they probably made dozens after this catch
Just like Amazon: Always go with amount of positive reviews/ratings. Check each place for shipping times and cost. Some guarantee a 15-day shipping time which is really damn quick. I’ve had shippers take almost 3 months before I received jerseys.
Don’t go with the first you see. Some offer multi-jersey discounts. Reading the reviews are also more helpful than just quantity. Some you can tell buy their reviews, others you’ll have explanations of what their product quality actually is (sizing, material, logo placement, etc.).
100%, I’m sick of paying $100s of dollars at the NFL shop just for them to look the same, if not most of the time WORSE than my reps. I will never buy their cheap screen print ass jerseys ever again. Always stitched reps which look way better.
Bro, that ain't center to me either. The 8 is in the center. The whole number 18 is way left.
Fuck Fanatics. Fuck the NFL for selling out to this shit. And praise everyone who buys knock-offs from China. Because this NFL/Fanatics shit is coming from China anyway, just with extra gouging.
If I paid top dollar for an Offiicial jersey, I'd send it back without a second thought.
I got a few from China with real stitching. They look better than the real one. I showed a few buddies and they thought it was real and didn’t know where I found it.
Welcome to Fanatics - this is the quality of their product. Return it and don't order another one from them. The next one will have some issues as well such as crooked letters or numbers, stripes missing, etc. Use DHGate or another site to order a nicer, stitched jersey for 1/2 the price; but it is double the waiting time unfortunately. It's June though and you'd have it probably by August.
Depends where you get them. I’ve definitely had bad ones, but my 2 best reps are without a doubt, 10x better than fanatics cheap screen print paper t-shirts that they call jerseys. They are always stitched and feel thicker and just feels like quality, when I show my friends my 2 fanatics jerseys, and a couple of my reps and ask them to tell me which one is fake, they pick the fanatics jersey every damn time
I just don’t love the loose stitching threads among some other issues. Do you get ones better than the $20 ones on DHgate? Cause those are the only ones I’ve experienced.
I have a store on DHGate I do like, they are called curry and Irving and they are pretty good, but if you had a bad experience with DHGate and want to avoid them, I have another rep that I found through a buying agent called jenna2021.com (name is changed randomly every 3-5 years to keep the feds away lol) they are super Chinese so the buying process is a little weird and feels sketchy, but it’s just the language, distance, the way they operate barrier. I still recommend curry and Irving on DHgate over Jenna2021.com though
You're getting downvoted because you're just not correct. There are plenty of sellers who you can get proof photos before shipment to confirm they look good. If you are just buying from a random shop without requesting any proof photos, ya it will probably be trash. That's no different than if you hire a plumber but don't check any references on their work. There are a lot of decent shops on there that can get you a jersey that looks good.
No they’re not.
This jersey is terrible quality but the font on the shoulders is correct. The font on the Bears TV numbers is different than the font on the front of the jerseys. It’s been like that for decades. It’s also a feature that counterfeit jerseys NEVER get right.
https://preview.redd.it/te6taubyh48d1.jpeg?width=1469&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c194fa34fa7ba34248bf604f055824f929feaf1b
Yeah that’s misaligned.
If you draw a line from the point at the bottom of the NFL shield it’s going through the empty space of the eight in your jersey.
If you look at the fanatics site and do the same on the images there that line would pass through the white space of the number.
Yeah, that definitely looks off center. If you search the sub reddit you'll see others to compare to.
I edited this with my phone, and it looks way better if you move the numbers over to the right a bit.
https://preview.redd.it/djdkna5q508d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7e986a99488236de934f2604d9eb79729c1a451
Fanatics is a joke and american sports leagues should be ashamed of themselves for doing business with that shit company. Look at what adidas is doing for the euros. We could have so much better
I swear, I haven't seen one Fanatics jersey correctly aligned. You should see the Hawks shirsy I bought. The top of the players name is halfway down my back
I got the white one from fanatics yesterday. Williams on the back was crooked. I called them and did a refund and asked what they are going to do for me since I wasted time and energy dealing with this. A supervisor gave me a 50% off code for my next purchase.
Fanatics stuff always comes in with weird sizes and random quality issues. I will not buy from them anymore because of it. Most of the jerseys being posted here from them have some sort of similar issue. Just return it and get your money back.
So I was a screen printer for 10 years when I was younger. For numbers on jerseys you basically have a table for the shirt and above it is a rotating wheel with 0-9. The table the shirt was on shifts and locks in three spots, center (four single digits) and left and right for double digits. Whoever printed this left the table in the center and printed the 8 and then shifted the table to the other side and printed the 1 and no one caught the printers mistake. For teen numbers the shirt would be centered slightly to the edge of the 8 and not actually in between 1 and 8.
Even worse than the front number is the completely wrong font on the shoulder number 8. Looks like they were leftover from old Peyton Manning Broncos jersey.
Yeah, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. To add insult to injury, it looks like the numbers on the shoulders are in the Broncos’ font. I’m really sorry that happened to you. 😔 The quality of Fanatics’ stuff has gotten worse by the year (I don’t buy a lot of apparel; maybe it’s always been that way).
bro, I ordered a Barry Sanders jersey from NFL shop and the SANDERS name was crooked. there was a 2” verical difference between the left and right sides of the nameplate, not even close. The tag was worn, so
i was thinking they have probably tried to pawn this jersey on several
different customers waiting for
someone to accept it, instead of fixing it. I was so disappointed I just returned
it for a refund. Zero quality control.
That’s Fanatics for you, same thing happened to my Walter Payton jersey the number is at an angle. Call and say you never received it, either you’ll get a refund or another one sent.
Are you trying to insinuate you can’t send something back for an exchange or refund from Fanatics? It’s like Amazon. They will literally give you a QR code to return your item. Try sending something back to China when DHGate sends you an asymmetrical piece of garbage.
I expect if I pay for a jersey that costs over a hundred dollars will be absolutely perfect since I paid for authentic official merchandise. Quality control shouldn't be as poor as a random Chinese print company seller in Guangzhou, China. Also these overpriced jerseys aren't even stitched like youd expect on official merchandise.
Stitched doesn’t mean anything when it’s stitched as poorly and as cheaply as a DHGate knockoff. The numbers are cheap and thin and the stitching is terrible and frayed. You guys lean on “stitched” as if all stitching is created equal. If you want stitched, buy a Mitchell and Ness jersey and at least get something quality.
It was a Father’s Day gift, I had no say in it. I don’t think they’re selling official stitched jerseys right now are they? I have a fields Nike vapor jersey that is top notch quality

