- Always beware of those prices that look too good to be true online. If a jersey is being sold at below cost, you might be looking at a fake.

How many jerseys can you fit on at once?
I only care when people say that their fake jersey’s are real. It gets me so mad when people do that. I understand that people legitimately can’t afford real ones, and that’s fine. Just don’t go out saying it’s real.
Honestly I think people just like that they have a jersey tho
@@lukasallen6473 that's me. T shirts don't last me long. And I'd rather spend about $150 (whatever current retail price is) on real necessities
@@matthewvz28 👍🏼
Why would that piss you off, people can’t afford real jerseys and that’s fine it shouldn’t make you mad that’s kind of ridiculous man
@@sracher1584 read my comment again. My main grip with it, is when people say that it’s real, knowing it’s fake. I understand if they can’t afford real jerseys.
"And she would get me the KMart jeans"...
(Pause)
That was a raw deal back in the day. Seriously.
I keep seeing those ads for the fakery website. They’re doing such a disservice.
Also the stamping on the NHL emblem is almost never accurate. It’s not aligned with the shield and the banner.
The shield on some of the fakes is so bad it's laughable.
The fanatics jerseys are “official”, but they’re still crap. Upset that Adidas doesn’t make the women’s cut like Reebok did. The men’s jerseys arms are just WAY too long & wide, and they just don’t fit right. Sadly, only fanatics make the women’s cut.
I LOVE the strings!!!
The one fake on my collection I have a weird love for is a Penguins Winter Classic jersey that isn’t based on the real design, but a fan version that was going around earlier. So there is no ‘authentic’ version of that one. Always wondered if the guy who drew it up ever found out that it got made and sold online.
I have only one NFL throwback fake and it’s regulated to bumming around the house/mowing the lawn duty. Got it as a gift 3 years ago and it’s never been past my yard.
Great video for being cautious about what you buy and what to look for. Thanks, Shannon.😎
I understand the problem with fakes but when you live in europe it's almost necessary evil unless you want to pay absurd amount for shipping and then everything else on top of that (aka your cheap legit jersey is suddenly 200€)
I'd rather not have it at all than buy a fake.
Thank you sir, I got my Habs Kotkaniemi jersey from Cool Hockey for a way cheaper price due to sale and I love it and wouldn’t have known about the website without you
I got dooped on eBay with a ccm linden jersey once about 12 years ago, as soon as I opened the package the weird smell was obvious (petroleum product) and then of course there were all the tell tale signs of fakery. I was lucky whereas the seller immediately responded to my displeasure and refunded my full payment stating “ I never said it was authentic” but then again he never said it was fake!
Great video! I used to collect Pops and while I've sold most I've kept a lot of them and fakes started popping up as I stopped collecting. I collect Lego and there's fakes of those but they're easy to spot. When it comes to clothes and especially shoes the fakes are much harder to spot. If you know what you're looking at and you own some jerseys it's easy to spot fakes but if you don't know much about them and if it's your first jersey then you'll probably get scammed.
I own 4 NFL, 2 NCAA Football, 1 NHL Jersey. As my first jerseys I bought 1 off Ebay and 1 off Mercari. After buying them I found out about fakes and after doing research I was sure the one from Ebay was fake and I was pretty sure the one from Mercari was fake. Luckily the Ebay seller hadn't shipped yet so I was able to cancel the order and get the listing taken down since he was trying to sell it as legit. I let the seller on Mercari know I thought his jersey was fake and he ensured me it was not. It came in and it was fake like I thought I sent it back. After the return he was getting angry and trying to prove to me it was real while ignoring all of my proof it was fake. His listings all got shut down and he went off on me saying I flagged them but I didn't yet as I was trying to educate the man.
I've shared my knowledge with others and even wrote guides on spotting fakes in my Ohio State Buckeyes, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, & Tampa Bay Lightning Facebook groups. Sometimes people are thankful and sometimes they get angry.
I won't ever buy fake items but I won't judge others either. I just want people to know what they're getting and if they're buying fakes to not to not pay $75 or so thinking they're getting an authentic jersey at a great a deal when they cold get it for $30. I also won't tell people they're wearing fakes unless they ask. I have a coworker who has a ton of jerseys and they're all fake but I don't say shit.
