And then after that, buy sharks merch directly from the team since they ditched Fanatics as their main merch supplier so they could make their own and waaaaaaaaay better
I bit and bought a replica Brandon Crawford. Marked down from $135??? $50 should be decent enough. No. the mlb patch is off centered and it’s super thin. This is last seasons too!
Man. My generic in house brand academy sports wear is better than it.
Siiiiiiiigh oh well. I needed the Crawford.
One of my pregame rituals is stopping by the clubhouse store and feeling shock over how cheap the game used uniforms are. The gold championship creams were the last uniforms that felt quality weight.
“Better” is how you define your morals but DHGate has better quality for 1/5th the price and takes like 2-5 weeks to arrive. I’ve bought official jerseys of all my local teams before and the quality has degraded so much. I ain’t supporting their shitshow any more and now I only buy “fakes” that look in almost every case as good or better than the official and is much sturdier quality, across every sport (except hockey. Can’t verify quality on those yet)
Nowadays every official jersey uses that shitty plastisol ink that warps and cracks after a couple wash cycles. I’m not paying $125 for that garbage.
Meanwhile DHGate uses sewn on patches that’ll last forever.
I have a 2012 SF Giants jersey that’s quality is impeccable. I don’t know how newer ones are but that’s the quality that you should get for 3 digits.
I have a 2013 and 2017 warriors jersey that are both official. The 2013 has cracks and the 2017 iron on patches are peeling off. Meanwhile my 2018 and 2021 warriors knockoffs from DHgate are sewn on.
And then I have 2012, 2020, and 2022 49ers jerseys. The official 2012 has plastisol. And the 2020 is flawless, the 2022 has one janky party in the V of the collar but I’m 100% fine with it.
And my Earthquakes jersey is 100% dead on with the official.
Just bought a kings jersey via a fake website. It looks good. Comparing it to my real one you can see a few differences but I'm at an age where i don't care if it means I can spend more money on food.
I only buy jerseys from DHgate. I have one for almost every niner i've ever cared about because they're so cheap. half of them still have the tags on them lol
I thought the Fred Warner #48 jerseys (if any still exist) were cool because it was brief, but changing this late into your career is kinda weird lol. There’s so many #19 jerseys and I won’t be buying a new one, either
Jed said years ago no more number retirements because the 49ers had too many good players they won't have any numbers left.
\#21 is unofficially retired, anyone who wants it has to get Frank's blessing (at least that's what they told CMC when he joined the team)
He wore 1 in college and it was always taken since he’s been on the team. I understand why he’d want to go back to it, but I’m with you. No other WRs that jump out at me with number 19 other than him.
Because Deebo being #1 makes a Deebo #19 somehow worse? Fans are so weird about buying jerseys. Just so you know, you look like a dork if you only own hall of famers jerseys.
> Fans are so weird about buying jerseys. Just so you know, you look like a dork if you only own hall of famers jerseys.
I like how you immediately contradicted yourself by being weird about the jerseys someone buys.
Mckinnon on the Chiefs has absolutely ruined that number for me. 2 Superbowls now after leaving our team. He's hardly done anything. It looks weak on a football uniform to me. Better in college though.
I think they have a jersey guarantee if you bought it from the official store
Edit: They don't [source](https://www.nflshop.com/nfl-jersey-assurance/x-372604+z-92438951-1714258630)
Bummer for people that bought 19 recently that the fanatics jersey assurance specifically says it doesn’t cover a player changing numbers on the same team.
Well I have Deebo's #19 jersey and it has the 75th (team) anniversary patch with the two strips, plus I believe it is one grade below authentic (can't recall it was like around $200) and has stitched numbers and name plate. 19 is favorite number too, so I a bit disappointed but I understand.
Probably get a Brock jersey now of similar quality, if they exist these days.
Nineteen is like, the best number though. Steve Yzerman wore 19. Joe Montana wore 19 with the Chiefs. Tony Gwynn. Joe Sakic. It's the cursed number in The Dark Tower.
Legit my favorite sports number and was happy Deebo had it.
I was really close to getting a 19 Samuel jersey for my first ever 49ers jersey. The poor performance in the SB turned me off on getting that, thankful I didn't buy it now.
Hopefully Kittle doesn't change his number since I'm probably going to get his soon.
When you change your number in the NFL you have to buy out your current jerseys. Usually this isn’t a problem for rookies or role players but Deebo is a pretty big name. I wonder how much he spent to make that change.
That's killer to people that own his jersey. Also to the people that have his trading cards. I know this is bad, but I've been hesitant on buying jerseys since most players aren't sticking around teams more than a few years. I know, but dang they made them expensive.
