Sneak peak of Fanatics quality for official major sports league jerseys (2 photos and MLB but will apply to NHL too when fanatics starts making jerseys?)
Sneak peak of Fanatics quality for official major sports league jerseys (2 photos and MLB but will apply to NHL too when fanatics starts making jerseys?)
I still can’t believe they picked the lowest budget possible shit fake jersey manufacturer to be the professional supplier. I keep waiting for them to say JKLOL

There are only two outcomes here for the NHL. 1) the quality is so shit over the course of a full season that Fanatics has no choice but to level up or 2) they do nothing, the jerseys are frayed and misspelled, and the contract gets terminated.
It’s appalling to me that the leagues have landed here. Bottom line and all, but it’s insane.

It’s staggering how obvious the change in quality is with Fanatics. Everything feels thin and cheap, shirts shrink no matter what, and the hats bleed dye if you sweat a little bit in them. Yet the prices are the same.

Your daily reminder to snag an Adidas Primegreen instead of anything Fanatics 🙂

All the leagues have their own brand of clown stuff, this one seems SO NHL.

Doesn’t that factory in Canada make the jerseys though?

Y’all remember Majestic? So good.

And yet, stupid fuckers will continue to buy them.

It’s almost as if no one understands the company has to offer something the NHLPA will like. Remember Reebok had to change shit with the edge 1.0?

No one should be shocked by this.

ironically, sneak “peak” is an accurate representation of Fanatics quality.

Users on r/hockeyjerseys have had their fair share of Fanatics fails already. It will be the new normal.

When the eagles Kelly green jerseys were released, lots of people complained about poor stitching and off center lettering and numbering.

Guess I need that Bedard sweater asap before all hell breaks loose

I can’t wait til a nameplate falls off a player mid game. We know this could be a huge talking point next season.

Just waiting for all the torn and ripped jerseys during games. Between the three leagues, equipment staff are going to be swamped with work.

Can’t wait for the fake jerseys to be better quality than the authentic stuff

hopefully backlash is widespread and leagues break contracts with Fanatics with cause, and the whole company goes tits up

It’s amazing that Fanatics was the only bidder and that’s how we ended up in this mess.

Just want to see if I have this right. For the MLB jerseys Nike announced for this year a new on-field Vapor Premier jersey but it’s actually made by Fanatics w/ I Nike logo slapped on it?

Fanatics is cancer

The players still get paid millions, don’t see how jersey material will affect their ability to do their jobs

The enshittification of major league sports jerseys.

Fuck Fanatics

I’ve never seen a company so incompetent continue to get large contracts.

Color me shocked that professional leagues are going with the lowest bidder to make the lowest quality product to sell at the same high price. Just don’t buy anything, it’s that simple. Wear what you already have.

I have all but stopped purchasing anything NHL related until the Fanatics contract is up or canceled.
I am purchasing Violent Gentleman merchandise in lieu of this

I think Costanza has something to do with this…
