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 that thing was so poorly made it was hilarious. String sticking out, the bill seemed off-center and the best was the material they used in the entire back half of the hat was made with this stretchy material (years ago the 39thirty only had stretch in the band of the hat) so it formed a cone shape on the top like this. I made sure they got their money back; fuck Fanatics.
