San Francisco 49ers fans likely won’t be able to attend the Super Bowl in the threads they were hoping to.
The Niners will be wearing white uniforms against the Kansas City Chiefs in the big game on February 11, which is thought to be a sign of things to come given that the majority of SB winners have worn said color.
However, fans won’t be able to join as they won’t be getting special Super Bowl jerseys in time for the game.
According to SFGate, Fanatics have left supporters “out to dry” as they’ve made a real mess with the jerseys. Fans looking to get them ahead of Super Bowl 58 will be out of luck as, if they place orders today, the gear still won’t arrive in time.
“As of noon P.T. on Jan. 31, the only Super Bowl-branded jerseys that Niners fans can currently purchase are San Francisco’s red home jerseys. Even if authenticity weren’t an issue, a majority of the jerseys, if ordered today, wouldn’t arrive until some days after the Super Bowl. A Deebo Samuel home jersey with a Super Bowl patch comes with a small message that reads “Special Event Item — Ships by 2/14, so it’s not eligible for Super Bowl delivery, but it’s worth the wait!”
Fanatics have a tight grip on the sports gear market, but it doesn’t appear that many Niners supporters will be happy with them in the coming days and could look to other avenues should they be available.
