Swedish Bikini Team Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 (edited) On the plus side, retail authentic jerseys for fans will now be made in Canada at the same facility as the ones for the players (instead of Indonesia).

shrader Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 14 hours ago, Taro T said: Seriously, for all the true transgressions Fanatics has had and will have, you slag them for this? EVERY apparel manufacturer making hat for a championship series makes the hat in one of 3 colors - gray, white, or black and glues the team specific patch onto the hat. So that rather than having to destroy 1/2 of the hats they've made (or essentially give them away for pennies in a 3rd World country) they just reheat the hats with the losing team's logos on them and puts the winners on instead. Would expect that Nike was the originator of the practice, but maybe it was Reebok or Adidas. I just dug up my BU national champions hat from 2009 and it is the most generic thing I own. It has those same exact two shades of gray as the panther hat. It's sad really. Starving kids in Ethiopia don't get the loser hats anymore. I wonder if there will ever be any clearance of the adidas jerseys. I could use an authentic blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 I am not thrilled with Fanatics, and less thrilled about the 10 year deal. I have a long sleeve or two that are fine/good. But their hats fit funny and look cheap. I have Sabres jerseys from Koho, CCM, and Reebok, and Adidas. The Adidas jerseys blow them all away. The difference between a major athletic outfitter and cheap knock offs is huge these days. Performance wear has come a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your 1st point, those kids can still get shirts, they just don't get hats anymore. 😉 To your 2nd point, expecting there'll be a lot of clearance stuff available in the Sabres store when TC opens up. Might be a good time to let the little Shrader visit grandma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closeup of the seamstress working on the sweater shows one, but the photo of the full sweater on the mannequin doesn't seem to have it. Hopefully they keep it. That feature really makes the logo 'pop.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 Not a shot at fanatics cuz they didnt do it but the Sabres blue jersey desperately needs some yellow in or around the shoulders/collar area to break it up. It is too bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris is one of the biggest jersey snobs on Sabres Twitter, his words not mine, if he likes them they must be good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
