Baseball Doesn’t Exist is better than anything on MLB Network or ESPN.
you're comparing a youtube channel that makes 3 videos a month to 24/7 tv programming. I get you're excited but calm down.
@@a-love-supremistESPN is trash and has been for years. ESPN is owned by a billion dollar conglomerate and BDE is either one guy or a small team
@@a-love-supremistI think their saying that the takes here are better than some of the shit spewed on 24/7 networks
Eh 30 for 30 is goated quality
@@a-love-supremistESPN also has over 3000 employees in the US alone and millions in budget so yes they could produce special segments and documentaries like this.
Paid a billion then cut corners and effed up the uniforms
Most American thing there is.
No that's China@@jakeedits312
That's capitalism, baby
Everyday Cyberpunk 2077 comes closer to being reality
@@Ryan-jc7qhit's literally a consequence of capitalism... cut corners to make profit and spend an enormous amount of money on things that aren't necessary.
Imagine paying $300+ for these jerseys.
I've bought bootleg jerseys that are higher quality
Image paying $300+ for any jersey.
@@cobhc182oh no dont let the goofy ahh soccer fans see this
@@spaghettisauce445"soccer" jerseys are like 60€ here
@@spaghettisauce445 the top soccer leagues in the world i would say are better in many ways then any American league. In europe there is no tanking every single win counts no matter what.
I work at a sport's clothing retailer, and it astonishes me that Fanatics makes so many of the real pro uniforms. Their products are consistently some of the lowest quality goods our store receives.
I guess it's like food. Quality takes time. If it is done fast the quality it's going to be lower. So I guess you could either have good quality or you could have fast and efficient 🤷🏿♂️
Do you really think they send your store the exact same material quality/overall quality of the uniforms they provide professionals to use in game? Surely you don’t.
@@CardRizzbro what
And that’s why people use them Nike wants to save money so they go the cheap route but also don’t care about money because they spent so much on sports companies to allow them go get there logos on shit
I mean hopefully the backlash from MLB fans this year makes them think twice either later this season or for next season… or not. I for one am not buying one of these new jerseys with this quality and appearance in 2024. Certainly not for $100+ anyways
But when I put Nike logos on shirts I get sued for copyright infringement!
W comment
I thought that swoosh on that shirt I just bought for $49.99 looked a little irregular. You bastard.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231😂
Technically I think that would be Trademark infringement? 😝
Welcome to RUclips where the copyright system is corrupt
Monopoly means no competition and lower quality. It also means higher prices too. Come on Fanatics.
I was thinking this exactly… trust busting time?
Fanatics is simply acting in their best interest based on what's legal for them to do. If you want to blame someone, blame our useless government that is more interested in distracting you with social issues than protecting the rights of consumers and blocking monopolistic business practices
@@EpicwinFTW27 I bought a couple fanatics T-shirts recently. It was a $35 retail Knicks t-shirt and $25 sale ($35 retail) Yankees t-shirt. They look pretty good and the quality is better than expected but it is definitely expensive. Hopefully it lasts long. I remember having a Majestic Yankee t-shirt and that shirt was so awesome and lasted long time. I believe Majestic doesn't exist anymore. If I want some sport team apparel, I am pretty much stuck with the same handful websites that are pretty much charging all the same. The professional MLB players trashing the uniforms are crazy.
@@VoltChips 100 years ago lmao corporate propoganda has so thoroughly rotted the American brain they'd rather die than empower the state to stop shit like this
Jeremy Lin catching strays lmfao
I remember when I had to settle for $30 bootlegs because real ones were too expensive, now days I buy the $30 bootlegs because they're the better quality option.
To be fair, I feel like the annoying PR-speak "we dropped the ball on this one" tweet was some disgruntled low-level social media employee utilizing their copy-paste responses lmaooo
Probably not even that tbh. I legit wouldn't be surprised if all those gigantic companies just had an army of bots for tweets like that. If you actually send them a DM, MAYBE then you get an actually customer service guy
He gave his unpaid internship for that. Remember his sacrifice every time a camera shows you too much of Dick Mountain’s mountain dick this summer.
He gave his unpaid internship for us. Remember the sacrifice 😢
Those beautiful Majestic jerseys were pure quality! Wish I bought more
Same here.
Such a bummer because the majestic jerseys were such good quality and material. Truly worth $300. Stitched and thick. This new stuff is just ironed on crap
No peice of clothing is worth 300$
I'll never buy a Fanatics/Nike Jersey or any other product they make as a professional replica product.
I'll stick with my 15 year old Majestic Jersey till the day I die. The material feels premium and durable without being overly heavy.
