As the Adidas era of NHL jerseys concludes, a new supplier was required to step in. The NHL has made its decision, selecting Fanatics as the jersey provider for NHL players, much to the disappointment of fans.
The selection of Fanatics is considered disheartening due to the company's history of substandard fan jerseys, which have been mocked and criticized since their introduction in 2017.
NHL Make a Controversial Choice for Jersey Provider
#Repost @nhlbreakers ・・・ Fanatics is set to replace Adidas as the NHL's provider of on-ice uniforms and authentic jerseys starting after the next season. The agreement is in place until 2035.
Innovative design changes are not expected until the 2026-27 season at the earliest.
Fanatics has garnered a poor reputation in recent years, with complaints ranging from low-quality materials and poor customer service to inadequate quality control. This choice is far from ideal for most hockey fans.
