Hockey Clothing

The North American ice hockey market is a reflection of this. The sport has also increased in popularity throughout the world, partly due to the introduction of synthetic-ice.

The padding on the pelvis, thighs and hips of goalie trousers is more substantial. Goalie jocks (also called jills) have reduced groin protection but have more padding in front of the cup.

Apparel

Hockey players must wear protective gear as the sport is high-speed on hard surfaces. Players often collide, and sometimes even intentionally. Apart from ice skates and sticks the typical player's safety gear includes a helmet (with the visor or complete face mask), shoulder pads and chest protector, elbow pads, mouth guard and gloves, as well as heavily padded shorts (also called hockey pants or jock athletic protector, for males, and a jockstrap, or a "jill" for females) as well as a pelvic protector (known as a girdle women) and thigh, the tailbone, hip, as well as shin pads. A neck protector could be worn.

In recent times technology has been utilized to reduce the weight of ice hockey apparel and to make it more practical. For instance, a lot of companies currently use carbon composites to make stick shafts and specialized foam can be found to make shoulder pads more lightweight without the protection they provide. Other advancements include 3D scanning to accurately determine the body proportions of a player and ensure that elbow, knee and shin pads are made to fit the particular player.

The market for hockey is expected to expand over the next few years as more people are aware of the sport, and as synthetic ice rinks are constructed all over the world, allowing players to play in areas that have no natural ice available. The number of female hockey players has also increased which is great for the market.

Jerseys

The hockey jerseys are the uniforms that hockey players wear. The jerseys are usually more robust and have longer sleeves than other sports jerseys. The jerseys are adorned with the logo of the team on the front along with the last name of the player on the their back and the number ranging from zero to 100. Some jerseys also have the letters "C" and an "A" on them, signifying the team captain and alternate captain.

There are two types of jerseys: authentic and replica. Genuine jerseys are made of the same material as jerseys worn by players, and they sport the identical design. Replica jerseys may be constructed from different materials (usually cheaper) and may not have the exact same design as authentic jerseys.

The majority of NHL teams have three or four sets of jerseys worn during games. They also have a few special sets for things like traditional designs and charity events. Each jersey is fitted with a loop of fabric stitched into the inside back known as a fight strap which must be fixed to the player's pants during a game to stop the jersey from being pulled over a player's head during a fight.

The Authentic Pro is a top-tier NHL jersey made of high-performance fabrics, featuring multilayered tackle twill, as well as 3D embroidery. It also features reinforced stitching. It is available in both women's and men's styles. The Authentic Premier is a version of the Authentic Pro that is designed to mimic the look of the jerseys worn by players on the playing field.

Shirts

A team's sweaters--also called jerseys--are their most recognizable piece of clothing. They have the team's primary logo on the front, and often have a secondary logo on the shoulders. The number of the player's name is placed beneath the player's name, which can range from 0 to 100. Captains of the team wear an uppercase "C" above and to the right of their jersey's logo, while two other players--designated as alternate captains wear an "A" on theirs.

The majority of NHL teams have a third jersey, or alternate, that is worn on special occasions, such as for the Winter Classic or Stadium Series. Many teams also have a throwback or retro option for their home jerseys. These third-sweater designs are a great way for teams to experiment and can be used as a base for their primary sweaters.

Vancouver Canucks' sweater is a stunning combination of modern and traditional design. The black and navy blue jerseys are bold and easy to identify on the ice. White stripes add contrast. The Canucks have an attractive font on their numbers and names, which adds to the sleek appearance of the jersey.
