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?

Meanwhile the jersey you would have purchased from the NFL team shop is no longer made by Nike. It is made in a Chinese factory by Fanatics and is little better than a polyester shirt with screen pressed numbers. No stitches to be found at all.

Fanatics is the worst thing to ever happen to sports merchandise.

A friend bought me a 39thirty cap from Fanatics and the thing was so poorly made it was hilarious. Loose string sticking out everywhere, the bill lacked stiffness/seemed off-center and the best was the entire rear half of the cap was some stretchy material (years ago the 39thirty only had stretch in the band of the cap) so it formed a cone shape on the top like this. I made sure they got their money back; fuck Fanatics.
