ShipWreck Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just seeing - with all the ###### counterfeit jersey websites out now, sometimes it hard to tell... Does these look like the real deal? http://www.officialcanucksstore.com/kevin-bieksa-jersey-c-5_8.html Prices seem rather low... So, I was wondering...

ShipWreck Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 This should be the real deal, however - http://www.ebay.com/itm/KEVIN-BIEKSA-VANCOUVER-CANUCKS-NEW-HOME-JERSEY-REEBOK-RBK-7185-PREMIER-/120794052504?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item1c1fe2f798#ht_1714wt_944 anyone know anything about the vendor - rocky mountain sports.ca?

orangecrush8 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Nope, those are fake. Most of the pics are not using pictures of the actual jersey, but others are like this.... My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipWreck Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Ok, thanks. Do you know anything about the website: www.coolhockey.com ? They are having a sale on customizing... Vancouver Jersey - Bieska I could get a Bieska jersey made for about $140 there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Coolhockey.com is legit, just like Icejerseys.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipWreck Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Coolhockey.com is legit, just like Icejerseys.com Ok, thanks I assume they do good work? Their current sale is about $20 cheaper than Icejerseys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 No problem. I ordered from both, Coolhockey was very good (I haven't ordered from them since Branislav Mezei wore #5 for the Panthers though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShipWreck Posted November 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I went with cool hockey - I found an old free shipping coupon that still actually worked - with their sale... a customized Vancouver jersey (Bieska) for $138. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(despite the URL name, maybe its not the real deal) Checked the domain whois of that site. Big surprise its registered out of China. Pretty legit looking site otherwise.

orangecrush8 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I find it kind of funny that the original site lists both authentics and replicas on their site. Id hate to see the quality of a fake replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Looking at Coolhockey's website, it looks like they use twill nameplates as opposed to jersey material. Might want to verify that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they made their website seem more official than some of the obvious fake websites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangecrush8 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I know zero about the difference. What is twill nameplates? Twill is what you will get when your Jagr jersey comes from the skatezone. The Flyers are the only team in the league to use twill nameplates. Twill is basically the same material as the numbers. Jersey material is as it states, what the jersey is actually made of and what every other team besides the Flyers use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipWreck Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Oh, ok. Thanks for the detailed info . I'm fine with that, then (the Jagr Jersey comes in on Tues - I'd have it already if it wasn't for slow UPS). That doesn't matter to me. But, I guess it does matter to others? This is the description at Cool Hockey: Unless you buy a Canucks jersey for one of the Sedin twins or Kessler, ya basically have to get one customized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnothaVictim Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Pretty bad example picture of an "on-ice customization" when the real Capitals on-ice lettering looks like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 My brother got a jersey customized at Cool Hockey. They used a twill nameplate, where a nameplate shouldn't have been used at all. The numbers were layered, instead of kiss-cut, as they are on-ice, and the layers on the back number were stitched off-center. Not impressed with their "on-ice customization."

Brilliant! Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 It's very difficult to have kiss-cut numbers done. That takes a laser cutter which is VERY expensive. Most places will only do the stacked because, as far as anyone else knows, sewn-on twill numbers IS on-ice customization. It's a lot simpler to cut too.

NYIJM29 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 If a place has a laser cutter, would it be cheaper (and easier) to (semi) kiss-cut or layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most places will only do the stacked because, as far as anyone else knows, sewn-on twill numbers IS on-ice customization. It's a lot simpler to cut too. I'm sure you're absolutely correct about the difficulty/expense of producing kiss-cut numbers. I may be mistaken here, but I've never gotten the impression that this was anything out of the ordinary with most of the major customizers routinely mentioned in this forum. For example, the last 3 companies I've dealt with, EPS, Monkey Sports and Stitches NJ, all do kiss-cut (if it's called for on-ice) whether you ask for it or not.

NYIJM29 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 LAK47, that was my feeling too (which is why I asked that question). The Isles new thirds have kiss cut lettering/numbering and I can't imagine the Wang $spending any more on cu$tomization than what is necessary. Hell, even Dangle kiss-cuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Even after a customizer absorbs the cost of laser cutting equipment, they don't seem to charge customers any more for kiss-cut kits than stacked ones, at least as far as I've seen. So I doubt the Isles would be out any extra money for their 3rds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
