nope he would just ban deletebthe post. The group admin is the poster who has been selling the fakes.

i have 4 profiles on the group, i may post to see how fast its deleted, id message the buyer if i knew who it was.

Have you actually talked with him privately about the items?   Or do you just effectively call him a liar on other forums?   Everything I have gotten from him has been as represented and legit.  

 

Looks like JSA might be a bit behind in updating their database.  Got the response almost immediately from JSA on this.

Is that what this site devolved into, slander without hearing from the other side.  Just because you think you know everything about everything.  I think you should take down your statements and apologize.  Bragging about how many profiles you troll with is not a good look.  The market is flooded with Chinese crap and fakes yes.  But do some responsible investigating before you trash people, especially when you are doing behind their back.

I know this isn't really NHL related, but I thought I'd share with you my new website here instead of the ghost town college section: http://sioux-jersey.com

Basically, the short story is that I wanted to create an online Encyclopedia of all the details and nuances of every North Dakota Fighting Sioux jersey ever worn. It's going to be a lot of work, but I thought I'd make it interesting by doing a blog piece for every new Encyclopedia entry. I just "launched" my site with Sioux fans earlier today with the posting of my first Encyclopedia entry, a 1995-2001 road Sioux jersey. Check out the blog for a good read on the jersey and era it was worn, and/or check out the Encyclopedia page for more jersey-specific details. I am also going to have a "Collect" section that chronicles each game-worn jersey out there (unrealistic goal, but I want as many as possible). Hopefully it becomes a little learning and trading center on the web for Sioux jerseys.

I also have a Buy/Sell section which I have posted a Matt Greene (former Sioux) game-worn Oilers jersey for a decent price.

If you want immediate updates, follow the site on Twitter @SiouxJersey.

Thanks for looking, and if you have any comments or suggestions, I'd like to hear your thoughts. The site is still going through a ton of changes as I've had it running for less than a week, but made good enough progress to share.

From my understanding the guy who ran it (good guy by the way) just got busy with stuff. His handle on here is Big A HG, not sure if he visits SS that much anymore.

Yeah. He said it got to be too much. He talked about bringing it back but said he lost all content that was on it, so he’d have to start from scratch.

Allow me to state this once, simply, clearly: 

Bringing a spat or disagreement from another site to this site is not acceptable.
It will be considered thread hijacking per the forum guidelines and will have consequences. 

 

My apologies for not being here to cap things like this off earlier.

Must be in reference to the FB stuff.

Sioux-jersey.com....

I originally built the site for some friends and myself.  We were struggling with a way of organizing all the jersey info that we wanted to be able to quickly recall.  The site in its state that it was in wasn't too terrible to manage.  I had already put in most of the hard work of creating so much content for it after spending hours and hours researching.  Most of the actual work was done by me in the end I suppose, but I had a lot of help along the way as well...particularly from a good friend of mine (hey Tim!) who made it fun and kept me going.  The site would never have gotten that far without him and definitely many others as well.

There were two reasons it got deleted...neither of which were because I didn't want a site.  I really wanted to keep it going.  The first reason I deleted it was I wanted to make it better.  I have pretty high standards for projects like that, and I felt it was in need of a makeover with more content.  The vision was ultimately an entire history of Sioux hockey, not just jersey-related.  The second big reason I deleted it was because the site was built using Flash.  It was great to get the site off the ground, but was limited in its future.  Apple was dropping support for all flash websites, and flash has slowly been dying, or is dead already.  I was ready to rebuild in HTML5 and integrate all the cool new information that I wanted to incorporate to flesh out the idea of making it all-encompassing Fighting Sioux hockey history.  But, I was struggling to really get motivated to do it.  One day, in hopes of inspiring me to rebuild, I just decided to delete it.  That was that.  I may have tinkered for a bit to get it going again the way I wanted, but ultimately ran out of desire.  

In the end, things like family, career, and getting burnt out of Sioux hockey jerseys all are some reasons I haven't gone back.  Despite all the people who fondly remember the site, I remember seeing the analytics, and outside of the tournament held to determine the best Sioux jersey of all-time, the views didn't justify the work (the site never had an ad and I never made a penny from it....I covered all expenses from day 1).  Then, in the end, having done so much work recreating old logos and artwork, only to have it end up on mass-produced, counterfeit, Chinese junk, I really don't think you'll see it again.

 

I'll always look back on the project fondly.  I learned a lot, made a lot of fun friends, and had some great opportunities like working endlessly on the REA Jersey Hall for virtually no pay.  I still have [almost] all of the content from the website saved, so never say never!

So I’m going to finally customize my two black Reebok Sioux era jerseys...with the WCHA patch on the butt, not the left chest.  Any nominations for numbers and names for the back?  I’d like #5 and GENOWAY, but hate having a C on the front of the jersey.  Any jersey aficionados want to help me out?

Those two are high on the list.

When did they switch over to that Reebok set?  Thinking maybe a sophomore GENOWAY could help me avoid the C patch.

I think he was Captain the first year of the Reebok jerseys, (green numbers).

This is just an general Jersey question:  For those of you who dabble more than myself, what brand/websites are best to purchase from for new college/pro hockey jerseys? 

Thanks

For pro, shop.nhl.com would be the safest place to ensure authenticity.  Each team typically has a team store with both physical and online stores.  You might find some occasional bargains at major retailers, who are generally going to be stocking legit stuff, but don't expect to see significant markdowns for current jerseys.

You'll be rolling the dice with online sellers such as eBay and Amazon.  If it's really cheap, and seems too good to be true, it's probably counterfeit.

For college, you can visit each school's bookstore online (as well as athletic departments that have separate pages), but beware that D1 hockey is not as big of a deal in most places as it is at UND, so some items will be hard to find/non-existent.  Conference home pages will also have shopping links in many cases.
