And that brings us to the fans. When jersey dispatches trickled in from camps in Florida and Arizona, #DHGate began trending on social media. Less discerning shoppers might think that referred to J.D. Martinez remaining unsigned into late February.

No, DHGate is an online shopping vendor that bills itself as a “Top-notch China Wholesale Marketplace.” And perhaps that’s not the association MLB, Nike and Fanatics imagined when they trotted these babies out.

It's Fanatics.  They are a freaking disaster.

There’s a stadium funding transparency joke in there somewhere, too, but I am too braindead right now to think of it.

Honestly how did Nike mess this up so badly.  You are NIKE, one of the world’s top athletic wear producers!  What the hell lmao

It's both Nike and Fanatics. Fanatics makes giant posters, hats and accessories. They don't make uniforms. They never have. I've seen Temu jerseys that look better. Nike screwed up because they wanted that contract so bad so they could put their check on the uniform. They got it, then they subcontracted the job to Fanatics. And shame on MLB for allowing them to do that.

Fanatics owns Majestic. They're perfectly capable but

1) They're doing it cheaply

2) Nike doesn't understand that baseball uniforms aren't like other sports