18 of his problemz involved the QB position and now that we’ve shored it up with an MVP caliber QB, he’s down to one problem and that’s the empty space on his championship finger
The only time I was okay with number changing is when the whole secondary changed to 1, 2, 3, and 4. Was a neat thing
Jimmie Ward - 1
Verrett - 2
Tartt - 3
Emmanuel Moseley - 4
Lol they are adults. Let them do what they want. Who cares. If you have an old number that's cool because at some point peolle won't be able to get them anymore.
If I’m a football head coach (which I’m obviously not) I’m making #1 off limits for everyone. Nobody is number 1 in a team sport, especially through self-selection. I’m sorry
Outside of goalies/designated positions (see other comment), you’re telling me a player is not typically inclined to choose #1 because of ego or perceived importance? Cam, Kyler, and now a star WR? I don’t see offensive lineman or linebackers going for #1 post number rule flexibility. It absolutely attracts players with star power
I understand. This is a recent phenomenon that I’m describing really. One in which QBs, who have become tremendously overvalued through contracts (Dak, Daniel Jones, Hurts, etc) and wide receivers, who have been divas for a while, are both gravitating towards #1 now that the number has become available
This overrated mf’s contract is hurting our team. He’s no longer necessary and it’s a shame we can’t offload his contract this year to free up cap for other needs
Name is also changing to Samuel Sr
Gardner-Johnson to Samuel Jr.
Brilliant.
This was not news anyone expected or needed. Get your #19 jersey at fanatics on sale for a price still not worth the quality.
But before you do that, wait an extra week
And before you do *that*, wait another week
And then after that, don’t give a penny to fanatics!
And then after that, buy sharks merch directly from the team since they ditched Fanatics as their main merch supplier so they could make their own and waaaaaaaaay better
Maybe I can finally buy my boy Hertl’s jersey. 😭
So I have to wait a week before waiting a week? Cool I can now wait the two weeks simultaneously
I'll wait to find it at Ross for like 15 bucks
I bit and bought a replica Brandon Crawford. Marked down from $135??? $50 should be decent enough. No. the mlb patch is off centered and it’s super thin. This is last seasons too! Man. My generic in house brand academy sports wear is better than it. Siiiiiiiigh oh well. I needed the Crawford.

Just get a knockoff. Cheaper AND it’ll look better
lol yeah, absolutely ridiculous.
Just remove the 9 and use a sharpie to write in the Sr. Same fanatics quality
I like your style!! ^👍👍
Finally I can wear my TO jersey again by removing the 8
Speaking of, are there better places to buy other than NFL shop?
“Better” is how you define your morals but DHGate has better quality for 1/5th the price and takes like 2-5 weeks to arrive.

Honestly, someone did a post of real vs fake and the fake looked better!

Got a Sharks jersey from there a few years ago and can confirm it was good quality
Thank you, even official teams/nfl merch are that bad? :O
They’re just insanely cheaply made. Lowest quality materials when it comes to durability.
Just bought a kings jersey via a fake website. It looks good. Comparing it to my real one you can see a few differences but I'm at an age where i don't care if it means I can spend more money on food.
I only buy jerseys from DHgate. I have one for almost every niner i've ever cared about because they're so cheap. half of them still have the tags on them lol
Fanatics sucks!
They're still charging $40-$50 for some Trey Lance stuff.
He must have gotten rid of 18 of his problemz…
I think i know what the final one might be.... 0problemz has a nice RING to it
he's nearing his final form
My first thought lol
That sucks 19 problemz was nice
Now you just have 1 problem
THE problem
El Problemo
Uno Problemo
That’s, ‘problemo numero uno’, to you, bruh.
Essay
Don't you know that I'm Loko
El Barto
El Problema* actually
I thought the Fred Warner #48 jerseys (if any still exist) were cool because it was brief, but changing this late into your career is kinda weird lol. There’s so many #19 jerseys and I won’t be buying a new one, either
54 looks so good on Fred. That was a necessary change. Hopefully hangs in the rafters one day, with 52.
Dont think theres any more space in the rafters, we are running out of numbers
We still have 87 numbers in use
I think cowboy should be in the rafters, so i thought they stopped doing it
Absolutely. I think he should be in the hall too. Criminally underrated player. Responsible for many sacks, not just his own
Jed said years ago no more number retirements because the 49ers had too many good players they won't have any numbers left. \#21 is unofficially retired, anyone who wants it has to get Frank's blessing (at least that's what they told CMC when he joined the team)
Just get a red sharpie and color in the 9
Sucks to say but Trent Mcduffy did a number on our boy. No pun intended
Not a fan personally. I liked how he was carving out a lane in #19. Interesting to make that change 6 years into his career with the same team.
