SALT LAKE CITY – It’s a new era for the official outfitter of the NHL’s on-ice uniforms as Fanatics signed a 10-year contract with the league this past spring to provide the best hockey players in the world with their authentic sweaters.
After giving some of the top stars in the game an opportunity to have a first look and officially debuting the new jerseys at the 2024 NHL draft, one can only wonder, when will the Utah Hockey Club sweaters be available for purchase?
A new era for fanatics & the NHL
For the last six years, Fanatics has been a primary outfitter for the NHL, producing the practice wear for players, coaches and staff. They also made the “replica” jerseys, providing fans with a cheaper alternative than the authentic Adidas uniforms. Additionally, Fanatics made special event gear for the Winter Classic Series and even produced the official Stanley Cup Champions locker room gear.
With such a solid foundation and productive partnership, it came as no surprise when the NHL announced the decade deal earlier this year. Since then, Fanatics has been focused on improving the sweaters but not changing too much about them after taking suggestions from players.
According to the National Hockey League, the changes will include an additional layer of fabric inside the lower sleeve to enhance durability and reduce wear from hits or rubbing against the boards.
They will also change the shoulder fabrics from the previous Adidas jerseys to replace the debossed pattern while adding a new hologram finished NHL crest to the front and their Fanatics branded crest to the back neckline.
