Hello everyone, and welcome to your weekly update of our favorite jersey fouls from the past seven days. Well, now it’s going to be weekly, starting today.

In case you didn’t know, we’ve been posting a steady stream of fouls to our Tumblr page. You can go there for the ones that didn’t make the cut on this week’s list of absurdity.

In this blog, we give you the three ‘best of the best’ from the week that was, which – even by typical j-foul standards was pretty awesome since last Friday. The playoffs are fertile ground for such photos. How good are these fouls? The one up top of the mustard Stu Grimson Preds McLovin jersey didn't make the official cut. But it was so good we had to give it props anyway.

If you want to submit, make sure to email us at puckdaddyblog@yahoo.com or tweet to the hashtag #jerseyfoul. We’ll pick them up, and try to make sure to give credit where credit is due.

Without further disruption here are the top three fouls of the week.

3. Is this Michael Keaton Vatman or Christian Bale Vatman? (@anaheimducks)

2. Jason Arnott, Capitals legend

OK, so we dipped into a the t-shirt jersey foul category for this spectacular piece. There are many reasons why it is so wonderful. 1. Jason Arnott played 11 games in Washington. 2. During this stint, the Caps made a t-shirt for him. 3. This guy bought the t-shirt jersey. Forget the cover up. It's a foul because it exists and someone still wears it.

1. Crosby almighty (@elwoodjparker)

As we noted on the Tumblr page, this jersey must have been bought circa 2009 when Crosby was loved and revered. Now he’s a disappointment in spite of a Stanley Cup, two Hart Trophies and two gold medals? Regardless, no hockey player is a savior – not even Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel. Oh how the mighty have fallen, but not really far given the fact he was still one of the NHL’s best players this year.
