Blues Buyer Beware

PrintSometimes you find sweet items on eBay. Sometimes you find sweet items on eBay that everyone else in the world knows about and then get too expensive. Sometimes you see something on eBay that you think is garbage but you know someone else is about to get duped into buying.
And then sometimes you see stuff like this. Buyer, please please please, beware. Be. Ware.
First off, check out the listing. The description says, seriously, that this is a "USED" jersey. Oh, it's used alright, buddy. Never mind the fact that this jersey went out of use on the ice back in 1998, a full decade before Alexander Steen ever played for the Blues.
Second, I don't want to be too judgemental, but do me a favor, eBay seller, and don't tell me what a "Hockey Babe" looks like. The NHL has enough image issues and though I can guess which person you mean, looking at your picture I'd have to say your picture is a No, No, No, No, Maybe for the five folks in your picture.

does he have two images
photoshopped or two jersey’s?
in either case he hasnt figured out his “point and shot” camera needs to be pointed at something you WANT to shoot, not at the background clutter.
and just why are 3 refugees form the busch stadium overnight campout wandering around the kiel?!?

That can't be the Kiel.
The seats are red. And the permanent handrail is white.
wow
your right, when did bush put up dasher boards?

Steen was 14 years old when that design was retired.
Holy crap, I’m getting old.
This sums up the jersey fairly well

I had half a mind to.....
ask the seller a question….
Why are you a fucking tool trying to sell that piece of fabricated shit???
but then I dont want my ebay privlidges revolked due to one idiot selling the piece of shit and another buying it……
I still maintain Vladimir Konstantinov got what he deserved...If you can't handle that then kiss my ass......
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Holy Jesus...
What is that?
What the FUCK is that?
Baltimore Blast - 6-time MISL/NISL Champions
Let's go Blues!
What the hell is wrong with me??
I actually looked at the other items for sale.
More junk and even more seven year old girls modeling awful clothing.
Why must I subject myself to this?!?!
ps – the guy refers to the sweater as a ‘third jersey’.
That was never a third anything. It, unfortunately, was the road sweater.
Want to really feel old. I had a Post clipping of Shanny modeling that style for ‘next season’.
Was that the photo...
… with CuJo modeling the home white sweater? I think I remember the article.
but it has a great feature you might not have noticed...
and I quote “NO FIGHT STRAP!”
Why this is so enthusiastically emphasized, I have no idea. Especially since I picture the purchaser of this sweater getting in lots of fights in the future.
TOTALLY!!!
Same article and photo. I’ll have to try and find it and post.
…and neither guy got to stay long enough to wear them very long(or at all??)!
HAHA! Thanks for pointing that out.
I did see the “NO FIGHT STRAP!” tag on a couple of that guys sweaters!
Very strange. I just assumed it had to do with notifying people it’s not authentic.
…still, though. It was oddly jubilant.
hence
me thinking (with the backpacks of corse) refugees from a busch stadium campout :) that IS a cards shirt is it not?

On further review...
…that looks like the Carolina Hurricanes’ swirling arsehole logo at the bottom of that guy’s shirt…

Behind the first two rows of seats...
… is what appears to be a second dasher wall. Are there rinks that convert from international to NHL ice?
Nahhhh
That’s a picture from the Carolina Hurricanes’ RBC Center, and I think that’s there to seperate the permanent seats from the bleachers for basketball games (picture!). Props to the seller for probably googling “hockey rink” for his product background.
You're right...
… that wall is present in the building’s hockey layout too.
So an eBay seller from Iowa doesn’t know his mid-90s clown jerseys from his iron-on number sets, and thinks the Blues play in Raleigh. How the hell did this guy come up with Steen’s name? He’d have had a much better chance to push that POS if it said Oshie on it.
could be
looks kinda world championship cards to me with center being the world or divsion series logo and bottom saying champions or whatever, but if it is a canes place that explains a lot
like the color scheme, and how the canes 3 fans are blissfully ignorant of the wtf color combination/stylings of that jersery and the backpacks (cos isnt the arena a hike from civiliztion or was that just the first three they played in while claiming to be from the carolinas) and why hockey babes are your 8 year old nieces

Would it be wrong...
for Conks to wear that along with the funky Blues hat on the bench next season? I think that combo would work.
Christ on a cracker
who’s fucking bid sniping on me? Ya ain’t getting this gem by god, it’s mine.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
Not that
forensic analysis of this photoshopped pic from eBay isn’t fun, but I sure wish hockey season would get here.
If they were going to sell fake merch, at least make the girl attractive.

Why is Sanjay Steen's wife in a Blues jersey?
I though she rooted for the Ganges Ganoosh? No?

That can't be real.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
What idiot is going to pay $37.00 for that piece of crap?
Seriously.
