CallawaySabres Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Although, I love the fact they went to the old logo, the quality of the replica jersey seems much worse than it used to be. I have the replica white throwback (Perreault) and it seems a lot more durable than these new ones. I was not about to jump to the authentic which was $375!!!! Anyhow, I know I won't be complaining once it arrives. Anyone else notice the quality or am I imagining this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saber61 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 i bought one too just yesterday at the pre-season game. i got to see the thing in person. it looks great. but i'm pretty sure what they had there was an authentic... not a replica. i asked the guy if the logo's are all stiched and he said yes... obviously there are no shoulder logo's so it may be difficult to actually tell the difference this time.

Chief Enabler Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Is this Rbk tag really on waistband of the 3rds?

That picture is of the men's authentic jersey posted on shop.nhl.com. That tag just looks awful in the middle of the gold stripe on the waistband.

Maybe so, but I'm not really concerned about whether it says XL or 52. I'm more concerned about whether there is a giant tag in the middle of the gold stripe, because that looks awful.

I was in Cleveland this weekend going 5 percent over budget on our new home. I fully understand your recent comment on the signals that give a green arrow even if nobody's there! Aaaggghhh!!!

Frustrating as heck, ain't it? Late Friday night, coming home from a HS football game, I got stuck sitting at two lights less than a mile from my home.

carpandean Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 That picture is of the men's authentic jersey posted on shop.nhl.com. As I implied and d4rksabre said, they used the wrong picture. The Reebok Premier replicas have always had the tag, while the authentic Edge jerseys have not. Compare the home authentic to the home replica. No matter the brand, though, authentics are supposed to be exactly what the players wear, so it's not on the players' jerseys, then it won't be on an authentic. That's why I stick to authentics.

Now I see what you're saying. I wasn't clear on the difference between the Rbk replicas and the authentics, because every jersey I own is a CCM replica, and none have those tags on the front. Are these tags (and the silk-screened shoulder logos) the league and Rbk's way of making sure everyone knows that you bought the replica and couldn't afford the authentic?

Another thing I noticed is that the logo on the chest (even on the authentic) looked more like an iron on than a patch. I know it is not but still...very flimsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have the money but i honestly don't know who to get. I have a few. Of current players, i have Max black goat head, Miller white slug, Vanek home slug. I'm thinking Sekera, Stafford or Paille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 $300 is way too much. I guess I'm going to get a few more years out of the Khmylev jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 IMHO, If I were to spend $350, I'd spend $300 and get an autographed Perreault from Sabresalumni old school for 300 bucks. And spend the rest on margarita's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
