Kumquats Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Obviously a fake, send it to me and I'll get rid of it for you. No charge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawkdrummer Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The numbers on the shoulders look incorrect. I believe they should be gold not black? However it's a flying V and still a cool looking vintage repro jersey. I've got a 'Mitchell and Ness' Flying V "Tiger Williams" in the away black (amongst others in my collectiion). Wait, I just checked and I maybe wrong, use this link and study for yourself but it appears for one year (1981/82) the shoulder numbers may of been used with the black fill instead of gold.... http://www.nhlunifor...ks/Canucks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdean10 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 hmm yeah, you might be right there.. about the shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's a process Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah the only thing I would question is the colour of the numbers on the shoulders. Everything else looks good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 A quick Google search will show you it's not quite right, but the nhluniforms link above details it pretty clearly. The yellow jerseys did use black numbers for a time, but only had those numbers at the bottom of the sleeve and the nameplate in those years were one colour without any accenting outline. When they switched the numbers up to the shoulder, they changed them to yellow and that's when the nameplate lettering got the orange outline as well. Take a look at the '81-'82 jerseys versus the '82-'85 jerseys and you'll see what I mean: So, the jersey might not be a fake per say, but the numbering and lettering isn't authentic for a couple of reasons and was probably put on after if the jersey's good. It's too hard to tell with the rest to know though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
