Just a possibility. |
Looking at the teeth, I can see where you're going. Looking at the saddle, it's hard to see how you get from the shape on the right to the one on the left through machining...but certainly not my area.
It reminds me a lot more of counterfeit Chinese sports jersey where none of the colors, shapes, fonts, sizes, or placements are quite right. If someone's wearing one on the street among people wearing other types of clothing, the average Joe may not notice anything amiss. But, if someone is wearing that knock off at a game where most people are wearing the correct versions, even someone that doesn't have clue notices something is different about that one.
