I know a lot of people with these jerseys....it's kind of hit or miss when it comes to quality. There are a lot of bootleg jersey sites, and a lot of ppl importing them bulk. There was a huge bust in Canada a while ago actually.... Every few months someone asks me if I want cheap jerseys, as if I can't figure out how to get them myself, without them taking a cut :roll:
I've seen some that have pretty minor flaws (one had the CCM tag at the bottom of the jersey on the front instead of the back)....and I've seen some that look like total ass - the colour on the numbers is a dif shade than the jersey, or the numbers are too thick (picture a super tiny triangle of negative space in the number 4, when compared to the real jerseys).....
Thing is, for $40, you get a crested jersey with tie-downs and the works...the actual materials and stitching are usually top quality....a similar pro nhl jersey, crested, can cost you $300+ retail....talk about f'n gouging your customers. So you could try like 8 dif jerseys before you spent as much as the real thing would cost you.
Authentic jerseys are way overpriced. $330 plus tax. The Replicas run around $150. If the quality is good, I wouldn't feel bad about screwing Reebok and the NHL since they have been screwing us.
Too bad there isn't a Todd Bertuzzi option for the Wings.
And a lot of times these sites are shut down in a matter of weeks. I remember putting a '92 Lemieux in a shopping cart on a Wednesday and by Friday when I went to actually place the order the site was gone. As with everything else on the internets, buyer beware.

Fixed. imalive is on break.
I didn't realize it was easy to post an ad. All I know is those fuckers won't let me put a video anymore so I figured they were on top of their game.
