The current state of jersey buying is depressing: (alien.top)

Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?

Wow, I thought my issues with fanatics was a personal thing. Now that I think of it, my custom jersey from a tailor I ordered when stationed in Korea has held up about 100 washes, when the team store crap makes it like 20 at most.

I bought a Herbert jersey that took 2 months to arrive, after the first wash the yellow in the heat pressed numbers bled into the white ruining it.

They offered me a 20% refund.

Lmao such a great article. The best part is the author saying "check his early life on wikipedia" without saying it explicitly.

Um, I read the entire article, and at no point does it say to check Rubin's early life on Wikipedia. Where did you get that from?

Excellent read. All the stuff I’ve ordered from the chargers shop is trash. Except the couple of Nike tees I’ve gotten for my kids.
