Fans Outraged Over Quality of Fanatics NHL Merch
It's been some time since the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs concluded, and as Vegas fans have started to receive their team merchandise, they've noticed a major issue. Will Fanatics ever learn?
Fanatics Quality is in Shambles
Fanatics has long been the NHL's source of fanware, supplying most clothing items such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and more. While they have quite the grip on major league sports fanware, they will also soon have the sole manufacturing rights to the NHL's jerseys.
This comes after the NHL announced it would not be renewing its jersey manufacturing deal with its current partner, Adidas, who has by all accounts been an amazing manufacturer.
Fans are worried about the impending dip in quality among NHL jerseys and for good reason.
Poor Quality Control or Just Lazy?
As fans have begun to receive their Stanley Cup Champions merchandise, a common theme is being noticed. The quality control on most of these items is absolute garbage. Take a look for yourself.
The images speak for themselves. This is just truly awful work by Fanatics and something they should be ashamed of.
The NHL and their fans deserve better, but Gary Bettman doesn't care.
