    In this case, Fanatics is making what Nike templated out and ordered. Nike is who made the choice to move off of the prior Majestic template that was still in use. 

    NHL game jerseys are going to be continued to produced by SP Apparel in Quebec, and they won't be altering the cuts until 2026-27, so we've got a little time. 

    Fanatics plays a role for sure.  They're monopolizing sports apparel and have more than enough power to have some sort of say.

    This seems like a microcosm of society.  Some team of folks put these together and thought they looked good.  I don't think it was the goal to save money it was just people being really bad at their job.  Whether it was Nike or MLB that helped design, they did not know their market.

     

     

    They're a business.  It's ALWAYS about money.  Nike didn't really move away from leather footwear because of innovation.  It's always about money.

    Majestic Athletic had a factory in PA.  Then, it seems Nike was just slapping a swoosh on Majestic Athletic jerseys.  Now that Nike is finally manufacturing their own, this is the quality we will get.  I really wonder what Under Armour would have done.  And I dread the day New Era is pushed out.

    I can get on board with that. Just don’t think it automatically makes Fitzgerald a bad person that it happened during his tenure. He may not have been aware.

     

    And I didn’t know who he was before this week.

    Pretty naive to believe that the head coach was completely unaware of years of systemic hazing, bullying, and abuse happening right under his nose.

    Making black assistant coaches cut their dreads wasn't a good look either.

    New era literally came out with a line of hats that displays your hat size as the logo 

     

     

    Not even as bad as their "inside-out" caps from a few years back, I think.11407006_fpx.tif?op_sharpen=1&wid=700&he

    I call it fake scarcity. It's the newest scam to jack up prices. We've mass produced everything too successfully. So now we have to give the illusion of scarcity. You see it in everything, from pizza to baseball hats.

    Definitely the case with most collectibles.  New Era fitted caps in theme-inspired color combinations and random patches now go for up to $60 from certain boutiques in smaller quantities that instantly sell out and then $150+ resale.  It's definitely entrenched in that limited edition streetwear culture right now.  It'll die down eventually though...but the cost of a basic New Era Sox cap is at about $45 and only going up.  And of course, the quality has gone down significantly, especially since they are no longer made in the USA.

    I was at the game. Upper deck was more full than lower. More staff at the park than I've seen in like 10 years, so at least they've listened there. That said, with ten people sitting in the lower deck, they wouldn't let anyone down there. So dumb on a day like today.

    Sox gave CPS families and staff free tickets for today and tomorrow.  I was expecting more tbh