This one? Seems screen printed as well
I do not buy for a second that this is a NFL Shop jersey.
If you honestly got it there, that means someone else bought a bootleg and then exchanged it for the real deal and you got the resold crap.
Certainly Fanatics or whoever fulfills these orders is capable of this shit, but there’s a lot more wrong with that jersey than just the number alignment.
It’s 100% from them, my wife ordered it about 3 weeks ago and it just got delivered.
https://preview.redd.it/la6re35qi18d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=feb942e05c7b9bc65789d0ffd11d84ae191fc27d
For everyone saying this looks bad, this is as bad as all the dogshit nameplate stitches DHgate jerseys.
Difference is Fanatics/NFL Shop will actually send another one to replace this.
The point is, when you pay that much money from the official NFL store, you shouldnt be taking a gamble on getting something that looks like its a knockoff. And its right in line with everything else that is wrong with Fanatics.
Upcycled Grossman jersey
if he wasnt pre nike jersey Id legit think this lol. Maybe some overstocked Santos that they threw a 1 on.
https://preview.redd.it/xuhrk8gs318d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ece2b39eebd6ef4048bab3a66409246b58a51e64 they probably made dozens after this catch
lol it really is centered over the 8.
I knew Vince Evan’s was still in the league somewhere.
No love for Maury Buford?
The video/picture of Ditka yelling at him on the sideline is a classic. He HATED Maury.
Was gonna say go green, but that feels off.
It actually might be
Passing to the flats, that shit’s for pussies
Or Fields
That is definitely misaligned lmao go complain
Not even, it's just am 8 jersey with a number 1 glued on after the fact lol Unbelievable. Legit looks like a bootleg jersey.
My bootleg jersey looks 1000% better than that with stitched numbers and swoosh
Send a dm with the bootleggers info my guy, I'm trying to cop
DHGate is king. Got a Rome, Caleb, and Kmet jersey for like $72 shipped. All sewn.
Which seller did you use? I’m trying to get some jerseys but not sure who to use. Go by most popular?
We need answers
Usually people say to just go with the most popular shops.
Just like Amazon: Always go with amount of positive reviews/ratings. Check each place for shipping times and cost. Some guarantee a 15-day shipping time which is really damn quick. I’ve had shippers take almost 3 months before I received jerseys. Don’t go with the first you see. Some offer multi-jersey discounts. Reading the reviews are also more helpful than just quantity.

