The issue with Adidas is that Adidas in their contract were supposed to only sell authentic jerseys to consumers and Fanatics would sell replicas. I guess they broke that contract so Fantics filed a lawsuit (don't know what happened beyond that), but I guess Adidas isn't budging and the NHL has a 10 or 15 year contract with Fanatics so they are supposedly forced to part ways with Adidas and cannot re-up their contract.
It's sad because NHL + Adidas = the best quality and look of jerseys for the NHL as a whole in a LONG time. Unfortunately Adidas is the parent company for Reebok so I very highly doubt that happens either...
