Counterfeiters trying to cash in on Jets craze,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Winnipeg Jets fans line up in the team's store "Jets Gear" in the MTS Centre to purchase licensed apparel. No jerseys have been made available yet by the team because the design is not yet completed. (Wayne Glowacki/Winnipeg Free Press/The Canadian Press)When the Winnipeg Jets unveiled their new logo two weeks ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they expected to encounter copy cats.
They didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Counterfeit jerseys have leaked onto the market nearly a month before True North Sports and Entertainment plans to unveil the new uniforms for their prized franchise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Club officials,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and retailers selling officially licensed gear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are concerned about losing sales to the counterfeiters.
"Obviously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's going to be a popular jersey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and popular product,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Gerald Haasbeek,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the independent owner of Royal Sports, to the Winnipeg Sun. One imitator is even offering to swap a pair of jerseys for a couple of Toronto Maple Leafs tickets.
The Jets official merchandise store located in the MTS Centre grossed nearly $200,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 in its first weekend of operation. It sold out almost the entire store.
Scott Brown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], communications director for the Jets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says the team will be active in handling the situation and educating consumers in cooperation with the independent retailers.
"We have been very careful to warn the consumers about dealing with people on the secondary market," said Brown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to the Winnipeg Free Press. "Whether it's in tickets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], merchandise, anything to do with buying something."
Hockey Night In Radio host Gord Stellick predicts Steven Stamkos merits the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP for a 60-goal season and Erik Karlsson will win Norris Trophy as top defenceman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. We want your take on the big game in New Orleans.
