Curious if the folks that say they won’t miss the “dimples” on the Adidas are referring to the fan authentic versions or the team issued versions. Because there’s a huge difference. The lack of dimples on the Fanatics Authentic Pro version makes it look cheap and definitely needs more flair/character to separate it from the lower versions
Ya know, I like how Reebok does things too. Not NHL as I don't have any NHL by Reebok but I have an ECHL sweater that Reebok did. It's a but rougher than my other sweaters but, it's durable. I don't disagree with CCM, but I'd throw Reebok in there as well, I think they make good sweaters too
I keep seeing people saying the quality is the same as Adidas in the higher range. But too me from pics I've seen ..... don't know..... they still look crappy.
It is the same. The problems will likely come in season three of the deal with Fanatics as buy that point they will be experiment more with different materials at this point it basically still the Adidas template just with some elements add & some changed but nothing taken away apart from the change of manufacturer logo on the back. For example, after talking with N.H.L players, Fanatics add a small bit of fabric to the elbow to enable better movement when playing on the ice but unless you see it close up, you would never know it was there. Fanatics have sead that they will always consult the players before making any changes at all & that they made sure they had control of design prosses before signing the deal as they did not want blowback like they had with the M.LB jerseys.
Maybe its not the best idea to buy lot of these jerseys cause they might not be the long term product. At least they didn't mess the transition. Just hope they'll make great jerseys
As Blackhawks fans, we definitely get spoiled with that beautiful chain-stitched logo. It’s definitely a dying art in sports though, as less and less teams seem to be using it
As a fan from the UK, I'm greatful fanatics is coming out with the jerseys as it means I can buy my teams jerseys in the UK without the need for shipping costs, waiting months for a jersey to arrive. I do worry about the quality though. As for the shoulders doesn't bother me all that much. I don't see sports jerseys as a fashion item. If they're comfortable and I can support my team. That's what matters.
If you want the basic cheap ones you should be able to get them easy. If you want the high end quality ones you may still need to pay shipping as they will be made in Quebec.
@@legacy1X not correct. You can only tend to buy one of 4 teams in the UK. Those being the leafs, bruins, kings and golden knights and as a fan of none of those teams. It's incredibly difficult to get merchandise of any of the other teams without paying ridiculous fees and that includes in second hand stores/online auctions. So like I say. Thankfully that shouldn't be so bad when they come through.
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 you would think with all the NHL players from europe it would be a lot easier to get sweaters over there. What is your team if you don't mind me asking?
I honestly like how they look so far,I am curious to see in the future though if all the teams will get their own new designs to their jerseys. Especially in the collar and stripping
I don’t mind the shoulders dimples being gone. I could take or leave it. As far as fanatics goes I promised myself I wasn’t going to buy anything from them but as a ducks fan and with the redesign I preordered an premium(Indo)away jersey for 199 so 215 with tax. As much as I wanted an MiC jersey it starts at 500 on the ducks store and that’s for a blank. No way could I justify that much. As you mentioned fanatics better deliver!
As an old school fan. I still prefer the jerseys made by CCM, Koho, Bauer, Reebok or Starter. The jerseys that came out from Adidas weren’t my cup of tea and the Fanatics jerseys to me didn’t have anything spectacular and I don’t really the necklines on both the Adidas and now the Fanatics jerseys along with the crest on the neckline being as large as it is. I’ve only ever paid 270+ for one jersey that I owned and the was a 94 CCM Center Ice Authentic Pittsburgh Penguins home jersey. The quality of that jersey was amazing.
If you have ever held a Made in Canada Adidas jersey you would miss those shoulder dimples because they are way more defined and really set those jerseys off and look cool as hell.
I still miss Carolina’s old design from the early days of the franchise-that was *one of the best* looking logos in hockey that should’ve never been changed! 🤦🏼♂️
I am indifferent to the dimples. They look ok. It gives it the professional look. I think the new Fanatics jersey without them will open the door to a lot of knockoffs trying to pass off as the real thing now that there isn’t a different material needed.
the Shoulder dimples was said to be a Adidas thing so that is said to be why they are gone now . i didn't mind them but to me the jerseys look cleaner with out them but it took a bit to get used to not seeing them any more. i think it's the 26 /27 that Fanatics fully takes over i knew someone online who got 2 Fanatics red Panthers jerseys a year apart with different players and when looking at the red on both home jerseys one was a darker shade of red .
Agreed, some collectors are suddenly obsessed with the dimples, as if they didn't look ridiculous when announced. But the dimples aren't special, what is special is manufacturers experimenting with fabrics in ways that aren't only cost-cutting, to give a better, more "finished" product for your $230 (lolz).
An *amateur* designer uses the same fabric across the entire jersey. A *professional* designer is more thoughtful and understands attention to detail. Hence the aesthetic appeal of a dimpled shoulder. Without that subtle but meaningful difference, Fanatics confirms their poor reputation and continues to produce low-quality or undesirable jerseys.
I purchased the breakaway jersey and I dont miss the Adidas shoulders and their dimples. The fanatics material is softer on this jersey and it didn't br3ak the bank either. Time will tell with durability but it looks and feels great.
My take on them is that they look more "old school with the new shoulder change . Also the On Ice Jerseys are made in Quebec for the past 50 years, and will continue to be for the next 10 years, the only thing that changes is the "sponsor logo" Ie. KoHo.. CCM.. Reebok.. Adidas.. and Now Fan Fanatics .. here is the quote fro the Owner of SP "Berard is the owner and CEO of SP Apparel, the Canadian company that has manufactured the NHL's on-ice uniforms for nearly 50 years in Quebec. It will continue to manufacture those jerseys now that Fanatics will be the official outfitter of the NHL's on-ice uniforms for the next 10 years, beginning next season." I think they will be fine.. Now as far as the jerseys made for fans thats a different ball game.
Carolina should’ve done somethin’ a little more unique with their design and logo-like take the two storm flags and make a circular ‘C’ with with em and then utilize the curved hockey stick as a bent flag pole! 🌀
I was quite content not to buy anymore, but I’m a ducks fan, so I’m keen on getting their new away, and maybe in time, the home. Ducks store has it for $200USD plus $43USD shipping to New Zealand for the one that’s equivalent to the adidas one we can buy. That equates to $400NZD. But to answer your question, I’m pro dimple and pro silver shield, so the fanatics jerseys are missing something in my opinion.
