buying NHL jersey

LFADAM · Posted: Feb 25, 2010 7:48 am Post subject: buying NHL jersey

2 questions-

A.what size should I get, L or XL (50 or 52)? Im 6'3" with relatively long arms about 190 lbs but I want it to be on the big side because a.)Id rather have it loose than tight and b.)if I want to wakeboard in it I have to fit a vest underneath.

B. Found what looks like a good deal, but does it seem legit? Seller claims to have paypal buyer protection and has great ebay rating but the whole not speaking/spelling well in english freaks me out a little, and the price being so cheap...opinions? Here is the ebay link-

and here is the link from their site (even cheaper)-

So what size is your chest?

I don't have any pro model jerseys to compare to, but long sleeves (too long) are terribly annoying. Also, wearing a poncho is annoying. The L is probably big enough.

I would go with a large. That is what I always wear to fit over my pads though I am 5'10''.

Go with the XL I have many of these, friends have some too and these knock-off jerseys are always on the small side. Personally I am around 5'9 160 and the XL fits me snugly with shoulder pads on, a L is good to wear to around.

With my gear on I need a new style XL, I am 6'1". Without gear I would still prefer an XL over an L, because baggy is better IMO.

Cheap Jersey's but hard to get in the stupid website for some reason.

Hollywood, dont know what my chest size is...if it helps I usually wear L short sleeve shirts because I like them tighter, but always get XL long sleeve shirts/hoodies because I like them loose and they fit well. Loose but sleeves arent covering my hands or anything.

Seems to be conflicting opinions on L vs. XL...still open to more opinions but Im probably leaning towards XL for previously stated reasons.

As for the second question, I looked at jerseymall2008.com but they dont have any canes jerseys so that isnt an option. Any opinions on the links I posted? With paypal protection am I safe if I either dont get the jersey or it is a paper machete POS with ketchup ink? They claim sewn on patches and that it is an official reebok product. I realize its not an authentic game jersey (I dont have 300 dollars to spend on a jersey) but if its a respectable replica, im very interested.

I was wondering why your wanting to ride in it too Laughing

TnR6Rida, chavez, jt09, with the canes doing as bad as they have this season, might as well wear it on the water because Im sure not going to be wearing it on gamedays during the playoffs. Laughing