I do understand both sides though as buying fakes is taking money from the sport. I also understand the other side as jerseys can be quite overpriced and not everyone has $100-$200+ to spend on a Football or Hockey jersey. I think the only time I get annoyed is the college jerseys and the Salute To Service jerseys. My problem with the NCAA jerseys is these kids aren't getting paid so wearing a jersey with their name on it is pretty shitty. My big issue is the fake Salute To Service jerseys because they take money from charity. When you buy a NFL jersey the proceeds go to the NFL and the teams, players, ect get some of it. When you buy a legit Salute Your Troops jersey the proceeds don't go to the NFL but instead go to a number of charity's for veterans like the Wounded Warrior Project, various USO projects, Pat Tillman Foundation, and many others. If you buy a fake Salute to Service then that means 0% of the proceeds go to those charites and 100% go to China. I just can't imagine anything less American than buying a fake jersey that is supposed to honor and support the troops from China and none of your money actually going to the veterans. Even if you're not American but love football I can't see anything less respectful than this. If there was a Canadian Hockey version or something where you could buy a jersey variant and the proceeds would go to Canadian Veterans I'd buy one.
In conclusion this is a great video for people who are looking to buy a jersey and know the differences if they're not sure if they want a real or fake one or at least know what they're looking for in spotting fakes. A lot of times people who buy fakes tell me people won't know the difference and in a way you're right because people aren't fans, most casual fans, fans who aren't into jerseys, and even the educated fans from far away won't see the difference. The other side to that is that I've seen many fakes with wrong shades of colors or the wrong color entirely, typos on the team or player name, wrong numbers, wrong emblems, horrible stitching, and many other issues that would be give away the jersey as fake to even the uninitiated. The big thing is that you will know will know it's fake and even if you're cool with that you have to understand that because it's so much cheaper you're missing out on craftsmanship and materials. The numbers be will stiff and not move with your body, it will feel heavier and even uncomfortable, that material that helps that helps keep you cool is no where to be found, and there is many others because the materials are different and cheap. I've also noticed that the fake jerseys are itchy to me and I've heard others say they gave their a minor allergic reaction. I have also been told the fake jerseys stink and after you wash them they still smell because of the materials and if you sweat it smells more and because the materials you might end up sweating if you're wearing it in a warm room or on a warm day.
😂 full circle back to cheap knockoff jeans, well done
Been waiting on this as I’ve started to build a jersey collection, congrats on 120K
My collection is all authentic because of you and your wife's knowledge of sewing and stitching, words cannot Express my gratitude for that!
Appreciate you looking out for people, educating them on how to spot a fake 👍
My dad (may he rest in peace) got me a Marchand WCH jersey, the first year Adidas made NHL jerseys. Unfortunately a couple years down the line I bought an authentic St Patrick's Day practice jersey, and realized a lot of bad inconsistencies with the WCH and St. Patrick's. Turns out he bought me a fake. It's a good quality fake though, so it's not like most people will notice, and it isn't exactly a common jersey.
I got a fake Scheifele Jersey that seems 100% accurate. I've compared it to a real and it's almost identical.
megarollX Rgm Broadcasting hit and miss
Make an imgur album and send pics
Where did you purchase your jersey?
Ok then how do you know its fake
When did u buy it?
I was hoping you would have shown the fight strap of the fake jersey, that's another part of the jersey that the fakes never get right, or even close to being right! 😂
the little elastic band they put in😂
Full Moon Jerseys on ebay sells authentic licensed product at excellent, below cost prices. Below cost is legit in their case because they purchase high volume (thousands of them) as close outs from adidas. Close outs mean discontinued jerseys and/or traded player jerseys. So while they are below normal cost, they are legit, 100%.
love fmj, Got a patty kane authentic for 45$
Great site! Them, Hockey Authentic, Ben H Sports and Cool Hockey are go-to’s for genuine gear.
The Authentic Replica NHL jersey made in my country, indonesia. Since Reebok, and now Adidas.
Fake jersey made in china.
Getting my kessel kachina jersey today I’m giddy!
Let’s fucking ride
I have a modest collection of jerseys but no current NHL ones, too expensive. 3 kids, blah blah blah, you can understand.
I have mostly minor league, older defunct NHL, international jerseys.
I've been having decent luck lately getting real KHL jerseys of all things.
You can tell right away the quality is cheap
I bought a kings jersey for $180 from Macy's.com came with original tags and everything even the Adidas button was on it.
i find most sellers selling the fakes wont disclose they are fakes unless you ask if its real then they will say replica or another vague term for fake
I told my teacher that he had a fake jersey and he pretty much told me that I was crazy and then he told me he paid $600 for it and then I said okay u got ripped off even if it was real
Lorne Richards your teacher is a dumbass
In the US its against the law to sell anything counterfeit. Federal agents from I.C.E./Homeland Security will bust anyone selling counterfeits.
