Jersey Manufacturer with colours that match Reebok NHL jerseys

Recommended Posts

So, my team is getting new jerseys and they've decided upon the Reebok Gamewear jerseys in Ottawa "SENS" black and Ottawa white. The problem is that I'm rocking a XXXL in Kobe right now. I tried on a XXL and I could barely get my head through the neck opening. I tried on the XXXXL Goalie cut in hopes that I could just get the sleeves tapered and it was ridiculous.

So, I'm wondering what jersey manufacturer matches the official colours on the Reebok gamewear jerseys. Athletic Knit doesn't really match all that well and I'd prefer to look as close to the rest of the team as possible.

Which manufacturer would be the closest match to the Reebok Gamewear jerseys?

Thanks in advance.

Your first sentence is SCARY! Sorry, couldn't resist.

I pushed for AK jerseys as well but one of our guys works for a sporting goods retailer and can get a smoking deal on the Reebok gamewear jerseys (1/3 the regular cost) so there wasn't much to be done for convincing them otherwise.

From the stands, nobody will be able to tell the difference in the slight variance of the color red. They can't even tell what the logo on your jersey is, so, to tell that there is a slight difference in the color red will be nearly impossible. Keep in mind that even Reebok has a variance from fabric dye lot to fabric dye lot.

I'm actually more concerned about not standing out (more than I do) on the ice. The most people we've had to come out and watch our games is ten.
In the Ottawa jersey, all of the manufacturers are going to be very close to what the NHL and Ottawa Senators list as their official color. Notice I wrote NHL and Ottawa Senators.

I do recall there being mention of Reebok narrowing their colour pallette a few years ago so I catch your drift.

The true answer to your question is that a Reebok Gamewear jersey is the closest match to the colors of a Reebok Gamewear jersey. My guess is that you are looking for an alternate manufacturer who still makes a traditional fit as you, like I, have some girth and need a real jersey that fits properly.

I completely disagree with you with regards to AK and feel that they would be the best fit for you. They are the MOST CONSISTENT of any of the jersey manufacturers when it comes to colors!.

I agree that they are the most consistent. I have never had a bad AK jersey. I have just seen colour differences (mainly in the reds) between them and the CCM/Reebok jerseys.

Thanks for your help.
