I will be honest if I say that I will never be a fashion icon. I am pretty sure that the only fashion designer that would hire me would be Mugatu Soleer for Are “abandoned” collection. By saying that, there are some fashion designers trying to elevate the hockey world to a haute couture, and one of those design houses is FE of which the logo is displayed above. According to their marketing jargon, FE “collaborated with the NHL to bring you an unparalleled collection of clothing that unites the spirit of the game with advanced design.” Nowadays, however, Fe increases the presence of a player in their designs.
I wrote about Fe in January 2024 when the AW Chang Corporation “signed a license agreement with the National Hockey League to launch a new clothing collection under the brand label of Fe”. At the time, I was stunned and entirely at the retail prices that FE assigns to its products as $ 200 USDs and $ 450 USD jackets were ridiculous price tags, but I clearly do not understand that fashion does not pay if people pay $ 500 USD for hockey ters. Fashion, right?
I received an e -mail this week about their latest fashion: The Ovechkin collection. Because of my full contempt for Ovechkin, I almost pressed the “Remove” button, but I remembered my previous article about Fe. Curiosity started to take over, so I went against my better judgment and clicked on the link to view the new collection.
Regret was set up immediately because none of the new collection encouraged me, but I can justify that thanks to my extreme aversion to both the capitals and the Ocechkin and a penguins fan of Pittsburgh. However, I realize that my preference will not help me to give a fair assessment of these designs for the average fan, so let’s dig in The Ovechkin collection And what is your hard -earned money worth!
The two designs on the right are perhaps the best options when it comes to real fashion, because it is clear which team and player support the wearer of these shirts. The one on the right would be the most expensive Shirsey in the history of the sport, but it is clean, is in the color scheme of the capitals and is identifiable of the name and number. However, the price tag of $ 148 USD for one of these hoodies is a completely ridiculous price for most fans. If you are going to spend that kind of money, just spend the extra dollars and just get the replica sweater with adjustment. $ 148 is insanity for a hoodie.
Furthermore, the $ 158 track jacket With the virtually invisible embroidery, I am more than any price that I would pay for a polyester jacket made of 94% recycled polyester. Don’t get me wrong in that recycling polyester is a good idea, but charging me $ 158 when it costs around $ 5 per meter recycled polyester means that someone makes crazy money. Save your money and do not buy in the hype here.
As I wrote in 2024: “[t]The prices are simply unrealistic for the majority of fans. “For $ 150 USD you can buy a ticket for a game and see Ocechkin play the game for which he is famous. You don’t need a fashion hoodie to prove that you are a fan of the great eight. Just as much six -digit income to afford them.
The Oveechkin collection of FE is interesting, but I like to buy groceries and keep the lights at my house. I will not run any red carpets in my normal hoodie or regular track jacket, but they will not put me on the list of a collecting agency. That’s good enough for me.
Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
