I can’t say 100% But I believe Hernandez and NS was once one. They both emerged with their FB pages in 2016, NS in April and Hernandez a little later in July. Ofcourse Hernandez must of been around a lot before Daniel was involved with him (if my case is correct) because Hernendez is the old timer of the two. I’ve crossed path with both Daniel and his lady’s personal FB pages, yup the young lady responsible for the rude voice notes others have complained about. One thing about them... They’re super young, they look mid 20’s maybe even younger. Could that have to do with their bad mouth and lack of morals? Most certainly. Should they get a pass? Hells no, I started running my old mans place when I was 22. Wholesale products as well as retail in the front. No experience at all, busy location yet It could never come out of anyones mouth I was rude or discourteous. They try as much as possible to keep their social media stuff away from the actual page btw.
When ever I see a response from them on the page or a post is always the same approach and word select. So I do think they both solely run New Sportings social media and they both deliver the same shitty service. To me Daniel obviously makes the gloves but most likely limits who ever else he has employed for beneficial reasons hence the late orders, lying and new shipping dates. Just seems a new kid, learnd to make a good glove (when dedicated) wanted more cash and bounced (peace old man Hrndz).
Now Hernandez actually is more popular of the two and is 400 followers shy of 8K while New Sporting is on the low 4k’s. They’re from a younger crowd and also used to sell on FB market place, they can be more vocal about pushing the product imo and used to urge customers to check out the page for more variety in the third person. I think this plays a part in the only thing they have over Hernandez which is reviews. I think New Sporting has turned more heads internationally because of their initial selection of color schemes and Grant copys. Hernandez goes outside the box sometimes posting gear that’s not going to attract everyones eye in designs.
But why im I so sure it’s Hernandez out of all? Well because It’s the two manufacturers who make the most identical gear. It’s not that one nailed the others design, these two have obviously crossed paths or have been a part of something. For all I know it could be more groups that now form other companies it might have also been MXN’s manufacturer as well but for now this is my take. Down below I’ll add some pics of Gloves from Hernandez from yesterday in New Sportings cut (or theirs originally?) and some other pairs with the same cut from other dates. You’ll see everything is identical but Hernandez does a better cleaner job all around with the stitching and all. Maybe Hernandez needed someone to put his stuff out in social media and that’s why he came a few months later with the dude that usually posts the gear up from their page. But in my view no doubt Hernandez is the “OG”. I could be all wrong but it’s my take from all the info, products and dates I have gathered.
