With so many sellers offering Russian Hockey Jerseys these days, it is hard for the first time and even the second time buyer to know what is real and what is a fake. I hope after reading this, you will be educated in what to look for when shopping for that Russian Hockey Jersey. FIRST: Only Lutch and KAIT make the authentic Russian Hockey Jerseys, NOT CCM, NOT BAUER, NOT PROJOY, NOT STARTER and not that no name jersey that we are all seeing on the auctions. KAIT does not sell to the public, but the teams do sell these jerseys so most KAIT jerseys you see will be Gamers or team issued. SECOND: Authentic Russian Hockey jerseys do not have the names and numbers heat pressed on the back and sleeves with those shiny looking letters and numbers. Authentic Russian Hockey jerseys use Dye sublimation, not heat pressed or silk screened. See a silk screened or a set of shiny names and numbers, that is 100% FAKE junk. THIRD: Authentic Russian Hockey Jerseys have the Russian Hockey Federation Logo sewn in the collar and on the back hem-You see a jersey that does not have the RHF tag, it is a FAKE.

Buy from an established seller, check out the sellers feedback, email the sellers customers, email the seller and ask questions, like who made the jersey?, What is the material made of? How are the letters and numbers put on? Does it have a Russian Hockey Federation Logo on it? Who made the jersey?

Just a few pointers that may prevent you from being burned by a seller of junk jerseys. These sellers don't want you to know these things and they are counting on you not knowing what to look for, so now you know
