Fans furious over the price of the new NHL Fanatics jerseys
Fanatics has officially released the prices for their new NHL jerseys, and fans are furious over the high costs.
The NHL and Fanatics unveiled a new collection of jerseys for the 2024-25 season, promising a premium product for hockey fans. However, many fans feel the product doesn't live up to the price tag. The highlight of the collection is the Fanatics Authentic Pro jersey, the same version worn by NHL players on the ice, which fans can now buy for the first time in a decade. This launch comes as Fanatics becomes the official jersey maker for the league.
The jerseys are available online and in stores across the U.S. and Canada, including NHLShop.com, Fanatics.com, and NHL team stores. The collection includes four categories: Authentic Pro, Premium, Breakaway, and Practice jerseys. The Authentic Pro is the most accurate replica of what the players wear, while the Premium jersey offers a similar design but with a lighter fit. The Breakaway jersey focuses on casual comfort with breathable fabric, and the Practice jersey has a redesigned crest.
Prices range from $120 for the Practice jersey to a whopping $425 for the Authentic Pro, all in U.S. dollars. Fans have taken to social media to express their outrage over these steep prices.
In creating the jerseys, Fanatics worked closely with NHL players, team executives, and the NHL Players' Association to ensure the jerseys would meet the needs of both players and fans. While players were impressed with the improved design of the Authentic Pro jerseys, fans are still debating whether the quality justifies the cost.
As the NHL and Fanatics continue their partnership for the next decade, this new line of jerseys is meant to bring the on-ice experience closer to fans-though the high prices are sparking major debate.
