I mean I hate Fanatics as much as the next guy, but the Fanatics one looks a lot cleaner. Left is way way too busy

Fanatics sucks man. They will advertise something and when it gets to your house it looks like shit or totally different
wesontap
Left looks like some von Dutch Ed hardy shit
Right is cleaner. how old are ya just curious

That one on the left is ugly, the cup all scrawled across the beak looks tacky. I like the clean, simple look of the fanatics one.
OlTommyBombadil
Ah yes I see we are keeping up with the sub’s tradition about bitching about everything imaginable.
The one on the left looks like chaos. I don’t like it at all. The Fanatics one is super boring, sure. But I’d prefer to wear it.
D_Shillington
Fanatics is ass but the hat on the left is fugly. Way too much going on. Reminds me of something you’d see in college in 2005 or so
Rain-41
The left one is noisy as hell but I’m surprised everyone likes the right one which looks like a high school kid designed in 10th grade graphics design class
Edit: A standard hat logo sure but come on…I wouldn’t even know Vegas won the cup unless I squinted at the 5 font size letters. Celebrate that cup like a boss

Fanatics love a good graphic design is my passion level of effort.
JayTee245
Thank god I wasn’t the only one pissed with this corporate looking design! I had the chiefs SB hat from this year and that had more pizzazz
SlainHighlander
Hard disagree. Left looks like shit lol
ThatHouseCDN780
I prefer the cleaner style over the Ed Hardy/Affliction style that they tried of 2010s
Lucifer031987
Fanatics brand is shitty and very ugly i said exactly the same thing when I seen the championship apparel
doublewoahseven
You can only wear the right one on the course tho
GustyOWindflapp
The modern one is so much better. The old ones look like they were designed by the same person who does Motorcross gear. Gross
MFBish
I disagree
Leafs-leafs1967
Both are mid… Reebok has too much going on and weird swirly shit.. Fanatics is cleaner but still boring. Grey on grey on black… boring.

The choice to use mesh was ridiculous. The only reason might be if the players asked for it since they’re really hot from playing and want the heat to get out, but it looks like a Canadian Tire cap.

I am not a fan of fanatics or Nike

Left sucks but the new one does too.
Stonetoothed
Right hat is much better, if I was a VGK fan I’d wear that hat for years to come. Left hat I’d buy and put in my closet and never wear once.
starkmone
championship gear is almost always terrible. buy the hell out of it anyway because you might never do it again. you won’t wear any of the clothes after 2 weeks unless you’re working out, lounging inside, or doing chores. each purchase will still be about the most satisfying purchase capitalism allows.
nottakingpart
They are both tacky AF. Problem solved.
rattlehead42069
I actually like the newer ones better. The older ones have too much going on, makes me think of those blazers Rickey from trailer park boys wear that was popular back then
Josh_Smash_
90s championship hats, and really any sports design, were the peak.

There is not a single redeeming factor about fanatics
kpmcg20
How many years did the nhl sign fanatics for?
awuuu22
Wholeheartedly disagree, old hat looks like trash…might be a little biased cause of the dumbass team logo in the front
goneballisticagain
I’d never wear the left one, not in a million years. The right one, on the other hand
TypicalCanad1an
Fanatics is bottom of the barrel quality.
Dolmen80
While all the championship gear is boring boilerplate production, it being Fanatics just means that patch/screen print on the hat will fall/wear off within 2 weeks. I never liked the overly busy gear as a teen in the mid-90s, but that Fanatics hat reeks cheap. Clean, but boring and sterile.
I’m also another victim of the horrible Fanatics fit. Wore mine once and now it sits on the mantle for decoration. Also, why did they have to bring back the mesh/trucker backing on hats?

That Reebok hat is obnoxious garbage. Is 1000% rather wear the clean one on the right.
OP do you wear ed hardy and tap out clothes with bedazzled jeans??? Be honest
TiredReader87
I don’t dislike the Knights hat, but Fanatics IS garbage
The Pens one is very busy
As far as design goes I’d rather the one on the right
Noobtoob84
100%. These fanatic hats are lazy and look like shit!
quick25
Everything was better before the fanatics era. Get this, you used to be able to actually wash your jersey more than one time before it started to fall apart! Crazy right? That jersey that cost nearly $200 could actually be washed like a regular piece of clothing before losing color, logos, names, and numbers! What a time to be alive…
TOMMYSNICKLES89
I have literally never had an issue with Fanatics shit. Hockey fans love to bitch. Also that Pens hat is ugly as fuck. Imagine being a grown man wearing that Ed Hardy ass hat around.
JiffTheJester
Left one looks like ass tho lol
RallyTowel
Left isn’t necessarily great but it seems more celebratory in the long run. Right looks like a swag handout at a finance conference.
