Fanatics are primarily e commerce solutions providers, check either the NBA or NHL stores and see who runs them.

This is a big deal

"Fanatics, Inc. also currently powers the e-commerce sites of all major professional sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, PGA, UFC), major media brands (NBC Sports, CBS Sports, FOX Sports) and over 150 collegiate and professional team properties."

But I'm glad our American friends can tell us they're nobodies.

For all of you Americans saying you haven't heard of Fanatics before (@yankspurs ; @moomin ; @MichaelPawson ), have you never been in a shopping mall?

There is/was one in every shopping mall I have ever been to in the US (Indianapolis, Raleigh, Charlotte, Charleston (WV).

If football can continue to grow in America, adding Spurs merchandise to the store will certainly help our brand grow further and make it more accessible to your more "common" fans, not us degenerates online.

Well, damn. I'm even from Raleigh and I've never seen them. The biggest sporting goods store in this area is named Dick's. I don't know if Spurs should be selling their merchandise in a store named after genitalia though.

What are people moaning for? Or belittling the deal whatever you wanna call it. Any exposure is good and it sounds a bit bigger than you give credit for. You're talking as if they're Mr byrite

I'm from the states and have heard of the store, just never seen it. But any deal that brings Spurs merch here is a deal I'm excited about. I can't even walk into the Under Armor warehouse in Baltimore and find any Spurs gear!

Make sure you ask. I make it a point when travelling to ask sports shops if they have any spurs gear. In the hope that they decide to order some.

Trouble is, West Ham are going to overshadow this when they announce their forthcoming deal with Poundshop.

not all...3.1 billion USD valuations tend to resonate with me - and only partly because I went to sell the owners some investment properties!

Looks like Arsenal, Chelsea, City, United, Liverpool, and Newcastle are already partners.

This is not terribly significant, but a positive step forward.

Futures bright.

Well if they (or anyone else) can come up with a cleaner, neater design than the utterly ghastly crap we're going to be wearing next season, I'm all for it. The home strip is awful enough, but that away kit...! :eek:

How hard can it be to make a plain white shirt with a logo and a cockerel on a ball FFS!!! :(

Americans love a good animal logo. Seagul (Holister), Moose (Abercrombie), Eagle (American Eagle). Now they get to have clothing with a Cockerel on.

I'm baffled by some of the comments I'm reading. I live in England and I have ordered from Fanatics lots of times. I knew them as Football Fanatics myself.

The website is brilliant. Absolutely slammed full of merchandise and they ship internationally which is a god-send for a UK based american sports fans like myself.

I bought all my Saints super bowl champs stuff from there back in 2010 and have also bought NBA jerseys as well.

Be really interested to see what kinda stuff they stock for us on their site. Great news.

Home of .. the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Who need to find a new city to base their franchise ....


:eek:
Complete BS. The team is well supported. Had one bad year of attendance in 2009, which was basically a fan protest of the direction of the team. The Jaguars have sold out every game for 5 straight seasons. Started a complete rebuild two seasons ago and the future looks very bright. Both the other Florida NFL franchises (Miami and Tampa) have attendance issues that the Jaguars don't have. But everybody loves to kick Jacksonville. It's a great place to live and raise a family.

erm ... not kicking it buddy, have a little re-read ... just a light hearted reference to the fact that it is widely believed that the Jags are to be looking for a new home!
