JERSEYWATCH: First Look at Fanatics 2024 NHL Jerseys!

One thing I forgot to mention in this video is that for the last seven years, Fanatics has basically been contractually obligated to make a lower quality NHL replica jersey. This doesn’t account for misspelled names, wrong numbers, and upside down logos... but Adidas had the deal to make higher quality authentic jerseys. The Fanatics Breakaway product always had to be cheaper to buy and therefore cheaper to make. I’ll be curious to see what happens when Fanatics gets to make the entire line of NHL jerseys, including authentics, which is a high-priced product for hardcore fans. They can’t skimp there or they’ll get destroyed. And they know it.

I'm excited for Fanatics taking over, because that means my jersey-buying addiction will finally slow down😅

You can definitley guarantee Fanatics are gonna fuck this up so badly. I don’t understand why the NHL decided to give the jersey making to Fanatics. GIVE IT BACK TO CCM!

I look forward to McDavd in his number 79 fanatics Edmnnton Oiilers jersey! (the errors are a shot at Fanatics' lack of quality)

For people who collect rare jerseys, buy the Adidas version of the Tampa and NYR alternates now. They would have only worn them for half a season.

I'll wait to see them before I judge them. Given their history I'm kind of nervous, but when it comes to on-ice quality I don't think the NHL will settle for anything less than high quality so I wouldn't be surprised if the Fanatics authentics are great, but their replicas are still trash lol.

Underrated aspect of your videos is the sound design. Love the crackling ice sound effects

I'm still a little worried, i still don't trust fanatics ever since the shoulder "13" fell of of my Hayes flyers jersey

Unrelated to Fantatics, but funny enough when the Boston Bruins had their Eras Night honoring the 2011 Stanley Cup Champion team on March 7th, the players were wearing Reebok jerseys with the centennial logo stitched on the front. Was very interesting to see.

Always appreciative of how well you put these videos together.

I stocked up on Adidas and old school CCM, Gerry Cosby and Reebok jerseys to withstand the Fanatic era, I’m good:)

As a jersey fanatic myself, I really appreciate your channel. I have a collection of 42 jerseys, only Reeboks and Adidas (have had many Fanatics but got rid of them all). I'm nervous about the Fanatics takeover but hope they can surprise us. Thanks for the quality content!

ALWAYS excited to see an Icethetics video!

They won't care about ruining their reputation or they would have improved products already. They are close to a monoply and as long as they keep making money nothing else matters to them.

As always, a great video! 🙌🏻

You know a channel is good when you click on the video first AND THEN read what it's about.

Thank you Chris! Can't wait to see what you can share next!

Loved the video as always. You mentioned in the video that you are planning to do a prediction video for the 2025 outdoor games, which, as a Jackets fan I am very interested in. I idea that I have had for the Jackets since the game was announced is using a "shiny" silver color as the main color, similar to the color that the Kings are using on the sleeves and bottom of their current throwbacks, as the Jackets have used this color on their main jersey since their first season in the league, and I can't imagine a better opportunity to use it than now. In addition, the other two things I have thought of for the jersey are: 1, a C B J word mark as the main logo on the front of the jersey. And: 2, only using two colors on the jersey as has been the case with most home teams in the Stadium Series in recent years, with the two colors being used being the aforementioned "shiny" silver color as the main color with navy blue as the secondary color. Would love to know your opinion on these ideas. Thanks.

I’m sure Fanatics will understand that Anaheim is definitely, for realsies, gonna switch back to eggplant and jade permanently. And they will allow them to be the only team to do a redesign this coming season. 100% for sure, no takesies backsies, not a lie. Definitely correct.

They need to have some new teams in the winter classics. It's kinda dumb how they are already having rematches
