook jersey for around $70 so it’s not worth it. Thanks for the video!
The american flag on anything canadian, is like putting ketchup on a street taco. It's makes your brain stop with how stupid it is.
I’ve also noticed the size of some numbers are smaller than others
I think there are pretty good counterfeit jerseys coming out of China... most people wouldnt even notice a difference. The problem is the crazy price tags on new NHL jerseys.

Counterfeit jerseys make me sick
I have owned two counterfeits in my lifetime. Luckily, I don't own them anymore.
It’s always funny when you see jerseys where a player hasn’t worn that jersey. For example this fake site had a Jamie Lagenbrunner devils red and green jersey with a Stanley cup patch... Also $100 plus jersey and knocking it down for $30ish losing so much money...so much
Screw all these fake jerseys. Make the prices of authentic ones go up. I laugh every time I see one at PPG Arena. I wouldn't be caught dead in a fake jersey.
Fake jerseys would stop being so popular if the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL stopped making their jerseys so fucking expensive. How much of a profit do they need.
@@HipixOFFICIAL no reason we pay so much for jerseys is player contracts. Also,Fanatics is only giving leauges 2-5% of sales.
You need to get another cat and name him 'Cheese' just so that you can put him next to Bear and take a picture.
How long will be the parcel arrived our country??
I can't wait for one of these sites to do something like Hull 16 on a Hawks jersey or Hull 9 on a Blues jersey
The biggest thing about the fakes is the hologram & the tags on the jersey that is another way to spot a fake.
Instagram advertises a lot of sites that sells fake stuff in general.
All your parcles are belong to us.
The fact that their English grammar is so bad is also a sign it's counterfeit as most of these fake jerseys come from Asia
Looks like the ones advertised on Instagram
Thecrankyyankee I'm so fucked right now cause of that
oDs NightBang yea I was seriously debating getting a shipachyev (spelling?) jersey but decided to hold of for financial reasons. Glad I did
My family takes the luck of the draw and only gets fake jerseys so all mine are fake (I'm 14) but my dad got a Thornton jersey and the Teal was all off and they put a women's logo on a men's jersey. Also I got an Evander Kane jersey for my birthday last year and the tag said Reebok Centre Ice and the label on the back and bottom of the jersey said Adidas. There are only 2 sites I would use. One isn't even fake it is for rare and vintage jerseys and they are very high quality with WHA and WHL and non existent teams anymore like Nordiques. The other is one my dad used to get a stealth mode sharks jersey it is practically 100% accurate. Also my Mark Scheifele jersey and Owen Nolan jerseys are real I'm not sure where they were bought. (and my 2 favorite teams are Sharks and Jets)
If it’s too good to be true it usually is. You get what you pay for. I have seen advertisements on Facebook of similar websites. Also, be aware if it’s shipped from China or other imported countries. I’m not willing to take that chance. Rule of thumb, order from well known respected companies.
You guys want to know the easiest way to spot a fake site? Go to the NHL section and see if the Coyotes are still called Phoenix. Im telling you legit sites never call them phoenix anymore.
i want to see what these look like in person
I'm only 17. I don't have the bank roll to spend over $80 on a jersey. I've ordered these before and they're fine for me. Yeah it's cheap. That's what I can afford and no one will really question it
Kenton Lermond It's not about being cheap; you're supporting a sham operation, and taking away work from honest, hardworking people. Btw, I have the same limited funds as you, and if I had to choose spending all my money on a real jersey, or getting a fake because it's cheaper, I would alwayd take the former.
SPENCER HEISLER I get what you’re saying. I just don’t have the bankroll for the real one yet. I’d rather wear a knockoff than regular clothes to a game. One day I’ll collect the real things. Lids is great. Just prices are too high for me right now.
Fake jerseys are made of shit fabric. They don't last. My CCM jerseys from 1991 are still in good shape.
If you want your info stolen then buy one. Also, buying one supports piratcy & lot worst. So best bet is never do a fake. Unless you want your info stolen & you be checking you credit card statements a while.
