Default Are these jerseys real?

I'm guessing they're probably not, because they're $80? Just want to confirm if someone knows how to tell from a photo like these. Couldn't think of a better place to ask...

You can tell by the stitching around the numbers.

Not to mention the fonts for the name bar and numbers.

This guy probably got them from China for $20 each. He’ll make a tidy little profit.

Haha wow that is garbage.

Wrong Font. Flames never used numbers that skinny. Name bar on all those fakes are way to low.

Those are terrible.

If you want a deal on a jersey, I saw a few Ferland jerseys on Friday at the Wings game. They were 50% off. To me that's a far better option than a cheap knock off.

The stripes at the bottom and elbows are not even close.

The “A” on the white jersey is hilarious.

The price alone - about 40% of retail - tells you they are fakes. As would the brand new account selling dozens of jerseys. But yeah. The numbering especially is amateur hour.

Damn, I couldn't make the pictures that big on my computer. Yeah, that definitely looks off. Well, that's what I figured. Thanks all.

Feel free to delete or lock this thread.

Yeah those are bad. The Adidas stitching is not nearly up to the quality of the authentics, the thickness of the black on the neckline is too thick, the striping on the arms and at the bottom is not the same as the authentic, and the name and number is the wrong font.



Here is the image from the Flames official site for comparison.

If you want one of the new Adidas player crested jerseys at a decent price take a look here. https://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=172439. Poster always is a pleasure to deal with and has high quality stuff.

Actually, crap. I was basing the 40% on the Fanatics replicas. That guy is selling those for about 20% of retail for an Adidas pro.

FlamesFan in Edmonton has a great deal in the buy/sell forum and he's giving 20% off to Cpuckers. There's a really nice Tkachuk in there that can be had for 160

What is going on with the whole top area of the jersey? The colar is friggin' huge.

It was really only a matter of time before all the nuclear waste came bubbling to the surface of the Foothills.
