What you have there is the fanatics breakaway jersey. It’s the least expensive option for jerseys because it uses much cheaper materials than, for example, the Adidas “authentic” jerseys. It’s basically a long-sleeve shirt with the logo glued on. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them, but some people aren’t crazy about them. I’d be happy to answer any more questions you may have!
Sure?
Unfortunately Fanatics started sponsoring the NHL and the quality of their products has always been subpar at best and nowadays it feels more like it’s coming out of a dollar store than anything.
It’s north america bro, where everything is a scam
The sens jersey I bought last season from fanatics is similar to this, in that the logo itself just looks a bit off material wise. This is just the fanatics partnership
Still looks good, looks like a jersey etc.
Sweater just doesn’t look right without the iconic RBC patch IMO.
Crazy how many people here support buying real jerseys from fanatics then fake jerseys from chine. You can still get fake jerseys that are stitched and better quality for a fraction of the price the the “real” ones
Yeah I have one of those it is not the best but gets the job done for the price (still expensive)
The $300 plus ones I just can’t justify.
It has the NHL seal which means it meets their specifications.
Choose a historic name & number..
No it’s not NHL quality that is the lowest tier jersey you can get these are for the casual fans that want to rep the team but don’t want to spend more. Then you get a step up which will be more of a replica of the on ice product. Both of the mentioned jerseys are not meant to be won with pads or gear. But then the top tier which is the most expensive is the exact type of jersey worn by the pros (not game worn just exactly what they wear) which definitely feel the best and are meant to be worn with pads and gear.
I got a jersey from aliexpress for 60 and my friends who bought their fanatic ones for 200+ are jealous. Mine looks and feels more quality… Fuck fanatics.
