Team USA Fanatics 4 Nations Face-Off Jersey Review

Everyone has hidden talents. Today, I’ll find out if one of mine is playing the role of Professional Product Reviewer. That’s because yours truly was selected by Fanatics to review the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off jersey (see disclosure below). I’ll be specifically reviewing the Team USA jersey, but will direct you to each of the four jerseys and how you can buy them.

What is the 4 Nations Face-Off?

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock – or maybe just intensely following Alexander Ovechkin’s run at Wayne Gretzky’s record – let’s quickly review what the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off is. This international tournament features four countries (USA, Canada, Sweden, and Finland) and will replace the NHL All-Star game this season. The tournament will take place in Montreal and Boston and run from February 12-20. It will feature a round-robin format, with the top two teams facing off in the Championship game on February 20th. Here is a link to the full schedule and rosters, via NHL.com.

TWHS Spin

Before we move forward, it just wouldn’t be right to proceed without adding in some kind of TWHS spin to our 4 Nations Face-Off jersey review, now would it?

I know just the thing. I mean, c’mon, it’s obvious isn’t it? Every married guy knows the verbal and non-verbal judgment we receive following any wardrobe decision. That goes double for the ones where we are venturing into public or spending time with other people. So, let’s open with a custom star rating:

Wife Approved (Maybe) Product Star Rating

ONE STAR: You’re Not Gonna Wear That, Are You?
TWO STARS: Back of the Closet Material
THREE STARS: No Criticism and Not Getting “The Look”
FOUR STARS: Nice… Looks Good
FIVE STARS: ZZ Top Vibes (“Every girl crazy ‘bout a sharp dressed man”)

Team USA 4 Nations Face-Off Jersey Review

Initial Reaction

Right out of the box, I liked this jersey. It’s a clean look with some unique features.

The contrasting subtle midnight blue stripes that blend in with the navy blue base remind me of a USA President’s Cup golf shirt I have. The USA lettering and stars have a 3D effect that pops and adds depth to the look. There are subtle shoutouts all over the garment. The 4 Nations logo with the colors of the four participating countries is a nice addition. On the sleeves of the USA jersey, the phrase “E Pluribus Unum” (Latin for “Out of many, one”) – the motto of the United States – is stamped on the white stripes.

Fit

The jersey fit is true to size. I would recommend getting whatever your preferred size is. See for yourself, but a word of warning – I’m neither a professional photographer or a model. I’m simply trying to play one on TV.

Comfort

Quite honestly, this is one of the more comfortable jerseys I have. It should be noted that I have jerseys over many brands over the years, across all sports – and this is already one of my favorites when it comes to comfort and look.

Performance and Quality

Look, I know Fanatics was given a hard time with the new MLB jerseys last year. When it comes to this 4 Nations Face-Off jersey, I think it’s made with great quality. The material is not thin, but it’s very breathable and also quite comfortable. I saw no flaws with any of the stitching or patching that was added.

My only minor critique might be the silver material that is ironed over the letters to create the 3D effect. It’s a cool look, but that material tends to catch on the base jersey fabric (e.g. when your arm brushes over your chest). I haven’t worn it enough to know if this is a real issue, and I honestly don’t think it will be. Just something worth noting, that’s all.

External Opinions

Combing through the internet, you see mixed reviews, but that should come as no surprise. That’s the case for literally everything. For the critics out there asking why Team USA can never have a great jersey, I challenge them. What would you do instead?

When I talked to THE WIFE, she said “it’s nice”. That was it. Maybe she missed her calling as a writer of short stories. My son (he’s 11) also said it was nice, but that there “was not much going on”. This is the kid that loves wild statements in fashion. We are talking Julian ‘Frankenstein’ McGrath from ‘Big Daddy’ wild – and it’s all good. I love that he chooses his own path.

Overall Grade

This is a really nice jersey. It’s a clean look. It fits true to size. The material is both breathable and substantial. I’ve seen a lot of positive reactions for these jerseys and I must say that I agree with them.

FOUR STARS: Nice… Looks Good
