Here's why you will have to pay attention the next time you buy an NHL jersey

That's certainly not what Adidas was looking for.

The German company is facing a lawsuit in Florida for marketing false "authentic" NHL jerseys that are in reality "replicas" according to the plaintiff.

One of the main point of the plaintiff is the difference that he saw between real jerseys worn by NHL players and replicas jerseys. One of them is the neck hole which is much more smaller in the authentic jerseys. Third-party vendors like fanatics.com are selling those jerseys by saying that they are authentic.

Thus, it isn't the case according to the plaintiff.



When we know how much a jersey is, Adidas could be a lot more honest. We'll see where things will go...
