If the Nordiques rebranded to the husky jersey and stuck around, I think they'd be my #2 team on jersey alone. That logo design rules, and the colours are great too.
The nordiques jersey he has is the wrong colors,.The real ones are blue and teal. Look it up
The husky Jersey is 11/10! Real sick!
So happy I finished my collection of Adidas authentics before the Fanatics takeover. You inspired me to collect one authentic of all 32 teams and I achieved it for a great price. Tips, Ebay after players get traded. I got a probably 10/32 jerseys under $50 authentic with tags from traded players. Probably done for now outside of Sabres jerseys because they’re my team
LOL you're never finished.
@@jfayiii I won’t buy from Fanatics so as long as they’re the provider I’m out
I don't usually comment, but I just wanted to throw my support behind a jersey dive video. Always enjoy these.
I’ve dealt with Ben on multiple occasions and I have nothing but good things to say
Thank you and your wife for the jersey fixing video it helped me a lot. Great content
I know nothing about hockey jerseys…but this was such a fascinating video
This was such a nerdy deep dive. Great video.
An excellent breakdown from suppliers to wholesalers to vintage specialists. Especially loved the example of the close Pens WC fakes; they're everywhere. Much respect from one Starter Fashion jersey collector to another!
I got myself a 2005 CCM Crosby black home jersey off of eBay for $50 which was in amazing condition and looked brand new. I absolutely love it this was the design the penguins had when I was a kid I couldn't be happier. I didn't know I could find a class jersey like that on eBay til I saw your videos so thank you!!! :)
Reebok took over that year. So yours must be from the year before.
@@fantasticvoyage262 oh okay good to know I just know it's the design they had from 2002-2007 :)
Love the jersey videos. Keep then coming!
I have been saving money since last year for when they put the Adidas stock on sale. No way I risk it with Fanatics😂
It's so funny when people say "I don't care" about videos like these. I don't follow other teams than Tampa and sometimes Seattle. Guess which game review videos I don't watch lol. If I don't want a video, I don't watch it. For those of us who LIKE jersey videos, this is cool.
Jay Leno is a car collector, and he drives all of his cars. So why should you wearing your jersey's be considered a no-no?
I enjoy the jersey videos, i wouldn't know about a lot of the jerseys without them. Can't afford such a collection myself, but i've been inspired to get one jeresy for each team. Great to see whats in your collection, helps me decide what to look for.
there's always fullmoonjerseys if you still haven't bought an Andrew Shaw Blackhawks jersey
One of your better videos. Loved it!
Great video Shannon!
So informative!!
No lie, someday you’ll be in the hockey hall of fame for helping grow the game/culture
Great information. Helpful warnings and awesome tips. Like the Manitoba Moose T!
As long as authentic jerseys are exactly what the players are wearing and decent quality so we can readily buy actually authentic blank jerseys sounds good to me
I can say I bought an Islanders fisherman jersey when it came out, and I still have it today. Not in the greatest condition since I wore it while playing goal in street hockey, but that’s one I would never get rid of.
I have both the home & away Fisherman jerseys, purchased when they first came out. I loved the jersey design, but find the logo goofy. I would have loved to have gotten the version with the original Islanders logo, but I never saw it for sale anywhere.
As per USPTO register, the unused husky logo trademarks have been abandoned by the last owner (Nordiques).
Even the WWE Shop is Fanatics now. That sucks so much.
I picked up a moose jersey and nice aboriginal design jets hat at the moose game on Sunday. I love the Moose jersey design.
47Brand also has a good assortment of shirts and hats
great look brother thx so much
If the nordiques return they should use that wolf logo as an alternate logo, like what the Canucks do with the skate jersey
Love the jacket, Shannon.
saw on another channel there was a leak of a fanatics catalogue...apparently they will have the on ice jerseys for $425 USD, the premium jersey for $180 US and then the breakaway jersey (which is basically the current fanatics) for $135 US
If it's 425$ with a nameplate, that's honestly not terrible. I live in the Bay Area, California, I used to get my authentic Reebok's from HockeyX (sadly closed during covid) and they were 299$ blank, plus 59$ for a name/number. With as bad as inflation is here. 425 isn't much more then 360.
