Yesterday the NHL announced that they'd signed a new 10-year partnership deal with Fanatics to replace Adidas as the official NHL Jersey sponsor. The deal was immediately panned by fans as a failure before the first jersey was even printed. But is the deal as bad as it seems?

Fans quickly turned to posting the 'quality' products they've received in the past from Fanatics and it's clear the company has a quality control issue.

These are just some of the hundreds of examples that have surfaced online in the last 24 hours. Hopefully the NHL works with Fanatics to improve the quality control or this deal is in trouble before it even begins.
