Fanatics signs 10 year deal to be uniform supplier of NHL

[joelef]

It's not a bad thing. People complained about the NHL not being on ESPN despite how bad it was the first time and now people are complaining about ESPN because of how bad it is once again. The league grew just fine without them and will continue to do so.

And honestly who cares that Gatorade didn't want to be a league sponsor. It's not really a big loss in the grand scheme of things. BioSteel has quietly been becoming one of the bigger companies out there and has been linked with NHL players for over a decade. It's actually a smart move by the NHL.

This aged well

Because things don't change over the course of six months?

Trash owner, trash company and trash products. My tshirt I got lasted 1 wash before not fitting and it turned into a cutoff shirt.

Rubins a jock sniffing tool.

Simple stupid t shirt. Material is too thin. Neck is too wide. Feels like it will shrink at first wash. Logo crooked. Cheap like a 1980s iron on. Sleeve cuffs with no distinct end

How much was this? Surely it was like 9'99 at walmart right?????

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

You’d have to pay me to wear Fanatics garbage.

Toilet paper quality jerseys for a shitty league…how fitting.

Sportchek sold Reverse Retro 2.0 jerseys for 50$ CAD and then a few at 20$ CAD.

you haven't been looking...

There's been 2 massive sell offs, when they switched from Clima-lite to Aero Ready and then when they switched from Aeroready to Prime Green.

Fanatics just seems like it's run by a bunch of frat boys

I think it’s more like a TJ Maxx or Jos. A. Bank. Everything is on sale, all the time. The first time you shop, you might think you’re getting a deal. Then you figure out that the sale price is just the price, and that’s the level of quality you’re paying for. Cheap.

 

[BaconNater]

I get so jealous of seeing NFL and NBA teams just churning out cool new merchandise often. NHL has always seemed behind and now the move to fanatics is unfortunate, so many bad reviews I don't even want to purchase anything fanatics

 

[westc2]

Is the Fanatics CEO wearing eye-liner in that interview?

Maybe as part of the deal Auston Matthews is allowed to attend one of Michael Rubin's famous 4th of July parties.

It's a marketing + apparel deal all in one.

 

[joelef]

Fanatics just proves that we can make cheap crap better then China so need to outsource .

more to come surely

just about every week you can find them 20-30% off on Adidas, DSG, nhlshop or fanatics websites.

 

[Hammettf2b]

oof

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

oof

Yikes that is beyond bad. Am worried about this fanatics decade lol

 

[katfude]

at least it wasn't spelled EYESIRMEN

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

I hope the fanatics deal turns into a unmitigated disaster. One, it would be hilarious. Two, it would teach the NHL a lesson for cheaping out on something they should never cheap out on, jerseys.

When do Fanatics have sales other than on garbage no one wants? I am sure they jack up the prices and then have put the on sale because nothing they sell is ever a reasonable price.

 

[Jay26]

Yeah I was pretty dumbfounded when I heard this news. Fanatics is blatant knockoff material.

I won't be buying a new jersey while they have the contract, that's for damn sure. I'll get a new Adidas one this year and be content with that for the next decade.
