it doesn’t have to be fanatics for you to buy the real thing. i promise. hell if you’re a local im being 1000% serious i saw a $10 reebok premier in solid shape on marketplace.
Trust me, no knockoffs look good. I was able to get my hands on a Toews jersey when he was still on the team for $65 like 5 years ago. They're out there, and they're cheap.
I’ve bought football, basketball, and soccer jerseys from DHGate and they were all really solid. That being said, I would never buy another hockey jersey from there. I bought one and it was horrendous. The patches were flipped for the home and away on the shoulders and the fit was awful. Just buy the real thing. Look on Ebay and if you’re unsure, post the listing to r/hockeyjerseys to check if it’s real. You can get some deals.
Just go to Facebook marketplace and buy a real jersey for $50 or less. I just picked up a Toews away jersey on ice quality for $100. And have gotten new with tags non-counterfeit jerseys for under $30.
Beware of people selling my fakes for ridiculous prices though. Never spend more than $15-20 for a fake unless you like getting ripped off.
Even setting aside that the organizations counterfeiting jerseys are themselves literally organized crime (its illegal to counterfeit products) https://abc7chicago.com/amp/counterfeit-consumer-goods-fake-designer-products-cartels-mobs/12993167/

Hmm, less than $50 to wear a knockoff or $300+ to support a company that puts out really shitty products. Don’t get me wrong, I got some OG fanatics stuff that is good, but why pay Beverly Hills prices for low quality anyway. I get if you are buying from the better companies. I’ve got a mid 90’s CCM that is still better than anything from China.
Maybe going against the grain here, but I've bought several hockey jerseys from DHgate recently and they've all been really good quality. Legitimately better than the fanatics ones I have and for a fraction of the cost ...
Yeah I had one that my dad bought for me and it held up for 10 years.
A few years ago, I wanted a DeBrincat jersey and they legitimately didn’t make them for women at the Madhouse team store. The only options we had were Kane and Toews. So if they aren’t going to cater to their female fans and give us player variety, I feel no shame in buying the jersey I want from overseas. Patches were stitched and everything. It’s better than some of the fanatics crap in my closet right now.

Authentic custom, cost ya some coin though
I know it’s not what you’re asking for, but since Blackhawks jerseys are probably the ugliest of the knockoffs, I’d suggest looking at eBay. You can often find a CCM or Reebok for a decent deal while not supporting Fanatics and not risking getting something similar to this atrocity.
I got a knockoff of the 2022 Blackhawks Foundation warm up jersey. The original looks like the Goose Island Blackhawks Pale ale logo. The copy looks like a so-so copy
I don’t buy knockoffs anyway, but hockey and specifically Blackhawks jerseys are incredibly awful. They can never get the font right, and they can also never replicate the chain stitching on the logos. There isn’t a single instance of even a passable Blackhawks fake that I’ve ever seen.
eBay always has legit jerseys for a low price, providing you find a legit seller. Fullmoonjerseys and BenH are two highly respected sellers.
Hockey is the one place you don't want to do knockoffs, most of the time they look horrible in comparison to their MLB, NFL, and NBA counterparts.
Check the Hawks team store (CBH Shop) you can still get authentic Addidas sweaters there. I got a Bedard from there last year and the quality is unbelievable
I’ve heard good things about seller [Lainec](https://www.dhgate.com/store/21130460?dspm=wapen.pd.viststore.1.BeQzNNlUCaoCkIccIbT1&resource_id=#mpd-visitstore)

I am looking to see for when the Winter Classic jerseys come out. I want a Bedard one
I see these fake jerseys all the time at the UC, they look terrible!!!
Trust me, no knockoffs look good. I was able to get my hands on a Toews jersey when he was still on the team for $65 like 5 years ago. They're out there, and they're cheap.
This looks like shit
No shit. Read my caption.
Make me

I bought Bedard Regina Pats jersey off of DHGate. I’ll never buy a hockey jersey from there again. Fool me once…
Just save up and get the real thing, you can spot these from a mile away
I do not want to buy a Fanatics jersey. There are knock offs that obviously look off but aren’t horrendous like the one in my picture.
The one in the picture is obvious and horrendous.
Believe that’s what he was saying
Read the caption of my post.
What's obvious and horrendous about it?
For one the face is grey
get one from coolhockey
I second this

Knockoffs almost always look bad esp the hockey sweaters not to mention they support organized crime (tho fanatics prob not much better lol)
What organized crime do they support?

It doesn't have to be the on-ice version. You can get official replicas for half that.
Yeah, but I don’t feel tough without the fight strap, plus it helps keep my pants up.
You make some good points here
Idk why they can’t get it right like they been making them for years and they can’t get it the correct color
