If you have been shopping for a new NHL jersey lately, you might have noticed something different. Fanatics has completely revamped the jersey lineup for the 2025-2026 season, introducing a tiered system that gives fans more choices than ever before. Here is your definitive guide to understanding the three main levels of Fanatics NHL jerseys available right now.
The New Fanatics Jersey Lineup
Fanatics took over as the official on-ice and retail jersey partner of the NHL, and with that transition came a fresh approach to how jerseys are designed, manufactured, and priced. The new lineup features three primary tiers, each targeting a different type of fan.
1. Breakaway Jersey — Starting at $135 USD
The Breakaway is Fanatics’ entry-level jersey and the most affordable way to rep your team. Priced at $135 for a blank jersey or $175 with a custom name and number, the Breakaway offers solid quality at a fan-friendly price point. It features screen-printed graphics and a relaxed fit that is perfect for everyday wear. This is the jersey you grab when you want to show team pride without breaking the bank.
2. Premium Jersey — Starting at $180 USD
Stepping up to the Premium tier gets you noticeably better materials and construction. At $180 for blank and $225 customized, the Premium jersey features sewn-down tackle twill numbers and a more tailored fit. The fabric quality is closer to what you see on the ice, making this the sweet spot for fans who want an authentic look without the top-tier price tag.
3. Authentic Pro Jersey — $425 USD
This is the real deal. The Authentic Pro is cut, stitched, and assembled in the same Canadian factory in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec that has produced NHL on-ice jerseys for nearly 50 years. It features the exact specifications that players wear, including elevated fabrics, sewn-down multi-layered tackle twill, double-stitched elbows, a tie-down fight strap, and a holographic NHL Shield. At $425, it is a serious investment, but for collectors and hardcore fans, there is no substitute.
What About the Practice Jersey?
Fanatics also offers a Practice-tier jersey at $120 USD, which is a lightweight, training-style jersey. It is a great option for fans who want a casual, athletic look or a budget-friendly gift.
Where to Buy
All four jersey tiers are available now across the Fanatics network, including NHL Shop (shop.nhl.com), Fanatics.com, team-specific online stores, and major retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods and Lids. With all 32 teams represented across every tier, there is something for every fan and every budget.
The Bottom Line
The new Fanatics jersey system is a win for hockey fans. Whether you are a casual supporter looking for a comfortable game-day shirt or a serious collector who demands on-ice authenticity, there is a tier that fits your needs. The Breakaway makes team jerseys more accessible than ever, while the Authentic Pro delivers the closest thing to wearing what the pros wear.