We have a swap meet/flea market in my town that gets raided about every 3 years. You’ll see TONS of fake stuff all day, then nothing for about 3 months while the vendors restock.
Then the cycle repeats.😂
the hockey jerseys subreddit is awesome
Thanks for the tips. You could have no lights on and from 20 paces that fake would have been obvious. Also beware of mailing addresses from Winnipeg, Alberta.
I just bought a fake Rangers reverse retro jersey off ebay. With the price I knew it was gonna be a fake but I took the risk anyway. The shoulder patches are a dead giveaway, like really badly to where I probably wouldn't wear it to a game.
I know dest the Pawn Shops in British Columbia . They sell Fake Knock offs too
Bought one off a guy and he shipped it from the US. Total fake and could tell right away. Told him it was fake and I wanted a refund and tried to claim it was real. eBay came in and gave me my money back and didn’t make send it back so now I have a legit and fake Ducks jersey 🤷♂️
Adidas should be kickin' back some jerseys to you for promoting their's and dissing the knock offs. Cheer's Shannon
Yea i got screwed on a ccm Vintage
Thanks for sharing. I will be ashamed in buying a fake jersey .... if the real jerseys will be made in North America or Europe.
Fakes and fanatics jerseys is ruining sports memorabilia
You should do a video about all types of jerseys. (CCM, Reebok, etc..)
Were your Kmart jeans "Lee" Jeans? Ha Ha
I have some button fly 501 Levi jeans from 1987. LOVE the button fly
megarollX Rgm Broadcasting my wife accidentally bought me a fake Sabres Eichel 50th anniversary jersey for $60 but it actually looks amazing. I'm pissed that they were misleading but I compared the jersey to my Adidas Winter Classic jersey and the quality is pretty much identical. There's no way I'm sending it back since the Adidas ones are actually sold out everywhere, and no way I'm spending over $200 for a very very similar product. I'm trying to get some of my money back since the website was misleading, but overall I'm not even upset, looks amazing!
That's exactly what angers me with fakes - the gall of the person to describe it as authentic. I have 2 fakes. One was expected - it was a good price and the seller was completely honest in their description. The other one... either the seller didn't know they had a fake or they are piece of garbage. Lesson learned.
So... I'm watching this, and I recently bought a Jets Byfuglien jersey, and the seller also had a Hellebuyck jersey... and I bet it's the same one I saw, but I preferred Byfuglien to add to my collection. It's super passable to me EXCEPT the fight strap did look a bit poor, but I didn't have anything to compare it to until I got an Oilers authentic I bought off the Adidas store. But I have no other Jets jersey to compare, so it was hard to know. These seem more passable than the Reebok, as I always looked for Indonesia over Canada. But this is good stuff to know going forward.
Mine DOES have the button, it clearly says CLIMALITE, The logo stitching is similar to the fake you show. Well, damn. I'm let down, but I do still think it looks better than some of them out there. I don't NEED it to be real and expensive, but I need it to look real. I'm just not looking to spend $220 or whatever for authentic, but Fanatic jerseys are garbage. When I see a Red Wings jersey with a name on it and there's a nameplate or the lettering is clearly the wrong font/number style... those get me angry.
If something seems to good to be true, it probably is.
I saw someone at an Avs game that I felt horrible for. He bought a fake and the biggest tell was the C on the shoulders, were backwards.....
How could you buy a $50 new jersey and not realize it's a fake? Also, the blue on the fake actually looks better than the real jersey!
Alexander Milentis funny you say adidas.com is selling new jerseys for about 60 right now.
@@henrystreib7711 how? I keep seeing them for 220 cheapest 180
Hey what if you got a jersey but i doesn’t have a Reebok symbol in the back and it doesn’t have a the nhl symbol around the collar
It's probably an older model CCM or Starter.
Considering I only wear my jerseys to the games, it wouldn't bother me to wear a knockoff.
I knew someone who bought a Dallas Stars Jersey. ONE of the shoulder logo's was upside down. Really a horrible return for your money.
Was it Fanatics?
Instagram vs reality lol
How about just buying new from only trusted sites & how much can these scammers really be making from this fake crap? hockeyauthentic.com only way to go for a Adidas jersey!
Growing up, my mom and I were super poor, so I understand the whole Kmart thing lmao. She worked her tail off to get me a jersey, and I straight up told her, "it's not worth getting me a jersey, just get me a t-shirt or something." Of course I was super thankful for it, and I still have it, but Id rather we had money for gas or other stuff instead of 1 jersey. This might sound wrong through text, but I mean it in the best way.
