The dissatisfaction stems not just from design discrepancies but also from concerns about quality versus price. Despite the hefty price tag of $49 USD, fans found the material of the merch to be subpar, leading to questions about value for money.

While fans expected the "U.S. version" of the merchandise, they were surprised to see TXT members wearing the original Korean designs during encores, creating a desire among fans for the advertised versions. Moreover, the inclusion of pictures with the original designs on merchandise flyers and banners at tour stops added to the perception of false advertising.

One fan shared, "We were told the tour dates would be printed on the back, but it's just a plain shirt. It's disappointing when you expect something special and get something generic."
In recent news, TXT upcoming album design for "The Name Chapter: FREEFALL" has stirred controversy among fans and netizens. The unconventional cardboard packaging, a departure from traditional formats, has sparked a heated debate within the fandom.
While some appreciate its eco-friendly approach, others criticize it for compromising aesthetics and practicality, especially for potential resale. Netizens express disappointment and describe the design as uninspired and unappealing, contrasting with MOAs who see it as a fitting choice for TXT's environmental themes. As the album's release nears, the discussion around its design continues to fuel strong opinions and discussions online.