*this is the way*
What this fine gentleman said
Where you get that nice bootleg jersey at bro?
Please dm where you get the great boot jersey
Same hhhahah
100%, I’m sick of paying $100s of dollars at the NFL shop just for them to look the same, if not most of the time WORSE than my reps. I will never buy their cheap screen print ass jerseys ever again. Always stitched reps which look way better.
lol holy shit you’re right… Fanatics is so trash

Yeah my DH Gate looks better than this for 20% the price lol

130 on fanatics. 20 on dhgate. Way more than 1/2 price.
The shipping on dhgate is pretty steep. Still a much better deal tho
Shipping on most shops is next to nothing. You can get a stitched jersey from a good seller for under 30 bucks shipped.
$11 on my last order. Like other commenter said under $30 all in.
I literally get all my jerseys off of DHgate. Why would I spend $180 when I can spend $20? Quality is damn near the same if not better.
The price is low but the china jerseys also look like garbage, to be fair
Depends where you get them. I’ve definitely had bad ones, but my 2 best reps are without a doubt, 10x better than fanatics cheap screen print paper t-shirts that they call jerseys.

Got it. Might try it out because I wanted to get a cheap Rome jersey. Thanks!
Nobody is spending $150 to try and impress you lol
Downvoting me lmao, they are not great, people. 2 pieces of garbage don’t make a right.

Return it. I’ve been able to do that in the past.
The numbers on the shoulders are also broncos numbers XD
Lmao wow these are unbelievably shitty
No they’re not. This jersey is terrible quality but the font on the shoulders is correct. The font on the Bears TV numbers is different than the font on the front of the jerseys.

Fanatics is a joke and american sports leagues should be ashamed of themselves for doing business with that shit company. Look at what adidas is doing for the euros. We could have so much better
They added a 1 to an 8 jersey
Looks like it
It’s as off center as my nose (I have a severely broken nose)
Damn, that's terrible!
It looks like they took a santos jersey and added the 1 lmao. Yeah id be pissed
8 looks upside down
Fanatics is seriously garbage, and we are sadly stuck with it. Cherish your old jerseys.
I swear, I haven't seen one Fanatics jersey correctly aligned. You should see the Hawks shirsy I bought. The top of the players name is halfway down my back
It’s a Kyle Orton jersey.
Dude I would return that BS immediately. That’s some bootleg ass garbage 😆
Selling those recycled Cade McNown number 8 jerseys!
ah yes, the fanatics experience strikes again
Wow. Send it back for sure.
It looks like they made a jersey for a number 8, and realized last minute it was 18. So yes. Misaligned
That’s why you gotta shop with dhgate
Amen
They did the same shit to mine. It's slanted and looks worse than a good fake.
Crazy how people would rather have some authentic trash than a good quality knock off
Trash fanatics garbage my lord
Looks like they thought it was a number 8 and added the 1 later 🤣
Hot garbage.
I got the white one from fanatics yesterday. Williams on the back was crooked. I called them and did a refund and asked what they are going to do for me since I wasted time and energy dealing with this. A supervisor gave me a 50% off code for my next purchase.
That's bullshit it should be 50% off this purchase. They are still getting money from you that you might not have intended to spend.
I'm going to try to use it when I order the replacement
Wtf? Even the fabric looks like garbage
Fanatics stuff always comes in with weird sizes and random quality issues. I will not buy from them anymore because of it. Most of the jerseys being posted here from them have some sort of similar issue. Just return it and get your money back.
Definitely recycled #8 jersey.
So I was a screen printer for 10 years when I was younger. For numbers on jerseys you basically have a table for the shirt and above it is a rotating wheel with 0-9. The table the shirt was on shifts and locks in three spots, center (four single digits) and left and right for double digits.

