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.

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

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.

That’ll change too. Fanatics bought Mitchell and Ness
