@DennyJr22
@DennyJr22 4 месяца назад
It's pretty obvious why they did this....for more jersey ads. The current ones are "only" one small-ish patch on one sleeve that are embroidered, but add more embroidered ones and the jersey gets heavier and uncomfortable real quick. Heat pressing everything allows more consistency between team logos/names/numbers and ads, while allowing teams to load them up. It's also a big reason why the names and numbers are smaller, more real estate for ads on the back. Soon players will look like NASCAR drivers to make up for lost revenue with the decline of RSN money along with the ageing out of their older fanbase and their disposable income disappearing due to retirement.

Rob Manfred saying they're Nike, well, false. Nike does the jerseys for many IIHF members, aside, for the uninitiated, the IIHF is international hockey, and while I'm not a fan of the cut, or the aesthetics of them, they're still quality jerseys, and worth the $200 to purchase one. These do NOT meet that standard, and I'm terrified now of what this means for the NHL.

We need to be boycotting Fanatics. They have a total monopoly and the “Fanatics” brand is absolutely terrible. It never seems to be the same quality. I have purchased a few polyester NHL shirts that all say 100% Polyester and the necklines are different, the material feels different and the sizing is so off (same size ordered) for all of their low sleeve shirts. And forget about ordering their brand of hat, complete garbage.

Fanatics is 100% behind this - their jerseys have alway been bootleg quality, cheaper to produce means more profit, also the thinner fabric and heat-pressed twill are easier to put in baseball cards. Nike game-issued jerseys used be produced in the US so they are top quality, if players are getting the same garbage that means its all being made in China by Fanatics. The same thing happened to Mitchell & Ness - top quality Made in USA, then went to El Salvador (good quality), then Korea (not so good), then China (absolute garbage - started using the same fabric and twill material as the bootlegs).

That just looks cheap. The lettering doesn't line up right.. just looks unprofessional. MLB/Nike/Fanatics should be fixing this ASAP

This is one of the biggest debacles in the history of Major League baseball. At a time where you are trying to attract a younger audience, you introduce jerseys that look like the dollar store versions of their former selves. It's a marketing disaster, it's not just one team's jersey it is every team in the league. You should take every single one of these new jerseys and give them to all those kids in Africa like they do with the losing super bowl teams winning t-shirts. This is very bad. Shame on Manfred, shame on Nike, and shame on any of the owners that make their teams wear these disgustingly terrible jerseys.
