TBH, other than the lack of dimpled shoulders, the Fanatics look and feel identical to the Adidas Jerseys. This is the Adidas authentic and the Fanatics Premium. The store at the Iceplex doesn’t have any of the Fanatics Made in Canada Jerseys yet to compare those, but I would expect the same.
Store clerk I talked to was pleasantly surprised with quality.

I just bought one. Seems very similar
That’s honestly what I was expecting from what we would get as a customer. And it’s exactly what they talked about anyways.
I get the hate that Fanatics has, and I think there probably still is plenty of opportunity for things to be messed up, but I think that this may be at least acceptable.
I have defended the Fanantics change-over since day one. Not that I like Fanatics, but we knew since day one these were going to be made in the same factory, to the same specs, with most of the same materials.
The MLB screw up was eventually found to be Nike’s fault and not Fanatics.
I dislike Fanatics for many reasons, but I was pretty optimistic about these being perfectly fine and acceptable.
Yeah I’m not worried about the change to Fanatics honestly, as long as the jerseys are close to the same quality but with some changes, I’m good with it. Have a few other fanatics products as well that I’ve been happy with, that doesn’t mean they don’t sell bad products as well , but I have no reason to hate them.
Y’all should order from DH Gate. I ordered 2 jerseys from them and I seriously can’t tell the difference from the official jerseys unless I look really close. $35 on dhgate $230 on NHL dot com
