I am pretty sure the Eagles just crashed Fanatics with the Kelly Green merch drop. And I'm not even exaggerating, the site was fine for me an hour ago, but won't load now after they released it all
This is why we can't have nice things. People still flock to Fanatics.

And so I begin an adventure with Fanatics. Less than a 0% chance that it ships today but should be fun to see when it turns into November or something.

The rest of the blouses say September 8th.

I mean don't get me wrong, I would love to swing by the stadium and shop and only buy in person, but I don't have that option being 8 hours away.


Don't cut yourself on that edgy personality
Haha the point was that the store at the stadium is ran by Fanatics. There’s no escaping it.

The Eagles Pro Shop is the name of the stores there and in Cherry Hill and Lancaster.

Sorry. Not trying to be. But all I hear about is poor quality and poor QC, but despite that even the people who I know who complain about it constantly go back and buy more from them. I get that it's the only game in town, but why pay a premium for a shoddy product, especially when it reinforces their position in the market and tells them that it's all ok?

This may be ESP's biggest lie ever.

Dude keeps telling people the $175 FUSE jerseys are totally stitched logos and numbers...wronggggg. Numbers and name are still heat pressed. Just the logo is stitched.

I will pay for something that is made by Nike or 47 Brand or New Era, because quite frankly I trust their QC. I don't trust anything that runs through Fanatics. Even if its Nike, I don't trust the sizes that Fanatics will send to me. And anything that needs to be customized (like a jersey), Fanatics does all of the customizing in house. so I will not pay for anything more than a jersey I know is already screen printed. And any sweatshirt or jacket, I always look for embroidered graphics over anything else.

What pisses me off is that it wasn't always like this. I have an Eagles Vick jersey where the name and numbers are printed, but printed onto another fabric that is then stitched onto the jersey with logos that are done the same on the sleeves. Lower quality than the gamers, much higher quality than the usual screen prints, and something I was absolutely willing to pay for back then. I think those cost an extra $40 over the screen printed jerseys, and it felt like it was absolutely worth it.

This shit is just cheap. The stuff I could buy 10 years ago was a better quality than this shit at a cheaper price.

They do not. Some teams have some Vapor’s for sale from past years but no one has had any of the FUSE available and I suspect we never will see them.
Some teams offer them as exclusive in-stadium purchases only. I have heard the Panthers still manage to do this, as they just keep a stock of blank jerseys and the tackle twill stitch names/numbers on in-house. They aren't available online, though.

I have never owned, nor will ever own, a team jersey in any sport, no matter what the color, how great the quality, or what name and number are associated with it.

However, I would be more than happy to walk around town with an authentic RED Atlanta Falcons helmet on my head as I'm washing the car, having dinner with a special someone, or running light errands. It's teh sxe.

And, no, I have not been a Falcons fan since the mid-1970s, but many of you know what I think of that helmet.
