New NHL Jerseys by Fanatics Now Available for Purchase
The NHL’s long-standing partnership with Adidas for on-ice jerseys has come to an end, opening the door for a new collaboration with Fanatics. This shift marks a significant change in the production and distribution of NHL jerseys, with Fanatics taking the reins for the next decade.
The transition to Fanatics has sparked discussions among fans and industry insiders, particularly regarding the pricing and quality of the new jerseys. While some have expressed reservations about Fanatics’ track record in producing sports apparel, the company has introduced a range of jersey options for fans to choose from this season.
One of the key highlights of the new lineup is the Fanatics Authentic Pro jersey, priced at $425 USD or $500 CDN. These jerseys are manufactured in Canada at the same factory where the league’s jerseys have been produced for the past 50 years. Designed as authentic pro-style jerseys, they mirror the ones worn by NHL players like Nick Suzuki, Patrik Laine, and Sam Montembeault on the ice.
For fans seeking a lighter and more comfortable option, the Fanatics Premium jersey is available for $180 USD or $200 CDN. These jerseys feature logos and patches sewn on, providing a high-quality alternative to the on-ice jerseys.
Those looking for a budget-friendly choice can opt for the Fanatics Breakaway jersey, priced at $135 USD or $160 CDN. This style offers a more affordable option compared to the authentic jerseys and has been a popular choice among fans for several seasons.
In a unique move, Fanatics has also introduced the Fanatics Practice jersey, priced at $120 USD or $190 CDN. This marks the first time practice jerseys have been made available to the general public, catering to the growing interest in collecting niche jersey styles.
Fans can purchase these jerseys from various outlets, including the Canadiens team store, NHLShop.com, NHLShop.ca, Fanatics.com, Fanatics.ca, the NHL Store in New York City, and authorized local retailers.
The collaboration between the NHL and Fanatics represents a new chapter in the world of hockey jerseys, offering fans a diverse range of options to show their support for their favorite teams. With the introduction of different jersey styles and price points, fans have more choices than ever before when it comes to displaying their team pride on game day.
