At the end of last season, the National Hockey League announced that they would be ending their partnership with ADIDAS and looking for a new partnership.

This morning the NHL officially announced their new partnership .

Fans have not reacted to this partnership the way the NHL had hoped. We are a firm believer that the NHL does everything they can to make our league the best in the world, and they had everyone's best interest at heart when they announced this partnership, but fans have been quick to point out the flaws:

While we have personally never purchased a product from Fanatics, fans have been expressing their disappointment online quite a bit with the NHL's choice:

Biggest yikes of a choice the league could have made, by far� Jake Lahut (@JakeLahut) March 21, 2023

Just read the responses to this announcement. What a disappointment. Get ready for a drought in jersey sales.� BIHRLE (@BIHRLE) March 21, 2023

We at House of Hockey will always give businesses the benefit of the doubt, and let's hope Fanatics delivers the best quality jerseys that the National Hockey League and fans have seen yet!
