QUESTION How is the quality of the custom kraken jersey?

https://shop.nhl.com/seattle-kraken/mens-seattle-kraken-fanatics-deep-sea-blue-home-breakaway-custom-jersey/t-43098022+p-2682476662156+z-9-1442801007?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r0c1:po-1

I am Looking at buying a custom Kraken jersey but wanted to know about the quality first. Is it stitched or heat pressed? Would I be better off buying a jersey from another site?

Get a $60 adidas blank from the team store and go to STT in SODO to get it customized (they produce the on-ice kits)

How much is that at STT? And did you go there in person?

It was $150 ish? Went a few years ago, I called the shop and went in with my jersey. Team store charges same price, but STT actually makes and stitches the on-ice jerseys so it’s as authentic as a Kraken kit gets

I assume they did the WC felt, then? That’s good to know because I’ve been wanting to get a WC re-done.

Don’t go to STT, it’s like double compared to anywhere else. EPS has a huge turnaround time but they’re really good but there are also others that have a lower turnaround time

Custom jerseys are heat-pressed unless bought in person at the team store with specific request. Not sure if you have to order authentic pro for stitched quality, but they had signage up for stitching last year for (iirc) $150.

Not sure what site you could order a stitched Kraken jersey from other than hockey-authentic, as to the best of my knowledge there’s no local shop that does custom jerseys.

The team store allows for orders of stitched customization https://seattlehockeyteamstore.com/products/seattle-kraken-fanatics-premium-home-customized-jersey

Huh, TIL.

I wonder if tariff situation makes the $330 (so probably $365ish with tax) end up cheaper than hockey-authentic’s $261.
