Sell enough sports equipment online and you'll eventually run into a group of... interesting people who are super interested in well-used jocks, socks, shorts, etc.
Looks like this guy is catering to those folks.
I know a lot more than you about collecting bud, so save the shit

There was that one guy on SLS 2 years ago that was actually buying used jocks.
He would pay $100 for each.
Custom everything.

I nearly bought it. Can you let me know how to spot the differences?

The crest is the most obvious giveaway. Collar looks wonky. Assuming that’s a fight strap on the rear, it’s in the wrong location.
I would like to see higher res photos as this is the first knockoff I’ve seen. No idea why this would even be a knockoff? The Devils and not a player? Seems pointless

The funny thing is if he wrote MIC in the description, he wouldn't be lying lol
So true

1. The main crest on the fake is twill that is sewn on. The font/kerning is very poor and the Devils logo is wonky as well. Real Adidas practice jerseys have the rubbery material that is pressed on.
2. On the fake, the Adidas logos are embroidered directly into the jersey & they're crooked as well. The real jerseys have an Adidas patch that is sewn on.
3. The fabric of the jersey is the cheap fabric that knockoffs are often made of. For jersey collectors, it's very easy to spot. The dimpled fabric on the shoulders is also a lot thinner and much less pronounced than on real jerseys.
4. The three Adidas stripes are unevenly spaced apart. The three stripes is Adidas' main trademark and the stripes always evenly spread out.
5. The fight strap on the fake is a dinky little square. The real fight straps are rectangular and have multiple layers of sewn twill.
I'm glad to see you didn't buy it! If this jersey was used, it'd last a few ice sessions before it started tearing apart. It would probably rip in one or two cycles in a washing machine.
