Both of these site are pretty accurate because for this last order, I saw it had gotten to his house, and by that early afternoon, Pizza had sent me a PM that he was sending out the jerseys that same day.Oh, OK, I've been using the EMS website.

Although it seems that no one gave a damn, I figured I'd let everyone know that the jersey is fine now.Went home to check the mail on my lunch break, and my Gretzky throwback had arrived. Thanks again, Pizza!One question for Pizza (or anyone else who was in on Pizza's 2nd order or has ordered a hockey jersey, particularly the Gretzky throwback): did any of the other jerseys smell? This one has a weird, kind of repugnant odor to it. The Brady and Orr jerseys I received previously were fine, but this one kind of smells. It was apparent as soon as I took it out of the box, even while it was still in the plastic. I'm really hoping I won't have to machine wash this... I left it in front of a fan while I went back to work, and I'm hoping that will do the trick.Anyone else have this problem? It's a beautiful jersey (maybe not quite as nice as the Orr, but still very nice nonetheless), but it just smells funny.

Cec, glad to do it. Consider it the smallest payback for what you provide FBGs.got my Dickerson Rams throwback jersey!
I have over 50 jerseys in my collection (authentic, replica, replithentic) and this one is near the top of the list. Not as heavy as an authentic Mitchell & Ness, but 1/10th the cost and amazing quality! I'm LOOKING for flaws and there's nothing other than the weight that is overly noticeable.
Thank you very much Pizza for putting this together, I will most certainly be ordering again!
will post soon
Guess Im getting the Dickerson and a Barry jersey for this next order...Pizza these are amazing quality for the price!!thanks so much budgot my Dickerson Rams throwback jersey!

CE, could you post or email a couple of pictures of your jersey for me, and if you still have one of the vinyl ones, a couple shots of that one also?I asked because I'm seriously wondering what the #### is going on with RBK. I check out my local Champs occasionally to see what they're carrying so I can either a) beat them on price or b) send customers to them if they have something I'm not carrying.ALL of their Penguins jerseys had that crappy vinyl lettering! I didn't think to look at the crests, but seriously, it sounds like you might be getting better quality than RBK itself is putting out! The price tag on these, by the way, was $179.99CDN, so I'm assuming these are the Premier level jerseys I referenced earlier.As an aside, I order my Pittsburghs blank and have them stitched locally. They should be a 3-level stitch on both the nameplate and the number: black/gold/waffle black.The smaller of my 2 shipments arrived today and, according to Mrs. CE, Jessie made good on her promise. Three Penguin jerseys all have the double stitched numbers/letters rather than the fake vinyl ones, and she included my free Fleury jersey to make up for the mistakes on the last order.The rest of my order should arrive tomorrow.
That shows how observant I am. I've had this jersey for over a week, worn it a couple of times, and never noticed that until you just pointed it out.If anyone is thinking of ordering a Carolina Panthers jersey from here think twice before ordering a blue one. I ordered a blue Jonathan Stewart jersey and the shoulders and sleeves were more of Tarheel blue color and the body was Panthers blue.
You got a better deal than me. $5 discount on my next order for getting the wrong size Moss jersey.and she included my free Fleury jersey to make up for the mistakes on the last order.
I sure will. I still have one of the white ones with the vinyl. The three that I have with the good lettering are black. Might not be able to get to that until later in the week though. My day off is Friday, so I should have some time to do that then. BTW, the crests look good even on the ones with the crappy lettering. Nice heavy material and good coloring.As for pricing, I've seen the ones with the cheap lettering/numbers at ****'s for $150 as late as a couple of weeks ago. No way would I pay that for those jerseys.CE, could you post or email a couple of pictures of your jersey for me, and if you still have one of the vinyl ones, a couple shots of that one also?I asked because I'm seriously wondering what the #### is going on with RBK.

