In just a few short years since deepening its partnership with the NHL to include the coveted on-ice uniform, Fanatics' design team has worked collaboratively with the League and its teams on a variety of alternate and specialty jersey and apparel programs, including custom designs for marquee events such as the Winter Classic, Stadium Series and 4 Nations Face-Off.
The Hometown Remix program is more than just authentic and replica jerseys, with a broad apparel and headwear collection available for all 32 teams.
More information on the Hometown Remix program will follow shortly after the season begins.
