That new jersey to New Jersey transition was smooth as ice, Shannon.

[@JoeHockey-Flyers]

Yup, that was slick.

[@JPS47]

It would have been better if he was wearing the Jersey jersey.

[@JtJg1915]

Just an FYI Nemec was in group 1 Thursday per Amanda Stein on Twitter. He hasn’t missed any camp. He is 1 of 3 or so players being held out of Sunday game as a precaution due to recent injuries

[@Niccals-sk3vf]

Based on my past experiences with Fanatics, I would greet the alleged quality of the premium jerseys with skepticism; especially given the discrepancy in price between premium and authentic.

Yes, sir. Well put.

Glad to hear Cotter is turning some heads in NJ. As a VGK fan, he was always a very underrated player who seemed like he wasn't given enough of an opportunity. If he can improve his puck control and balance, he could be a solid top 9 forward for the Devils.

[@TomP-nw4wu]

[@nickfenton2334]

Let's face it. Lehner's done. He hasn't played a single game now in about 2.5 years at this point. I don't see him coming back after this.

[@666kingdrummer]

He's also sounding like a locker room cancer.

[@Sharlez123]

Plus he seems like a nutjob

If you needed a New Jersey jersey for the new jersey video, you definitely should have gone with the 'Jersey' New Jersey jersey.

[@peterolbrisch8970]

Welcome back Kotter. Someone had to say it.

[@donkeysaurusrex7881]

have they ever made an alternate Pittsburgh Penguins Christmas jersey where the penguin is wearing a festive hat?

[@f.n04]

Not horrible considering its Fanatics

[@yoholmes273]

"Who the F is Paul Cotter?" - Every NJ Devils fan once he was traded for Holtz & Schmid.

[@bbeaup]

Watch the logo and lettering crack on the fanatics jersey after one wash just like their shirts.

[@otakumusprime7745]

I think the new jerseys look pretty slick. Seems like they have more options for players which is really nice (for Dallas I think they only had Seguin and Benn in Adidas jerseys, but now they also have premium jerseys for Oettinger, Hintz, Robertson, Johnston, and I even saw Harley at the Stars store). Practice jersey is tempting. Weird thing I noticed was for the authentics, they use a very similar image to the youth jerseys (taken front on and not at an angle like the premium or breakaway).

[@ISUCKATANYOFTHIS]

@otakumusprime7745 that's crazy to think about considering I snagged a Ben Bishop jersey back in 2019

[@duckypuckluck]

Thanks for the info as always Shannon!

[@aussiekid3588]

The $500 on ice authentic wiil be awesome to own, until you spill some ketchup or mustsrd on it.

[@nickfenton2334]

Also, it'll be interesting to see how these new fanatics jerseys turn out. I'm gonna keep my Adidas ones around but hopefully these new Fanatics ones will be better than everyone is predicting.

Just pre-ordered one of the new columbus premium jerseys, so excited! Hope they don't disappoint

[@shawklan27]

They will

[@Alittlebitsour6]

@shawklan27 my expectations are already super low, so hopefully they exceed them. Still not a fanatics fan, but I'm gonna give them a fair shake

[@aniyn]

I saw the Fanatics jerseys at the young stars tournament last week. It was weird seeing the logo on the back of the neck.

[@KingKronik42o]

Hey Shannon! are we gonna get a side by side comparison video with jersey qualities through the years?? you are THE jersey guy, would be awesome to see!

[@LiamDrives]

Everyone was so dramatic about the quality of the fanatics jerseys. I saw the premium ones at sport Chek today and they Feel and look the exact same as the Adidas ones.

[@player-1775]

Where are you guys getting Adidas jerseys for so cheap?

[@deepee1544]

I'm also curious!

[@TransAth]

As am I Wanting that north Stars Minny jersey

[@vipeholmskolan6052]

I don't think Lehner will play again.

[@connorkenney6938]

My cousin just bought me a xhekaj adidas jersey for cheep. Love it.

[@helenorvana]

As someone who only buys jereys every once in a while, what actually is the difference between the premium and breakaway jerseys? Telling me they're "the same as what they sold before" doesn't actually tell me anything 😢

[@oliwa3384]

The breakaway jerseys have a strange plastic feel to them and a weirdly shiny, bendy logo. They are very odd looking but kind of handy at the arena if you spill stuff on em because everything is repelled by the plastic material. Whatever that material is, Im sure its nothing short of environmental terrorism to produce

[@tk80mufa5]

​@@oliwa3384 haha ! 😂👍

[@aussiekid3588]

My latest 90s ccm jerseys are easily my favourite to own. Not the most comfortable material. But nothing a shirt or jumper cant fix. Theyre simple, basic,no numbers or name and theres a real feel if hockey nostalgia when i wear them.

[@Skippyhazurmuny]

I went ahead and ordered a Larkin jersey. Curious on the differences in my recent Columbus Cannon and this jersey

[@dvon1097]

I just got a Sid alternate adidas authentic for $125. I'm good on these fanatics ones

[@jefffarris9268]

I think it’d be kinda cool if the NHL and Fanatics did a Lind of sweaters/jerseys of teams that no longer exist. Both before the Original 6 era and after

[@g3ggles1]

Same level of quality? I highly doubt it with fanatics; looks like I’m not buying jerseys for 10 years! 👍

[@STARPHASE]

People were shocked by the 425/500$ price tag? I expected on-ice jerseys to sell for like...$600 USD. $425 isn't bad for an on-ice.

