Default Fanatics breakaway jerseys

Anyone else try these things on? I guess. Fanatics is a brand? I loved the look and fit, and the material was a lot more comfortable to wear than the authentic or pros.

Purists won't like them but I would have got one over the Adizero last year but they weren't available in the retro. I agree, they are lighter and a better fit and way cheaper.

I bought a Tkachuk one at what I thought was a solid price online before looking up reviews and noticed how many bad reviews they had. I then went to the website and read up on how they are actually made and branded to not be your typical authentic made Jersey with a hard crest which is what a lot of the complaints and bad reviews complained about. I decided to wait for it with an open mind and as soon as I put it on I’ve been pleasantly surprised! Helps me keep my authentic jersey’s cleaner and more solid and my breakaway Tkachuk has become my main game jersey because it’s so comfortable to lounge in!

The quality on the Fanatics jerseys is garbage. And that's pretty much by design. You can pay twice as much for a pro that will last 4 times longer, or you can get Fanatics crap that might last 18 months.

Just on the level of comfort I disagree strongly. The fanatics jersey feels way more comfortable and fits much better than the pros.

I've been pretty disappointed over the years with the quality of top level fan gear from the NHL and NFL. I don't have any issues with fans that would rather not pay the extremely high prices if less costly alternatives are available.

I got a Jagr crested Fanatics Flames jersey when he signed with the team. I wore it quite a bit that year, and I've since relegated it to wearing when I play hockey. It has held up quite nicely actually. Quality is fine.

Honestly I love the fit of the almost authentic Adidas jerseys. I guess it’s the shape of my body but they make me look about 10lbs lighter and they’re comfortable to wear.

I much prefer them to the old Reeboks jerseys.

Haven’t tried the Fanatics one yet but I’m a bit of a purist. I like to get the best available quality. Not into buying game worn jerseys though, that has always grossed me out.
