Hockey Clothing
Ice hockey is a popular sport in North America, and the equipment market reflects that. The sport has increased in popularity throughout the world in part due to the invention of synthetic ice.
Goalie pants are made of thicker thigh, pelvic and hip pads for protection. Goalie jocks (also called Jills) have less groin protection but they have more padding on the front of the cup.
Apparel
Hockey players have a lot of protective equipment since the game involves high-speed skating on hard surfaces. It is often physically demanding with players frequently colliding and often intentionally. The standard safety gear used by a hockey player includes sticks, ice skates and a helmet with a visor, shoulder pads, chest protectors, gloves, elbow pads and heavy-padded shorts (also known as jock athletic protectors for men and jockstraps "jills" for women) and a pelvic protector (also known as a girdle (or "jill" for females) and hip pads, thigh pads, tailbone pads and shins. A neck protector can be worn.
In recent years technology was employed to reduce the weight of the clothing and make it more useful. For instance, many businesses currently use carbon composites to make stick shafts and specialized foam is also available to make shoulder pads more lightweight without harming protection. Other enhancements include 3D scanning to properly depict a person's body proportions and make sure that elbows, ankle and shin pads can be made to fit the particular player.
The market for hockey is predicted to expand over the next few years as more people are aware of the sport, and since synthetic ice rinks are constructed all over the world that allow players to play in areas that have no natural ice available. The number of female hockey players has also increased, which is good for the market.

Jerseys
Hockey jerseys are the uniforms that hockey players wear. The jerseys are generally more robust and have longer sleeves than other jerseys for sports. The jerseys are adorned with the logo of the team on the front along with the last name of the player on the top of the back, and a number from 0 to 100. Some jerseys are also adorned with the letters "C" and an "A" on them, which indicates the team's captain and alternate captain.
There are two types of jerseys: authentic and replica. Original jerseys are made from the same material as ones worn by the players, and they sport the same design. Replica jerseys may be constructed from different materials (usually cheaper) and might not have the exact design as authentic jerseys.
Most NHL teams have three or four sets of jerseys worn during games, and they also have special sets for things like traditional designs and charity events. Each jersey has an inside loop of fabric referred to as"fight strap. "fight strap" that must be attached to the pants of the player in order to stop the sweater from being pulled over their head during a match.
The Authentic Pro is a top-tier NHL jersey made from high-performance fabrics. It features multilayered tackle twill, as well as 3D embroidery. It also features reinforced stitching. It comes in women's and men's styles. 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 team's sweaters, also referred to as jerseys, are their most recognizable piece of clothing. They feature the team's main logo on the front, and usually have a secondary logo on the shoulders. The number of the player is located below the player's name, which can vary from 0 to 100. The captains of the team wear a capital "C" to the left of their jersey logo. Two other players who are designated as alternate captains, wear an "A".
The majority of NHL teams have a third jersey, or alternate, that is worn on special occasions, like for the Winter Classic or Stadium Series. In addition there are teams that have a throwback or retro alternative to their home jerseys. Third sweaters are a way for teams to experiment with new designs and often serve as a base for the development of their primary sweaters.
The Vancouver Canucks have a beautiful sweater that manages to blend traditional and modern design. The black and navy blue jerseys are bold and easy to recognize on the ice. White stripes create a contrast. The Canucks have a nice font on the numbers and names, which contributes to the clean appearance of the jersey.