Hockey t-shirt*
You were brought up right mate, Bless your Mam👍
Such a great video. I collect NYR jerseys and I see people trying to sell these crap overseas jerseys for ridiculous prices on ebay.
I just got a white panarin jersey from coolhockey and it’s great. Also a blue shesterkin jersey and I have a alternate avs jersey coming considering they are my second favorite team 🤙🏼
People stop getting fakes its not worth it go on ebay if you just want a jersey for cheap and you dont care just go on ebay you can find so many different jerseys for good deals. I mean if you want something specific yeah fakes are better but like ebay is better
Today’s lesson: Don’t buy 60 dollar jerseys.
I just watched a video with a young guy saying he has authentic jerseys which he paid $80. I’m a goalie and a oilers fan. I bought two team issued goalie cut jerseys from jersey baron on eBay. Made in Canada Reebok . Heavy duty jerseys. Big difference “real team issued” and the fake ones bought in malls, hockey stores ect...even grant Fuhr team thought it was “one of grants “ you can see that video on my channel. Also, I’m sure the real deal Adidas team issued jersey are made in Canada not Indonesia
are all jerseys from the nhl shop original?
Great job hockey guy. Thanks for the work.
Do you or know anyone who is willing to sell a 2019 Arizona Coyotes All Star Parley jersey??? 🇺🇸
I bought a jets jersey. Looked decent but it was the same fake in the video.😭
I purchased an thrift authentic CCM LA Kings for just an offer 28 on ebay! Had a small hole on the sleeve, The seller just wanted to sell it already😄
Nice deal.
Can you compare the Fanatics jersey with a fake??
Sadly, the Fanatics version isn’t far off from fakes these days. Their quality control has gone to shit and what you pay for is just really bad.
Got a discounted Authentic Adidas Matt Murray home pens jersey for $60 yesterday off fanatics couldn’t turn it down plus the guy got us pens fans 2 cups he is worth it lol
Some people just don't care, they are cheap enough with their lives that they fund these companies with buying k mart jerseys rather than levis; referring to what you said. I live by one standard, buy expensive, cry once, buy cheap, cry forever
My jersey just came in today and I noticed I didn't have an Adidas bottom, so I thought it was maybe a fake. Thank you for the video man, didn't know only year one jerseys had the button. Bought it on the official nhl store btw.
You are doing a favor to some people by putting this video out. Fake jerseys are crap and so are the people who sell them.
Do you have any experience with BoBuyer.com? I wanted to buy a jersey from them but I'm worried it will be a fake.
You can get NHL jersey from Fanatics that cost like 40-60 without the numbers and nameplate
I actually just purchased a Seattle Kraken# 32 Jersey on Facebook Marketplace for $78 us from fly gear original price was $160 us on sale for $85.99 +12 shipping -$17.20 FB offer
Thanks to this video, I realized that I spent $450 (US) on four fake jerseys over the past year...oddly enough my one real NHL jersey from the official website cost me $40 (god bless you Canucks Ryan Miller, you were good enough to be remembered but not good enough to be sold at full price instead of clearance sale).
To be honest, I’ve seen some pretty bad fakes, but looking at mine I still like them. I think the fact that I had to double check “is this fake” means that it looks close to the original instead of being way off to begin with, so I’ll still use them or give them to a friend who’s a casual watcher of the game.
I bought a Sean Monahan jersey in 2013. Still have it. I even use it as a practice jersey in beer league
Pj Delta you have beer league practice? Scandalous.
Oaks Armorial just trying to say good quality goes a long way. What we’re you trying to say?
This issue continues to the autographed jersey market. Fakes of jerseys, autos, and Certificates of Authenticity (COA) are out there. Buyer beware.
Yeah,people are getting counterfeit jerseys autographed & then get it certified & then sell it. In the states its against the law to sell anything counterfeit
While I agree that this particular fake is awful, I wouldn't say they all are. I bought multiple fake jerseys, never expecting anything else, and they are nowhere this bad. I can't afford the originals, it's even more expensive when you're from Eastern Europe, and I am happy with what I got.
For the price, I’d take the fake one. They are probably both made in the same sweat shop in China by 12 year olds anyhow.
Awesome vid!!! Buffalo has new jersey’s and i just got mine in the mail from pre order and i’m happy to say it doesn’t have strings!!! Also it is an aeroready and not climalite interesting!! can you explain what the difference is?
The only difference I can tell is the Climalite has a button on the bottom. And Aeroready does not.
If it says made in Indonesia is it fake?
No.
