The authentic pros are literally the made in Canada by the same factory that has done the players jerseys. There will not be issues with quality control. The issue you mentioned were with the Indo made/Premium jerseys that Adidas and Fanatics has/had for sale. Some videos have already shown the inconsistencies with the Premium jersey made by Fanatics. They are mass produced and there will be some issues unfortunately. Whereas the Made In Canada are tailored to be the best quality jersey available and quality control will always be paramount.
I appreciate the comment. Nothing is ever 100 percent flawless. These new Authentic Pros are not going to be flawless. There is a better chance of flaws and mistakes being caught before they leave the factory and warehouses, absolutely. But there is no absolute when it comes to quality control. Every league and their authentic jerseys have mistakes, but more times than not, they are caught before the teams and players receive the jerseys. It happens.
@@Tulsa2SeattleProductions fair point. Team issued jerseys are typically handmade in onshore/nearshore production facilities. There’s less QC issues, but they’re still not perfect. Slanted patches/logos that are not perfectly center is fairly common. Numbers are often customized by a subcontractor, and while they do a better job than a retail jersey, there’s still the occasional crooked number or off-center stitching.
@@jerseyhead.u Absolutely. I appreciate the comment. It's definitely one of those things and a conversation that can go down so many different twists and turns. I think too, you also add in the fact, you now have one company in charge of manufacturing and distribution for all 4 major sports. They have a lot on their plate, and in some instances, it feels like there might be too much for them to try and do. Mistakes are going to happen.
Do you know if the custom versions of the authentic pros they are offering now online will be fully embroidered letters and numbers? NHL I know can be weird about custom. Should be pro stitched for the price!
Yes, I believe they should be full embroidered letters and numbers. Everything should be stitched on the Authentic Pros. I know the Premiums have been mixed. I have received both the Authentic Pro and Premium from Fanatics and everything was stitched on both. I have heard going through Team Stores, a lot of the Premiums have only been heat pressed, which is awful. They had this problem with Adidas as well. Definitely makes you question why not just have them done before distribution to team stores and retailers. Makes zero sense. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Thanks for watching. Pricing hasn't really changed from the previous few years. The on ice jerseys were not made available at retail since Reebok was the manufacturer. The price is pretty much on par with what you would pay to get the jerseys the season's prior from the team if they were made available. Highest quality jerseys demand the higher price points. I do agree, like everything else, I would be nice if they were a little lower in price. I do think people would love to see these right around $300 USD for the on ice, but likely never gonna happen.
I did a lot of things. I tried to explain some of it in my very first video I posted on this channel. I have met with representatives multiple times this year, provided feedback to them to help make their products better. And they have sent over a few jerseys to allow me to do product reviews on. Easiest way for me to describe it.
man that jersey looks good!
It's fantastic! Thanks for watching!
That’s the highest quality looking Fanatics item I’ve ever seen.
100 percent! It's really solid!

My team store already has the top and middle tier marked down.
That's interesting. Which team store is it?
Thank you for watching!
@Tulsa2SeattleProductions Blues.
What did you do for them to send you a free jersey!?
