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.

What I don’t understand is how people continue to purchase their products (including a lot of y’all on here).

Most people don’t know any better

maybe a little bit off topic but you can do a quick search of brands before buying them here:

Very off-topic.

If you want new licensed gear, there’s not too many other options, esp if you’re at a team store

It may not be much better in a big picture view, but man Mitchell and Ness throwbacks are miles ahead of the new garbage.

They are but a lot of people want current players. They're also often over $300 lol

They were not anymore Mitchell and ness nhl jerseys are a abomination

[–] SunYellowMaltLiquor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’ll change too. Fanatics bought Mitchell and Ness

Sports fans want to support their team(s). Unfortunately, Fanatics has gotten SO big that it’s nearly impossible to support your team without indirectly supporting Fanatics.