If i buy a jersey from NHL.com does the team of the jersey purchased get most of it, or how does all that work? I don't care what the price of a jersey is for the team i cheer for, i'll pay it if it means i support them
I always believe you get what you pay for. I ordered a carter hart jersey from Philadelphia Flyers.com. Why they didn’t get the license for that website is beyond me. It took two week to get it. When I checked the tracking and it said it was coming from Korea the republic I knew it was gonna be fake. It’s not a horrible fake better then some but you can see the differences right away. I should of looked to see if it was flyers Wells Fargo center website. Oh well live and learn but that’s why I always order from amazon or nhl shop
I see soooo many fake Colorado jerseys when I go to Avs games. It always bothers me cause to me they should support the team and buy real. But the fake Avalanche ones are sooo easy to spot. Whether it's the incorrect shade of burgundy or the obvious incorrect lettering for the names and numbers.
are jerseys that you buy at retail stores ever fake? because if not then there definitely seems to be different "tiers" of jerseys that you can buy at dicks sporting goods in hockey and football at least. i have a wayne simmonds jersey that has silk like stitched on numbering and a claude giroux jersey bought a few years earlier for much cheaper that has more patched on numbering.
I got stung on a RR Blues for 137$ shipped from CA, indo that was a fake., off EBAY.
Can't you return it?
I just got a Mathews Jersey in the mail form nhlshop.ca and now inhave my doubts in regards to its authenticity. Anyone know anything about nhlshop.ca ???
that's the official NHL store for Canada...
This is a cool video, there’s always those people that say “Just get Fakes, they are just as good as the real ones and save you way more!!!” I think it’s an excuse for not wanting to drop money on a real one.
It is and I wish those folks would own it
Would a fake Jersey come with an NHL tag claiming it’s authenticity? And could someone check out Flash Jerseys? Bought two from them and I’m wondering if they’re fake or not.
Some fakes do come with tags.
Nah go online on a fake jersey website and pay 35$ who cares
What about the authentication code on the inside tag? D the knockoffs add those. I can’t find anywhere to check the code online.
Sometimes you get a deal. Mostly you get what you pay for.
What does year one mean? I just got a Toronto maple leafs one , and it doesn’t have the Adidas badge at bottom of jersey. Brought it from fans edge
He means the 2017-18 season when it was the first season Adidas became the jersey maker for the NHL after Reebok.
Hey buddy I have a question I’m getting a hockey jersey off of eBay which excepts returns and it says authentic with tags in the description now it’s only $65 it’s an old Winnipeg Jets heroes of hockey jersey with selanne on the back with his number 13. If the sizing on the tag says 52 and not 2XL does that automatically mean it’s 100% fake?
Thank you so much I’m hoping it’s not fake because who would make an old-school Winnipeg Jets fake jersey
It’s from an eBay store called 714 authentic have you heard of them?
if it's cheap, it's me !😉
Hey Shannon, where do you get those storage hangers and how many jerseys do they hold? Thanks.
Show the fight strap
Ugh, those Walmart shoes. :( When I first started working again, I had 2 retail jobs, about 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. Wally's shoes were all I could afford. They actually held up okay, but my feet didn't. It didn't take long before I would come home from a long day at work with my arches and ankles on FIRE. NEVER buying Walmart shoes again. >:(
What do you think of Fanatics Jerseys? I a few months back bought my first hockey jersey and at the time I didn’t know there was a difference between adidas and fanatics and I’m slightly disappointed that I got a new blank Devils for $90 and it’s not really that nice.
I hope my order from NHL shop is legit.
I have a toronto maple leaf jerseys from there
What if the name bar is slightly crooked
Just got what is supposed to be an authentic Capitals Backstrom Adidas Jersey, can’t really tell if it’s fake or not. I paid like $45 for it, didn’t see many red flags from the eBay seller through pics and examining the jersey... it’s hard to tell. Need help.
If the stitching is sloppy, or the logo material sticks out, it's a fake.
Could see that jets jersey was a fake at the 1 second mark
Lol, in the thumbnail.
Just wanted to thank you for your work. I was about to buy a jersey off a buy/sell app. Something didn’t feel right. The nhl logo looked right but o just had a feeling. Everything looked good but then o noticed the laces were too long and the eye holes were silver and not white. So it was obviously fake. While I was googling and comparing authentic adidas jerseys adidas had it for 50% off so the hockey gods had my back. That was off of adidas.com I got the last one and it was my size.
About 10 years ago a friend brought in a bunch of fakes but was up front about it even then he had no problem selling them in local collector shows, it helped the quality was excellent but I didn’t pick one up Myself.
get what you pay for ....and Winnipegers dont care lol trust me 5 min from bellmts center and you see them all the time...
