I bought one at HBC downtown yesterday. The line up wasn't bad...around a 20-minute wait.

Third in line at The Bay downtown...WTF am I doing??? The shelves are full of stock!

Senna: Any red/white/black Canada pompom toques?

Thanks for the updates...I'm standing in the lineup for the Mint. The lineup to touch the medals is 10 hours long and it's 9:30!

We saw the pompom toques on the 5th floor, none in the superstore except for the earflap toques.

The line-up for the mint was 4 people at 5am when I walked past. Then it was a block long at 7:30. Can I come join you in line at around 6pm? Haha....

that's the killer.

10 hour wait!!! Holy geez. I thought I waited a long time (6 hrs)

were the canada hoodies still available by the time you got in?

Looks like the fakes have finally hit the market:

Pardon my ignorance, how do you know they are fakes?

Have you seen the ones that HBC sells...?

Just piping in here:

They look absolutely nothing like the hoodies that everyone is wearing, for one thing. It would be easier to say how these guys don't look like the real things than how they do look like the real things.

None of the real hoodies say "Team" or "Equipe". Canada is written differently on the HBC ones and on the HBC ones, "Canada" is in cloth letters and isn't printed.

If you buy that ebay stuff... well you deserve to be ripped off.

HBC must be making a killing from these apparel.

No kidding! I bet a few execs at HBC are getting a fat bonus cheque at the end of the quarter!

I'm actually pretty glad that the red mittens are sold out since the net proceeds of it go to support the athletes.

Refer to the ones I got you!

:lol

The ones you have are real those are fake. HBC didn't come out with anything that looked like that. And you also look at the pictures of Yzerman with the group of people. They are wearing the real stuff whereas this...Well... Should be pretty obvious to note the differences.

NO I don't think anyone has seen the ones that HBC sells. No one is wearing them and none of the Canadian Athletes are wearing them :rolleyes:

The ones with "CANADA" across the chest? No, they've been sold out for a while now. The manager said they *may* get some in from back east, but not very likely, as they have become really popular, and they are not manufactured anymore. They only had the ones with the maple leaf logo within a large "C". The knitted scarves are all gone too.
