I'm inundated with sale notices and such for this site and there's a huge problem.

NO VISORS!

I'm not a hat fan, but I like visors, I don't know how I'm supposed to channel my inner hot chili without a good visor....

People still wear visors?

I was disappointed to see them partner with Fanatics. Fanatics is expanding exponentially trying to swallow everything up. I ordered something from them last Christmas, and it was a pretty miserable experience- I bought something that claimed to be in stock, then it wasn't in stock and backordered after Christmas, but then they didn't want to refund my money without me bitching at them.

Yeah I agree about the fanatics thing:

Yeah the website kinda stinks, jumpy as all hell.

The search is garbage.

The number of products seems really limited.

I ordered something and they took like 2 weeks to even think about shipping it.

As far as I can tell their business model isn't actually about providing a good service, more like cornering little markets.

I've always had good luck with the bookstore even sending things back that didn't fit and getting ones that fit.

I am also not real happy they switched to Fanatics. Less competition is bad for the consumer. Fanatics is just ok at best.

Also they sent me like 6 emails in the last 3 days about their latest sale.

Got a coupon code from them. Was going to order a few things, but everything I wanted did not qualify for the sale . WTF

Here is a great deal on a bucky badger red shirt.

Not impressed. All the hats are just an M put on generic hats.

Yeah they love the huge sale...of clearance type items.

I wear both but still prefer a visor if weather is decent, especially golfing. Only issue is I now have to put SPF 30 on top of head as hair is thinning so bad. Lol.