[@jacobholloway3044]

Cotter had plenty of opportunity in Vegas. He spend half the season on the second line

[@thedamned6248]

I need a second job. So much goodness here.

[@ianmcgraw5390]

what is the quality if you buy on the team store

[@evog35viii]

Is that blank prices or with player's name/#? Edit: about the authentic pro

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

I just hope Lehner is operating under advice of his agent or attorney. We all know he isn't going to play, but if he wants to be paid under his contract, he needs to fulfill the legal duties of it. I liked Paul Cotter in Vegas.

[@vickybrogan6959]

I'm confused, though. Can the Knights still put him on LTIR if he didn't show up for his medical as required? I know GMKM said that he was still 'unfit to play' and would not be with the club this season. Hockey contract rules and regs are so convoluted.

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

@@vickybrogan6959 I'm not sure, but I think LTIR requires a physical to confirm he's unfit to play. I believe this is the one one he failed to report to. But I also believe that his failure to show up for this physical is grounds to terminate his contract outright. That's what makes his actions confusing, and why I hope he's getting solid legal advice from his professionals. It seems to me that the only thing in play is him being paid the remainder of his contract.

[@carparthero]

this is an amazing opportunity for folks who want the on-ice jersey. this will be the first time in over 10 years that this has been made available. fanatics was smart to have retained SP apparel of quebec to make the on-ice jerseys.

[@lordchancellorhatton1910]

I just bought a discounted adidas authentic. Wait and see if the fanatics is any good.

[@peterolbrisch8970]

Do you know how much fishing gear I could get for 425 dollars? A half filled convenience store bag maybe weighing 5 pounds.

[@neilflood6508]

Lehner criptic statement, colour me surprised. He is one complicated individual.

[@Zamppa86]

People have way too much money if they really are willing to pay 400+ dollars for a hockey jersey. Everything over 150 dollars, with a name and a number, is pure robbery.

[@kokushi629]

Scared me when I saw THG wearing a Devils Jersey...

[@BrenTOR]

i liked the dimples

[@DracoX-hz3tu]

I decided to give the fanatics breakaway jersey a chance since I could not find an adidas Nylander jersey for a reasonable price, and I don't see the problem with them? If anything the material honestly feels better than some of the other jerseys I own

[@shawnlajoie1044]

Does somebody know where is the best place to get a Montreal Canadiens Adidas jersey, in Canada, while they are on sale ?

[@gohabs8918]

Probably their shop

[@MattTheParanoidKat]

I saw a Bedard Fanatics Premium, they have chain stitching on that Blackhawks jersey. It's a quality looking jersey. Fanatics shirts and hats range from decent to pretty bad and cheap, I don't get that from these new Jerseys, they are much better than the Nike Football jerseys which cost just as much for the Premium option of one of those.

[@EpilepticBob]

My girlfriend has a Fanatics Oilers jersey and it isn’t bad. But I still think my Mitchell & Ness Vintage jersey is still better and pretty comfortable to wear

[@Clipppers]

isnt that $425 in u.s? so its basically $600 cad? thats insane…

[@vickybrogan6959]

Practice jerseys for sale? I love the new look! (I went to VGK practice yesterday and they were sharp.) I may have to get (I can't believe I'm saying this) a WHITE practice jersey. My husband will roll his eyes, but I don't care!

[@Tomatohater64]

[@Scantronimus466]

The Knights are looking to terminate Lehner’s contract. He hasn’t even shown up for the physical exam needed to put him on LTIR.

[@DannOfSteel]

It’s quite simple. If it’s Fanatics, I’m not buying.

[@Loopholez91]

You picked the wrong Devils jersey for a NOTD video where two of the stories are related to jerseys and the Devils.The Jersey jersey would have been far more apporpriate😁

[@CJTheeOne]

The authentic pro is 400.00 thats criminal. How did we go from 180.00 to 400! And we know fanatics likely is using lower quality.

Super skeptical of Fanatics... based on hats. I bought an Orange beak Flyers hat, it faded extremely quickly, its a bit stiff feeling around the head. In contrast, I bought a New Era MLB hat, no fade yet, feels way more comfortabe, better product by a lot.

[@ThirdEye3pic]

Collectors can have their cake and eat it. The hardcore TV fan can have their cake and eat it. The parents at Christmas can have their cake and eat it. The family who is down on their luck can still get their kid a jersey. Not too bad Fanatics, not too bad. Yes, I realize the prices of EVERYTHING are ridiculous right now. But the market is the market and if the low end jerseys are essentially the 'breakaway' line, that's still gonna be awesome for a 10 year old kid.

[@kjwinston77]

[@dylanwynkoop4578]

I don’t get people freaking out about the price of the on ice style jerseys. They’ve always been that expensive, and it’s not like Fanatics is taking away the lower tier items. It just doesn’t make sense to me…

[@chrislautoronto]

The Hakanpaa signing feels like a “face saving” move, it’s like saying, “Well, we didn’t do proper due diligence, but we are signing this guy to give the impression that we didn’t f-up…”. While I like some of the Treliving moves and he certainly is more old school and knows the playing style to win in the playoffs, some of his player decisions are concerning (Hakanpaa, Klingberg). Kind of understand why Flames fans wanted a change…
