Per a release from the NHL
“Fanatics Authentic Pro – Cut, stitched and assembled in the same Canadian factory that has made NHL on-ice jerseys for nearly 50 years. The Authentic Pro features the exact specifications that the players wear, including elevated fabrics and sewn down multi-layered tackle twill with 3D embroidered crest and shoulder patches. The Authentic Pro retail jersey also includes an additional layer of fabric inside the lower sleeve, the exact same detail on the new player uniform which is intended to reduce material wear from sustained friction against the boards.”
Fanatics consulted with several players including Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews.
