I'm not sure I'm too happy about Fanatics charging the same for their middle tier jerseys as the Adidas Indo jerseys. Adidas is a globally recognised brand with a storied history in almost every sport for the best part of a century. They possess a degree of recognition which Fanatics dont. Adidas have the "right" to charge a premium or mark things up because you're paying for a premium brand. Fanatics is not a desirable brand so they shouldn't be expecting customers to pay the same as they would Adidas. I was happy to pay $180 for an Adidas product. I wouldnt pay more than $130 for the same jersey made by Fanatics. You'd think that now Fanatics is offering an even higher spec jersey for $400+ they would maybe be able to offset the costs for the mid tier. Make the $180 jersey $130 and knock the Breakaway jersey down to under $90. Nobody in their right mind should be paying over $100 for a Fantics breakaway. Another nitpick is the close up of that Blues jersey crest... YIKES. You see that bubblimg im the crest? Looks like something you'd get from DHgate. Only time will tell.
@icethetics2 ай бұрын
That might be fair but I think the majority of people are buying jerseys for the brand on the front rather than the manufacturer on the tag. Whether they’re made by Adidas or Fanatics, quality expectations from NHL QC would be the same. Either way, people will speak with their wallets as that’s the one language companies like this all understand.

My understanding is that the medium level jerseys will be almost identical to the adidas authentic jerseys consumers could buy previously (besides the shoulder dimples and the fanatics logo replacing the adidas logo on the back), and the lowest level jerseys will still be the fanatics replica jerseys most people are already familiar with. I could be wrong, I obviously haven’t seen or gotten my hands on any of the jerseys yet, but my understanding of the jersey levels will be: highest-end=MiC, medium level=similar to Adidas authentic, and lowest level=fanatics replicas

Let me put it this way for the first part, I never bought a hockey jersey period till I bought a retail mid-tier Reebok of the Hurricanes OG black warning flag alternate. I bought several more Reeboks of that level and they were fine for the price point. I have bought multiple Adidas of the retail variety now and I would say those are slightly nicer than the Reeboks. Comparing the Fanatics brand currently out versus the Aididas currently out, there is a reason the Fanatics are cheaper: the materials and the construction. They aren't bad and they're cheaper, but for the price difference, I'd rather have the brand the team wears. I have also felt and seen in-person the Mitchell & Ness replicas--for the price, those things are overpriced for the quality in terms of the nameplates, crests, and patches--the jersey itself isn't too bad, but the cheapness of all of the other aspects of it are off-putting to me. Secondly, for Fanatics branded apparel that they make, I have had TONS of issues with the quality of their screenprint merchandise--specifically the screenprints themselves, not the actual shirt or hoodie material--just the screenprint. I am leery of any of their branded apparel, and I almost have to see them IN-PERSON before I would buy one of which a design by Fanatics is my only choice. Their hats have been fine. I think Fanatics is making a smart move to have 4 levels of jersey, the Fanatics out now, the Adidas retail equivalent, the on-ice, and the practice. It will be interesting to see the price points though. For Fanatics year 1, are they doing home, away, and alternate? Or is just home and away. On those dimples.... I thought they were cool and depending on the jersey design, they can look better, worse, or even. I think those dimples really set off my Canes black jersey, but on the red, white, or Whalers ones, it really doesn't even stand out.

However I was hoping they’d have people working with them that had experience with hockey jerseys & this is really why the jerseys look great in my opinion. I do love the dimples on the adidas jerseys; I thought they gave the jersey a little bit of uniqueness, but I guess I can live without the dimples though😂. I’m so glad they’ve made the decision to allow fans to buy the on ice version, I’ll buy a few, but most likely going to stick with the retail version & glad to see the price didn’t move.

Again, I am cautiously optimistic about the NHL/Fanatics take over especially after the Nike mess that happened. Nike and Underarmour respectively are very very abysmal with Jerseys. I think having Keith and Dom who came from Reebok and over saw Jersey production before is Fanatics doing a correct thing and not wanting to make mistakes with a sport they have full control over. Do it right, use what the is already good and successful and just slap the Fanatics logo on and make sure they are on top of it. We will see how it goes at the retail level tho.

Currently the only Breakaway jersey I own is a Reverse Retro Wild Wing, mostly because I couldn't justify the authentic price tag for a jersey with no embroidered crest. It's comfy enough and adequately serves its purpose for what it is - but from what I've seen of other Breakaways I still can't get past the logo treatment 😅

But can I get an authentic goal cut for my leafs? That's the question

I’m not sure about that. Fanatics said they’d have more information on jersey availability in September.

I already bought a Stamkos breakaway jersey because the Predators have them listed since 7/6 or so. The letters are falling off already. Can Fanatics or can a Predators facility like Bridgestone Arena or Ford Ice handle those repairs?

Of course, fanatics as a company grew fast. They greased enough wheels and slashed production costs to decimate the competition. There is a reason why Adidas dropped hockey. There is too much licencing politics and overhead. They are sticking to soccer where the jerseys are way cheaper to manufacture and lower licencing. As for fanatics, as they have a 10-year agreement, the material quality will become cheaper and cheaper in quality so they can make more revenue. That will come.

I’m gonna miss the textured logos 😩

they’re not going anywhere. these new jerseys still have the textured crests.

Do people realize how full Fanatics hands are with making Jerseys? Two rebranding teams a relocated team and a first time champion team. Then Utah's new look next year.

You know what I’d love to see? A cut like the CCM jerseys from the 90’s or the RBK cut. The adidas cut never fit me right, by the sounds and looks of it, not much has changed from the fit of adidas. I’ve always had to wear a jersey from previous eras to fit right. Kinda hard when your hometown team is the Kraken. Guess I’ll keep repping my Silvertips jersey until Fanatics ever gets it right.

$425 for the on ice jersey is absurd. It's polyester and twill.
@icethetics2 ай бұрын
if all you wanted to buy was polyester and twill, you could definitely get it for cheaper. don’t think that’s what people are buying here. 😅

@@icethetics I have on ice jerseys that I paid far less than that for. Just a fancier way to rip people off with their recycled polyester mumbo jumbo. These look like the old CCM air knit replicas from the early 90s.

If the on ice jerseys have non optional ads, they should be cheaper than ones without the ad... (it would make the sponsors happy)
@icethetics2 ай бұрын
yeah, you would think a portion of the ad revenue should subsidize the cost of the jersey for fans... but i'm not sure the teams see it that way. 😅

I 💯% won’t be buying them at that price point. I thought the Adidas authentics were already too much as it was.

I didn’t like the dimples at first, but now it looks weird without it.