The Fanatics/Nike crap feels like some flimsy free t-shirt you get at a 5k run.
They'll stop doing it if people stopped buying. It hasn't happened yet on aggregate.
Interesting, it says Majestic is a Subsidiary of Fanatics now. . . times are changing sadly
Majestic was the best and is really isnt close but this is what happens when you let a 1 company corner the whole sports jersey market
To be fair. The only reason why fanatics is big is because North American leagues insist on doing their kit manufacturing for the whole league with one manufacturer. Outside North America fanatics basically doesn’t exist (speaking from experience)
Or maybe because fanatics focuses on North America?
@@perfectman3077You can't get deals like that outside of NA. Outside of NA teams have deals with companies, not whole leagues. So if the players don't like the quality or its fans are unhappy, they have a much bigger incentive to switch companies.
This is why I buy my MLB caps from Europe...many are 100% wool and way higher quality even though they are still New Era hats.
@perfectman3077 mmmm I highly doubt that.
@@frosthammer917 What's it like being so confidently incorrect.
Exclusive league wide deals absolutely exist. Not in Europe, but across the world you will find plenty of examples. South Africa, India, Australia, NZ.
Association Football rarely has exclusive deals as teams get relegated making it impractical.
But to claim they "don't exist" is the height of arrogance you based it off of nothing but your own tiny part of the world.
Man actually showed unblurred pictures, mad respect lol
If Fanatics and Nike think it's fine, we all should too 🤷. Fuck those companies and their blatant trash.
Glad you enjoyed
Funny thing is, before this video I couldn’t even tell you that I noticed a Nike symbol on every single mlb jersey and merch. 😂 People’s brains will just eventually block them out after seeing them so much I guess.
I got the opposite problem, now I'm worried I'm never gonna unsee them and it's gonna bother me watching games lol
@@colmecolwag I'm option 3 over here. I couldn't unsee them before ever watching this video and it annoyed the fuck out of me every time I noticed. It was to the point that I started getting noticeably angry at Nike for that stupid logo on the chest which now reminds me of this whole Fanatics fiasco so then I get mad at both of them. And don't forget the 3rd party brand each team puts on their shoulders. Whatever it is I hate it and I ain't buying it.
Don't ruin the jerseys. Aesthetics and heritage are part of "the show". We're not paying hundreds for seats to watch a winter league scrimmage. This is THE show. Game attire should be top of the line. It should look and feel like something special. Not chintzy knock-off looking manufactured waste.
Louder@@SecretSauceyjuice
after this video, i will notice every single Nike logo i will ever see, and it will drive me insane.
@@trapjohnson I was a bit heated, aye? lol
I stand by it.
This would be a crazy story if any of these sports existed
i'll never feel guilty buying a DHGate jersey again lol
Probably better quality tbh
You can’t beat $20 a jersey 😂😂😂
any tips to not get scammed? haven't bought anything but some of the prices seem too good to be true lol
Each team should have complete control over their jerseys and who produces them. The texture, the fabric, design and colours. Jerseys are such a big part of every fan base in every sport and should be handled with care and respect. But no sports corp is gonna say no to a Billion bucks
You wouldn’t say no to a billion dollars, let’s be real.
@@winstonchristopher3464and somehow that billion dollars cant hire a nike specialist to help each team design their own jersey with a nike logo. Lol
San Jose Sharks actually kicked Fanatics out of their pro shop a few years ago because of their trashy products. At the time, the Fanatics/Sharks deal was team specific, not a league-wide contract.
January 28, 2021 - The Sharks have parted ways with Fanatics and are returning to running their own merchandising with a new partner, ending the deal with Fanatics just halfway through their agreement.
The Sharks will now oversee their merchandise designs and manage their own inventory and quality control. The move returns full command of their own product sold at the Sharks store, the kiosks around SAP Center, and on their website.
Interesting that the savings from Fanatics didn't get transferred to lower prices... hmm could it be that competition is better for consumers
"Better for consumers" is not a thing in America anymore. You're thinking of "better for shareholders" which might as well be written on the American flag at this point.
I mean tbh the savings from fanatics led to having way more jersey options so ARGUABLY we are getting better service out of it too
@@colmecolwag yeah that part is a win win, except the ability for them to offer jerseys for everyone came from their ability to make them in a few days thanks to the awful quality
@@bilboswaggings sacrifices must me made so I can get a dodgers jersey named lolsweep #69
@colmecolwag quantity isn't quality. We're just expected to pay the same price for a wider variety of inferior goods. That's no service to us. It's exclusively benefiting the corp.