I have a Devils Henrique jersey done through Hockey Authentic and the jersey looks fantastic still to this day.
Very informative
Very interesting video!
Fantastic video
Wow! You gotta love that jacket!
Thank you for the info I certainly learned a lot. I have saved this episode for future use. Bill from South Florida
So in 1989 I bought a signed Bobby Hull Jersey at the Winnipeg Arena, on the night they retired his number.
They sold 40 signed jerseys at $40 a pop.
It's the white WHA one, which is now their white heritage.
Now I'm thinking what the heck would it have been called in 1989, retro? Replica?Nobody was using the term that I remember back then.
Embroidered crest with iron or pressed number,name and CCM logo.
All I know is you'll never find a signed jersey today for $40, even adjusted for inflation 😂
Great to hear.
You can tell the word-mark logos on the OG Penguins jerseys are different.
I have a Lokomotiv jersey from the KHL, bought it a few years ago and it was second hand / a few years old at rhe time. It is fully sublimated, logos, ads, and all. I found that interesting.
I’ve noticed the Nashville name plates at the arena store are sublimated. First time I’ve seen it
CCM & KOHO jerseys from back in the day are still my favorite.
Love team stores. Really wish the Wings had one that had an online storefront or was at least open outside of game day.
I got a Detroit Vipers jersey from Royal Retros and I love it. Couldn't be happier.
I'm glad you posted this as recently I've been looking onto a specific type of repair and I don't know the names of the materials or if they're available. I have a couple of Gretzky Jerseys that belonged to my sister and she didn't like that the crests and the numbers were stiff as she wore them as PJ shirts , so she went in and cut out all of the backing material behind the logos and numbers , now theyre wrinkling .. I'm wondering if that particular material is available and if anyone might know how to go about doing this fix?
Coming from a baseball fan, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride with Fanatics
Baseball and basketball jerseys are shit, limited players in limited sizes. Havent seen a giants city connect in 3X, can only find MLB authentics generally in 52, except sometimes certain players will be 56
I don’t think Shannon understands how much I love his jersey videos
Cool looking jacket , looks nice 👍👍👍
Holy crap that Nordiques rebrand is fantastic!
It gave me minor league vibes
Love this video
Pulled the trigger on an order from hockey authentic, and it is def worth it. Getting one or two is pretty reasonable for how nice they are ^-^
Thrift Stores can also be a good place to find jerseys for a decent price.
The only problem is sizing, sometimes jerseys are way too big or way too small
I remember seeing those blue starter flyers jerseys 25 years ago in department stores around Philly and thinking; who would ever buy that.
Surprised you didn’t talk about Koho in this video.
Love that Nordiques jersey. You got any from the KHL?
I am definitely buying an Adidas Kraken jersey (hopefully it will be discounted) before they stop being sold because there is no way I am buying a Fanatics one, especially given all the problems in baseball currently with Fanatics made jerseys. When it comes to Adidas pulling out of the NHL contract, another reason why they are pulling out is because Adidas realizes that they can make a higher profit (at least in North America) off of three things: all soccer related products (especially with the 2026 World Cup being held in North America of which Adidas is a major sponsor), endorsement deals with US colleges & Adidas Originals products like the Superstar shoes.
In Canada and Mexico, I'm sure soccer sells well. I doubt they make very much money on Soccer in the States
For the Nordiques husky jersey, supposedly there are officials who were handed over to members of the press during a press conference to announce the branding change.
I had that dual blue Starter Flyers back in the day. Got motor oil on the sleeve... sad.
I remember seeing a random kid wearing that powder blue Avs jersey back in the late 90s when I was warming the bench in high school football 😅.
They did recently post their catalog for the stores and from the Vids I saw they have 3 tiers and the practice jerseys/ throwbacks. Outside the MiC's it looks like everything is similarly priced.
You are producing a lot of content... Keep it up!
