I ended up getting a custom Authentic Pro when Fanatics released them on their site. Anxiously waiting to see it in person so I can gauge the accuracy of the customization 🤣🤣. Reportedly Fanatics uses CoolHockey, and word on the street is they’re hit or miss in terms of quality 😬
Yep! So when I received the Bedard Authentic Pro Home Jersey from Fanatics, it came shipped from Silver Crystal Group, which is the parent company for CoolHockey. I would be curious to see if anyone else who has received one of these from Fanatics, where it came from. I have that Bedard and a Patrick Kane Away Primegreen Indo that I had ordered from CoolHockey, and the quality on both was just fine. I didn't notice any issues with the customization on either. Thanks for watching!
@ it’s good your experience was positive! Yeah I heard CoolHockey is a subsidiary of Silver Crystal, that was a red flag for me. The work they’ve done on NFL jerseys got quite a bit of not-so-good feedback. Their method of applying the numbers is different than how teams normally do it, and they’ve even messed up the colors on some orders (e.g. using black for the Lions instead of gray). Of course Fanatics outsources the work to them, so the issue falls more on the customizer. Still though, never too late to change subcontractors 🙃
@@jerseyhead.u Oh interesting! I didn't know that about SCG. I don't have much info or experience with the NFL outside of the fan gear. I need to go watch your vids on the NFL stuff. Your hockey stuff is great and provides a ton of info. I bet the NFL videos are no different. Thanks!
@ appreciate it, glad you find it valuable! Yeah SCG doesn’t have a particularly good reputation among NFL jersey collectors. I’ve done custom jerseys on rare occasions when the player I want isn’t available, but it’s sort of a last resort for me. Even with better customizers you still have to research, as some are better with certain sports. CSL is a top choice for Blackhawks jerseys because they do the actual team jerseys, but I wouldn’t go there to get a Bears jersey done 😬
Keep killing it!
Thank you for watching and the support! I appreciate it!
