Hey just wanted to let people know that there is some nice sens jerseys on sale at Fanatics.ca for the old addidas ones, i bought both of them they are very nice here is the links:
I sure hope nobody here is actually buying Fanatics gear...
I actually have seen the “final” version of the jersey, and have been assured that details like you mentioned look wayyyyy better in person.Most of the special event jerseys that Fanatics have released have really nice design elements in person if you see the actual Made In Canada Authentic Pro jersey.
Their marketing is subpar because none of these really translate in the marketing material, but if you see something like the Blackhawks WC jersey or the Team Canada four nations jersey in person, they are beautiful. Keep in mind, I am talking about the actual on ice version that retails for a ridiculous $510. (Although, you can get them for about $300 if you can find a 30 percent coupon and stack it with the Costco discount.)
@benjiv1 claimed that there are some design elements to the red part of our crest on the new alternate jersey. Fanatics seems to be putting a lot of interesting textured designs that don't translate well to photographs, but when you see them in person they look great.
Based on their history, I am not confident long-term if the plan is for Fanatics to eventually take over the manufacturing side, but otherwise the jerseys they have released so far while working with their partners like SP Jerseys have been fantastic.
