I got an authentic Kesler jersey that the players wear during the games with fight-strap and all that. I won it at a bar.
Do you guys know if they sell those at the Canucks store at the stadium? If so, what are the chances of them allowing me to exchange it for a smaller size?
I doubt i'll be able to do it now as they probably don't even have any left, but maybe some time in the off-season when they get some more jerseys again. I don't have any reciepts obviously but all the tags are still attached and whatnot.
I doubt the one you won at the bar is actually legit. Post up a picture and we'll see...
The Canucks Store will not do exchanges without a receipt.
Prior to Round 1 Game 1, they were $20 each. Then nobody bought them, so they dropped the price to $10. Still few people bought them, so the Canucks Street Team started handing them out for free. Eventually the scarves sold like hot cakes and was sold out after Round 1 Game 2. I was at the playoff store and remember seeing some people grab like 10 of them at a time.
Um...How about the fact that he has the hardest slapshot in the NHL at 170km/hour....
Yeah. Didn't see it today though. As the commentators were saying, during the PP,
it's a mistake to put Chara in front of Luongo instead of making him take point shots.
The commentator said something like this (paraphrased) "Chara's in front of Luongo,
but the problem is that he's so tall, his crotch's is at the crossbar height, and Luongo's finding those pucks"
I'm pretty sure later in the series, they'll put Chara at the point instead.

Just got home from being downtown. So much love. So much love. It was like the Olympics again. I'm just sad that I have to miss all the remaining games.... Party extra hard, Revscene, cuz days like today don't happen very often.
Yeah, they're only going to happen three more times this season.

Here ya go:
I don't see how it can't be "legit" since I ultimately won the Jersey from Molson (Canucks sponsor), and as far as I know, only the highest level jerseys have the fight-strap....
It's a knockoff. Just because they are a sponsor doesn't necessarily mean they will have legit jerseys for prizes. I was watching a Conference Final game at the Boston Pizza (they are a sponsor as well) at Queensborough and their top prizes were fake jerseys.
Tell tale signs:
#1 - Name and numbers are not Z-Stitched, fonts are off
#2 - Logo is too puffy
#3 - Cut of the jersey is off. The bottom hem of the jersey 'tails' off, it shouldn't be flat
#4 - The size tag on retail replicas should be stitched directly below the black Reebok tag on the inside, no gap. These jerseys are all made in Canada to a much higher standard than their Indonesian counterparts so you won't find things like a crooked size tag either.
I started collecting replica jerseys 10 years ago, moved up to retail authentics and now I only collect team issued/game worn jerseys specializing in Canuck jerseys from the mid-90s to present so I know what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the info.
That said, the name and numbers ARE z-stitched. I can't say much about the logo and the cut, nor the size tag...
Also, are you saying that this jersey is made in Indonesia even though it says "Made In Canada"?
Do you have any pics of a legit jersey showing exactly what you are talking about for each point?
Edit: Sorry, I've been calling this jersey the same as the ones worn in the game. I take that back, and should say that it's a "Retail Authentic" Jersey. Mickz, does that sound right?
These are all made in Canada with Reebok’s X-trafil four-way stretch water repellent fabric (“Edge 1.0”) Everything, and I do mean everything on this jersey is stitched, it has a fight strap, and overall is a much heavier jersey than their Premier counterparts. The only sizes made for retail are 46, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58.) My jersey seems to meet all these requirements...Let me know & thanks in advance!

It's not hard for someone in Asia to simply stitch on a tag that says "Made in Canada."
I don't have an authentic third but here's a couple pics I just took of my Retail Authentic Edge 1.0 Vancouver Home Jersey... slightly different jersey but the basics are still the same.
It's 2am and I don't really want to lay out one of my jerseys on the floor to snap a picture but here's one of my friend's team stock Edge 2.0 jerseys. It's made of a different material than the retail version but the cut of the jersey is the same as the Retail 1.0. Notice how the bottom hem of the jersey is curved, not flat.
It was only the sixth time in the expansion era that Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final ended in a shutout. All five previous Game 1 shutout winners went on to win the Stanley Cup ('08 Red Wings, '03 Devils, '01 Avalanche, '84 Oilers and '83 Islanders). Posted via RS Mobile
man, i finally understand what you guys were talking about when being forced to listen to stupid comments from other fans.
i was at a friend's bbq today and this one guy just would NOT shut up. stupid comment after stupid comment just stfu please!
i guess i've been taking for granted how knowledgeable some of the fans in this thread are and how much better it can be to watch games at home with no distractions.
Give us the guy's name so we can find him on FB and ridicule him.

Not sure about the price drop in the team store though.

I will admit, it is one of the better knockoffs... or maybe because I haven't seen amny 3rd jersey knockoffs, but some are just brutal... Also you should look at the tag, the MY in the tag of the hologram should actual appear and dissapear.
Lastly, fight straps on legit jerseys are thick and the button is damn strong.. the fakes are like buttons you would find on a woman's purse!
