Fanatics will be taking over NHL as jerseys supplier next season… I am aware this article is about the MLB, but this is also about Fanatics taking over too. Players and fans are not enjoying the new switch over. Best thing to do is Boycott for good… https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/fanatics-mlb-jerseys-controversy-players-fans-cheap-uniforms/f29a399f4542ba84b9f96e75 Fanatics MLB jerseys controversy, explained: Players, fans express displeasure for 'cheap' uniforms It's safe to say that customers are not "fans" of Fanatics' latest baseball jerseys. With football season officially in the rearview, baseball is on the horizon. Spring training is beginning, as all 32 clubs get geared up for the 2024 MLB season. Rapoport: Commanders introduce Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. as OC and DC, respectively With a new campaign comes new uniforms, and this year, there are distinct differences in the jerseys — not in a good way. The first batch of jerseys provided by Fanatics has been revealed, and the reviews from players and fans are less than stellar. Here's more to know about the controversy surrounding the Fanatics MLB jerseys: MORE: Who is Jenny Cavnar? New A's female broadcaster makes history Fanatics MLB jerseys controversy Players and fans got a sneak preview of what to expect out of the uniforms for the 2024 season, and the result has been extremely disappointing. Reporters have posted pictures of a number of different uniforms, including home whites for the Cardinals and Mariners. The differences between the 2023 and '24 jerseys are significant, and the feedback from the players themselves speaks volumes. "They look cheap," one Cardinals player said. "I don't like them," another Cardinals pitcher said. Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas also said that the uniforms "don't fit right" and that the fabric differs from the material used in the past. The side-by-side of the two Mariners uniforms also details part of what is wrong with the new batch. Not only has the quality taken a hit, but the sizing, particularly of the names, has also shrunk. Several Angels players also took to bashing the new uniforms, including outfielder Taylor Ward, who told The Athletic the new jersey "looks like a replica." “It feels kind of like papery. It could be great when you’re out there sweating, it may be breathable. But I haven’t had that opportunity yet to try that out. But from the looks of it, it doesn’t look like a $450 jersey," Ward said. "So far, thumbs down." Reliever Carlos Estevez even described the pants worn as feeling "like I'm wearing someone else's pants." And several pitchers have since complained about the pants, which The Athletic reported are no longer specifically tailored to pitchers, meaning the distinct tight-pants look of several arms like Robbie Ray and Tommy Kahnle could be going away. And it hasn't just been issues with the fit. Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson explained to The Athletic that the Cubs' jerseys no longer feature the iconic Cubbie blue. Cardinals jerseys no longer have the Birds on the Bat logo chainstiched onto the jersey, a unique feature that was part of the team's jersey, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Fanatics is no stranger to poor reviews. The company has built up a recent history of misspellings, mix-ups, and other miscues on fan apparel for years. However, with the new Nike/Fanatics deal kicking in for 2024, now it's the athletes themselves who get a firsthand experience of the weak quality of a Fanatics jersey. MORE: Spring training reporting dates for all 30 MLB teams That doesn't mean all athletes have complained about the jerseys. In a joint press release from MLB and Nike, players like Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman and Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. each praised the new uniforms that had been officially introduced during the 2023 MLB All-Star Game. The Athletic asked Nike if the uniforms will be the same as those worn during the regular season or if they are only in line to be the spring training, but did not receive a comment in response. “It’s one of those things where there’s good and bad,” Swanson told The Athletic. “It’s hard to sit here and just blast them about it or praise them for it. There’s stuff on both sides, and I think the beauty is they’re willing to have those conversations. Obviously, if it’s a change of anything, initial reactions are always going to be (strong). But I do think there are some things that could be altered to make it better.” Who owns Fanatics? Fanatics is its own company, owned and operated by CEO Michael Rubin. However, when it comes to MLB apparel, it has a special relationship with Nike. Under the current arrangement between Fanatics and Nike, Fanatics "designs, manufactures and distributes all Nike-branded fan apparel sold at retail for the NFL and MLB, Nike’s top college partners (beginning in 2024), and the Tokyo Giants, including all jersey categories, women’s apparel, outerwear and more," as per the Fanatics website.
