Hockey Jersey U – Lesson 4 – Scammers and Frauds on Ebay

Fake Jerseys

     After a restful vacation, I have returned! Ready to hit the blog once again. As one of my primary reasons for starting this blog was to combat counterfeiters, scammers, and frauds on Ebay, today’s lesson is very important! Some of the usual suspects are still scamming unsuspecting buyers. While I will not give you the names of the scammers right here on my blog, all you have to do is conduct a search on eBay and you will find the exact items I have posted pictures of in this update.

     If you have read any of my previous postings, you will recall that I specifically mentioned that the Blackhawks wore ultrafil jerseys through the 1993-94 NHL season. Thus, any special patches such as the NHL 75th Anniversary Patch (1991-92 season), Stanley Cup 100th Anniversary Patch (1992-93 season), or 1992 Stanley Cup Finals Patch (End of 1991-92 season) were only worn on Ultrafil jerseys, NOT AIR-KNIT! Are you following me so far…???  

     Below you will find pics that I have posted of Air-Knit Blackhawks jerseys that have had the previously mentioned patches added to them and are being sold as authentic! Let me make this crystal clear. If you see an authentic Hawks jersey with any of the patches I have listed, it had better be a CCM Ultrafil jersey. Otherwise, it is a worthless FAKE, PERIOD! While the actual jersey itself is in fact an Authentic On Ice Game Jersey, it is NOT any older than 1995, therefore the patches do not belong. In addition, the seller is falsely stating that these Hawks jerseys are from the early 1990’s. THEY ARE NOT! The seller’s claims are a bald-faced lie, PERIOD! Do not get burned! If you do business with scumbags like this Ebay scammer, you get what you deserve.


     Now, let us look at a FAKE 1994 Stanley Cup Rangers replica jersey (See pics below). This jersey is also posted on Ebay and is claimed by the seller to be a timeline correct 1994 jersey. IT IS NOT! IT IS A FAKE! Anyone who knows anything about Rangers jerseys knows that the Rangers did not wear lace-up jerseys during that timeframe. This seller has taken a late model Indonesian-made CCM replica jersey from 2003-04 season and placed a 1994 Stanley Cup Finals Patch on it, and is claiming it to be exactly like the ones the players wore on the ice! LOL!!! You would have to be stupid to fall for that one. However, the point here is that, the seller is a fraud and is knowingly misrepresenting a product! If you want to see what a real AUTHENTIC 1994 Rangers Messier Cup Jersey looks like, visit my jersey sales sites, I have one listed for sale right now. Again, do not get burned buying this fake garbage! If you are on Ebay and run across fake jerseys, send the scammer an e-mail letting them know that you know their jersey is a fake!


     As always, I hope this lesson has been valuable and will keep people from being ripped off by Ebay scumbags like the ones I have just exposed.