The way these accounts sell is by getting people who don’t know crap about jerseys to but them. Basically betting on someone gifting it to a hockey fan
Thank you THG
I'm gonna be honest, back in 2010 I was 12 and I wanted an Aaron Rodgers jersey so bad and I saw one with the super bowl emblem on it (This was when Green Bay beat Pittsburgh in the super bowl). Anyways, I bought it and it was $50. I never got anything. Now even a counterfeit jersey! They wrote back in Chinese. I still don't have a Packers jersey :(
Papa Hockey
I just realized this, why do Canadian teams have the stars and stripes?
"Creat Account" 2:10
It had the American Flag numbers on the Jets and Canucks jerseys. 👎🏼
You should buy one just to see it! buy the canucks bertuzzi jersey in the current jersey :P
I laughed at the vancouver and jets ones... stars and strips on a Canadian jersey ...terrible
what a joke. imagine if these scammers were actually smart what they could do and what exactly does spelling create account wrong do im confused?
The Notorious Double Champ Creat Acount
Have you ever seen a legit website like NHL.com or amazon have a awful spelling mistake right on the home page?? Likely not most so seeing a crucial spelling error is usually a dead give away
Yoooo I'd pay money to see you browse the deep web 😂
Some people like jerseys that are only $15 that are close to the real thing, just saying 🤷🏼♂️
I'll be honest, I have probably about 6 counterfeit jerseys....and about 4 authentic jerseys......and if I'm truly being honest, nobody can tell that those 6 are counterfeits unless they take 45 minutes to examine every inch of the jersey....even when next to one of my authentic jerseys, the counterfeits don't clearly scream counterfeit....in other words, my $300 Crosby jersey isn't clearly any better than my $32 Ovechkin jersey.....
and that's why i ask, why would I ever pay $100+ for a jersey?
I still don't have an answer.
I've learned from collecting Star Wars action figures. It's always too good to be true
Dhgate is the place to go for fake jerseys. Its really cheap and its an app. I got a shit ton of flyers jerseys from them and they look famtastic tbh.
Can you do a how to spot a fake on ebay. I have a hard time spotting them sometimes.
I know counterfeit jerseys from a legit jersey
Hey I get all my jerseys from team pro shops
Are there any sites out there that occasionally have a sale on authentic adidas jerseys? Basically all sites you have shown in your previous videos sell those high-end jerseys for $225 and even if the tell you the have 25% off due to e.g. Black Friday (example from lids), jerseys are not included in that. I am desperately looking for a nice up to date game type jersey but don't want to spend $200+ on it (and fanatics are not an option)...
+White8749 Adidas jerseys will be on sale, but not until they're selling off ones for traded players.
The Hockey Guy What about authentic Reebok jerseys from last year or the year before that?
I can help ya out. If you got to NHLShop.com you can get a the older Reebok jerseys for $80. Now the if you want your jersey costumized then ya pay $200+,if want it blank it will cost you $194 after tax & depending on the time you can get up to 25 to 50 percent off your stuff cause you spend a certin amount. Now the new Fanatics Premires are not bad looking they kinda look like a Reebok but if you want to go get a jersey get a Adidas but, have it blank. Oh, on the the Reeboks go a size lower than you wear so if you wear a XL go with a Large. Hope it this helped ya.
I dont know what you mean, this site seems fine to me
just awful i count place one of those next to my real authentic lidstrom jersey
Can you do a video about the allegations that the coyotes aren’t paying their employees and are spying on them
Will do.
At least put the Canadian flag on the Jets jersey come on
Dont go on a counterfeit site thats a scam go on dhgate
Dhgate is the same also. They are scum also
Link to the website?
I just buy adidas from lids or adidas shop I'm not going threw nhl shop.com
Creat account.
Where do you buy your jerseys from
+Dylan Baker Hockey Various eBay sellers (always check ratings), Lids and Sportchek.
The Hockey Guy thanks for replying
I always go thru MLB or any other offical leauge sites shops to get my stuff or even go to stadiums.arenas get it my stuff. Pricey yes, but I rather have a real jerseys than a cheap knock off. I even do a certified stuff that got the approve of the sports leauges to use the names or logos that you can get any Wal-Mart or Kmart.
