Hockey Clothing

Ice hockey is a huge sport in North America, and the equipment market reflects that. The sport has also increased in popularity all over the world in part due to the development of synthetic ice.

The padding on the pelvis, thighs and the hips of goalie pant is more substantial. Goalie jocks are also referred to as jills have less protection from groins and have more padding on the front of their cup.

Apparel

Hockey players are wearing a lot of protective equipment as the sport involves fast-paced skating on hard surfaces. It is often physically demanding with players colliding frequently even intentionally. Besides ice skates and sticks the most common safety equipment includes a helmet (with an visor or a full face mask), shoulder pads and elbow pads, mouth guard and gloves, padded shorts (also called hockey pants or jock athletic protective, for males, and a jockstrap, also known as a "jill" for females) and a pelvic protection (known as a girdle women), and thigh, hip, tailbone, and shin pads. A neck protector can be worn.

In recent years technology has been used to reduce the weight of ice hockey clothing and make it more functional. Many companies utilize carbon composites in stick shafts and specialized foam to reduce the weight of shoulder pads without sacrificing protection. Other enhancements include 3D scanning, which can be used to model a player's body proportions and ensure that elbow, knee, and shin pads are made to fit the player.

As more people become acquainted with the sport, and synthetic ice surfaces are created all over the world to allow players to play in areas that do not have natural ice, the market for hockey will grow. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of female players which is a good sign for market growth.

Jerseys

Hockey jerseys are the uniforms hockey players wear. The jerseys are generally thicker and come with longer sleeves than other sports jerseys. The jerseys are emblazoned with the team logo on the front as well as the player's last name on the back and the player's number from 0 to 99. Some jerseys also feature a "C" and an "A" on them, signifying the team captain and alternate captain.

There are two kinds: authentic and replica. Authentic jerseys are made of the same material as ones worn by the players, and they sport the same design. Replica jerseys can be made of different materials (usually cheaper) and may not have the exact design as authentic jerseys.

The majority of NHL teams have three or four sets of jerseys that are worn during games. They also have unique sets, like heritage designs and charity events. Each jersey has an inside back loop of fabric, referred to a "fight strap" that needs to be tacked to the pants of the player to prevent the sweater being pulled over their head during a match.

The Authentic Pro is the top-tier jersey that is available from the NHL and is made of high-performance fabric featuring tackle twills that are multilayered 3D embroidery, as well as reinforced stitching. Both women's and men's styles are available. The Authentic Premier is a lower-tier version of the Authentic Pro, and it is designed to mimic the appearance of the jerseys that players wear on the ice.

Shirts

The jerseys, or sweaters of a team are the most well-known clothing. The primary logo of the team is displayed on the front of the garment, while the secondary logo is typically placed on the shoulders. A player's last name is visible on the back of the shirt, and the player's number appears below it--ranging from 0 to 99. Team captains wear an uppercase "C" above and to the right of their jersey's logo while two other players who are designated as alternate captains, wear an "A" on theirs.

Most NHL teams have an alternate jersey that is worn on special occasions such as the Winter Classic and Stadium Series. Many teams also have a throwback or retro option for their home jerseys. Third-sweater sweaters allow teams to try out new designs and often serve as a base for the development of their primary sweaters.

Vancouver Canucks' sweater is an exquisite combination of modern and traditional design. The navy and black jerseys are striking and easy to recognize on the ice. White stripes provide contrast. The Canucks have a lovely font on the numbers and names, which adds to the clean look of the jersey.
