Hockey fans are decidedly passionate about the traditional aspects of the sport, and any decline in the quality of the jerseys means a probable lessening of the heritage of the game. While Fanatics has promised to maintain high standards and work closely with the NHL to ensure quality control, there is a degree of skepticism. These new jerseys are awaited by the fans to see
if Fanatics can live up to the hype and the high standards set by previous manufacturers, however, if Matty Beniers' jersey is any indication, it's going to be a horribly long season for NHL fans.