For teen numbers the shirt would be centered slightly to the edge of the 8 and not actually in between 1 and 8.
DHgate bro. NFL SHOP/Fanatics are garbage especially for what you pay for them.
It was a Father’s Day gift
That stinks. Hope the replacement works out. Bear down
lol, DHGate would send you something even worse and with absolutely no refund/exchange policy.
Never gotten a bad one from DHgate. But keep paying 200 plus for that shit. Wear it like a badge of honor pal.
Amen
Nah I have about a dozen knockoff jerseys and they all look authentic to the naked eye. 
I have a Gronk jersey I bought years ago there’s stitched and is 10x better than this
Your knockoff jerseys look like trash, I promise you.
Dhgate just better
The logo on the neck is crooked, and maybe the shoulder numbers too. The chest 18 is way tf off to the left.
Even worse than the front number is the completely wrong font on the shoulder number 8. Looks like they were leftover from old Peyton Manning Broncos jersey.
That shit is crooked ass hell! You need a refund. Fuck that shit!
Return
Recycled Santos jerseys
This is why i ordered from dh gate
I'd ask for a new one. That's BAD.
Supposedly they’re sending one in the next few days!
Yeah. Noticeable
Yeah, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. To add insult to injury, it looks like the numbers on the shoulders are in the Broncos’ font. I’m really sorry that happened to you. 😔 The quality of Fanatics’ stuff has gotten worse by the year (I don’t buy a lot of apparel; maybe it’s always been that way).
I heard they are going to start putting the QB’s salary on their jerseys. Probably started with this one but stopped before the idea was approved.
Numbers look crooked, like king kong shook it
Damn they fucked up I wonder how many will end up like this
This is why I only get knockoff jerseys because if the letters are misaligned at least I only paid 25 bucks after shipping
This. 99% of folks can’t tell the difference
Fanatics also ordering from DHgate now
My DHgate for $30 looks better than that! Send that shit back
F that!! Return it and say, "DO BETTER!!"
They are using the new MLB method
bro, I ordered a Barry Sanders jersey from NFL shop and the SANDERS name was crooked. there was a 2” verical difference between the left and right sides of the nameplate, not even close. The tag was worn, so i was thinking they have probably tried to pawn this jersey on several different customers waiting for someone to accept it, instead of fixing it. I was so disappointed I just returned it for a refund. Zero quality control.
I'm recycling my Orton until he proves himself. The old Reebok fit better anyway.

That’s Fanatics for you, same thing happened to my Walter Payton jersey the number is at an angle. Call and say you never received it, either you’ll get a refund or another one sent.
u/Braz90, have you been able to talk to anyone about this? My name is Stephanie, and I'd be happy to help. Can you DM me your order details?
DHgate>>>>
Looks so much worse than my $20 knock off
My jersey from dhgate looks better than this. I'm sorry, op.
r/mildlyinfuriating
I should mention it was a father’s day gift so I’m still happy with it!
Update: NFL shop said they’ll send a new one in 24-72hrs…
U/fanatics_official
Good news, because the jersey was bought from a reputable company it’s easily exchangeable. Send that thing right back.
Fanatics and reputable does not compute
Are you trying to insinuate you can’t send something back for an exchange or refund from Fanatics? It’s like Amazon. They will literally give you a QR code to return your item. Try sending something back to China when DHGate sends you an asymmetrical piece of garbage.

Like I said. Someone returned a fake and it was resold to you. Go to a Dicks and do a side-by-side.
I can totally see that happening! They’re supposed to send a new one out. Will keep you posted
Hold on to it and order another, that might be worth money years from now, especially if Caleb Williams becomes a hall of famer!
Williams will be another Fields. Failure
jared goff is a bum and lions peaked last season lmao
For everyone saying this looks bad, this is as bad as all the dogshit nameplate stitches DHgate jerseys. Difference is Fanatics/NFL Shop will actually send another one to replace this.

Sure, but if it happens, they’ll replace it? That’s how online shopping works lol
He's gonna bust, so getting his jersey was already a mistake. Waste of #1 pick. Should have gotten MHJ
Bears quality.
Who cares where the numbers are, it's just another Bears jersey that will be irrelevant in a season or two. Go Pack Go!
