Utah Hockey Club jerseys go on sale for the first time Friday

“We’ve had several meetings and calls with Fanatics at the highest levels of the company besides the NHL to figure out how we could accelerate timelines – and the factory schedule, for example – to get jerseys into the hands of our fans so they could get one enjoying as much of our first season as possible,” Armstrong said.

The first batch contains home and away shirts. They will all be adult sizes, and most will be blank as that was most efficient within the tight timeline. But there will be a limited number of player jerseys, including Logan Cooley, Dylan Guenther, Connor Ingram, Clayton Keller, Liam O’Brien, Nick Schmaltz and Mikhail Sergachev, and fans can customize blank jerseys.

They’re all from the Fanatics Premium line, featuring a holographic NHL shield on the neck and the same fabric and graphic techniques as the Authentic Pro line. Blank jerseys cost $200. Player jerseys – or blank jerseys personalized with player names and numbers – cost $250. Other custom jerseys cost $275.

Utah hosts the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday (9 p.m. ET; Utah16, SCRIPPS).

“Hopefully we’ll see a lot of Utah Hockey Club jerseys in the stands that night,” Armstrong said.

Armstrong said Utah will try to replenish supplies as early as 2025. The youth sizes will come in the next wave.

“Ultimately, our goal for the entire season is to get as many jerseys into the hands of our fans as possible, so I would love to sell out the team store quickly and be given the responsibility of trying to restock that. ahead of schedule, as we initially tried to do here,” Armstrong said.

“We understood that by lining up to get jerseys into the hands of fans on this timeline, we would have to show patience later in the process. However, that won’t delay our resolve to try to get more jerseys to fans as quickly as possible and continue to work with Fanatics and the NHL to explore what’s possible there.
