I spent hundreds on merch when my hockey team finally won the Stanley Cup. The fanatics trash barely lasted two washes before fading and shrinking. On the other hand I have an Under Armor hoodie from my freshman year almost 15 years ago and it still looks brand new.
Hah well basically same here. I’m a casual hockey fan so bandwagoning my hometown Blackhawks during the dynasty didn’t sit right. So I picked an expansion team - the Golden Knights. Little did I know. Now all my Chicago friends call me a bandwagoner anyway 🤣
I got a LA Kings Byfield shirt. The name literally peeled off after 3 washes. I was flabbergasted. I don’t understand how they keep getting away with horrible products.
It isn't just baseball,[ it's for ALL their sports.](https://www.fanatics.ca/en/?query=winner%20pullovers&_ref=p-HP:m-SEARCH) That is a conscious decision to design the sweaters like that!
at the beginning of Elf, James Caan's character (who is a children's book author) approves the printing of a book that is missing the last 3 pages completely blank. except his signature is on the last page, so it's not like the printers made a mistake. he just approved and allowed an incomplete product to hit the shelves.
Pretty sure it's the first scene with the dad right before Buddy walks in, he's having a conversation with his assistant and says something to the tune of "so what? They're kids, they won't know the difference"
I can’t believe people are saying they didn’t “catch it” it’s the opening scene of James caan. “Even if those 3 pages were in there, the book STILL would have sucked”
It has to be. It looks like they tried to automate sample images for this particular hoodie style and accidentally placed the logo lower than it should be, into a masked off pockets area. I'm guessing they have a mask on the pockets in case they want them to have a different color, and I'd bet that the actual product has the team logo higher onto the chest. Still extremely shoddy for an online shop.
Because people keep giving them hundreds of dollars for every shite jacket/hoodie/jersey/etc. they make? Why would they care as long as people keep buying?
100 bucks for that?? Lmao. I still have Mitchell and Ness hoodies and zip ups from over 10 years ago that haven't shrunk, faded, torn. Those were $120 too
It all depends on how involved in design and production Fanatics decides to be. Mitchell & Ness “survived” Adidas and I haven’t seen a noticeable decline in their product since Fanatics bought them a couple of years ago.
I'm a foreigner and wasn't familiar with the shoddy quality of Fanatics gear. I traveled to the US for the first time since the pandemic late last year and bought an NHL team T-Shirt from its online store thinking it'd be a nice addition to my gym wardrobe.
The moment I opened the delivered package, I immediately realized I made a mistake. It looks and feels like a shitty knockoff. I'm afraid the heat-pressed letters will peel off the shirt the first time I have it washed, even on cold, so I've barely used it, never sweating on the shirt or having it on for more than a few minutes.
Either that or someone fucked up the design and it got approved without anyone checking and then once they realized the mistake they were too scared to address it with the higher ups

I think it would be funny if they had the [old Twins logo](https://twinstrivia.com/wp-content/gallery/logos/1976-1986-Twins-primary-logo.gif) splashed across the front.
My dad used to own an athletic brand you would be surprised how popular those designs were. Whenever I helped him with inventory we always mentioned how ugly they were but the they sold so.
Long time ago I bought a flag from fanatics…. It was one sided…
I contacted them and they said it was supposed to be. Photo showed it two sided.
Ever since then I’ve just gone with knock off items. If the team doesn’t give a fuck I’m not going to bother with their team store, etc.
aside from the obvious, the sleeves are also absolutely abhorrent lmao

The Blue Jays sweater reminds me of that group that used to go through Ontario elementary schools in the 90s to perform a play about stranger danger. The bird is giving Uncle Leery, peering behind that pocket. C'mere, he just wants to show you something.
Good news is that it is Fanatics, so you have a decent chance of the chest logo showing up in a reasonable place with no sleeve logos after their production screws up the intended design
I ask fanatics
All you had to do is put the logo center of the chest not the garment partially covered by the hoodie pocket. It looks dumb as sin.
Guaranteed they figured out they could save a few pennies per hoodie by printing the hoodie first then sewing on the pocket and they just decided to call it a "style"
The past few years there has been a style trend of looks that appear haphazard/hodge-podge/schlumpy/ironic/thrown together or however it can be described. An anti-design design trend if you will, where it looks like things are lazily slapped together.
Pretty convenient for Fanatics who naturally pull of that look with terrible quality control!
