BREAKING: The NHL Has Chosen Its New Jersey Provider
With the adidas era of NHL jerseys coming to an end, a new provider had to come into the equation. The NHL has made its decision, and fans aren't happy.
NHL Makes Disappointing Decision
The NHL has chosen Fanatics to be the jersey provider for NHL players.
This is disappointing news, as their subpar fan jerseys have been the subject of a lot of ridicule since they were released in 2017

Fanatics will replace Adidas as the NHL's outfitter of on-ice uniforms and authentic jerseys beginning after next season. The deal is signed through 2035.
There likely won't be any innovative design changes until 2026-27 at the earliest.
Fanatics has grown quite the bad reputation in recent years. With cheap materials, bad customer service and awful quality control, this would be most hockey fans' last choice.
It can basically be expected that the basic fan jerseys will get minor upgrades and be brought up to flagship jersey pricing.
Terrible decision by the league, and even worse commuting until 2035.
