The one on the right looks like what I bought in the team store.

The left one is fake for sure. The color is far too light

I’d say 90%+ of this style jersey that I see at Capital One are fake. The first one is 100% fake. The second one could be legit but it’s hard to tell from the photo.

Left is fake but one on the right looks good 👍

The Wilson one on the right is a legit Premier replica. I will say though the customization looks incorrect from the grainy zoom in I did, the white part of the numbers should be felt and not twill. The Ovi one is 100% fake, fonts are too wide, color too light, neck tag looks sloppy and logo is bubbly.

These jerseys were like the fancy $100 bill of fake jerseys. No one could get them exactly right and all wrong in their own special way.

Probably the most faked sweater i’ve seen. In this picture, the right one looks alright.

Atlanta vibes, you’ll never know which one is real

The left is fake. Color and fabric aside, the NHL logo on the neck is way off. The tag is also a giveaway as it uses the “vector” Reebok logo that Reebok phased out in the 2011-12 season.
The right looks legit though, as others have noted, it’s tough to tell if it has the correct felt customization. The 2015 Winter Classics I got from SportsK have felt; the one a friend got from CoolHockey does not.

Left is fake. I have the one on the right, had to buy the iron on patch separate.
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve seen rock the knock offs I’ve seen of this jersey. I get that people might not want to spend so much on them, but if you’re paying all that money for the tickets to go to the game, surely you can splurge for a real “replica” lol

Left is clearly fake.

Define fake. If neither is an actual sweater worn by a player, then presumably both are replica. Since replica sweaters vary in quality and construction, neither is technically fake.
I had both. Got the one on the left early and was actually looking for a knock off since I only planned on wearing it to the WC game. When I got it and realized the color was off, I gave one away to a friend (bought 2, one for me and one for my gf at the time). I used the other one as a work jersey, while working in a hardware store during playoffs.
I then went out and got 2 of the ones on the right for the game, and I was not a fan of the fuzzy numbering on the back, made Backstrom’s signature illegible. Sadly the one on the left has more stitching and came with the patch.

Left is 100% fake. Right is legit, but the custo on it looks like it could be wrong. The white on the numbers looks like they’re twill when the white is supposed to be felt. Who knows I might just be blind and can’t tell the difference, but that’s just how it looked to me with what I can see. Here is a photo I took a while ago with my Edge 2.0 which the one on the left is emulating and my old retail that I sold on the right for comparison

UPDATE: Plenty of down votes but was I wrong? No. The OP apparently was asking if the sweater was [bootleg](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bootleg), not “fake”.
