    Ugh, their stuff is the absolute worst. The NHL signed a contract with them starting next year. Given how particular hockey players are about their gear, I imagine something similar will happen. I bought a new jersey this year just to have a non-shitty one for the next few years.

    There has been quite an uproar in the baseball world this week as players arrive for spring training and get their first looks at this season's uniforms.

    I had to pay $150 to get a proper Nike Timberwolves jersey in order to avoid Fanatics shitty products. That's another side effect of Fanatics being so shit, it isn't as viable to buy a lower tier jersey as it used to be, they just got worse, so now we have to spend more for something that has at least the bare minimum of quality.

        You bet your ass it was a Naz Reid jersey. And yeah, jersey prices have gotten RIDICULOUS, considering you used to be able to buy a good quality one for around $100 not that long ago. At the very least, the one I got is very nice and is an actual jersey, so worth it.

      That's why I just buy jerseys from DHGate. Same shitty quality, just $100+ cheaper.
