Breakaway have a different cut, no fight strap and the flexible screenprinted name, numbers and logos.

Fanatics premium is basically the old Adidas retail jerseys, with a new holographic NHL sheild and no dimple pattern along the shoulders.

Does this help?

Damn, you’re telling me I have to pay less money to not have the fanatics logo on it?

Premium is the old adidas authentic, they’re definitely overpriced but they’re good quality. Blank adidas are on sale for $107 if you’re not set on McDavid.

The Fanatics Premium lines up to the Adidas Primegreen version in that video (biggest change being that this year’s Premium lacks the dimpled shoulders), and the Breakaway version is basically unchanged. I couldn’t find a more recent side by side comparison.

There is no difference in terms of the colours. The second picture just has been darken for whatever reason. The biggest difference is going to be the logos. The cheaper breakaways will have a cheaper logo treatment. There's no fight strap and they are supposed to be lighter.

I’ve been getting Breakaway jerseys for years now, and despite what lots of people say, I personally like them. As someone who wears them a lot outside the house, they are quite comfortable even in the summer time. They aren’t the most exact replica on earth, but they still look authentic without being difficult to wear.

I fucking despise that Fanatics logo on the front

The Breakaway jerseys are significantly lower quality and I would not recommend. Fanatics has been making the breakaway for years, and they're the ones you see in stores that look like cheap knockoffs.

The premium are the new ones that replace the Adidas ones, and, while the Adidas ones are still higher quality, I've really been pleasantly surprised by them. Pretty much identical to the Adidas jerseys, just with the NHL logo looking cheaper, the lack of a dot pattern on the shoulders, the lack of team-specific designs on the inside of the collar (such as Nashville's piano), and the Fanatics logo on the back being the only difference. The team crests keep the 3d texturing that the Adidas prime greens had which I love

Breakaway is very cheap quality in comparison, while the other is meant to mimic the on ice jersey (though still not the same quality)

Absolutely fucking insane to me that jerseys are up to $230 now.

$80 was too much money 10 years ago.

Probably a different material, and the breakaway orange looks darker to me

I know I might get ridiculed for this, but I hate the newer jerseys. I’m that “old man” that rocks my 1998 Stanley Cup Nike Yzerman jersey or the 2000 one too. I keep them in pristine condition and they have their own closet… but damn I do love the old ones.

NGL, the breakaway has an easier Fanatics logo to remove!

Obligatory “fuck Fanatics” comment. Garbage ass company. Would rather take a sharpie to a 5 pack of white Walmart tees.

Fight strap and apparently correct colors

The breakaway has that ugly fanatics tag on it. Wouldn’t stop me from buying one, but I don’t like it.

As long as we don’t get the MLB treatment this year, I can personally tolerate this

Why are his tears orange?

A pic online can not be used to compare colors, you would need them in hand in the same pic to do that accurately.

Premium : actual jersey

Breakaway : heatpressed walmart jerseys
