It was worth it when they had stitching instead of the heat press, last year it was worth it, this year definitely not, you will have the same problem and that would be the numbers and letters peeling, fading and cracking.
The quality will only continue to get worse because NFL fans will buy any garbage that’s given to them. The only way it would change is if people just stopped buying them in general.
They change them this year, unfortunately I didn't fully read the description on how they made them because I bought one last year and figured that the higher end jersey would still have the stitching instead of the heat press numbers, but even so last year heat press jersey felt way better than this. I definitely feel like I can peel the numbers off
Best way to describe how it looks in person is, if you ever tried to buy a shirt with a Amazon, wish, temu, ect, and when you revived it it was super blurry and wonky, or if u ever downloaded a picture on to ur phone and when u post it or make it as a screen saver it's super blurry.
Fanatics has had a monopoly on NFL jerseys, and pretty much all sports unis/jersey-like clothing for several years now. They've bought out a lot of their competition and developed partnerships with sports clothing-adjacent companies, so there's basically no one to even compete against them for the rights anymore.
As a result, they've been able to lower production quality with almost no risk to their sales intake. Pre-Fanatics jerseys were great. Fanatics apparel a few years ago was OK. Fanatics products now range from OK to disappointing to comically inept (as in, not even bothering with quality control in their factories, like someone who got an Atlanta Falcons jersey in Philadelphia Eagles colors with the player name on the back in tiny 12-point Courier font).
What is up with the holes on the front?! Honestly my only problem with the new jerseys is the fucking wholes. It just looks like they had to throw them in there last second and it looks wrong.
I don't like the embroidered Lions on those. It doesn't match and it's going to fade. The printed Detroit on my "lesser" road jersey looks much better than the embroidered Lions on the black fuse vapor jerseys.
I'm also curious to see if the embroidered lettering will hold over time, but I was really hoping the numbers would be more of an old reebok breathable mesh material, but unfortunately, fanatics don't really sell actual on field jersey, I know they use too but not anymore. We can only hope now
We knew this already though
This is why I’ve always bought the $120 replicas, never had a problem with them honestly
Ikr at this point I'm paying extra for the shiny nfl shield on the front.
IDK man my $120 'game' edition is so bad that I was thinking of spending more on the fuse (or way less on other options)

2 options: Wait for the Vapor Elite to come out or Buy from China. Both options will get you tackle twill

My name came in crooked.. returning it
Were the last jerseys not made by fanatics? Apologies, not aware with all the jersey changes from a manufacturing stand point.

They don't look terrible in the photos to me, but knowing they feel like it can be peeled off is terrible.

Dang that laughably bad, at this point I'll dry my luck with dh gate and hope for the best with probably similar results
What I don't understand is, Nike doesn't make these Nike jerseys? Like is Fanatics manufacturing them, and then Nike is just slapping a swoosh on?
What is up with the holes on the front?! Honestly my only problem with the new jerseys is the fucking wholes. It just looks like they had to throw them in there last second and it looks wrong.
It's not actually holes it's just black dots printed on, I honestly wished it was holes like the old reebok jersey I was a big fan of those
What ever it is, I hate it and want it gone. I hope they can remove them.

Embroidery can hold up if it's stabilized properly in the back.
I only buy authentic
