You are not alone in your frustration and the Bruins are not at fault for this.
The NHL has totally screwed this up

Mrs. SFA trying to find me a Pooh jersey last week:
It’s 2022. You should be able to get any jersey you want customized with any player you want at this point.

I don’t understand what the NHL and/ or Bruins are doing. There are literally thousands of people begging them to take their money for items.
Any NHL run site and team store is run by Fanatics. They essentially have a monopoly on not just the NHL but every major sport.
For my jerseys I generally buy from sportsk.com they are a small business site and sell authentic adidas jerseys and shipping is cheap. Though they only sell blanks no names.
A good site for custom named jerseys is Coolhockey.com and HockeyAuthentic.com. they Have a good selection and you can have them hand stitch a name of your choice on the back. They are in Canada though so I'm not sure if with the busy holiday shipping and having to go through customs it would be here by Christmas.

I looked on hockeyauthentic yesterday and they were saying it would ship early 2023
@Sevendust, try JerseyBaron.com
I bought an authentic Patrice Bergeron 2010 Winter Classic jersey from them and it is perfect down to the lettering and numbering. They do most of their sales on eBay, but they are 100% legit. I already looked, and they have all the “normal” sizes. Unfortunately, it looks like they only have blanks. But if you want my advice, get the blank now in your size while you can, and customize it.
I’ve used Keener Jerseys in Canada in the past for customization, and they are as good as it gets for custom authentic numbers and lettering. It’ll take time, but I can attest to their work. They customized a black Reebok edge 2.0 jersey with Bergeron’s name, number, “A,” and a 2011 SCF patch (which I bought separately and sent in with the jersey). It is spectacular and by far my favorite jersey that I own.
Good hunting and let me know how it goes. I know how frustrating it can be looking for a jersey you have to have but can’t find it anywhere. PM me if I can help.

It's nuts that the NHL/Adidas didn't make enough of the reverse retros available before the holiday shopping season.
Hockey Authentic generally has the best prices for actual customized authentic NHL jerseys, and their customization is simply awesome. Way better than the cruddy lettering and numbering from the more official outlets that sell authentic jerseys. Their shipping to the US is included in the price of the jersey, and still comes out a bit cheaper than buying directly from the NHL shop and Adidas directly.
They sold out of the customized reverse retros uber fast when they went up for sale. They had a COVID outbreak a few weeks ago so I think the team that does their stitching all got sick and won't get caught up until early 2023. I wanted to get a custom Pasta Pooh Bear and a custom Kaprizov Wild reverse retro. Supposedly they will have another round of reverse retro sales in early 2023. I guess I will try again then.

I pre-ordered a Marchand the from the proshop the day it was opened for sale but It hasn't shipped. Cant call the pro-shop, cant leave a message, cant customize online, and they wont respond to email. So im essentially out 260 with no update as to when its coming.
There is better availability of CCM jerseys with designs from the 60s and customization options out the wazoo than the jersey that was literally announced a month ago.

I had a very similar experience with the Pro Shop when I bought Mrs. 103 a 2019 Marchand Winter Classic jersey. What a f***-show. After A LOT of legwork, we finally got it. I’ll never buy another jersey from them unless it’s ready-made on the rack and I can walk out with it that day.
Good luck.

Do you mean the Pooh Bear?
If so, good luck. I don’t think you can get a white Pooh anywhere.

Unfortunately yes, that one. Probably my favorite jersey the bruins have come out with in quite some time. Not a fan of the ones they came out with this year so don’t really want to get a poitras one of those.
I have yet to investigate, either at the Pro Shop proper or online: Does anyone sell a knock off of the "Original Six" third sweaters they wore last night? I'm not spending $300 or whatever it is for the official release.
More specifically, does anyone know if there are "youth size" or small sizes made with cheaper material and therefore don't cost an arm and a leg?
I'll be in town tomorrow, so I'll look myself, but any info appreciated,

I buy my jerseys in person or online from the proshop.
I've had good luck with rmailing the proshop to ask what players they have jerseys for as I don't think they are offering customized player jerseys any longer.
The players I saw in the shop on Thursday were:
Marchand
Lucic
Pasta
McAvoy
Coyle
Lindholm
Swayman
Ullmark
Van Riemsdyk
If you are looking for player tshirts, there are slim pickings sadly.

Underrated Aerosmith tune.
Let’s not get political and turn this thread into a debate on capitalism.
Don't worry. I've gone about as far as I'm going to go.

Another thumbs up for Hockey Authentic. Did a fantastic job on my Pasta jersey.
