not sure what this means lol

Fanatics has the jersey contracts starting next year. They have a lot of Quality Control issues and are sloppy in general (see new MLB jerseys) they are already rushing jerseys for next year, and probably won't have enough turn around time to make new merch for a new team in time

oh so you think the logo and name have already been chosen, but because Fanatics can't provide the merch, they're waiting a year for the reveal? can't prove this isn't true, but holy poop does that suck if it's the case.

the only reason why the NHL made a deal with them in the first place is probably because they were the most profitable for the league... certainly wasn't for the quality of their products, they already had a bad reputation.

it also shows how badly they managed things in Arizona until the very last minute, can't even give enough time for the new team to have an identity lol

I *think* it's easier to be the Yetis and only make jerseys with UTAH on it (they'll end up keeping those jerseys because reddit and Twitter will say it's cool) while slow releasing hats, shirts, etc...

And they made a deal with them because they were the only company to bid

so neither Adidas or Nike or whatever the (frank) were interested in a deal with the NHL? I would've thought it was simply because the profit margins were too thin for the league's taste.

Unfortunately, yelling doesn't work. It's become a badge of honor to get a teacher to the point of yelling.

I may slap someone

They didn't see the money in taking the league contract. Cost the most to make and they don't move like other sports jerseys

I fully expect they will use "Utah" on the front of their jerseys, at least at the start of the year, as it is unlikely they have a name and logo in place before...

But who knows, when a billionaire wants something done. timelines don't matter, it just gets done.

imho a smart billionaire would take his time in choosing these things for a sports franchise, but if he's in rush and has the money, he can do it for sure lol

Thank you.

It's about picking battles and waiting to have enough "paperwork"

There are kids who have been in HS for 3, 4, 5 years and they've been an ass and no discipline makes them change. Easier to ignore, email home and put comments on the monitoring system and let admin handle it.

he wasn't given a lot of time though, I find it's dumber to haste things than potentially avoid making a long-term bad decision.

I mean they could still opt for something dumb, but at least they're giving themselves a chance lol.

For a guy who wanted a team, you would think this would have sorta been figured out in advance... I know he wanted 3 years, but he has to see that Arizona was a probability.
