The relationship between Hartford and the Hurricanes with the Whalers is complicated and ugly. The Canes unretiring Whalers numbers was a big part of that

I bought a blank Adidas one from NHL Shop, which is rare for me to ever use them. But I got it for at least $30 less than what the Carolina Pro Shop was selling it for. Unfortunately and this is one of the reasons why I try to avoid NHL Shop and Fanatics... it arrived in a bag like yours. The crest logo was creased, but not badly. If it cannot be ironed out, I might return it. I'm a collector and don't want flawed jerseys.

Yep, that jersey is a thing of beauty!! Definitely getting one, but it will be a blank (Adidas).

For as much as I love seeing the Whalers back in the ethos of the hockey world...I'll stick to my vintage authentic 1996/97 CCM Home & Away jerseys & skip ANYTHING that Fanatics is selling. You just can't beat the old school Maska Ultra-FIl jerseys from the early 1990's.

Got the adidas whalers in a 56 blank and I love it. Wanna get my name and number on it. Want that dark blue one as well. Great logo and colors. Bring em back.

Huge Hartford Whalers fan and these releases are an abomination. I would go to games at the Civic Center in my CCM Maska jerseys. Shame on the Canes for doing this. Fanatics is pure trash and the Adidas "pro" ones fit terribly. I miss CCM authentic ones. I have some from over 30 years ago that look and feel brand new. Great channel ! Love the content

You can find the blue ones now and then from the CCM era, anything before that gets super rare and once you get into the CCM-Maska era with the durene fabric, sizing gets super wonky. I wish we'd get more proper throwback jerseys, but the Fanatics throwbacks are pure trash and the Adidas throwbacks are paper-thin imitations. Glad to have you along for the ride! Thank you! Still can't believe they let someone wear #2 in the Hartford throwbacks

That jersey s sick! Think I might have to get one.

I want to get one and I know it would be a bit of a foul but the jersey is based off the one that Gordie Howe would have worn so I would want GORDIE HOWE number 9 since they put his full name on the back.

That's actually the green jersey hanging behind us, Fanatics' throwback was...it was bad. Wearable. You'd be better off finding one of the CCM throwbacks and getting that made

What’s the guys height/ weight on the left? I’m 5”11 245 lbs. not sure if I want to get a 54 or 56
@uglythirds11 ай бұрын
Not far off. DEFINITELY get the 56. The 54s are super tight around the chest and they don't fit either of us.

CCM is no longer owned by Adidas/Reebok about 4 or so years ago CCM was able to become their own company again.

Fanatics NHL jerseys are absolute gutter trash. Spend your money wisely instead of buying a fanatics just to buy one.

Fully disagree. Considering how much I've torn apart Adidas quality throughout this channel, I think fanatics is better than Reebok was and the hate is unjustified
