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).

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.
