Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?
Yep. The Patriots ProShop online website used to be run directly by the team, and the sales and merchandise selection was fantastic. Unfortunately they sold the online store to Fanatics a couple of years ago as they also own 99% of every other of the four league’s teams stores.
Thankfully I’m close enough to the stadium so I can actually just go the physical store still operated by the team if I wanted merch, but it still sucks having to go through Fanatics if I want something online.
