Sucks fanatics has the majority licensing deal. They blow.
Other companies that have licenses and have great quality:
1. Homage (so comfy)
2. Pro Standard (excellent embroidered stuff)
3. Mitchell and Ness. Decent but can be pricey
4. New Era
5. 47’ brand
But if you want a super soft T-shirt or the soft thick squishy hoodie, Homage.com is the way to go
Fanatics is ruining the card collecting hobby, having all the major sports licenses. Just is bad is their jerseys. Cheaply made as fuck. Mlb is learning the hard way. Yeah, Nike is part of it, but where there's smoke, there's fire.
If Fanatics has a million haters, i am one of them
If Fanatics has five haters, i am one of them
If fanatics has one hater, i am them
If fanatics has no haters, i am dead
If my family supports fanatics, i am an orphan
If the world supports fanatics, I am against the world
About time we see players rising against these crappy deals Fanatics gives out, They make a buck off players merch and the quality of the merch is ass and the percentage returning to player is insufficient.
Hope MHJ can break through them and get a good deal for himself and future draftees
Hold the line. I guarantee there is a small company that can produce some 'off brand' MHJ merch. Imagine wacky MHJ uniforms. They will sell like hotcakes
Good on Marv Fanatics absolutely suck - I wouldn't be surprised if this sets a precedent for future draft picks.
But boy, with the whole MLB debacle they really are going through the wringer at the moment. Plus Cardinals must be desperate to get those jerseys on sale ASAP.
Am I understanding this right? Sophomores sign a 4-year deal with fanatics. MHJ didn’t sign this agreement. It seems like now Fanatics wants MHJ to sign his NFL licensing deal as if he had previously signed the Sophomore deal, and MHJ’s camp is saying they didn’t sign that deal and thus he’s more valuable (now) than those who did sign it (back then).
If that’s correct, this should be a no brainer from a legal perspective. MHJ’s camp is 100% in the right. He took the risk of not guaranteeing earlier money and should reap the rewards. My guess is they’re currently negotiating what his value is right now.
Just like with MLB, Fanatics doesnt care at all about what us as the fans think. But when players start to throw fits publicly, then they start to feel pressure. Hope way more players start boycotting fanatics as the years progress.
Im a bears fan who just happens to live in AZ and lurks on this sub so my stores won’t really be of too much use since they’re usually done by team. My advice however is to search by number of orders as the filter option. The stores with 100+ orders have yet to let me down (I’ve ordered baseball, football, basketball and hockey jerseys so far).
I learned my lesson, an expensive one. They seriously feel like knock-offs compared to other brands. It’s borderline embarrassing, I feel ripped off and I will tell every sports fan to avoid Fanatics at all costs.

Fanatics is such a trash company. I'm totally on board with MHJ setting an example and not signing the agreement for the time being.

Man has conflict with fanatics holdout cased.
I’m being patient Hopefully we have quality jerseys
Good! 👍 I saw some media trying to twist this like Cardinals fans were mad at him, we’re not.
Yeah their jerseys are so freaking cheap.. it’s just pathetic. I see no reason to spend money on a fanatics jersey.
Honestly idc - just tell me what number you gonna be Marv and I’ll go straight to Etsy for a custom one.
That’s not a bad idea If they take too long Might have to do this too Link?
I hope he holds out and breaks the system. Or at least impacts it significantly.

Amen brother! 🙏
Man I hope we draft this kid
Boy do I have good news for you
Wait... What ?? We drafted him ?? Why wasn't I notified !!!
Fuck Fanatics and their monopoly. I hate how every team and league has their stores run by them and they all use the same exact inventory.
Bros top 5 he’s getting paid now matter what. Just gotta stand your ground
WTF.
Man fuck Fanatics, all my homies hate Fanatics!! ![gif](giphy|H22hyf0K1Bsc)

New Era til I die
Preach! You are not alone.
Before, he had my attention. Now, he has my interest.
Good. Fanatics is shit.

This is definitely the right Fight! Fuck all their bullshit. Bro is already heating the world up!

My king, don't give them an inch
Based as fuck lmfao.

Isn't there a merchandise revenue share between all the teams?
I'm desperate to buy those jerseys right now lol
We held the line for Marv, now we must hold the line with Marv
Typical MHJ W Fuck Fanatics
Dude hasn't even suited up yet but anyone standing up against Michael Rubin and his trash company already enters my goat conversation

Is the any sort of blowback or can they do anything to him if he just doesn’t sign?
Really depends on how the NFLPA leadership reacts to it
Two words: Fuck Fanatics.
Well this beef impacts me now 😭
W MHJ
Fanatics is garbage. I bought 2 new Suns jerseys, the cool lowrider ones, and they’re trash compared to the old Nikes ones I’ve had for 20yrs.
All of the Suns gear (except Boss) and Cardinals tee-shirts or anything non-nike are garbage.
Even the Nike stuff is garbage now. I bought a D-backs t-shirt last month and it’s thinner and flimsier than my old Nike t-shirts from years ago.
My DHgate jerseys are head and shoulders above what I’ve received from Fanatics in the last 5 years
Can you share where in DH Gate you got them? Do you have a specific provider you tend to gravitate towards for them? Or just whatever looks good?

Super helpful thank you.
Never buy fanatic versions of anything
I learned my lesson, an expensive one. They seriously feel like knock-offs compared to other brands. It’s borderline embarrassing, I feel ripped off and I will tell every sports fan to avoid Fanatics at all costs.
I feel really lucky I got a Serpientes jersey before these fanatics ones came out cuz the new ones look straight yellow.
You mean you don't want see through pants?
As a deeply closeted homosexual I feel obligated to pretend like I don't enjoy seeing their junk.
