Got a Hughes one from Sportchek on Marine Drive and Ontario. This one is size 54. Quality is actually pretty good, aside from a couple loose strings and material feels basically the same as my black adidas skate one.

Appreciate the post and especially the close-up shots. It is helpful to see the quality of the materials and stitch.Thanks! I think the thing most people worry about is consistency of quality – how likely you are to get a dud.
I play a lot of guitar and that was how cheap guitars worked. It was possible that your best guitar was your cheapest one if everything was put together right. But it was a lot less likely to happen that way in the cheaper guitar’s factory due to less oversight, looser tolerances, etc. More expensive might have extremely similar parts, but it’s just more likely to feel great. So if you’re broke, you try a bunch of cheap ones until you find a winner.
Rich people things.
This is the closest I’ll be getting to a Fanatics jersey
Looks like my authentic Adidas jersey that I bought for $40 on Black Friday
at least the logo isn’t just printed on or smtn, but it’s nowhere near the amount of detailing and embroidery in the adidas ones.
I’ll never get over the fact that the Fanactics branding is on an NHL jersey. That will always be a detracting factor for me.
Adidas/Reebok/CCM forever. 😤
Are they see through like the baseball ones lol
Do you have an adidas one to compare to? Saw a post on twitter where the name/numbers on the new home/aways were smaller…
F-logo & dimples aside, it’s purely indistinguishable from the adidas versions. If they fixed that flaring (dress-like) issue at the hem then they’ve done real well.
Were the Adidas more expensive or roughly the same price?
That is actually terrible quality for the price. Those should cost 65-90 dollars for that quality. If no one buys them they’ll sell for less
Not excited about the change, but if they come out with the white flying skate, just take my money.
it’s the exact same as adidas. everyone was being so over dramatic.
I liked Adidas a lot idk why they didn’t stick with that
Looks like shit. Fuck Michael Rubin
Looks nice
I really don’t get all the fuss, anything I’ve seen since the switch hasn’t looked bad or concerning to me, I had a few fanatics products already and haven’t had any complains, and the new jerseys look fine in my opinion. Bought a Adidas Canucks one on sale a few months ago , but whenever the time comes where I want another jersey I don’t have a problem buying the new ones.
I’m willing to give Fanatics a fair shake, if they come out with something awesome. At least they’re offering Canadian made jerseys again.
I love the Hughes on that jersey!!
I hope you used a VIP code for sale price at Sport Chek! I just bought an Adidas one for 40% off at $120.
where is it made? what do those people get laid… I’d like to know before I buy research time
looks like my $25 dhgate jersey
These might actually be better quality than what the MLB got.
The first jersey I bought in 2016 was a fanatics, didn’t have money to buy anything else. I have 9 adidas jerseys now and I’ll never buy a fanatics. Their QC is trash. I’ll look in small shops and winners to get adidas
I have both and it’s pretty much the same.Sizing is smaller though.
I keep hearing of premium jerseys but don’t see them listed on the nhl shop. These are different than premier breakaways correct?
Looks meh 🫤
I’ll never understand why people spend $250 on a Fanatics jersey when the authentic Adidas jerseys, which is the kind that the players actually wear, are literally the exact same price.
The NHL sticker will fall off – watch
