James Van Der Beek fans are seemingly outraged after receiving an email from the late actor's merch store. Several purchasers reportedly received an email earlier this week with a message declaring that their orders could no longer be fulfilled. The message apparently offered two options - neither of which was a refund. Van Der Beek, who died on February 11 at age 48, announced in November 2025 that he would be selling football jerseys inspired by his Varsity Blues character, Jonathan "Mox" Moxon. Signed jerseys were on sale for $80 while unsigned jerseys were selling for $40.
