I don't have a Devils Vintage (CCM) jersey yet; that's why I contacted SportsK about their photo of that jersey.

 

What I do have are 1) a white Devils Edge Premier 1 (i.e. Reebok vectors logo) that has a perfectly attached crest and 2) a red Devils Edge Premier 2 (i.e. Reebok wordmark logo) that has a crest that isn't attached quite right.  (I also have a few older CCM replicas that I picked up for cheap at Ollie's Bargain Outlets.)  Neither of these Reebok jerseys are authentics; they are Edge Premier (i.e. replicas that sell for $120-125 or so at most legitimate and some illegitimate websites).  I bought both of the jerseys through SportsK, roughly one month apart (white jersey was bought first).

 

Incidentally, I did look at the tags on the Devils Vintage CCM jersey on both the SportsK website and one of the popular, reputable websites (probably either IceJerseys.com or CoolHockey.com, I can't remember which one), and the neck tags looked essentially the same to me.

 

 

They are not even remotely close.  Below is a comparison shot.  The one on the left is a picture I have taken of one of my official throwbacks I got at the NHL store in manhattan.  The exact same tag appears on my other two throwbacks; one from Modells back in 2010 and one from J&S Sports Gallery.  The one on the right is from SportsK.  They are not even close.  After the Edge's, the NHL vintage line is the most counterfeited and the one on SportsK looks like the tagging used by those knockoffs you see on ebay for #29 Brodeur with the wrong font and everything.  I have seen one of these in person and they look decent, but there are a few details wrong and the sizing is wonky, usually with the sleeve lengths being too short.

The funny thing about the CCM Vintage jersey tags is the tags I remember seeing on jerseys sold in the brick and mortar stores is the tag on the right.

Which ones? I have never seen the ones on the right except on eBay or the knockoff sites

Here's a comparison of the blue Colorado Rockies jerseys (which I now remember were the jerseys where I was checking the tags) on CoolHockey.com and SportsK.com:

I'm pretty sure the tags are the same on both jerseys.

The sportsk rockies jersey looks wonky ad hell and Cool hockey has been known to be suspect at times. Still why does sportsk have the knockoff devils throwback up there?

Also both have been known to be terrible at customizing.

DevsMan84 - frankly, I think your jersey standards are a lot higher than mine (or most other people's).  I think your standard is if the players on the ice didn't wear it, it's fake.  There's nothing wrong with that, though that is a higher standard than I need.

 

From looking around the internet on other hockey forums, it appears CoolHockey and SportsK (and a few other sites, like IceJerseys and FansEdge) are legitimate hockey jersey and sports apparel sellers.  Heck, the unofficial NHL Uniforms database site - http://www.nhluniforms.com/ - is partially sponsored by CoolHockey and was previously sponsored by SportsK.

 

Notwithstanding our different jersey standard thresholds, I appreciate your feedback.  If nothing else it made me look more closely at certain websites to convince myself they are legitimate.  Based on my own examination, IMO SportsK and the other sites I mentioned above are legitimate.  I think the issue with my red Devils Edge Premier 2 jersey was that it was an Edge Premier 2, not that SportsK sold it.  I say that because I've seen MANY comments on the internet disparaging the Reebok Edge 2 jerseys, more so the "authentics" but also the replicas.

So im sure this question has been asked many times over....

I see everyone mentioning the different series of reebok jerseys in this thread and i was wondering other than the reebok wordmark on the back vs the logo what other ways can you tell the different reebok series apart? Is there a serial number or anything that differentiates them?

My newest jersey has the reebok wordmark and i assume its the newest version. I notice subtle differences with stitching, etc but nothing too major. It does fit a little bigger than i remember. I tried on a jersey that was the same size at the nhl store about a year and a half ago and it fit perectly. This one seems larger. I wonder if it was a different series and the cut chAnged.

Its interesting to see how the replicas have changed through the years. I have old ccms, a koho, and a coupleof reeboks. All very different in material, cut, weight, how the logo is made, etc.

Very nice! I take it not game worn? Still love those Cosby jerseys from the 80's.

Thanks, I was thinking it might be game worn myself. I don't see many early Devils authentics unless they are game worn, but this jersey is in way too good of condition.

Yeah most of the older game worms from that time are pretty hammered. Got it through eBay or a collector?

Any chance you have an authentic retro night jersey (RBK Edge) that you'd be willing to sell?

Where is the best place to get an authentic jersey these days.. And I don't mean some cheapo I do edge piece of garbage.. I mean one of the actual ones that the players wear.. I tried some of the links on the first page of this thread and none of them seem to have anything available I even tried NHL.com and the only thing I could find their are the replicas.. I looked on meigray for a blank figuring I could just send it somewhere for the name plate and numbers but they didnt have any available... I would just buy a clarky game worn if he resigns but he wears like a 58 I think it was and thats way too big my jersey size is only a large which I beleive is like a 50 or a 52?

I would like an Andy Greene tee where may I find it? I don't see it through NHL.com or fansedge

Nah I think the only place you can get it is at the arena.

I know NHL.com won't allow you to put current players in an if you do, the system rejects it. I heard if a trick where you just put a space before and after the name and it will allow it. Like if you want Greene just type [space]GREENE[space] and it should allow it

Thanks I ask because my last name is Green lol
