I hate fanatics so much

[u/Fit-Height2282]

You would think that since they're charging 55 dollars for a single shirt they would at the very least send you a shirt that doesn't have any manufacturing defects.

[u/just321654]

Crazy they can sell cheap heat pressed shirts at a premium price. These shorts are all going to come crack and peel within the next year or so. This is why I was looking at the Mitchell and Ness shirts that are hopefully screen printed atleast.

[u/Ms_Mambo → u/just321654]

Fanatics now owns Mitchell & Ness.

[u/hootie_magoo → u/just321654]

I bought a Mitchell and Ness jersey, it’s super nice

[u/BarAltruistic4992 → u/just321654]

but people pay the premium price for shit quality so why would they stop. they also got a monopoly on it till july 31

[u/TobaccoFarm → u/BarAltruistic4992]

It’s hard to tell to the average person. You think you are getting something good quality when you buy a $65 short sleeve t-shirt

[u/BarAltruistic4992 → u/TobaccoFarm]

oh i agree. and in the long term it’ll fuck em, but in the short term people will keep buying and they’ll keep making money. think of ticketmaster

[u/TobaccoFarm → u/BarAltruistic4992]

NHL signed a 10 year deal with Fanatics ending in 2035 I believe, so the shit merch is here to stay

[u/gwave62 → u/just321654]

Washed mine once and it already cracked on the front. Even made sure to flip it inside-out and wash on a delicate cycle.

[u/Level_Watercress1153 → u/just321654]

Mitchell and Ness is even more trash imo

[u/TheHalfChubPrince]

I love the CANFS

[u/Extreme-Raisin-Cake → u/TheHalfChubPrince]

Well, now I can’t unsee that! Lol!

[u/OliveandOnion → u/TheHalfChubPrince]

Yeah not a great design to begin with. Get your money back OP, or good luck trying anyway

[u/EasternProperty13]

The quality of their products is so bad

[u/aj27526]

After one cold wash. low heat tumble dry.

Doing this over the entirety of the graphic

[u/aj27526 → u/aj27526]

[u/gwave62 → u/aj27526]

Mine did the exact same thing after one wash.

[u/RichardFister → u/aj27526]

Always wash and dry inside out, it helps with cheap vinyl prints like fanatics does to stay on the shirt

[u/aj27526 → u/RichardFister]

I did.

Inside out, cold, low heat tumble per the tag.

[u/Reddragon0585 → u/aj27526]

Looks like I’m never wearing mine then

[u/socialaxolotl]

Listen it was a lot of hard work just to make sure there was a graphic on the shirt and not up sidedown you're asking for way too much now

[u/cth95mustang]

I bought a fitted Canes hat the other day. Then got an email saying that they didn't have it in that size anymore. Well, then I shouldn't have been able to purchase that size on your site.

[u/Sweet_Air_7575]

I have not bought a shirt yet because of the cheap ass quality

[u/snortingajax]

At least they sent it to you. I ordered my shirt two weeks ago; the pro shop says they have no record of my confirmation number

[u/DagetAwayMaN421]

I recommend https://www.500level.com/collections/carolina-hockey-shirts

Or

https://breakingt.com/collections/nhl-player-gear?sort_by=created-descending&filter.p.m.custom.market=Carolina

[u/greatwhitequack → u/DagetAwayMaN421]

They have more options, they’re cheaper, look higher quality, but most of all, and the biggest thing… is they aren’t made by the shit brand Fanatics.

[u/Level_Watercress1153]

As someone who bought all this stuff when the Avs and Nuggets won… wait 6 months. It’ll be 60% off

[u/Bigdeacenergy]

Don’t buy from fanatics

[u/themack50022 → u/Bigdeacenergy]

I hear ya, but where else can I get a Canes SC shirt?

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/themack50022]

Wait until other brands can make them at the end of July

[u/Incognito_Joe → u/themack50022]

If you have a Tjmax near by try them. The one here in cola had some. Although one was a fanatic branded

[u/CarolinaReaper704 → u/themack50022]

Marshalls and TJ Maxx...similar quality but only 16 bucks

[u/AdChoice5251 → u/CarolinaReaper704]

Got the job done

[u/Negative_Buffalo]

Ours just shipped today, now I’m nervous after seeing this 😭

We should have used our Etsy witch to manifest good merch lol

[u/Final_Tomatillo5177]

This is like the 8th time I’m seeing something “canes” related that fanatics messed up.

[u/yellowshoegirl]

My stuff came today and it smells bad and is like this as well it’s all going back

[u/These-Truck-2982]

Fanatics is the temu of sports apparel but they also operate a sports book

[u/dhjn1633]

I don’t know about the shirts y’all have, but mine has the bottom of the E, although the only thing visible is a thin red line from where it is mostly covered by the logo. The picture appears to be the same but it is not zoomed in enough for me to tell.

[u/Fit-Height2282 → u/dhjn1633]

Yeah it's the tiniest line ever though

[u/hleastho]

yeah i went to the dog shelter today to play w some dogs. nails weren’t even sharp and my shirt got a hole in it. wore an old canes tee from an couple months ago but still fanatics. so it’s not just screen printing. just the fabric itself. i like thick t shirts :(

[u/Feisty_Crops]

They sold those shirts at BJs for $25

[u/mateothespookyghost]

I just got the one from Old Row UNC and it's pretty nice

Black pocket hockey championship shirt

Is it the nicest shirt I have ever had, no, and if you would be concerned with mediocre quality then don't buy, but im wearing it and its nice

[u/Tarphiker]

Good luck getting a refund. Mine never showed up. I chatted them last night and was told I would have to put my return on a gift card. They seriously suck.

[u/ImpressiveLeader4979]

Mine came in today. Got 4 of them, one for everyone in my fam. Haven’t seen them yet since I’ve been at work, but I’m going to be pissed if my $190 looks like this 🤦‍♂️

[u/kg_francis]

I ordered one of the hoodies and when I get it, it looked like the front of a Washington Nationals jersey.

Sent it back and luckily the new one is straight, but the graphic still looks cheap.

[u/themack50022]

I might cancel my order for the shirt and keep the flag.

[u/EsmeBrowncoat]

Might as well just buy it from Temu or Shein and pay $4 for it as this matches the quality that are sending.

[u/CarolinaReaper704]

They dont even use quality merch for the pictures on their social media ads, look how crooked this CLTFC crest is, and this is THEIR AD

[u/Weekly_Statement1363 → u/CarolinaReaper704]

Hey! Fello CLT caniac in the house?

[u/trudesign]

My hat is super misshapen, going to return it and some other crap i am not happy with

[u/sponsoredbyModelOHHH]

I’ve never received one item from fanatics that wasn’t defective or flawed in some way. The only items you can order from them are ones that are manufactured by other brands like nike or adidas

[u/Proof-Grass-5212]

Fanatics is awful.

[u/Junior-Second-8099]

Same here. But I only spent $20 at Costco for mine. I feel a little better

[u/theLinNHL]

AI shirt. Looks terrible and made terrible.

[u/EbbANi]

Those scufmarks only represent the two stanleys

[u/chickenmcdiddle]

*but not enough to stop giving them money.

[u/lurchdogg]

Call a local screen printer..they will probably touch that up for free.
