- They will be using the same factory that the current Adidas jerseys are produced. The Fanatics version will be “almost indiscernible” from the current Adidas jersey.

- We won’t see major design changes until 26-27. Even then they are just hoping to update materials to include better protection against skate lacerations.

- Fanatics has been producing on field MLB jerseys since 2017

- Fanatics produces authentic NFL jerseys (although sold with a nike logo)

- Fanatics was originally brought on to create a cheaper (worse) version of the authentic jerseys to give fans more options for purchasing.

I have no worries about them taking over.
All of those products you listed have had major issues. Fanatics is absolutely a terrible move for the NHL. Their quality control is beyond awful and their customer service is some of the worst I’ve ever experienced.

I vowed never to order from their garbage site ever again and will continue that. What a brutal company and an embarrassing move for the NHL.