Fanatics is kinda screwed from a marketing standpoint. They’ve always been know as the cheaper/poor quality jerseys. Sure they’re not great but more economical for some. But now they’re making the legit jerseys…even if they up their quality there will still be that stigma of fanatics being the B grade jersey and it will scare people off from spending adidas prices on the A grade fanatics jerseys
I hope they're a better team than they were in Arizona and hope Utah takes good care of them. Things are looking pretty good. The Smiths need to get on that arena problem ASAP though and fix that issue FAST! The Yotes were used to playing in a funky arena, but not like the Delta so, Utah needs to fix up that pond so the Yeti have a solid coop looking igloo to live in
The perforations on the Adidas Jerseys are cool, just a proprietary detail that said “Adidas”….but you’re right, it’s not going to be this earth shaking thing we’re missing….if anything I like that the Fanatics version doesn’t have them because it will make the Adidas Sweaters easily recognizable.
Shoulders don’t matter to me what matters to me is the quality in the overall jersey. I have been impressed so far with what I have seen for the actual fanatics game Worn jerseys, but what I’m interested in seeing is what the Fanatics comparable jersey is to what the Adidas indos are/were. As far as buying a fanatics jersey, it will probably be a wait-and-see with me. I will wait and see what the influencers have to say on TH-cam before I make any purchases.
Do am i the only one who buy fanatics jersey instead of the adidas? I like the fanatics deal. Shure its like a black hole (in space) for what is about that partnership. I watched clips of the nhl draft this year an they are not bad. One negatif point is the air sweating(under arms, shoulders) there is not so much on the design.
Hold on, STOP. I guess everyone is grown up and adults in here and probably won't bring it up, if I'm the "child" in the room, that's not my intent, in my mind I guess I feel I'm being the adult whatever BUT! With a lot of videos I've been seeing regarding NHL sweaters, I just want to say and 👏 you for this. When you got to the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS, dude, awesome! Thanks for being a friggin man, that's all I'll say. I was impressed in comparison to other videos and, honestly, I think majority of the hockey work agrees so, that's it. I'm a firm believer in when someone does something right, acknowledge it and thank them for it. To everyone else in the community, sorry if I was that guy but, I've seen it enough over the past week or so that it was awesome to see a change of pace so, thanks everyone and my apologies
I wish Utah could have had an Adidas jersey. But at least the changes in the jersey template are pretty minimal this season. As far as the shoulders go- I do think it makes the jerseys look “cheaper” (lower quality) without the dimples, but honestly it’s not that big of a deal. I’m sure everyone will get used to the new template.
Fanatics: Try not sending us any major changes this year, we're still transitioning into taking over equipment provision and won't be ready to implement new designs until next season. SoCal franchises: Bet.
Actually a big fan of the shoulder change. Always thought the dimples were a little gimmicky, even though they did look good. I do really like the template with the streamlined fabric look now
If they are going to charge the same price as Adidas but get rid of design. Then yes, I'm disappointed they got rid of the shoulders. They're already showing their true colors.
I loved the dimples. One of my few positive takeaways from Adidas jerseys. However, as someone who owns quite a few Breakaways, I don't want my 'higher end' jerseys sporting the same manufacturer logo as my low end ones. Maybe that is silly, but...yeah. I can get gameworn jerseys from my local beloved ECHL team for less than $230. I would rather support minor league hockey in that way.
They look good so far, Giving off major Reebok vibes and there’s really nothing wrong with that and I’m glad to hear there where a few issues the players themselves were requesting be changed that fanatics immediately took priority of, Adidas were being egotistical Karen’s and refusing to change their design one bit and it’s one of the few reasons the NHL didn’t renew the deal with them, something with the sleeves apparently?
I have two fans jerseys, one gifted and one offer I won cheap that I’m trying to get rid of, I will never get another fans jersey after these, and I have about 15-16 adidas jerseys. These jerseys are obviously going to be bad.
Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland. I honestly dont care. I am interested to see what Fanatics do when they get the chance to put their own stamp on the jerseys in a year from now, I fear the wost when that happens.
I actually like no dimples. I think it looks more clean and complete without them. The dimples weren’t anywhere else in the jersey or uniform, so I prefer this look.
I’ve never had any issues with Fanatics jerseys before. I purchased the ones that I like and the breakaway jerseys is the ones that I can afford and they’ll fit me. Lol.
The dimples were strange, especially because its the easiest way to tell a MIC vs retail. Will you buy a MIC fanatics? Might have to eat crow a bit. I got an authentic pro jacket, one of my favorites. Keep pushing the goalpost back post 2 post.
They will only get more & be more prominent as time goes on. North Americans think we in Europe have always had ads on our football ( Soccer club shirts not true it started gradually in the 80s with Liverpool, then Hibernian. I know how it will go with adds on N.H.L. on ice uniforms, they will get bigger, and then they will add them on the arm & on the back over the next 30 years, it will be slowly , slowly, at first as it was in Europe but in 30 years from now, just see what N.H.L. jerseys look like fans will not be happy but slowly grow to expect the reality.
Everything I've ever purchased from Fanatics has been poor quality at a high price!! So I have very low expectations for any products they are in charge of!!🤨
I'm totally fine with the shoulders. To me, it gives the jersey a more consistent look. My main questions involve what we should expect for the official replica jerseys quality-wise. When Adidas was making the jerseys, the Fanatics jerseys may have been officially licensed, but they might as well have been knock-offs with the heat pressed/glued/whatever logos and patches. There was no comparison to the Adidas versions. There better be stitched versions available for purchase, regardless of the price point. On a slightly tangential note, the ads I see for Fanatics gear are concerning. The jersey ads I've been seeing these days literally have the Adidas logo on them. In previous year, I saw products that had mistakes in the branding. I seem to remember seeing a Colorado Avalanche glass with "Washington Football Team" printed below the Avs logo, or something like that. It was some sort of blending of 2 completely different teams and it was advertised on the Fanatics site. It was like the ad was AI generated before AI had really taken a hold.
Buffalo fan here-if I do decide to buy one, I think I’m gonna do the frontal numbers on mine…I was always a big fan of those (personal preference) for the simple fact that we were the first team to utilize em! 🔵#🟡

