Devilsguy Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 WC logo looks pretty cool. Rangers logo looks like it's a baseball logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chow_hound Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Some news for all. Spoke with my Canucks rep. He advised that the team will be offering the Retail Authentic for $200 Canadian and the Pro On Ice Authentic for $400 Canadian. Apparently Adidas has set the pricing "league wide" which means that other teams MAY offer the made in Canada jersey for retail sale. It's up to each team to order and resell.

LAK74 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Did they happen to say if the On-ice authentics would be team-issued sizes only (52 and up), or whether 46/50's might be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sizing confirmations. My belief is 54 and up based on historical sizing that the Canucks had on hand for team stock. Apparently Adidas has done a terrible job communicating with the team about the new jerseys and they are ordering limited stock because of high price. By comparison blank team stock was $329.99 CAD with Reebok. I was told that all ordering is done with Adidas USA meaning that prices are in US and converted to CAD which drives up cost and hence the $400 CAD MSRP. Definitely sounds like the program isn't being met with a positive reception at least in Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I missed the whole US vs. Canadian dollar thing. Can't wait to buy $658 worth of jerseys my team's fan base hates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow_hound Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Lol. With the way the CAD VS USD exchange is going you might be back to your original $800 For any Van fans, nothing to really be excited about. Virtually unchanged when you see it in person.

Now you'll have to excuse my ignorance here but are the teams charged those prices for their jerseys? Effectively retail prices when selling direct from manufacturer to clubs?

chow_hound Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I was told that Adidas sells pro jerseys direct to the team equipment managers for the same price ($400) and the team is forced to apply the Adidas MSRP if they resell. I know there is margins for all the other products (hats, retail Authentic, shirts, etc) but it sounds like these are not intended to have a wholesale and retail margin since they don't actually offer at retail.

TMLFAN Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's going to be hard but we just have to be patient with this Adidas bullcrap just like when the 2.0's first started showing up. Eventually retailers will get their hands on the good stuff and we will have several choices for where we want to purchase them from. Hell I'll put money on JB eventually getting them as well.

Suspect you're right about that. Also can I shout out to JB who provided exceptional service helping me out recently. Patiently answered all my questions and provided me with options and eventually shipped blanks to EPS for me when I wasn't completely happy with the customisation on their jersey. Would definitely buy from them again if they have what I want. Sorry for that plug, I have no affiliation with JB, just a happy customer.

Zeshy25 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Just called and spoke to the NHL store in NYC. Said they will be getting some Adidas jerseys this week but, should get jerseys for all teams before the season starts. I asked if they would be getting authentic jerseys and response was yes, they will have the top of the line authentics made-in-Canada. Again, given that it seems most likely only the Indo-Adizero jerseys will be available for retail, I doubt the customer service rep knew the difference but, wanted to give a heads up on the timeline.

DJ Rhea Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 They're going to be the Indo's, hopefully ol' JB can get a hold of the Canadian ones. Personally I think he will. Adidas like making money, why wouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
