Jersey Fouls is our ongoing exploration of the rules and etiquette for proper hockey jersey creation and exhibition. If you spot what you think may be a foul in your arena, email a photo to us at puckdaddyblog@yahoo.com for inclusion in future installment.

Well, it’s been that kind of season for the Vancouver Canucks, hasn’t it?

From reader Paul Nielson:

Saw this one at the Canucks vs. Wild game. Definitely a foul, but a damn funny and appropriate one considering the city's fickle fanbase and history as a goalie graveyard.

Just wait until the playoffs; he might need to order out for more fabric.

This, by the way, is also a perfect representation of Mike Gillis’s cocktail napkin as he attempts to figure out what to do at the trade deadline.

And here … we … go.

This is … well, a Boston Bruins sweater. In every sense of the word.

From David Jorgenson:

Not sure what to say about this one, I took this pic in the beer line at a Sabres/Bruins game. The jersey is knit. Out of yarn.

A lot of yarn, apparently. This cuddly creation is actually not a Foul, per se, because it’s not besmirching an actual jersey. It’s an original creation, much like the infamous chain mail jersey that San Jose Sharks fan created.

This is the D.I.Y. Non-Jersey Foul exception, and shall be applied here.

Reader Andrew Allen is rather perplexed buy this Colorado Avalanche jersey:

I saw this jersey on ebay. I thought it was an Adam Foote jersey, then I clicked the second photo. I guess they didn't think having Foote's name on the jersey was awesome enough.

Clearly not, although having Adam Foote’s name on your jersey obviously implies awesome. (Not applicable to Columbus, Ohio, and parts of Quebec City.)

Not sure what the auction price for this jersey was, but we imagine it was more than the nameplate cost, what with the missing ‘E’ and ‘O’ and other ‘E’.

Is this an S.O.S. from a vexed Alex Ovechkin fan?

From reader Arian (@afgbruins21):

Spotted this upside down and backwards nameplate on an Ovechkin jersey at Verizon for Caps/Panthers. Maybe he made it himself and something went wrong? Who knows what he was trying to accomplish here.

This is an interesting theory. It is possible this was sown on while looking into a mirror, and because he’s No. 8 he didn’t notice it was backwards?
