Stranger Things’ Randy Havens Sets Record Straight on Fan Theories About Secret Cut of Season 5
This article contains spoilers for Stranger Things season five.
The Duffer Brothers didn’t need to be sorcerers—or wizards—to spot this mistake.
After all, when Stranger Things viewers noticed Holly Wheeler (Nell Fisher) wearing an Under Armour shirt while trapped under Vecna’s vines, the series co-creators quickly edited the anachronism out of episode seven, titled “The Bridge.”
Holly had been wearing the ColdGear shirt under her green sweater, which had lifted past her elbow as she clawed her way out of one of the pods, which Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) used to entrap several children. With the series taking place in 1987, however, Under Armour wouldn’t be founded for another nine years.
Fans picked up on the discrepancy after volume two’s Dec. 25 release and posted about it on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit.
As one user quipped on X, “Holly wearing Under Armour in season five of @Stranger_Things is more unsettling than Vecna.”
