Knock-off Jerseys

Last night New Jersey was knocked out of the playoffs (I picked McAmmond to lead them to victory in the UB Challenge!).

This morning we have several stories concerning knock-off jerseys (Faceoff, Puck Daddy, and Montreal Canadiens). However, I don't know if this is really an issue. The NHL has plenty of money. For instance, I refuse to pay full price for a new Martin Haulat jersey (available here):



Does this make me cheap? Is correct spelling worth the extra $150? Perhaps, but the UB salaries are cut at the end of the regular season and we are all struggling to get by on our playoff bonuses. We can't afford the high-end jerseys.

Note, at the risk of hypocrisy, we ask that you don't buy knock-off Unassisted Biscuit gear - as modeled here (as you can see we are collecting empties for refunds...).