The 2000s nfl reebok authentics were the best quality.
Babe Ruth woke up for this video
The Babe promoted just every product ever made, but I doubt he would have hocked these uniforms
i thought this would have a happy ending... but it just ended lol
Happy ending for Nike, so far.
Every player’s junk you see is another 10 million in Nike’s chest.
Sports merch across the board is getting worse in quality with every single year, yet prices go up
Curious, huh
And they all go through fanatics, there's something extremely shady going on
Everything everywhere across the board is getting worse in quality
Makes you miss the Antitrust Department, doesn't it?
Lol no. People buy them, so they lower the quality, then people still buy them, etc.. It's one of the least curious things imaginable. The cycle will stop as soon as people stop buying it.
Not really curious at all. The money is going back to the leagues, who give it to the highest bidder. The consumers then either have to not buy at all or buy from the exclusive license holder.
Nike doesn't make anything worth more than 80$
0$*
Basketball Americans who spend $200 on Jordans ain't gonna like what you just said lol
@@10pmmemes88hi bear
its crazy how the nba and nfl nike jerseys failed and mlb still decided to go with it
Yeah they went with 1 billion I would too.
genuinely my favourite channel on youtube right now, anyone else could’ve told this same story and would’ve been far less entertaining doing it
Nike is known for using cheap materials, bad jerseys from Nike does not surprise me.
Don't forget the starving 10 year old Taiwanese kids that manufacture it.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231uh I don't think Taiwan is where this stuff is being made
Nike,Adidas and Puma are well known for their sweat shops.Their quality have fallen off a cliff since the late 1990's.NFL jerseys have been bad since the late 90's.Nba jerseys are the same and the only jerseys that you can say "got better" are soccer jerseys.
nike made pretty good nba and nhl jerseys in the 90s/2000s
@@ram_taka3436 you have to remember, no one who worked at the company in the 90's is still there now
don't buy shirts, don't fall for these scammers
I bought 1000 already
If you do, give your money to honest hard working counterfeiters instead of this official-knockoff trash
BDE is always going to be the best baseball youtuber

Oh and that same company (fanatics) now manufactures pretty much all sports trading cards. Which would also be why the Topps 2024 set feels like it's made of fu*king tissue paper.
This is also why I now just buy vintage jerseys and older pre fanatics card sets. You should do the same. Unless you like paying 40+ for cheap blasters or 300+ for cheap ass jerseys.
Always love the quality of these videos! Every time I see a new thumbnail I know I'm in for a treat, the pacing especially is just incredible!
Linsanity!
Ur content is so fire dawg never stop pls
Keep up the good work my whole family loves your videos!
Even fanatics t shirts suck. Bought a Phillies one last year wore it once and after washing it, it started falling apart. Name was peeling off and the threading in the neck started coming out
I bought the 2 Nike MLB jerseys, including a hat. Which is really expensive! However tho, when my mom washes it, the name, the number, and the rest of the design didn't fall apart. Which I guess that means I luckily bought it. Not only just that, but I'm also luckily that I bought it before Nike ruined the best design. That definitely needs to change immediately. Especially when I saw the Dodgers Uniform. The 3rd letter "D" on Dodgers jerseys, is now splitted. That is not how I like it very much
I bought a couple Padres shirts and the way they’re shaped made them basically unwearable. It was like they put size medium sleeves on an xlarge body.
@@bob8776/ I think on October 2023, i bought an 2 medium size jerseys that somehow still fits to me even though I'm XL size. But when I wore Large or XL, it didn't fits me perfectly. It's too damn large....
This channel continues to process why its one of my favorites. Great job!
Joey your videos are fire kid, I'll keep sharing them with my buddies as long as you keep making them!!
I am looking forward to the new baseball season just for your take on it
i wonder what the supply chain is like concerning ethics and working conditions.
The Chinese kids would like a word
Not sure about fabric, dyes etc but from the clips in the video it looks like there is very little human la or involved in the final stages.
You need to post more!!! I look everyday for a new one. I have rewatched like every one of ur vids too
lol!!!!!!😂😊
BABE WAKE UP BDE JUST DROPPED!!!
7:18
If I were a Knicks fan, I would have bought a jersey for a dollar. Idc who plays as long as I can get an affordable jersey to root for my team.
Great Video! Felt like this deserved a comment for a few reasons, well researched, easy to understand, and also mentions that Nike themselved dont get paid directly while get paid indirectly due to indirect advertising.
