For the most part, Fanatics have been criticized for their dreadful customer service and poor quality control, but for the most part, the reaction to this post was somewhat positive. Unfortunately, the image of the brand within the NHL community still isn't good, with many fans in the comments questioning the move from the league.
While most fans would enjoy the league going to a more respected and reputable brand, Fanatics are here to stay for the next decade, so perhaps their jersey's will grow on fans as the years roll by.