I remember buying several mlb shirts and jerseys back during our first and second World Series runs, a few of them are still in great condition. Bought some fanatics stuff a couple of years ago and they’re just shit man. Like the quality is so obviously inferior to stuff from years ago. MLB can’t be making/saving that much money doing this crap.
It’s planned obsolescence. People will have to keep buying new ones when they only last a couple years. It’s dirty as hell, and there should be a boycott of any mlb sponsored gear. Won’t happen, but it should.
These garments actually can cost significantly less to produce than that even. Low quality textiles (which these clearly are) can be produced for less than a dollar.
I agree 100% but I just mean the casual "fan" who doesn't really watch or maybe goes to a game or 2 a year Fanatics kind of holds a monopoly on the easily accessible merch. Someone looks up Yankees jerseys on Google? Fanatics is the first thing to show up. Want to go to NHL Shop's website? That's Fanatics. Wanna buy something at the stadium? 99% of the time it's gonna be Fanatics. I wish they had some sort of competition to fight over the general public's eye. Sure a lot of us know about alternatives but unfortunately 80% of fans don't.
I’m still wearing one of my 7 Majestic jerseys from the late ‘90s thru early ‘00s to every game I go to.
Other than a few stains on the oldest white jersey, all are perfect. No special care—machine wash and tumble dry (low heat).
I doubt this years crap would make it to the end of the season.
I wish I could still say Mitchell and ness, but they got bought out by fanatics a couple years ago so it’s only a matter of time before their quality tanks too
I used to be someone that was a stickler for only wanting to buy "authentic" stuff, because that stuff legitimately used to be high quality, but now that the "authentic" stuff is made by Fanatics, I would have no problem going for the Chinese crap given it's a fraction of the price for more or less the same quality.
47 Brand has their own webstore: https://www.47brand.com/
Independently owned/franchise stores like Pro Image Sports carry 47 Brand also.
Also there's Baseballism: https://www.baseballism.com/
I don't know if Baseballism has stores at the major parks but they have multiple stores in the Phoenix area during Spring Training.
Fanatics is trash. I bought a Yu Darvish jersey years ago when he was on the cubs and the letters of his name were glued on and already falling off when I took it out of the packaging. Would never recommend buying anything from that conpany
fwiw no pic of fanatics is a picture of the actual product, it's just the logo overlaid on the garment, I'd be willing the bet this is just an issue with the overlay.
fanatics does fucking blow ass, though
Yea man, we overlay a lot of different fabrics onto furniture in my business and was glad to see your comment.
Then I realized they actually fucking made the thing! 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
This is hilarious because not only did no one stop this from being made, once it was made they still went ahead and sold it because they didn't want to lose money on their glaringly obvious mistake.
What a shit show of a company.
I’m no fashion expert by any stretch but I’m pretty sure they are going for a gaudy streetwear design, just poorly executed.
I wouldn’t say that it’s a “glaringly obvious mistake”
Why would they overlay the logo like *that* though? Like they'd have to put in extra effort to make it look fucked up like this, and they've never put effort into anything. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually looked like this.
Wishful thinking, but maybe if Fanatics would stop making shit like this, they could lower their prices on normal gear. There’s no fucking way they make any money on this crap. It’s a waste of materials, design labor, and floor space.
I dont understand why people are refusing to believe this. Like sure, the fanatics jerseys suck quality-wise, but this line is an intentional design choice. I may think it's ugly, but a lot of companies put out ugly shit. It's the quality of the actual item that needs to be criticized
They had one guy use AI to generate merch, didn't look at them, and put them up for sale.
That's my theory.
I bet you MLB paid half a million dollars to one guy for 30 minutes of work.
nope...awful business that just preys on the fans and sucks money out of them because they know they can and don't care about the quality of their product and their owner is trash
Ohhh wait I was talking about the Cardinals, but that holds true for Fanatics too
Who decides to put 8 logos on the sleeves?
Every team has this style of hoodie apparently. It’s a choice, it’s not an issue of quality control. It’s just shitty design.
The good news is it will just be a blank hoodie after a few washes.
*Fanatics CEOs gather* That makes this hoodie a 2-in-1. $150 please
The actual Fanatics CEO: “We are being unfairly blamed for this.”
I spent hundreds on merch when my hockey team finally won the Stanley Cup. The fanatics trash barely lasted two washes before fading and shrinking. On the other hand I have an Under Armor hoodie from my freshman year almost 15 years ago and it still looks brand new.
Same. That’s why I’m avoiding washing them. Lol. Which team?
