Fanatics jerseys will still look like Adidas next year

[sawchuk1971]

I saw a post in the business forum about Fanatics will continue to make Adidas jerseys for the 2024-25 season..

This means the collars will still look the same..

I know I hate the way Adidas jerseys look, especially the collars..

So I know the jerseys will still look the same despite Fanatics taking over next year.

Fanatics jerseys are cheaply made and look like shit . Who in right mind pay those prices for utter garbage?

So it also probably means the dimpled crater yokes are here for at least another year

It probably just means theyre still sitting on old stock, so rather than wasting it, they’ll just slap on the Fanatics logos in place of Adidas.

This sort of happened in the 2000 when the Starter to Proplayer switch happened. Pro Player (Fruit of the Loom) just used the same factories that Starter used to produce the jerseys and slapped their logos on. Ironically, the later Pro Player jerseys actually ended up being better quality than the Starter versions.

In my eyes this was the last year to buy jerseys, after this it's going down hill

Miss KOHO/CCM/NIKE and STARTER jerseys

90s/early 2000s was peak for hockey jerseys

just like when RBK took over from CCM/KOHO

Those are fanatics breakaway they are designed to look like shit and be shit.

The jerseys the players wear will be high quality and made in the same factory that has made NHL jerseys in Quebec for decades.

The jerseys will be made in the same Quebec factory that has been making nhl jerseys for decades.

According to the Anaheim leak it does look like the dimples are gone though. I really like the dimples. In giant collection of Oilers game worn jerseys I love the adidas for the dimples. It’s such a simple thing and makes the jerseys look great. I think jerseys looks naked without the dimples now

This is a great point @Oilslick941611
That first year of RBK 6100 era were basically CCM 550s. At least in my collection of replicas, they have the same boxy cut.

They are the same just with a rbk vector logo on the neck.

Now rbk ruined it with the edge system. I don’t think fanatics will do that. I stopped buying fan jerseys because of the rbk premiers. My collection is solely on ice jerseys and I’m happy that fanatics is going to sell the on the ice jerseys to fans, like Reebok did.

I agree. The dimples look good as an element on the true on ice player authentics.

But on the “repli-thentics” they sell to us general public, they dropped the ball with making them just “look like” dimples.

I kinda miss that vector logo. I liked it over the Reebok wordmark.

The RBK Premiers had terrible fabric. When you wore them out to games, they were prone to pulls from keys or whatever else might snag. I have one Rangers Edge 1.0, and they are miles ahead of the Indo replicas, but the arms are LONG! Like wizard robe arms

I will say though that the Pro Player replicas are a gold standard in replicas. The weight of the fabric was pretty robust and they came with stitched crest and double elbows. The quality on those compared to today’s replicas are shocking

Agree 100%
first on the left is a Game worn jersey from last season, middle is an indo-authentic, third is a game worn reverse retro 2 and last is rbk edge game worn from 2016. I LOVE me some dimples. The fan jerseys though are just a poor representation of them

Anybody who hates the adidas era is either too young or was too drunk during Reebok edge piping-palooza.

Like my Avs…I can totally live with the chunky collars. Because the rest of it is on point.

 

[jetsforever]

Great news, the Adidas ones are awesome
Hope the following year doesn't get worse

Worst era of NHL jerseys ever. I mean the piping looks awful.

^^This. That Reebok vertical piping made some teams jerseys complete eyesores. Most of the Reebok cuts also deleted the lower hem stripes on the jerseys, so they never felt anchored.

I grew to like the Adidas cut. It took me a little to get used to the collars, initially.

The “penta-Adidas “ on the blue Rangers home jerseys looked out of place, at first. As if it were a bolo tie on a hockey jersey. And I thought the fake tie down laces looked silly since they were there for just looks.

But, oddly enough, that element blended in well enough on the road-whites where it wasnt as distracting.

Sacrilegious! The omission of the shoulder yokes on these Oiler jerseys were also strange.

 

[tp71]

Gotta love arm stripes that dont go all the way around. Reebok had it all going wrong. What do you like about jerseys? Well we got none of that! f*** you fans!

 

[TheNumber4]

These Fanatics SCFs Hats suck! It's like they picked the ugliest possible design and decide to run with it.

So bad…they look like pajamas.

I know nostalgia is a strong pull but can everybody who was alive in the Edge era just agree right now we will never bring these back and also teach our children to never think this hockey aesthetic has some sort of retro charm? Please? The thought of Edge retro jerseys being a thing in 2030 is making me naseuous.

 

[GMR]

Nothing can be worse than modern NBA jerseys. They’ve ruined watching the game.

Piping-palooza wasn’t kind to a few teams’ looks.
The Avs and Oilers were already mentioned.
I personally think the Sabres Buffaslug era was forgettable.
These two were also not spared from vertical piping-palooza.

I suppose a Thank You to Adidas is in order for restoring some of the teams back to better sets.

Doesn’t change the fact that Fanatics are f***ing garbage.

 

[SI90]

Just hope they don’t go cheap and as noticeably different as the MLB uniforms did. That has been a disaster.

 

[tp71]

Oh trust me, as much as I just ranted about four posts earlier of Reebok f***ing it all up, I fully and whole heartedly expect fanatics to f*** it all up.

Where there's jerseys to ruin, Fanatics will be there.
Where there's material to cheap out on, Fanatics will be there.
Where there's prices to gouge even beyond gouging prices. Well, Fanatics will be there!

Fanatics, a jersey for no one.
