Fanatics jerseys dragged after horrible look at 2025 NHL Draft
By Tyler Reed

If you didn't know, the NHL had their draft immediately, and we mean immediately, following the NBA Draft.
A league that could use some lone spotlight continues to find a way to not find new fans in a sport that is truly fun to watch.

However, what's done is done. The NHL offseason is off and running, but fans aren't currently worried about the growth of the game. No, they are dragging Fanatics and their uniforms after an ugly mishap at the draft.

The Philadelphia Flyers selected Porter Martone with the sixth overall pick in the draft, and after putting on his Flyers sweater for the first time, fans noticed the quick press job of his last name on the back.
Listen, we're not one to take up for millionaires, but ten seconds before that jersey was made, no one knew the name that would be on the back. Still, not a good look for a company that has been roasted in the past.
"The Nike-generated, Fanatics-produced uniforms are supposed to be 'performance jerseys,' according to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. They were created to be lighter and more breathable."

Baseball fans have seen this film before. After Fanatics started producing the Nike uniforms for the MLB, fans thought the New York Yankees' uniforms looked like the cheapest clothing ever created.
Martone probably had no clue about his uniform malfunction, as the kid is getting to live out his dream. However, social media is quick on the hate button, always.