Not sure if any others do it but the Hurricanes at Arena team store lets you bring in jerseys and they ship it off somewhere and get it stitched
Ordered a Leetch jersey from cool hockey was amazing just sent my reverse retro and stadium series jersey to do
Answered my question on where to get name and numbers put on, thank you!
I saw your comment on his last video and then saw this video and was literally about to go to the last video and message you but I see you already saw it 😂
Very interesting video
Awesome video.
I bought an Islanders fisherman pro when it first came out, then got the old logo pro on the wave jersey the next season and love them. Also got a kachina Coyotes starter pro at a value city store, a long time ago, for $50.
Still trying to get a Bruins jersey cheap. The one I really want, a Winter's claasic, is impossible for me to tell a fake from real.
The fakes usually have a shiny black inner neckline. Sloppy stitching. And the materials in the logo, names, and numbers is poor quality. And the shield is wrong.
GOOD VIDEO. A few things before I get into the hockey side of this: 1) I thought Adidas made great NBA jerseys, 2) Nike has done the multiple tiers of NFL jerseys, 3) if the players are wearing brand "X", if I but a jersey I want brand "X". I really have to wonder what is up with Adidas though, they dipped on the NBA contract, they have now dipped on the NHL contract, and in some cases, they are operating shady with US universities on their apparel deals too. I don't do knockoffs. I sale hunt and very rarely buy retail straight up. But I remember that tiered Reebok era and and that is kind of what Nike is doing with the NFL and NBA. An entry level screen print jersey, a mid-tier stitch hybrid, and then an on-field/court version. What I dislike about what Nike is doing now, at least with the NFL jerseys, is that mid-tier used to be stitch, just the jersey wasn't the same--it was their normal jersey, whereas the most expensive one was the materials used for the on-field one. At that top price point, those are too expensive for me to buy, but I have found that lower-tier Reebok and the Adidas for NHL jerseys to meet my price point needs for quality. The Fanatics stuff just isn't the quality I'd spend on, and the price difference is worth it to have the brand the players wear. I am very tempted to save up some major cash to get get any Adidas jerseys before they're gone and my only option is Fanatics, but their branded apparel leaves a lot to be desired.
Funny you mention team stores, for the Rangers, their store does offer some miscellaneous items that i may not see in fanatics. The only down side about the msg online store is that sometimes price on higher end like the Stadium Series jersey being 50 dollars more expensive than fanatics website.
Whatever the direction jerseys go, I'm happy I have mine. I bought two bruins jerseys in my life so far. bruins men in black and the winter classic 2016 one (starting to see a pattern, eh? love black jerseys.)
Jets Fan: Shannon rocks that Jacket.
I buy the odd fake jersey now and then if it's a jersey I really want and there's no other way to get it. More than likely I'm the only one who knows it's a fake and there's no jersey police who will arrest me for wearing one. One thing I'm able to do is buy blank jerseys of the Blue Jackets and take them to the team store and have them customized. By doing this i can make a $300 jersey a $125 jersey.
The Canes just did that limited edition Chaos jersey last week.
I really want to get a WASAC Jets jersey, but everytime i see one in person the poor quality of the patches scares me off.
I've gotten into getting reebok MiC based practice jerseys of late... doesn't have to be a main key player as much as just to enjoy a high quality look into the collection (and save a few $$ too).
From what I have heard so far is the throwback jerseys are just gonna be those low quality material with no embroidered logos just those breakaway style logos or the single layer printed vinyl garbage if fanatics would do the throwback vintage line like CCM made them or even like the Adidas team classics I think they'd fly off the shelves
just picked up a white kachina from ben today, had to get one before they go away.
How do the sizes of Royal Retros compare to the Adidas Primegreens? I've been debating getting some of those, but am not sure what size to order.
I have seen some sublimated NHL jerseys by the name brand off Above Ordinary, made in China but they're really pretty neat with their giant logos and such.
That red rangers jersey sounds great
I love it when you reference the Dick's super discount you got. That story is hilarious!
Would Quebec wear those jerseys if that got the team back?
