Just be wary should the seller be shipping the item from China, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.  

Thanks. If I've learned nothing else from this forum, it's definitely been that!

I mentioned it above, but I typically vet the sellers by if their feedback and/or what else they've sold. It seems like the people selling counterfeit jerseys are primarily doing jerseys. Whereas other guys like this seem to be selling stuff that were legitimately made by the brand for a school. But @southpaw was able to give me a name for it "trial jersey" and "sample sale". So these items are sort of in that gray area in between.

Well, I'm no @southpaw , but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.  It's a sales pitch to the school and/or team and they'd best be prepared to have some actual samples of jerseys rather than drawings.  I believe he's correct in saying that this is a 'rejected' design.  It's pretty cool, but I'm glad that it wasn't chosen as THE actual jersey.

Hopefully someone in Grand Forks doesn't buy the version with the full hawk logo on the front -- he or she is likely to be tarred and feathered outside of REA if they're seen wearing it inside the rink.  

Thought maybe stale diet coke and cotton candy would be more fitting.

My tar pot is so heavy to tote around.

I think that already happened:

so I messaged the seller:

"Hi, 

Thanks so much for the jersey. I am really happy with it. 

I did have a question though. I know that the University of North Dakota is switching to Adidas for this year for ice hockey and none of the jerseys have yet been released (as far as I know). Do you work or sell Adidas products? was this a mockup created by Adidas for a potential North Dakota jersey? I was talking to my friend who is anxiously awaiting to see what the on-ice versions are going to look like next year. Thought you might know!

Thanks so much!

-Joe"

 

His lengthy response:

"Glad your happy with it! 

Sent from my iPhone"

 

I tried another response. We'll see what he says:

"Hi again, 

Yeah, it's great. 

Do you know the story for the jersey? Is this what Adidas is going to be making this year for the team or was this a concept piece as North Dakota transitions to Adidas? 

Thanks. 

-Joe"

 

So I'm not sure how I feel about his response. I still think he's probably in the distribution line for Adidas or something and this was likely a concept piece that Adidas made for UND. OR he's a counterfeiter of Adidas stuff and doesn't want to admit to it? But he's got a lot of Arizona State and other Adidas items such as t-shirts, which I'm not sure are counterfeited like jerseys. I would guess that the margins are too slim on items like t-shirts to make it worthwhile to counterfeiters. 

FYI, the last response to this was: " I don’t really know. It’s for fall 2019 that’s  all I have. 


Sent from my iPhone"

 

Presumably as mentioned, this person probably bought straight from Adidas and it was some sort of sample/trial. Happy enough for $45. We'll see what the actual jerseys look like eventually I guess.

Good point but it's on a very large jersey. Not sure if they have different Crest sizes for different jersey sizes. (Also an old jersey). @MafiaMan, any thoughts?

We have a 2Xl K1 jersey and that logo looks way smaller. I would be cautious.

They do not have larger crest sizes for larger jerseys any more than they have larger number kits or different-sized lettering on nameplates.  

I gave this a good once-over and am 99% certain that this item is an “authentic” K1 replica.

I have my doubts that it's a Koronis considering the K1 logo. Again, based on the K1 logo it's probably an older jersey than this.

I should have said K1, not Koronis.  My post has been edited.

Is it legit? Seriously interested but I need a second opinion

Edit: the k1 logo on the Jersey is an old one. Most of that style of Jersey for sale are from later, but k1 used that logo at least up until 2004

It is a 100% legit replica jersey made by K1. Nothing wrong with it and for 100 bucks, its not a bad deal

Has anyone here ever picked up a sweater from Da Beauty League?? If so, need deets. Looking to pick one up after this season. Or if you have one of a UND alum, I’m interested.

Real or fake?

110% fake. logo is puffed out, strips on the jersey are inaccurate. the word "sioux" is too big and the neck colors are off. probably not even good toilet paper