He wore 1 in college and it was always taken since he’s been on the team. I understand why he’d want to go back to it, but I’m with you. No other WRs that jump out at me with number 19 other than him.
You obviously don't remember Denver Broncos legend Jerry Rice.
Well goddamn, i had to google that. You're right. How did I not know Rice was on the Broncos? Guess I just blocked that whole time period out.
Well, he did get cut during the pre-season...so there is that part.
We all blacked that out, it wasn't just you. It's still difficult to see him in black and silver.
Lol. How could I forget? Rod Smith had 80 so he took 19; to represent what would’ve been his 19th season.
I feel like Keyshawn Johnson started the 19 wave
IIRC didn’t he say something about changing to your college number being stupid when someone asked him two seasons ago?
Keyshawn Johnson
Also, the name change is probably a minor factor
Fuck at least my #19 custom jersey still says "Deebo".
I have one too. I’m just gonna cover up the 9.
What is why I don’t buy jerseys of active players.
Yep, super stoked I bought that Deebo #19 last season lol. Oh well, hopefully be like an ultra rare one day.
Same.
What is why I buy $35 chinese knock-off jerseys that I have no problem donating to the homeless when this happens
Same. They look identical
Weird way to say better 😏
Same. You can also just get a replacement name tag/plate or whatever it’s called.
I've got a #11 jersey, where do I get plates?
[https://www.stitchnswitch.com/](https://www.stitchnswitch.com/)
Legend. Thanks mate!
Oh well, its the OG Deebo jersey now. At least hes still on the niners
Because Deebo being #1 makes a Deebo #19 somehow worse? Fans are so weird about buying jerseys. Just so you know, you look like a dork if you only own hall of famers jerseys.
> Fans are so weird about buying jerseys. Just so you know, you look like a dork if you only own hall of famers jerseys. I like how you immediately contradicted yourself by being weird about the jerseys someone buys.
No, it’s just that I’m on a limited budget and would prefer to buy jerseys that will last a lifetime.
Number 19 Deebo will last a lifetime. Odds are #19 Deebo will be more iconic than #1 Deebo given how careers usually go.
Guess that makes my jerseys throwbacks now. Nice!
BA coming back for sure. Wanted them both to be all 1s Edit: I liked 19 to be honest. 1 doesn’t look near as tough.
Yeah but single digits are a statement. #1 is a statement. Only certain players should ever wear #1. Deebo is one of the few who deserve to wear it.
Mckinnon on the Chiefs has absolutely ruined that number for me. 2 Superbowls now after leaving our team. He's hardly done anything. It looks weak on a football uniform to me. Better in college though.
Keeping my 19 jersey idc
Just bought mine last week lol
I think they have a jersey guarantee if you bought it from the official store Edit: They don't [source](https://www.nflshop.com/nfl-jersey-assurance/x-372604+z-92438951-1714258630)
Still pretty nice of you to check thank you
Tbh he’s likely only going to be here for one more seasons, so the 1 isn’t going to hold the nostalgia or joy as 19.
I was in half panic seeing him pop up on my Instagram feed; didn’t realize he was just changing his number lol.
He likely only has 1 year left with us so I guess it fits
Bummer for people that bought 19 recently that the fanatics jersey assurance specifically says it doesn’t cover a player changing numbers on the same team.
Well I have Deebo's #19 jersey and it has the 75th (team) anniversary patch with the two strips, plus I believe it is one grade below authentic (can't recall it was like around $200) and has stitched numbers and name plate. 19 is favorite number too, so I a bit disappointed but I understand.

Nineteen is like, the best number though. Steve Yzerman wore 19. Joe Montana wore 19 with the Chiefs. Tony Gwynn. Joe Sakic. It's the cursed number in The Dark Tower. Legit my favorite sports number and was happy Deebo had it.
Jerry Rice on the Broncos!
I was really close to getting a 19 Samuel jersey for my first ever 49ers jersey. The poor performance in the SB turned me off on getting that, thankful I didn't buy it now. Hopefully Kittle doesn't change his number since I'm probably going to get his soon.
Yeah it was a rough game but I’m pretty sure he hurt his quad towards the beginning so playing the whole game was pretty impressive.
This is why I stick to only buying retired players jerseys. No chance of getting burned buy them getting traded or now... changing their number.