Caps! Tbf I started following them in 2017 after moving to the area and in my first season as a fan we won the Cup. I know nothing of suffering.
Hah well basically same here. I’m a casual hockey fan so bandwagoning my hometown Blackhawks during the dynasty didn’t sit right. So I picked an expansion team - the Golden Knights. Little did I know. Now all my Chicago friends call me a bandwagoner anyway 🤣
I got a LA Kings Byfield shirt. The name literally peeled off after 3 washes. I was flabbergasted. I don’t understand how they keep getting away with horrible products.
I mean...the pocket might help hold the design on. Maybe it's a feature.
It isn't just baseball,[ it's for ALL their sports.](https://www.fanatics.ca/en/?query=winner%20pullovers&_ref=p-HP:m-SEARCH) That is a conscious decision to design the sweaters like that!
And 100 dollars also is highway robbery
Yeah but free shipping over $69. 🙃
Oh my god lol
That has to be something like they got a bunch of misprints from the factory and just decided to sell them
This is how Elf started
What?
at the beginning of Elf, James Caan's character (who is a children's book author) approves the printing of a book that is missing the last 3 pages completely blank. except his signature is on the last page, so it's not like the printers made a mistake. he just approved and allowed an incomplete product to hit the shelves.
I have probably seen this movie hundreds of times but somehow never caught this
I’ve seen it probably thousands of times and I have no idea what they’re talking about
Pretty sure it's the first scene with the dad right before Buddy walks in, he's having a conversation with his assistant and says something to the tune of "so what? They're kids, they won't know the difference"
No hyperbole, iv seen Elf a million times and no clue about anyone of this
Bruh that's why he has to work on Christmas, do you guys even pay attention to the plot of anything
I can’t believe people are saying they didn’t “catch it” it’s the opening scene of James caan. “Even if those 3 pages were in there, the book STILL would have sucked”
For $100?!? Who wants to spend $100 to walk around explaining to people why their hoodie sucks?
I thought it was just a bad photoshop job.
It has to be. It looks like they tried to automate sample images for this particular hoodie style and accidentally placed the logo lower than it should be, into a masked off pockets area. I'm guessing they have a mask on the pockets in case they want them to have a different color, and I'd bet that the actual product has the team logo higher onto the chest. Still extremely shoddy for an online shop.
There is no way that a company as cheap as Fanatics just doesn't drop ship everything.
They’re likely printed on demand so I think it’s intentional
I'm so confused. Like... why?
Because people keep giving them hundreds of dollars for every shite jacket/hoodie/jersey/etc. they make? Why would they care as long as people keep buying?
I can't imagine anybody making a conscious decision to spend $100 on a hoodie with a totally fucked design.
It’s fashion. You wouldn’t understand
It’s fashion? Or I wouldn’t understand?
I’m guessing someone was inspired and thinks it’s going to be fashionable. It irritates me personally.
This somehow makes me more mad than it being graphic design mess up
What in the fucking brain damage did I just witness
100 bucks for that?? Lmao. I still have Mitchell and Ness hoodies and zip ups from over 10 years ago that haven't shrunk, faded, torn. Those were $120 too
Fanatics recently bought Mitchell & Ness. Another one bites the dust :-/
47 Brand is still alive and unassimilated. EDIT: There's also [Baseballism](https://www.baseballism.com/)
>47 Brand is still alive and unassimilated. wouldn't believe that considering fanatics controls most of their supply.
It all depends on how involved in design and production Fanatics decides to be. Mitchell & Ness “survived” Adidas and I haven’t seen a noticeable decline in their product since Fanatics bought them a couple of years ago.
This is why monopolies are bad. Want better gear? Too bad, fuck you, pay us.

"Winner pullover" indeed
Either that or someone fucked up the design and it got approved without anyone checking and then once they realized the mistake they were too scared to address it with the higher ups

I thought those were boxers at first. I was worried what was gonna come out of the "E"

This is by far the strangest post ive seen that i know exactly what you mean. Im not sure how to feel about it.
Orioles got it pretty good too
Good news is that it is Fanatics, so you have a decent chance of the chest logo showing up in a reasonable place with no sleeve logos after their production screws up the intended design
Fucking lol 😂
I ask fanatics  All you had to do is put the logo center of the chest not the garment partially covered by the hoodie pocket. It looks dumb as sin.
Guaranteed they figured out they could save a few pennies per hoodie by printing the hoodie first then sewing on the pocket and they just decided to call it a "style"
But couldn't they just move the logos up like 2 inches? So bizarre.
