A keen-eyed fan has uncovered a surprising anachronism within the latest installment ofStranger Things. The discovery, made in episode 7, centers around a wardrobe choice for Holly Wheeler, a character gaining prominence in the final season.
The detail? A visible Under Armour logo on her sleeve. This might seem minor, but Under Armour wasn’t founded until 1996 – years after the show’s 1987 setting. Fans, known for meticulously dissecting every element of the series, quickly pointed out the discrepancy on Reddit.
The Duffer Brothers, creators of the show, have often hinted at intentionality in their details, leading some to believe even wardrobe choices hold clues. However, this felt like a genuine oversight, a slip-up in the show’s usually airtight continuity.
Interestingly, the logo has since been removed from the episode, suggesting the production team acknowledged and corrected the error. The consensus seems to be it was simply a modern undergarment worn for warmth beneath the character’s costume.
The discovery arrives as anticipation builds for the final episode, dropping on New Year’s Day. The gang is preparing for a desperate confrontation with Vecna and the Mind Flayer, a plan masterminded by Steve Harrington.
Rumors of a significant character death have swirled, with many fearing for Eleven. She and her sister Kali are determined to break the cycle of evil initiated by their captor, Martin Brenner, and his disturbing experiments.
The series, which premiered in 2016 and stars Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, and Millie Bobby Brown among others, has captivated audiences for years. Its journey to the finale hasn’t been without off-screen drama, including recent reports surrounding the personal lives of cast members.
Despite these distractions, the focus remains firmly on Hawkins and the fate of its young heroes. The final episode promises a theatrical conclusion to a story that has become a cultural phenomenon.
Beyond the series itself, theStranger Thingsuniverse is expanding with a stage play,Stranger Things: The First Shadow, and an animated spin-off,Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, ensuring the story will continue to unfold in new and exciting ways.