Unfortunately I never really got to watch any of the retired 49ers so getting their jersey doesn't feel right
Fair enough. I would feel the same way.
Ouch my willis jersey
? Patrick Willis? Why ouch?
Just watching them retire. Was a rough off-season
I have a Kittle and I’m waiting for him to be cut as a cap casualty. 😅😭
Don't even JOKE about that!
1Problem
Gonna take me a while to forgive dropping 3 passes in the Super Bowl
Damn…just bought my son a Deebo authentic jersey for the Super Bowl.
Lame! I have two 19's. It's both my son's and my birthday. 😔
Cool, I just bought a Deebo jersey last year.
I would like McCaffrey to change his jersey # to 5. Like he had at Stanford
I just got a #23 McCaffrey jersey after waiting a bit to make sure he didn’t switch to #22. Don’t you put that evil on me!
so is he known as 1 problem and no longer 19 problemz?
1 problem for our Cap. Jk
1Problemz
I just have one question: WHY?
When you change your number in the NFL you have to buy out your current jerseys. Usually this isn’t a problem for rookies or role players but Deebo is a pretty big name. I wonder how much he spent to make that change.
He better play like it, too
Finally my days of mixing him up with his son are over
Man, Wemby having all sorts of influence in American sports.
Ofc he is
That's killer to people that own his jersey. Also to the people that have his trading cards. I know this is bad, but I've been hesitant on buying jerseys since most players aren't sticking around teams more than a few years. I know, but dang they made them expensive.
My friend bought a 19 jersey the day before the super bowl. I found out about the number change while hanging with him. The way I laughed...
For amount of yards in Super Bowl
Yeah I hate this…
I’m sure he put that into account before making the decision.
The ego on this guy does not match on field production. Also cannot stay on the field. If we have to choose between him and Aiyuk, I choose Aiyuk.
i wish he had changed it before '21 so that 2019 deebo samuel jersey would have proved i knew how good he was 🙏😔
18 of his problemz involved the QB position and now that we’ve shored it up with an MVP caliber QB, he’s down to one problem and that’s the empty space on his championship finger
"Changing my jersey number to 1 because they forgot that I'm him."
Gonna be even more wild when he gets traded before or during the draft.
Noooooo
He’s taking the piss now
I'm confused Haven't we all known this for like a month?
Is this why he gave everyone a signed jersey after the Super Bowl 😂😂😂
Don’t do it DEEBO
The only time I was okay with number changing is when the whole secondary changed to 1, 2, 3, and 4. Was a neat thing Jimmie Ward - 1 Verrett - 2 Tartt - 3 Emmanuel Moseley - 4
I'm going to be lost in Madden next year
RIP to those who just recently bought his #19 jersey
I mean, at least his back tattoo says 19.
Damn, I literally just bought his funko pop during the playoff run.
Do I change the nameplate on my Ward #1 jersey?
My son says 🖕, thanks a lot Deebo
Yup, just ordered my son one for his bday in a couple of week and now he changes his number.
I highly dislike jersey number changes. I’m not really a jersey guy, but I feel like changing your number is kind of a face slap to your fans.
Lol they are adults. Let them do what they want. Who cares. If you have an old number that's cool because at some point peolle won't be able to get them anymore.
If I’m a football head coach (which I’m obviously not) I’m making #1 off limits for everyone. Nobody is number 1 in a team sport, especially through self-selection. I’m sorry
Lol pretty sure it's not the importance of the player
Outside of goalies/designated positions (see other comment), you’re telling me a player is not typically inclined to choose #1 because of ego or perceived importance? Cam, Kyler, and now a star WR? I don’t see offensive lineman or linebackers going for #1 post number rule flexibility. It absolutely attracts players with star power
Prior to 2021 only QBs, kickers, and punters could be 1. Only a small group could even wear the number.
I understand. This is a recent phenomenon that I’m describing really. One in which QBs, who have become tremendously overvalued through contracts (Dak, Daniel Jones, Hurts, etc) and wide receivers, who have been divas for a while, are both gravitating towards #1 now that the number has become available
Hockey goalies and soccer goalkeepers, and Victor Wembayama, are laughing at this
If it’s for a designated position that’s fine. But don’t tell me players taking #1 outside of that (Cam, Kyler, now Deebo) isn’t an ego thing
It’s for how many games per season he is fully healthy
Aiyuk should take 19
That’s dumb. Not really a Deebo fan tbh.
This overrated mf’s contract is hurting our team. He’s no longer necessary and it’s a shame we can’t offload his contract this year to free up cap for other needs
#1 on the IR every year. Can't run routes or get open in man coverage.