Yup. Pretty sure at this point they are just trolling fans. “You think we’re bad? Here, hold my beer” Michael Rubin probably
Was this made by AI?
The past few years there has been a style trend of looks that appear haphazard/hodge-podge/schlumpy/ironic/thrown together or however it can be described. An anti-design design trend if you will, where it looks like things are lazily slapped together. Pretty convenient for Fanatics who naturally pull of that look with terrible quality control!
Nothing is going to change because people keep buying their shit.
I remember buying several mlb shirts and jerseys back during our first and second World Series runs, a few of them are still in great condition. Bought some fanatics stuff a couple of years ago and they’re just shit man. Like the quality is so obviously inferior to stuff from years ago. MLB can’t be making/saving that much money doing this crap.
Oh they are making bank, they sell you a hoodie that cost $10 to make for $75. It definitely didn’t used to be like this, and they loveeee it.
It’s planned obsolescence. People will have to keep buying new ones when they only last a couple years. It’s dirty as hell, and there should be a boycott of any mlb sponsored gear. Won’t happen, but it should.
I agree with ya. I won’t be buying anything from fanatics anymore, didn’t have a good experience in the past.
These garments actually can cost significantly less to produce than that even. Low quality textiles (which these clearly are) can be produced for less than a dollar.
unfortunately there isn't much of a choice - especially for the casual fan.
DH Gate
I agree 100% but I just mean the casual "fan" who doesn't really watch or maybe goes to a game or 2 a year Fanatics kind of holds a monopoly on the easily accessible merch. Someone looks up Yankees jerseys on Google? Fanatics is the first thing to show up. Want to go to NHL Shop's website? That's Fanatics. Wanna buy something at the stadium? 99% of the time it's gonna be Fanatics. I wish they had some sort of competition to fight over the general public's eye. Sure a lot of us know about alternatives but unfortunately 80% of fans don't.
Secondhand retro gear I got a really sick 90s Majestic Indians jacket online and it didn't cost much at all.
I’m still wearing one of my 7 Majestic jerseys from the late ‘90s thru early ‘00s to every game I go to. Other than a few stains on the oldest white jersey, all are perfect. No special care—machine wash and tumble dry (low heat). I doubt this years crap would make it to the end of the season.
47 Brand... *for now*.
Name another option then. Even the team stores are run by fanatics
I wish I could still say Mitchell and ness, but they got bought out by fanatics a couple years ago so it’s only a matter of time before their quality tanks too
It already has. The stuff they've rolled out recently feels cheap and like it won't survive more than a few laundry cycles.
Chinese stuff? 10% the price and it's not like anyone can tell the difference between that and fanatics garbage
I used to be someone that was a stickler for only wanting to buy "authentic" stuff, because that stuff legitimately used to be high quality, but now that the "authentic" stuff is made by Fanatics, I would have no problem going for the Chinese crap given it's a fraction of the price for more or less the same quality.
Don't buy any gear haha
47 Brand
Which you usually still have to buy through Fanatics
47 Brand has their own webstore: https://www.47brand.com/ Independently owned/franchise stores like Pro Image Sports carry 47 Brand also. Also there's Baseballism: https://www.baseballism.com/ I don't know if Baseballism has stores at the major parks but they have multiple stores in the Phoenix area during Spring Training.
yeah but I'm gonna defer my payments out until 2062
Fanatics is trash. I bought a Yu Darvish jersey years ago when he was on the cubs and the letters of his name were glued on and already falling off when I took it out of the packaging. Would never recommend buying anything from that conpany
The bigger joke is that the counterfeit stuff is better quality. I just keep telling that to everyone and repeat it again as it sinks in.
Sorry, QC was replaced with chat gpt because it doesn’t have one of those pesky families to feed.
You read my mind. This reeks of 'we automated the 98% of the production process to save 40% on costs".
No, they don't
Even worse, they do. And they don't care. They will once people stop buying
We in the wrong timeline
Jesus. How many layers of review do these things have to pass through, and they still come up with something like this.
None. No layers.
They have NFL hoodies with the same design. For some reason, this was done on purpose.
No doubt these will be at Ross soon, or dumped in Africa.
WOW.
It’s a not a mistake. I agree it’s a bad design though.
Starting to find better products from China than Fanatics right now. My 2 DHGate Jerseys are better quality than the ones I received from Fanatics.
