Korean Starter Devils jersey with a different collar and crest... yay or nay?
This is a legit Korean Starter replica jersey. However, Starter was known for occasionally making little changes here and there to the designs, and this one definitely has a couple of noticeable differences. The collar is completely different, and the crest is missing its white outline.
To be honest, I actually think this looks even better than the official design, but I'm curious what everyone else (especially Devils fans) thinks.
So what's your opinion? Would you pay 44 bucks for this, or is this such a big jersey foul that you wouldn't touch it? I'm not a Devils fan, but I dig this look so much that I'm seriously considering buying it.
Buying that version for under 50 bucks is totally worth it! I do I do like it better than the original because there's less white threading plus I noticed the starter is in Black instead of white on the back of the Jersey! Great find! I found this early '90s Devils Jersey made in New Jersey!
Brother, this is not real, I don’t know what to tell you. The circle around the devils logo never looked like that. There’s always been a white outline around the logo on the red jersey
Edit: I had a starter jersey in the 90s. It had the actual logo not whatever this is
"Starter did make replica fashion jerseys in designs which were different from what was worn on-ice. I don’t know why they would make one that looked almost exactly like the on-ice one except for a couple of small details, but I will say that the construction of the jersey absolutely looks like a legit Starter. Correct fabrics, tagging, brand logos, etc., everything checks out. So I’m sure this product did come from the Starter factories, but whether someone there intended to design a fashion jersey and just didn’t try very hard, or some dumbshit just put the wrong collar on, I don’t know."
Also, a while back I found a Sharks jersey with a slightly different look, and this is what the very same person (kind of an expert on the subject) had to say about it:
"Legit replica. Yes, Starter sometimes took liberties with their replicas by altering some features to look different compared to the on-ice versions. I could understand this particular one, since Starter did not make Sharks authentics, but they messed around even with the Phoenix 3rds (a Starter team), with the added purple striping and wrong collar colors"

For $44, it's prolly worth it, tho everyone is going to assume it's a total fake.
