On Tuesday, the NHL announced that New Era will become the official headwear manufacturer for all 32 teams, starting with the 2024-25 season.
In recent years, Fanatics has been the company responsible for producing hats for all NHL teams. They faced significant criticism for the quality of their hats, which is why many were surprised to learn they will be taking over from Adidas to design NHL jerseys starting next year.
These examples showcase some of the poorly made hats by Fanatics over the last few seasons. Now that New Era has taken over, the quality is expected to improve greatly. Fingers crossed that Fanatics won't ruin the jerseys when they start making them next year.
