Yeah, that's brutal. ebay is littered with knock-off jerseys. Even on the "better" ones that are as blatantly wrong as that one, a pretty sure sign of a fake is any Edge jersey in size 50 or below.
Here's another ebay store full of counterfeits:

Thanks for the heads up on those MX3s guys. Other than the "printing error", what are some of the other signs we should be looking for to distinguish a fake stick? I understand the MX3 isn't released yet is one but what should we pay attention to on the stick itself?
If your bag has wheels, you don't.

NHL.COM did make authentic EDGE jerseys 1.0 size 46 & 50 but NO size 48...

Just being devils advocate over here Junkyard, but didn't you make sample product for teams that decided not to go with your services? Would those bag hence be fake? Because couldn't that be the case with the bags you listed?
Lets say I have a pair of Bauer gloves with a players name embroidered on them who never wore that glove. Is it fake?
Just wondering.
Actually, we sent all of the bags to the teams, never receiving them back, and, they were never sold (unless the team sold the sample we sent).
If we've received a return, in which we've had in some cases, we've secured the team's OK to sell them in order to recoup our costs, unless they plan on using the same design the following season where we'd then stock them and re-sell them back in. These returns almost always consist of the team asking us to take product back because they ordered too much of it.
In the event that they don't OK the sale of the item, which we've not had, we keep them as samples.
As far as your glove is concerned, that is completely different than what is happening with the bags listed.

How so? Those Seguin Graf gloves that were circulating around here are a prime example. They are obviously made with the intent to try and get Seguin to wear them but he chose not too. How is that not the same with these hockey bags and your product? I wouldn't go calling those gloves fake, not would I call these bags(and yours) fakes either.
I'm not trying to de-rail this thread because it's a good idea. Just trying to see where the line is drawn. Those jerseys and sticks are fakes, no doubt about it. calling the bags counterfeit... though they may not.
I don't see everything on the site, so, not sure of the gloves you refer to. What I do know is that teams often receive product as samples for players, or in my case, other items, from many companies. So GRAF was probably trying to lure Seguin, which isn't unheard of.
The fact is that the Kings are a client, we visit frequently, and those are NOT the bags they use, have used, or have ever ordered.

I'd use this definition:
I would differentiate this from the pro-stock/not pro-stock debate. I'd read this thread as pertaining to sticks coming out of China that aren't made by Bauer, or jerseys coming out of Hong Kong purporting to be "made in Canada Reeboks," not bags that were sent to a team, but never actually used being sold as pro stock. Let's stick to that definition and avoid the muddle that this thread is about to become.

Okay, I hadn't checked out the children's section of NHL.com lately
That being said, when I see a size 50 jersey on ebay, it is usually a bad fake.
LOL !! Yeah, I bought a few 46 when I started out...it never occurred to me back then that I would one day start playing...
50 is probably the most common size for the average non-playing buyer, hence making it a popular choice... there's a TON of these fakes in Montreal, who is known for being one of the biggest cities for buying fake jerseys
