I was just looking at the NHL.com jersey auctions, and saw this.

It is a replica Canada Cup '76 jersey signed by Darryl Sittler. There is also one signed and numbered by Bobby Orr. link

I have no issue with this, but if they are supposed to be replicas of the 1976 jersey, should there really be a Nike swoosh on them? If that was on the tag or something, no problem. But with it predominately above the name, it really takes away from the 'replica' aspect.

(and historical note - a graphic design student was paid $35 for the (now) famous logo)

Is thaere any additional value for this jersey versus something you could get from Jersey City and then have Orr/Sittler sign?