NHL jerseys didn't have shoulder dimples for over 100 years, and only had them for a few. They're better without them.
Nothing like CCM !

Those dimples just looked functional, it's the same as when kid sees fire decals on a car.
The NHL shield is changed to a hologram as well.

Without the shoulder dimples it looks like we took a step back. Went from modern back to the 90s
Just wait for the misspelled names also got a feeling that fanatics won't last more then 3 seasons
Heard someone ordered a NY Rangers jersey....he recieved the NY Rangers jersey...with the Islanders logo on the front ha.
the shoulder dimples are gone because they were an adidas patented “adizero” thing so they wouldn’t let fanatics use it
The first thing I noticed was that the shoulder patches was missing on some of them
The Adidas dimples on the shoulders were cool but I'm not that upset that its gone. I more so care about the quality!

The shoulders don't have dimples anymore because it's Adidas IP.
It's not next season we get these for the next 2,
Fanatics new jersey will be 2026-2027 season
I feel like the dimples only looked good on the MiCs; I didn’t really care for them on the retail jerseys

adds on N.H.L. on ice uniforms, they will get bigger, and then they will add them on the arm & on the back over the next 30 years, it will be slowly , slowly, at first as it was in
Europe but in 30 years from now, just see what
N.H.L. jerseys look like
fans will not be happy but slowly grow to expect the reality.
Atlanta Flames is best
Everything I've ever purchased from Fanatics has been poor quality at a high price!! So I have very low expectations for any products they are in charge of!!🤨
The shoulders look weird
I'm totally fine with the shoulders. To me, it gives the jersey a more consistent look. My main questions involve what we should expect for the official replica jerseys quality-wise. When Adidas was making the jerseys, the Fanatics jerseys may have been officially licensed, but they might as well have been knock-offs with the heat pressed/glued/whatever logos and patches. There was no comparison to the Adidas versions. There better be stitched versions available for purchase, regardless of the price point.
On a slightly tangential note, the ads I see for Fanatics gear are concerning. The jersey ads I've been seeing these days literally have the Adidas logo on them. In previous year, I saw products that had mistakes in the branding. I seem to remember seeing a Colorado Avalanche glass with "Washington Football Team" printed below the Avs logo, or something like that. It was some sort of blending of 2 completely different teams and it was advertised on the Fanatics site. It was like the ad was AI generated before AI had really taken a hold.
Logos looks crappy as hell 🤮🤮
Fanatics makes a horrible product
pure junk
Buffalo fan here-if I do decide to buy one, I think I’m gonna do the frontal numbers on mine…I was always a big fan of those (personal preference) for the simple fact that we were the first team to utilize em! 🔵#🟡
