Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 Why are the NEW authentic Capitals jerseys cheaper then the old Wings ones? What sense does that make? Is it because Wings merch. sells way more so they jack up the prise? Hardly seems fair.... http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?prod...dy_bestsell_img http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?prod...kid=body_rv_txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datsyukonethree 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 I think "Premier" is the new "Replica." Look at the product description. The officially licensed jersey is engineered to duplicate the on-ice team jersey. It has a woven jock tag with alpha sizing on the lower left front, and single layer screen-printed twill personalized name and number heat pressed on the back. Screen-printed lettering? I don't think this is the same as the authentic jerseys will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingfanatic4alltime 32 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 I think its because whoever makes the prices knows the wings jerseys will sell where as the brand new caps jerseys they wanna see how they sell first before they jack up the price. Also there is this website i forget what its called but it has a list of all the NHL jerseys from as far back as the 1920s and on a couple occasions i read that teams changed their minds about the jerseys at the last second so that could be another reason for the low price. I highly recommend checking out that website to all of you its a very good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Yeah you are comparing a Caps Replica to the Wings Authentic... That is the price difference. http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?prod...dy_bestsell_txt Wings replica is only $89 Edited July 15, 2007 by OsGOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) To be honest I'm not hip on these new jerseys by Reebok...I'll take good care of my current collection of Red Wings sweaters so they'll last; I prefer them loose fitting - it isn't football for goodness sake! I plan on gettng the now "old" ones cheap and get them lettered (1 color so they are pretty much cheap in that regards)... that is how I will add to my collection... perhaps in a year or two when the prices drop I will consider a reebok one.... but not now. I tend to like to wait until the initial sticker shock wears off in a year and you can buy the items at a reduced price. My old signed Drake jersey was so destroyed by wearing it so long ago that I now am in need of another one... I am holding out to see what his number will be on here.
