Had my own "Fanatics Experience" today. Bought my brother a Seider jersey for Christmas. Opened it up to wrap it:
Fanatics signs 10 year deal to be uniform supplier of NHL
- Thread starter Svechhammer
- Start date
Boris Zubov
No relation to Sergei, Joe
Wrap it anyway & see if he notices!

This is Hurricanes Hockey
Wing fans will complain about anything.
Already told him lol.
Story gets worse. When I contacted them to exchange, they have no large jerseys in Seider, Larkin, or Raymond. So essentially shit out of luck on Christmas.
They did give a 50% off coupon for up to $250. Too bad the Seider reverse retro autographed jersey was $265.
He may have to settle for an "NVECHKIO" jersey...

Edge 1.0 jerseys are the most comfortable jerseys ever made.
I regret getting rid of my Sens home jersey because of it, and I don't even like the design.
Premiers were terrible. I would consider the Indo Adidas jerseys to be replicas by definition since the build+materials are not the same and "replicate" authentic jerseys. The quality is fine on them at the right price point. The late era CCM Canadian replicas were also very solid just before the moved them to Indonesia.
If they let you keep the jersey for free, this is a reasonably easy fix with a seam ripper since it is only two letters.
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

C'mon man, Reides has been my favourite Wed Rings player for years!
Miscustomizations happen with every jersey maker. Let's not act as if this is a fanatics exclusive thing.

This is great news. My dyslexic cousin recently got a job working for them. Maybe I can get a discount
Girlfriend ordered a Michigan hoodie for her step Dad and two weeks into the order was notified that it would no longer be in by Christmas. When she cancelled the order they tried docking $16 from her refund for a cancellation fee.
So that's two shit stories just for me in a matter of weeks regarding Fanatics.
You can make mistakes and still be a good company. It doesn't seem they are, which is why people immediately groaned when the NHL signed this deal.
At least they got the number right!!
Seriously though, that’s f***ing awful.
Fanatics are such a joke.
Hopefully you can get your $$ back

8 out of 10 t-shirts or polo I’ve purchased from Fanatics has been rubbish. Sleeves too short, logo crooked, over-sized overall, baggy in weird places. Thankfully, all of my Stanley Cup stuff has been good, but they’ve been so bad, my wife recognizes it and won’t get any of us anything clothing from the NHL until the deal is over.
I’ve seen better stuff from knock off companies.

I never appreciated how good we had it with Koho and CCM back in the day.
To their credit, thank goodness the same manufacturer from all these years is still making the on-ice jerseys. They look fine as years past. Thankfully they didn't abominate them the way they did the MLB jerseys.
Their fan apparel remains awful though. I have ordered two similar items in the same size and there is absolutely no consistency in their products.
