Comparing Adidas to Fanatics

What’s up haven’t seen you in a bit but anyway I love how you compared the fanatics to a hoodie hell your right but I’d rather have a hoodie over that breakaway jersey. I wouldn’t give 50 for one and definitely not 150! I’d buy a long sleeve T-shirt before I’d buy one. I hope they give us something that blows our minds and we’re like adidas who? But I’m not very optimistic

I’ve seen a lot in the hockey jersey community hate on this due to the Breakaway collection that is currently available, but these are replica jerseys as you’ve stated. They are not meant to be perfect. Fanatics is going to have authentics available once they make the on-ice jerseys. All leagues sell authentics. They don’t now because Adidas has the rights to make them. A lot are complaining without seeing one authentic Fanatics jersey made…I also notice a lot complaining about the breakaway line, yet they own them 😉 I’m not a hockey jersey collector alone…I collect baseball, football & basketball too and there is always trepidation with something new in the jersey world. But, I always wait to see the product in hand before passing judgement and feel judging now based on a replica line is unfair. Quality will be better I’m sure for the authentics. We just have to wait and see.

You showed a Climalite jersey. The prime green jerseys are even more detailed. Now, the fanatics jersey that you showed is a replica. They have never said it was authentic. So, until we see authentic jerseys made by fanatics, we should hold judgment.

A jersey from China is not better than a Fanatics jerseys. I have few Fanatics jerseys. I don't wash them in regular wash,I wash it in the gentle/delicate cycle.

When someone sent me a message on Instagram Tuesday morning I thought it was a joke but now I know it was real this is what we didn't what the NHL to choose and go with Fanatics to me the NHL should stick with Adidas

I hoping that the NHL would go to Nike because the other Pro Sports league have them or either CCM

The NHL made a mistake of going to Fanatics

I think Fanatics are going to step it up Big Time with Top of the Line jerseys.

Expensive Adidas and the cheaper online version aren’t the same. Shocker.

I compare it like this. The Adidas jersey is like experiencing fine dining. The fanatics jersey is having fast food at fine dining prices.

I loved CCM when i was growing up. I quit buying during the reebok yrs as well, i hated them. The only Reeboks i bought & still do are the outdoor games & alternates, only because those are jerseys that didn’t stick around..i know Columbus’s Cannon jersey is still going..how can it not? Adidas are a very close 2nd to CCM for me. Prime Green logos are just unmatched!!
I know Adidas jerseys have issues, but overall they’ve done an unbelievable job. I saw a fanatics jersey at a local Dick’s sporting goods store here in the Pittsburgh area a while back and holy crap i could NOT believe how shitty they are. The logos are an absolute abomination. How can anyone pay that much money for that crap? Fanatics really really need to step up their jersey game if they think i’m buying them. Something tells me no matter how good or bad they might be i have a feeling they’ll cost over $200..as of right now, my jersey collecting will be on hold again like it was during reebok. Again i may only get the specialty jerseys.

I am a hockey jerseys fan and collector and I’m mad 😡. We need adidas or Reebok to resign

I'm so sad 😢

Honestly Jordan would have been a better choice

Hot take:
Fanatics replica<Adidas Indo "authentic"<<<<<<<MiC Adidas.
I don't see much of a difference between the Fanatics and the Adidas "authentics" other than the cheap fight strap and a better crest.

I was hardcore wanting CCM back

I am hopeful that the fanatics authentic jerseys will be alright, the breakaways are supposed to be cheaper but they are crap

ADIDAS IS BETTER. Plain and simple

Fanatics doesn't use twill. They just slap on some low quality synthetic or vinyl material. Mark it up a lot more than it should be. And laugh all the way to the bank when someone buys them.

I feel like the true insulting part about all this is the price of the fanatics jerseys. If these were under $100 then I’d be perfectly okay with it. The sweatshirts they make are better quality for the same price

i'm waiting for the day that a player has a logo fall off. i just got a ten year reprieve on buying nhl jerseys.

They will absolutely not be upgrading the fake jerseys for public sale. All they will do is mark the price up.

100% agree, we the fans are getting screwed. The NHL is getting big money for this deal and us the fans who put the money in the owners pockets are the one who will suffer.

Ordered an adidas jersey yesterday fuck the NHL I say we all boycott the shop website buy used on marketplace and eBay retro stuff looks better anyway they wanna save money let’s make em pay!!!!

Wish my company gave us a 10 years contract! 🥴

No comparison. Fanatics is CRAP.... And expensive one.

Fanatics jerseys team logos looks like the patches I use to use to customize jerseys at MSG.

I mean it's simple. If we mostly all stop buying Jerseys and complain about what we want for them, then fanatics will have to listen. Money talks. If you want a better product, don't buy the shitty ones. I know it's like a "well duh" moment, but some people forget that's what makes companies realize nowadays. Don't buy what you don't want.

Best way to describe it is a company liking profit over value

Not gunna lie at first glance I thought the fanatics jersey looked better 😅 close up tho different story

Everyone gutta eat give em a chance

I personally don't hate the fanatics jerseys solely because on the used market, they are a hell of a lot cheaper to pickup. I have two Adidas ones that I paid good money for and wear to games etc and then I have a fanatics one I wear almost more like a hoodie.

What did you have against the Reebok jerseys? I live the Oilers Reebok jersey. Only issue I have is maybe the stitching frays a bit with some wear, that’s it

Just saw a fanatics in person for the first time. Could not believe how awful that is for what they charge, I really don’t think if they continue with that trash they will sell very many

The fanatics ones are way better lol😂

too bad I didn't see this video before buying a fanatic jersey (+ shipping all the way to europe)

I don’t mind the feel of the fanatics jerseys, in fact I prefer them for everyday wear, however the price is outrageous. If these were $90 I would 100% support them.

oh. well I'm not a jersey purist and I like having something for comfort so I'll get the fanatics :D Just buying to support the Kraken and get both colors!

Thank god I bought the Adidas jersey this season before it get discontinued or the prices soar online

I’m not really a jersey collector. Prior to this summer, I owned a couple CCM jerseys and an Adidas jersey. I’ve since purchased 5 Adidas jerseys this summer before they all disappear! 😂 Fanatics feels like a notch below DHgate knockoffs.
