New Fanatics Branded On-Ice Product Debuted, With Little Changes Expected To The Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys
Fanatics, the new jersey partner for the NHL released a statement this morning about the on-ice product for the upcoming season. Per the tweet below from the Blue Jackets, it shows what the on-ice jersey is going to look like.
In the Fanatics press release, it lists the following changes:
- An additional layer of fabric inside the lower sleeve to enhance uniform durability intended to reduce material wear from sustained friction against the boards. This enhancement was the direct result of feedback from NHL players and equipment managers.
- New shoulder fabrics replacing the debossed pattern fabric used on the shoulders of the prior NHL jersey.
- A new NHL Shield execution on the front neck of the jersey which includes a special hologram finish.
- Fanatics branding embroidered on the back neck of jerseys.
There will also be a re-designed on-ice player practice jersey, "which now features an embroidered lightweight crest."
It's important to note that these are the ON-ICE versions and not the replicas that will be for sale to the public.
It also looks like the Blue Jackets will not be getting an overhaul to the look they've had since 2007. Some fans have been asking for a complete re-design, while others, like it the way it is.
