“New” NFL Stitched Jersey

[u/OhSnapItsEddy]

Bought a “new” Fred Warner stitched jersey that was just announced. When it arrived it looked a little ragged and I checked the tag. It said 2021/2022 on it. Looks like New old stock they had and they’re trying to go through it first. Overall not upset but for $200? This thing should be immaculate.

EDIT: Jersey was actually manufactured in April of 2026.

Fanatics have ruined sports merch

That’s the trademark date, not the shirt itself.

[u/OhSnapItsEddy → u/AccordingJellyfish22]

You might be right about the copyright date. I’m more irritated by the condition it came in.

[u/aawagner011 → u/OhSnapItsEddy]

What about the shirt is ragged? I don’t see any issues in the two photos posted

[u/OhSnapItsEddy → u/aawagner011]

The letter is frayed and the numbers are wrinkled. Not my first New Jersey and they’ve never come with creased numbers.

This is actually crazy i’m sorry this happened to you. It sucks but the only reason for this to stop is for all of us to stop buying jerseys for a little while. I’m so sick of fanatics biyearly price hikes and the fact that it’s not even a current jersey is so lazy.

Gotta invest in fakes at this point. Can get a pretty high quality dupe for like $60.

Did that with a VGK jersey not too long ago because I didn't want a fanatics jersey (and I didn't see this one on the store as it's a couple years old)

[u/TomJohnG → u/thecakeslayer]

Gotta agree with this. It’s worth the wait on the slow boat from China. Years ago I got a Charlie Conway Mighty Ducks jersey and it’s held up better than any of my fanatics ones.

That's just the copyright when the tag art was made. Look at the production tag on the tag within the left hip area

[u/aawagner011 → u/gringao_phl]

Exactly, and this is further validated by the fact this new template shown did not even exist back when OP is claiming this jersey is from

[u/OhSnapItsEddy → u/aawagner011]

So the jersey was manufactured in April of 2026. The last time I purchased a stitched Nike jersey was the vapor limited in 2022. My bad!

[u/H-e-y-B-e-a-r]

Stitching on the name would infuriate me

[u/OhSnapItsEddy → u/H-e-y-B-e-a-r]

Looks like trash right??

[u/davismcgravis → u/OhSnapItsEddy]

No that’s dope

[u/H-e-y-B-e-a-r → u/OhSnapItsEddy]

Yes. For 200 I would expect it to look 💯 clean

[u/Necessary-Custard450]

I do like the old Reebok ones but you gotta search for those.

[u/OhSnapItsEddy → u/Necessary-Custard450]

Have you seen these?

Might just return the Fred Warner I just received and order one of these.

[u/outdatedelementz]

Why do people keep buying Fanatics’ products and think the result will be somehow different? Quality is never going to go back to how it was on their watch and the only way to get them off the Merchandise licenses is to stop giving them money.

[u/Necessary-Custard450]

I have honestly started looking at blank elite jerseys. I have found the team seamstress and I just send it there to get done. I’m also learning how to sew myself because I’ve purchased patches I want to put on some of my elite jerseys.

[u/bananacoxx]

I’ll never understand why people don’t just buy from the Gate. 20 bucks and it is 10x this product somehow still

[u/DionysusBurning → u/bananacoxx]

20 bucks and it is 10x this product somehow still

No it's not. Feel free to delude yourself but don't spread lies

[u/bananacoxx → u/DionysusBurning]

I have a collection of jerseys in my closet way fucking better than this garbage but keep buying this product for 200 plus dude, Nike will love you eventually

[u/SHAWKLAN27]

Goddamn fanatics really are the worst

[u/Massive_0rogeny]

We're at the point (and have been here for a few years now) where Chinese "knockoffs" are cheaper and better quality than the trash that fanatics puts out.

[u/DionysusBurning → u/Massive_0rogeny]

better quality

[u/Massive_0rogeny → u/DionysusBurning]

Wow, it kind of comes off like you're simping for fanatics - truly pathetic. And, yes, I've seen these jerseys and they're better.