1) She sent 3 Penguin jerseys with the cheap vinyl lettering on the first order and I pointed out to her on my order confirmation that I had not ordered those. They were all 3 different stock numbers. I was pretty persistent about it, but always very polite. She initially offered a $10 discount per jersey. I got her to go up to a replacement jersey. 2) I'm clearly a better negotiator than you are.You got a better deal than me. $5 discount on my next order for getting the wrong size Moss jersey.and she included my free Fleury jersey to make up for the mistakes on the last order.
I'll be ordering a Penguins jersey in my next purchase, so I'll have to tell her that I don't want a vinyl one either. I'm also interested in seeing some pics of what you got. I got a San Jose Sharks jersey in the last order and it looks nice. I wasn't really pushing for a discount in my e-mail to Jessie. I just let her know that there was a mixup with the size number on the plastic and the actual size of the jersey. She offered a $5 discount in her reply, but I doubt I'll use it because it's likely to cause more confusion/delays with the next order. I just wanted to point it out to her just in case there were a few others like that.1) She sent 3 Penguin jerseys with the cheap vinyl lettering on the first order and I pointed out to her on my order confirmation that I had not ordered those.

That's actually from a different website. I've gotten e-mails from about 4 different sites since I placed my first order. Not sure if they are affiliated or not. The other sites require a minimum of 10 for an order. The ones sent from "YoYo" and "Amanda" seem to come most often.I sent them an email yesterday asking about kid sized jerseys - received a prompt reply from Jessethat they have nothing for kids under 12. Too bad. Since then I've received a slew of unintelligible marketing emails from them, most of them containing excel attachments I'm terrified to open. Here's the latest:

LOL nice. It is pretty obvious if you put it next to the Steve Smith blue one. Jessie finally emailed me back today. Here is her response:" i have check our other #28 STEWART blue,all of them are the same we ship to you.and we sell lots of this jerseys to our customers,they don't tell me this problem,you can ship to us,and we can refund for you,but you need pay the shipping cost for ship to us" JessieSo apparently all the Stewart jerseys are like that.

That makes sense. I doubt that anyone who has been drinking at a game or sports bar would notice. They look pretty good.Hey guys, now that I have a few more jerseys, I'm starting to think that these are genuine Reebok jerseys that just didn't pass the inspection process. To the untrained eye, most of the "defects" wouldn't even be noticed, but the closer I look, I'm finding things on almost every jersey. My first white Polamalu had a crooked yellow "M" on the 2-colored lettering. The Malkin I just got has a slightly crooked name plate, the Fleury has "2"s on the sleeve that look almost more like "Z"s, the Letang has an "N" that is slightly off, just like my Polamalu. On a second Polamalu in black, the two "L"s in his name both look just a little crooked. My throwback Bradshaw lettering is not cut quite straight and doesn't perfectly match up with the stitching.So I'm starting to think that they aren't bootleg jerseys, I'm thinking they are considered "seconds" or "defects". Not that I'm complaining because, for the price, they are more than worth it.
We received 15 shirts from three sports here - Im 100% confident these aren't defects but are knockoffs, bootlegs, counterfeit - whatever you want to call them. Good enough for me though.Hey guys, now that I have a few more jerseys, I'm starting to think that these are genuine Reebok jerseys that just didn't pass the inspection process.

I don't know, I've now seen 12 jerseys (NFL, NHL, and MLB) and on almost every one I can find something that is subtle but might cause it to fail an inspection process. You might be right, but I'm still not sure.I've got 10 more that should arrive tomorrow (almost all Steeler jerseys) so we'll see how they look.We received 15 shirts from three sports here - Im 100% confident these aren't defects but are knockoffs, bootlegs, counterfeit - whatever you want to call them.

You can justify these purchases however you like for yourself, but they are counterfeits. Google counterfeit jerseys and you will see this. Personally Im not going to pay $200-$300 for an authentic jersey. If they were priced more reasonably I would. But when I can get something that looks decent enough for a fraction of the price Ill go for it.

Good enough for me though.Hey guys, now that I have a few more jerseys, I'm starting to think that these are genuine Reebok jerseys that just didn't pass the inspection process. To the untrained eye, most of the "defects" wouldn't even be noticed, but the closer I look, I'm finding things on almost every jersey. My first white Polamalu had a crooked yellow "M" on the 2-colored lettering. The Malkin I just got has a slightly crooked name plate, the Fleury has "2"s on the sleeve that look almost more like "Z"s, the Letang has an "N" that is slightly off, just like my Polamalu. On a second Polamalu in black, the two "L"s in his name both look just a little crooked. My throwback Bradshaw lettering is not cut quite straight and doesn't perfectly match up with the stitching.So I'm starting to think that they aren't bootleg jerseys, I'm thinking they are considered "seconds" or "defects". Not that I'm complaining because, for the price, they are more than worth it.
