Fanatics is facing heavy controversy as there were several people who unwrapped botched and ruined jerseys this Christmas as Fanatics continues to fail. It's that time of the year where merchandise is flying off the shelves because of the holiday season. Say someone wants to get their friend a Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews jersey but doesn't really want to splurge for themselves. Now, along comes <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/san-jose-sharks/fanatics-makes-embarrassing-spelling-error-on-nhl-jersey-in-primetime-game' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'> Fanatics, an athletic apparel giant and arguably the most infuriating company</a>. Unfortunately, they've become the official NHL jersey maker. <div align='center' style='padding:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/512039.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Fanatics has a well-deserved reputation for <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/seattle-kraken/fanatics-once-again-taking-heat-as-seattle-kraken-jersey-exposes-the-poor-quality-of-their-product' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>poorly designed, overpriced licensed products that often have mistakes in them</a>. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DarkoStateNews/status/1872347443184230753'> </a></blockquote></div> Innumerable gift-givers with the best of intentions have found themselves in the fallout, whether it's catching the errors before handing over the gift or, worse, when their loved one opens it. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DarkoStateNews/status/1872347517947625733'> </a></blockquote></div> Across North America, sports fans have had to sheepishly thank friends and family for gifts such as a Liam Draisailt jersey or similar glaring errors. <div align='center' style='padding:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/512038.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Sure, mistakes happen. But Fanatics' gaffes are on another level, to the extent that wrong team names, incorrect numbers, and outright spelling disasters feel like the norm. Sometimes these gaffes have been so bad that players themselves stepped in to correct the mess, adding a certain bittersweet touch to the whole debacle. Infuriating besides the obvious lack of quality control is how the leagues and players' unions keep signing with Fanatics, taking profits over loyalty from their fans. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DarkoStateNews/status/1872347482103193852'> </a></blockquote></div> Such deals send a pretty clear message: so long as the money keeps coming, your favorite team really sees you as little more than a walking ATM. So if you're internally debating whether to pick up that botched Draisailt or Matthewz sweater, here's your answer: don't.
