Default customthrowbackjerseys.com legit?

Hey all, so I think it's time to buy myself a present, and I want a Gary Roberts jersey. I found this site, and wondering if anyone has dealt with them before:

http://www.customthrowbackjerseys.co...ey-Jersey.html

The colors, material, and lettering all looks legit, as does their site. But I don't wanna throw cash at a bad knockoff only because they used a good photo.

i've never heard of them - but from their 'about us' info....

About Us

Welcome to our Online store.

For over 18 years "Custom Throwback Jerseys" (CTJ) has been providing its customers the widest selection of 100% officially licensed MLB and NHL jerseys customized with the greatest stars who have played the game. The quality of our work, the value we offer, and our turn around time is unmatched.

Although we carry a wide range of present day player jerseys, what really separates us from our competition is our incredible selection of Custom Throwback (Retro) player jerseys.

The "CTJ" difference:

1) Selection - We offer by far the widest selection of customized throwback and present day player jerseys anywhere. Our unique buying power allows us to "special" order many team jersey styles that most of our competitors do not have access to.

2) Quality - The quality of our customization (sewing of the player's name and numbers) is second to none. We use only the finest quality Pro Twill fabrics for all our MLB & NHL player kits. All player kits are either NHLPA or MLBPA approved and feature the same style fonts and colors that were/are worn on the ice/field. Every NHL hockey jersey features a "Fabric" name bar (not the "shiny" twill name bars that most other sellers use). All jerseys feature the player's name and numbers professionally "Sewn" (stitched) onto the jersey. None of our jerseys feature the much cheaper screen printed player names and numbers that most of our competitors sell.

3) Turn around time - We customize (sewing of the player's name & numbers) every jersey we sell in-house. This provides us total control over the entire production process, and allows us to ship out our customized jerseys in the fastest times in the industry (14-16 business days). Most other sellers require 3-4 weeks to ship out their customized jerseys.

4) Customer Service - We recognize that purchasing a Baseball or Hockey jersey online can be a difficult process when it comes to choosing the correct size. That is why we contact every buyer right after the purchase helping them to ensure that the size that was purchased will be the proper fit. We welcome any questions you may have, and all emails are answered within a few hours at the latest.

5) Value - We offer the highest "Value" on every jersey we sell. You may find similar jerseys priced lower elsewhere, however we are confident that if you closely compare our jerseys you will clearly see that the value and quality we offer is far superior.

We hope you enjoy your shopping experience at "customthrowbackjerseys.com", and encourage you to visit us frequently as we are always adding more players to our impressive collection.

to me the price suggests legit, while being slightly cheaper than you might expect to pay at a local retailer.

as an aside, have you had a look at river city sports, pro hockey, or hockey experts?

River City has a deal on right now. All throwbacks look to be about the same price currently ($80 for a blank, $85 for customization)

That's a bit of a blanket statement. There's lots of generationally incorrect jerseys at the dome. If FlamesFanStrandedInEDM says they're legit I'll believe it. He knows his jerseys.

True, but it has me wondering though. Were the jerseys directly purchased from the manufacturer with the names already on the back or were they added on after? If the former is the case, then I have a hard time believing these are real.

If there is enough interest from here, maybe we can do a group buy and see if we can negotiate for better pricing with the vendor? I personally would like to get an 89 vintage in red with cresting done.

I'd be in on this. I'd like a MacInnis one.

Side note, I saw the Vintage Dion one and laughed, seeing that he is now vintage, but it's an 89 jersey, which makes it even worse.

And you can get the items shipped to the Calgary location if you want to save on shipping.