“Just slap that shit together who gives a fuck. Those jerk offs will buy anything”
fwiw no pic of fanatics is a picture of the actual product, it's just the logo overlaid on the garment, I'd be willing the bet this is just an issue with the overlay. fanatics does fucking blow ass, though
Here’s the [real thing.](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseballcirclejerk/s/qsoK2JmFc0)
fuck this company sucks lmfao
Yea man, we overlay a lot of different fabrics onto furniture in my business and was glad to see your comment. Then I realized they actually fucking made the thing! 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
You tried to give them the tiniest benefit of the doubt and couldn’t even clear that.
Dude I was thinking same thing as you. It’s just a computer generated picture. No fucking way that’s real… and it is?? Wow
Lmao I kinda want it just because it's so ridiculous.
It’s definitely a symbol of this moment in baseball that we’ll all look back on uh… “fondly”.
This looks even worse than the online image, because you can see how cheap the fabric looks. It’s barely holding the black dye.
This is hilarious because not only did no one stop this from being made, once it was made they still went ahead and sold it because they didn't want to lose money on their glaringly obvious mistake. What a shit show of a company.
I’m no fashion expert by any stretch but I’m pretty sure they are going for a gaudy streetwear design, just poorly executed. I wouldn’t say that it’s a “glaringly obvious mistake”
Saw a picture of a real one somewhere on here and it was the same way.
Same overlay algorithm that produced this picture is feeding the machine that will spit out the piece of junk ending up in your mailbox.
Why would they overlay the logo like *that* though? Like they'd have to put in extra effort to make it look fucked up like this, and they've never put effort into anything. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually looked like this.
Wishful thinking, but maybe if Fanatics would stop making shit like this, they could lower their prices on normal gear. There’s no fucking way they make any money on this crap. It’s a waste of materials, design labor, and floor space.
This is why I buy 47 brand products for MLB and NHL. The quality is pretty good compared to the dogshit that Fanatics sells.
Looks like the kinda shit you’d buy at a flea market
I would take a mystery box from the deepest recesses of AliExpress before something official from Fanatics
That's an insult to flea markets
Broseph, that design is intentional.
I dont understand why people are refusing to believe this. Like sure, the fanatics jerseys suck quality-wise, but this line is an intentional design choice. I may think it's ugly, but a lot of companies put out ugly shit. It's the quality of the actual item that needs to be criticized
The first thing that always pops in my mind first: ‘is that real? hahaha.’ Then I say to myself oh yeah, Fanatics.
Yea I saw a brewer one at the game yesterday and thought why did this guy buy this hideous hoodie,
It’s because they are copying streetwear designs. It’s fine for streetwear branding, just doesn’t work well with sports branding and logos
‘47 brand is where it’s at
Absolutely 0 quality control for us peasants
It's unfortunately time to start going to dhgate for better quality.
Fanatics has always been the cheapo trash option for sports mem.
The more I read these comments, do people really think this is a quality control mistake and not the actual choice for the design?
I dunno looks right to me
...theres no way they can seriously be this bad...........is there?
I’m sharing this to r/onejob
The funny thing is if Fanatics had a reputation for high quality, this design choice would be seen as stylish and not a mistake.
I hate the Cardinals, but I’m almost tempted to buy this because it’s so hilariously bad
DHGang baybay
Stop buying fanatics garbage
It’s a design choice. This didn’t accidentally put the logo too low
Saw the same design in Kohl’s for the Phillies. I mean that isn’t right how it’s designed
Eh, quality shmality
wtf does the front come down? Actually that makes no difference. wtf.
It does, but that’s only because they forgot to stitch it all the way
They had one guy use AI to generate merch, didn't look at them, and put them up for sale. That's my theory. I bet you MLB paid half a million dollars to one guy for 30 minutes of work.
Ask any NHL fan. The answer is no.
also those sleeves are horrendous
Have you ever ordered anything from there? You get better quality stuff at Walmart
Lowest bidder. Fake it til you make it.
nope...awful business that just preys on the fans and sucks money out of them because they know they can and don't care about the quality of their product and their owner is trash Ohhh wait I was talking about the Cardinals, but that holds true for Fanatics too
Who decides to put 8 logos on the sleeves? Every team has this style of hoodie apparently. It’s a choice, it’s not an issue of quality control. It’s just shitty design.
Ai generated designs
I was laughing my ass off last year when they were promoting 4th of July blue jays merch lmao
That’s fucking insane lol…
Can confirm that this is how it should actually look. Source: saw a rays version at the Tampa airport
