Guess this is the right place to ask, but what’s everyone’s take on adidas versus fanatics jerseys? I’ve never really been a jersey guy (aside from an old Langenbrunner), but figured it’s about time I pick up some merch.

Given what I know about fanatics, just wondering if I’m better off avoiding their product.

Adidas isn't making them anymore but the authentic jerseys are worth the $$$ when compared to buying the replica jerseys. Fanatics will be making both the on ice authentic jerseys and the cheaper replica jerseys for the fans. They will be using the same warehouses that Adidas used as I believe they bought them from Adidas. I would try to buy an Adidas jersey now while they are on sale. They are really nice ,especially if you can get them for a low price. The Fanatics replica jerseys are not really that good for the money.

This years Fanatics authentic on ice jersey is literally the same as the Adidas one. They just swapped the branding. For the 2025/26 season , Fanatics is rolling out a nee authentic jersey that will be most likely lighter and more breathable (whatever bs they come up with). They told teams to wait till then if they are going to redo their home , away and alternate uniforms. The Ducks and the Kings rebranded this year though. It could be a possibility the Devils change their home and away jerseys that year. I highly doubt the logo will ever change (as it shouldn't) but the teams current home and away jersey are super bland. They did a great job with both reverse retro jerseys , their white heritage jersey & their stadium series jersey as well. The black "JERSEY" jersey was a letdown. I have a feeling the Devils will make a change for 2025/2026.

Thanks! Yeah, I had seen some adidas on sale, which is obviously the best value, but I’m more interested in the quality if I’m going to make the purchase. Sounds like adidas carries on both fronts right now.
