Fanatics signs 10 year deal to be uniform supplier of NHL

[Honour Over Glory]

Fanatics flex fit NHL hats might be the worst fit I've ever tried on by a "legit" hat company with a license like this.

I tried on 15 different S/M Flex fit hats of theirs, all new mind you, each one was different and not by a little, but a lot. I still don't get how blokes here want to act like the NHL is going to jump up in revenue to compete with the big leagues all the while having a licensing company that is worse than chinese made knock-offs.

Washington in the NFL went by Washington Football Team (WFT) for a couple of seasons and when they changed to the Washington Commanders, many fans wish they were WFT again lol

I wonder if they just end up keeping Utah HC, I know they said they wouldn't but I wouldn't be surprised if it's considered

I think part of the dynamic with the WFT/Commanders controversy was the 90+ years of the community attachment to the Washington Redskins.

“Washington Football Team” feels like less of a departure from tradition than Commanders, and is even generic enough that it could‘ve referred to the team while they were still the Redskins.

Since Utah has no prior history, I don’t think moving to a new nickname will face the same resistance

Good timing. I'm pushing 40 and my interest in buying jerseys has faded, plus my son is at the age where anything we buy him would be good for a year at most, so not really feeling compelled to fork over a load of dough for a jersey even if they were high quality. The stuff I saw at Comiskey a week ago was underwhelming, too.

Granted, I didn't see a masterpiece there like this even though the A's were the road team.

I thought this was photoshopped, but it's real. I'd like the Ass hat, please!

You mean to tell me this doesnt scream quality
A slight gust of wind and even a light rain and that logo is on the ground.

The AL West is great.

These companies making bad decisions and terrible products is actually saving me a ton of money.

I hate Fanatics but selling the actual authentics for the first time in a while is actually a huge W.

Yes, they are expensive but if they are like the Reebok authentics were, they will be absolutely worth it.

I have a couple Bruins Reebok authentics from back in like 2010 (I think they were ~$375 at the time) and they still look fresh off of the shelf, not a single thread out of place.
