OldFaithfulCap Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I really found their gear to be a lot worse than adidas. https://www.nhl.com/news/fanatics-to-become-nhl-official-on-ice-uniform-outfitter-in-2024-25/c-342481582 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 During WCE days, when you buy an authentic jersey it was made in Canada and had a higher price tag, and all patches and numbers stitched. Now you buy an authentic jersey, still with the higher price tag, but they are not as well made and you get numbers ironed on instead of stitching. Recently at Canucks store, they charged me extra $80 to have my retro jersey to have EP40 stitched on instead of heat pressed. Even those 50 anniversary patch were just ironed on when you pay for an "authentic" jersey. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I see a lot of complaints about Fanatics, but from my own experience, I'm quite happy with the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I have never purchased any Fanatics gear because I found it to be of low quality. I just could bring myself to spend that much money on crap merchandise. My guess is that isn't going to change under this new deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginator Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Yikes... The NHL really couldn't get a better deal from a company that produces higher quality? I'm sure fanatics will step up their game from the on ice product, but I won't be buying what they're selling to fans. Probably going to be the same crap they make now but at a $300 price tag. No thanks! I'll be buying an Adidas jersey before the change for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I thought it was predictable that fanatics was taking over. Fanatics has been in the fan apparel game for some years now and I had a feeling as soon as addidas was out they'd swoop in. The fan jerseys are ok, but I hope they fix them up real nice. Too bad the best I can do is get a fanatics blue jackets Bedard jersey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubik Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 So now that a new jersey manufacturer takes over, do the Canucks move on from the Orca to the Skates full time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe revisit the program in 15-25 years let some new designs happen before revisiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 My 2 Cents I have a few jerseys and a couple are fanatics, I don't find the quality to be all that bad. They are not as nice as Adidas or Reebok, but they're not terrible either. I'll hold judgement to see if they up the quality to that of Reebok and Adidas with the new deal.

Fanuck Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I don't get it, covid blip notwithstanding the NHL is generating more profit than they ever had. Franchises formerly worth less than some Okanagan real estate properties are now approaching a billion dollars in valuation, yet the NHL still cannot convince a MAJOR global sporting goods manufacturer like Nike/Adidas that it's good business to partner with them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 From what I understand, they have a history of making poor-quality gear. Bit of a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
