The 2024-2025 NHL season is getting ready to ramp up, as Fanatics takes over as the new partner to manufacture jerseys for the NHL.
The price point for an on-ice authentic jersey was revealed today, and it was an ugly one.
If fans want to own a piece of fabric, that is made for players on the ice, it'll be a price at $425 USD/$500 CAD.
David Pagnotta gave NHL fans an idea of the tiers of jerseys available and fans are irate:
While the practice jerseys and breakaway jerseys are affordable from $120-$135, it is the Authentic Pro which is $425 USD a pop.
These prices are ugly, and a result of Michael Rubin and Fanatics cornering another market in Sports Merchandising. They manufacture jerseys for the MLB and NFL and have had controversy at every step of the way.
So, it follows that they'd engage in price-gouging in the NHL.
Another example below from the Minnesota Wild's Hockey Lodge:
Reeboks' prices for the MiC and Indo-Edge jerseys were much, much more affordable dating back to 2013.
