BOURQUE SKILLS COMPETITION JERSEY:
This is another in the group that came from the Boston area
along with the Bourque A/S road jersey. This is suppose to have been worn by Ray
Bourque in the Skills competition from the Vancouver All Star Game. Well the
patch is not the correct patch, in that its not made right.
Notice that the crest has the wrinkles that we see in Custom Crafted fakes. The Captain's "C" is even wrinkled. There is no visible wear on the inside or outside. I mean real wear, not the pulling that I seen on this jersey. It appeared that someone took a sharp metal object and put pulls in the arms of this jersey. These pulls we see in jersey that are Starter Jerseys. The starter material is different than that of a CCM jersey.
.
The jersey has the proper tagging, which is
normal for a custom crafted special. You can see the wrinkles in the
"C" and Crest in the above photograph. This jersey also had the brown
stains on it just like the Bourque All Star Patch jersey had.
Notice in the white, just
below the numbers, that the jersey has been pulled in this area by a shape
object. You can see this on real jerseys, but when there is no other real wear
on the jersey this is a problem. This jersey had no inside wear and no salt in
the fight strap.
This is the back view of the Bourque Skills jersey. Again notice the wrinkles in the numbers. One other thing I want to do is find the video from the Skills and see if this is the correct Starter logo on this one. Once again this is a authentic replica that's been passed off as a game used
