FINALLY the long awaited PK order
Okay after 2 months of waiting, two messages about tracking and asking for the real number, receiving the dreaded rose emoji response, and the inital order being LOST...the replacement order is finally here. Small disclaimer, I'm a Pens fan but I love a good sweater design and I couldnt resist this NY winter classic. So at least most people around me probably won't be able to point out that its a rep.
At first glance, it looks very legit. Though its hard to tell, in comparison to the authentic, the color is for sure wrong. I noticed that a few other reviews on the app pointed that out. Its more of a pale tan-ish color as opposed to the cream/off white of the authentic. I could be wrong but I think all of the blue is just a shade too light. It certainly feels good and the vents are a nice touch, although I think they're supposed to be doubled up rather than a single layer of mesh. I could be wrong, I don't have an actual authentic fanatics, just Adidas, Reebok, CCM. The nameplate looks fine to me and I dont think the front lettering is too small. While the apple patch looks great, the winter classic patch is terrible compared to the real deal. I'm not too surprised there, as its a fairly complex patch to replicate and I think some of the authentic jerseys are screen printed patches. Some minor stitching issues as you can see. All the little details are there and pretty well done, the fight strap is kind of small but that's usually to be expected with reps. No one will see it unless I decide to scrap. We'll see how long that bottom print holds up.
Like I said, the first order was lost and once I noticed on DHlink tracking that it hadn't moved in a while, I let them know and they sent a replacement. All in all, I got what I paid for, the price was right for something cool that I'm just going to wear around town or at bars. Based on the shipping, I don't think I'd order again unless I really find something that I dont mind spending $30 on and waiting for. I'm glad they at least sent a replacement. It would be funny if the first jersey just showed up one day. I'd like to try Jenna once she's back in commission. Overall, not bad for what I paid.