I'm looking to replace my Joe Sakic Colorado Avalanche Jersey. Any suggestions on where to look?
Is the Toronto "Blackout" jersey available to buy somewhere? Can't find it. BTW, do you own a IHL San Francisco Spiders jersey. Those were awesome and are really hard to find. Many of the IHL jerseys were pretty cool.
For old and/or oddball hockey and soccer jerseys sometimes VV boutique have some diamonds in the rough lol
The infamous Quebec husky wolf jersey. I think the University of Connecticut has that logo now the wolf husky.
The Fanatics jerseys are so bad that you can tell how trash they look compared to Adidas just by the pics on their website alone.
I just looked up the nordiques jersey on royal retros and the colors are different. How did you get it in though colors?
I have been more and more (dumping and) changing in to collecting personal significance over quantity. That way new jersey(s) feel that much (dominic) m(o)ore special to me. Plus they started to invade lots of (Jaroslav) space(k)
So I find the sublimated jerseys interesting when you showed the PWHL one. I have 2 ECHL Athletic Knit jerseys that are a combo of sublimated and stitched/heat press logos.
I wonder if that could be something that Fanatics looks at?
I also have a Geeky Jersey that isn't sublimated but is all stitched... so maybe there are differences in some of the ones that they sell?
I have that red rangers liberty starter jersey. It's the crown jewel of my collection.
i sometimes click on a vidja i might not like.
cuz i might have changed my mind about something .
i only collect habs and expos things .
not to look at ,but to use everyday .
i did collect comics and video games .that if i still had today would be worth hundreds of thousands . so i understand the value of collecting . wish i still had my book collection too .
but floods can sometimes put the kiabosh on collecting . water seems to have an adverse effect on that . kitchen fires as well . thats why im always going on about how much insurance you have and the coverage .
when i respond to one of your vidjas on this subject :P
gohabsgo
Have you checked out Detroit Vintage? I hear great things about them. I'm getting ready to look into it too. Just putting out there Shannon
Over here in Europe, the Fanatics / NHL / Lids triplets are just so dumb. Different level of sale discount, different prices (Lids for example has Shark fin for £143, whereas it is £173 on the other 2) and the NHL one seems to charge fees and import duty which the other 2 do not. So you just have to try to mix and match and find what you want at the cheapest price as at the back end, yep same 2 warehouses in New York state or Utah. Madness!
Do you think the Caps will have a new jersey next year for their 50th anniversary?
Since we are talking about kitted jerseys, would love to hear your opinion on customizing vintage jerseys? Have a few that I am definitely going to do it to, but would love to hear your thoughts!
Since Jersey had Jersey jerseys, do the Caps have Caps caps?
I always enjoy watching your jersey videos. Thanks for showing the fake Pittsburgh jersey side-by-side with the official one. I wouldn't mind seeing a video that focused on fake jerseys vs official versions. To the untrained eye, it might be difficult to spot the differences if they don't see the real thing for reference.
I have a recommendation - I've bought four jerseys through Rebound Jerseys in the last week. Ben H is on there and sometimes he has better prices there rather than on eBay. I plan to keep scrubbing through there and finding others to add to my collection.
Dammit, i'm now stuck down the rabbit hole on that site! Curse you!
Adidas lets you stack discounts?
My favorite jersey is a "Hockey Night in Canada" from CBC,. Bought at their studios in Toronto.
How did you get to their studio?
@@fantasticvoyage262 Their building is not that far from the Hockey Hall of Fame. They have a souvenir shop inside the main entrance. (at least it used to be, many years ago. Not sure if it's still there.) I wasn't in their actual filming studio...
@@rrl4245 Very neat. I bought a Hockey Night In Canada knit hat. But I didn't get it from there.
@@fantasticvoyage262 Yup, when I wear it to a game, the REAL fans love it.
@@rrl4245 I've seen some on eBay. I thought about getting one. I want one of those Hockey Night In Canada embroidered towels too.
Sam’s club has fanatics gift cards at a 20% off rate it’s like $79.99 for a $100 gift card. They seem to be sold out online but they have them in my local store.
