The twill lettering is much better than the vinyl lettering on jerseys.

Good video, thank you! In 'soccer' Adidas began making cost cutting measures like this in the mid 2000s. I recall that 2002 was the first time 'player issue' versus 'replica' became a widely-available retail option, and within just a couple of years it was the case that the nearly-double-the-price 'player issue' shirts weren't the same as what players wore! Shocking to see it in hockey where fans are paying even more insane prices.

NHL Adidas are total garbage....should have never been allowed to market that trash

Ya, the first time I saw those in person at a mall in San Jose a few years ago I was convinced that the store was selling fake merchandise. I then realized that this is how Adidas sells their authentics, with that single stitched vinyl or whatever it's called crap. It's honestly criminal that they do that and market it as "authentic". Definitely needs to be more said about this. What I would say for anyone out there, buy the jersey blank and get the lettering done somewhere. If you're a Sharks fan in the Bay Area, I would recommend either buying the jersey at the SAP center in person so you can see it or ordering blank and then bringing it to the team store at SAP where you can have them get the authentic lettering done for you.

I have noticed on all newer jerseys, esp baseball, they are using painted or color screened vinyl instead of embroider now b/c it cheaper to manufacture. I noticed the Blackhawks shoulder patches on the Rebooks are that way, they used to be stitched. Everything new now is all junk looking and charging the same prices or higher. When I go looking, I hunt for the old school shirts, CCM if possible. They are the best quality and fit jerseys ever

Yeah $249 for single layer vinyl is a rip-off. The Kraken Team Store, while they do heat-pressed the jerseys in-store, at least use double-stacked twill for $269. They look okay visually, and I have Beniers and Gourde home jerseys made in-store, but I also have blanks in both home and road that I plan to get them hand-stitched at Seattle Tackle Twill Lettering, the company that the team officially uses for their on-ice jerseys.

Yeah that is one bad thing about the Adidas jerseys with the pre stitched numbers. That's why I rarely buy them pre stitched. You're almost always better off getting the blanks and sending it in to get it stitched professionally (cool hockey and other websites or local places like that). But yeah it sucks that they retail for around $225 $230 or so and that's the quality we get.

None of these are "authentic". They're all replicas because they're not on-ice quality. Don't let the false marketing fool you. What you're looking at is factory vinyl customization when what you're wanting is handstitched twill.

Yup. The only Adidas authentic I have with customization is a Hawks Toews and it’s the same garbage quality. Thankfully I only paid $50 because it was a clearance climalite with the toilet bowl neckline. You can get the higher quality names and numbers, but they cost more. If I ever want that, I’d go with a shop like Hockey Authentic.

Having options are ALWAYS great to have. My issue are the price point and misleading quality that is being advertised.

Hello, it's actually quite simple. I have more than 20 jerseys made by Adidas. 2 MIC. The Jerseys which have a lower quality for the numbers are the jerseys of the 1st version of Adidas made in 2017. The Adizero which have the plastic Adidas "pods" in the bottom of the jersey. The most recent version, the Primegreens are practically perfect! If the numbers have more than one color applied, the different layers are double sewn. Well beyond the quality of the numbers, the quality of the logos is the day and the night between a Fanatics and an Adidas! There really is a lot of detail in the authentic Adidas logos. Especially for the Blackhawks Jersey! For the Primegreen versions Adidas redid the team logos to create a 3d effect. That's wonderful! The material of the Jersey is not the same between an Authentic Adidas and a Fanatic. Adidas is a material that looks like a hockey jersey for those who have already played ice hockey. The logos between a MIC and an Adidas there is no difference. Not in the versions I have at least. MIC are only available at auction. Otherwise the MIC are thicker. There are resistance seams at the elbows too. The MIC are not comfortable . I have CCM, Koho, Reebok and Starter Hockey Jerseys. Adidas are by far the best quality Jerseys! It is true that the Adidas Authentics are not the same as those worn by the players. But the price is $200 Canadian. The Reebok MIC was on sale for $400! the version that was found just after the Jersey MIC was also priced at 200 when they were manufactured by Reebok and the quality is lower than Adidas. I put some Adidas "Authentics" to play hockey and I have no problem! they are resistant, they breathe well and do not retain perspiration.

Very sad!

Only MiC (made in Canada jerseys) are truly authentic. Anything from retail like adidas "authentic", prime green, or fanatics brand are all made in Indonesia. Made in Indonesia, even though they are called authentic.......are really not authentic. If you want the closest to what the players wear on the ice, they must be MiC (made in Canada). Very expensive if you buy MiC, but well worth it.

Those should not be called authentic’s if it not the spec’s or quality that the players wear on the ice than it should be called fan gear (hockey pads don’t even fit with these jerseys) it’s a shame that the market has turn to this and people buy this junk

When ever I want an authentic fight jersey (the one with the strap on it) only Reebok made then . Long Live Reebok . I’m a Bruins fan and Bergeron on the winter classic video even said it was too tight . That’s why I stay away from Adidas from any jersey.

The Blackhawks authentic 2019 winter Classic Adidas jersey was a high quality top notch jersey. If I recall correctly, when Adidas got first got the nhl license, the stitching on authentics was similar to Reeboks at first.

Reebok was my fave era of hockey followed by CCM!

as far as I'm concerned, Adidas jerseys are horrible junk to begin with. For starters, there sizes run a size smaller than Rebook. I bought a MacKinnon shirt, I have to order a 3XL size 60. in order for the pit to pit to fit me....then that makes the sleeves too damn long!! Secondly, the sleeves in general....they look like and actual shirt sleeve...they are so narrow compared to the Rebook/CCM where you have all kinds of pit and shoulder room to move in it. Thirdly, the neck line....what a mess. The V-neck on the old school shirts are so much easier to get over your head....these Adidas ones, its like a t-shirt, its too constricting around the neck. And speaking of the neck, the design of the trim around the neck, looks like an actual shirt collar in its looks. Look at the Penguins/Blackhawks for example....it looks like they have colored wing collars like a dress shirt or polo shirt. They are the worst design ever, and this Fanatics brand isn't mush better either. CCM/Starter/Rebook are a way more superior brand as far as design and comport are concerned