The excitement I get when BDE uploads a video is unmatched
Why's my boy Jeremy Lin catching strays, lmao 😭😭😭
Great Vid! Love the content
3:24- I feel honored right now 🥲
Spending one billion for a nike logo is crazy 💀💀
I thought it was $1B for the jersey itself.
watch the whole video to make it make sense
They pay 1 billion for the right to make all the jerseys they sell to fans .
next video why Ohtani paid for THIS
I always love how Baseball Doesn’t Exist shows his thumbnail at least once in his videos. Never a click bait in site. I respect that
I love your content. You single-handedly made me a fan of baseball.
Fanatics should have their assets siezed and their owner jailed
great vid dude! ❤
Baseball doesn’t exist made Baseball come to existence into my life 😭🔥🐐 wasn’t too interested in baseball until coming across this channel, salute to you bruv🔥
This is a BDE classic!! Great video joey!!
Majestic made the best jerseys
The Jeremy Lin butterfly effect is really disrupting this timeline
bro jlin always getting the blame for everything 😭
Top content. With Nike and Jordan having such a history in the NBA I'm surprised they hadn't nailed down that contract 2 decades ago tbh
awesome video great information great channel subscribed
it annoys me so much everytime I see the logo
It’s actually inescapable
@@4546Bean man I swear. just looks so out of place in baseball.
I don’t even notice it. If you stop looking for it, it will go unnoticed
@@tgorefan as the season goes on I’ll get more used to it. just hope that it’s gone for good after this contract us up
Even New Era caps have been given the Fanatics iron-on treatment
Your videos never miss gah damn
i don't even watch baseball, but i LOVE your channel
2:45 Chay-Viss Joey. Jared is gonna be pissed that you got his guy’s name wrong
So it's like badge engineering for baseball!
Love your channel ⚾️🔥
Everyday something reminds me I’m getting old. Today it’s this, cause back in my day Majestic made amazing jerseys. I remember ordering a Bret Boone and Derek Jeter jersey with all the stitching and everything. Felt like the coolest kid on the block! Long live the 90s!
I bought a Manny Ramirez Majestic jersey in 2002 as a kid visiting Boston. And I NEVER would have imagined cherishing it just because of build quality!😭
They'll just add a few bucks to the price of shoes and the yuppies buying them will cover the bill.
You will be at 1 million soon sir. A well deserved milestone
I was not prepared for Jeremy Lin to show up lol
The best baseball RUclips
Now I can’t unsee the Nike logo this is my first time seeing the logo on the jersey I just didn’t noticed
This was *very* well made
This goes to show that if the content is good, it’ll be watched. I don’t even watch baseball but I’m obsessed with this channel
I got my Nike jersey on DHgate and I’m thinking it’s actually better quality
Imagine gow much would they have to pay if Baseball actually existed!
Thai video was so good that I forgot it was about baseball
You should do videos on other sports during their seasons. Love the baseball the most, but similar productions about football and basketball would be super cool I’d definitely watch
You know, for something that doesn’t exist you sure do make a lot of videos about this imaginary thing
DH Gate Quality
You get better jerseys on DHGate lmao
That'd be a compliment
I remember having to wait around 6 weeks for my authentic Yankee Knick and Giants jerseys back in the early 2000s
What would be funny is if everyone started boycotting Nike altogether.
That is NEVER gonna happen lol and even if it did they are to big to fail at this point.
Came as fast as I could
I say that when making love
The New Era logo on the mlb cap is the biggest eye sore ever
Its literally not
Whatever song is in the background at the end I can’t get out of my head still…
I also noticed the change of quality once they switched out to Nike, they became thinner and easily out of shape after just a few washes. Bring back the Reebok and Majestic T-shirts!!!!
So, it wasn't my TV. I thought the whites looked off.
and is one reason why i will never buy nike again. that 1 billion gets passed down to us eventually.
1:38 Man I just got a compliment on a sweater I got from TJ Maxx
I really enjoyed this video, but please check the audio mix on the next one! The music was at times louder than your voice!
Never forget...Nike hired Dylan Mulvaney...GROSS!!!
Be normal.
@@Hell2Kaiser tell that to mulvaney
Damn you, Jeremy Linnnn!!!
Jeremy didn’t profit from it lol
Love your channel dude! Keep up the great work!
9 mins in and I learned so much information. Damn 😂🔥
This guy is the best baseball RUclipsr ever
And it’s not close
@@winstonkostrzewa1585 ya this his famous line 🔥
I think the jerseys look good with the Nike logo, but plastering it on every single piece is a little much. 😂
This controversy is so confusing and dumb
Wow, good job on the video. I'm impressed.
Another GREAT video!!!
Good thing is girls will watch baseball now
