I have three of the old CCM original Canes jerseys- a white Cole with a bunch of signatures from the 2009 team, a red that was blank but I did up as a 2006 Williams after the 2019 run, and a blank youth XL jersey that I got recently with the intent of wearing close fitting while biking or hiking.I am lucky to have a black 2005 ovechkin ccm jersey in black. CCM/Koho was the gold standard in jerseys.
the fanatics rep is currently telling me i need to look in the item description because there are "customized" adidas jerseys and "authentic" ones. which is BS.That's awful. I've heard NHL shop customization is sub par, but yikes. If you can get it somewhere else for a similar price I'd return.
I'm just a cheapskate and buy the kits from Customize Sports (where many if not most shops source their kits) and stitch 'em myself. Actually just stitched up my Aho Stadium Series today. But yeah, you do have to both stitch the layers together and stitch them to the jersey. You do save nearly $100 over buying from the Eye if you don't mind the time and are comfortable with the sewing machine, though.I really feel like you’re better off buying from a small shop or at least sending your jerseys in for customization.
I recently bought a couple Adidas authentic from nhl.com just to take advantage of their pricing but I’m sending them off to a jersey shop for customization. Takes longer but I know it will be done right. I don’t trust the nhl store at all.
Just a good old fashioned miser. Doing your own repairs and alterations can save quite a bit of money, and I also get a lot of satisfaction out of getting a lot more life out of stuff that most people would throw out. A sewing machine is just one more power tool!Our mod is a seamster?
OK, Betty Crocker. You do you.A sewing machine is just one more power tool!
Awesome for boat upholstery repair too.Just a good old fashioned miser.

This is what I did for my Stadium Series jersey. I got one of the Fanatics anniversary jerseys for cheap around Christmas, but it is bad quality. I wanted to do this one right, so I did the Pro Shop website since the lines at the game were long. It's taking a long time to turn around, but I figured it'd be worth it. I used to have no problem with the lower-grade jerseys instead of authentic but the Fanatics ones aren't good. It was more expensive for sure, but worth it compared to the other option.Buy from TheEye at CarolinaProShop.com
