Ready for a long winded Babz rant? Buckle up. Fanatics has absolutely ruined everything when it comes to sports apparel. They’re such a juggernaut now, that it doesn’t matter what we say or do. They’re too big to fail. The quality of everything has gone down hill while the price continues to climb. Maybe it’s a pandemic thing? I just feel everything pre-2020 has quality to it. But then they realized people will still pay top dollar for lesser quality. That’s what we get now. It’s insanity. Listen. Im just a man-child who wears cargo shorts 365 days a year. So my take on fashion doesn’t mean much. Everyone has different tastes. I’m not going to knock anyone on what they personally like. My gripe is that they over saturate the apparel market with really bad quality merch which is over priced. Example. $160 for a fashion jersey (that the team doesn’t even wear) and they look like something you’d buy at the Walmart rack. Maybe you like the style, that’s cool, but it shouldn’t cost the same as the same jersey they wear on the field. You’re getting ripped off. I’ve noticed recently they try to keep up with public image by throwing crumbs at influencers. They’ll ship you free gear in a cool box or have you promote the Fanatics Fest, knowing you’ll talk highly about the company. People love free shit, so why not. It’s a good marketing strategy. Will I continue buying from Fanatics? Yes. If I see something I like, I will get it. Which is part of the problem. I have no choice. I just really wish they didn’t have a stranglehold like they currently do on everything sports. Even look at @drakemayeloverr and what he did with the I ❤️ Drake Maye shirts. Just a unique, fan driven movement that eventually corporations need to get their hands involved to make their buck. I just really wish we didn’t get so ripped off as a society. I’m sick of it.
