Heads & Tails in Tampa

[mj796]

There is a store on Kennedy Blvd called 'Heads & Tails' and it has been there for as long as I can remember. I went in a few times because they had USF stuff in the window...it looked like an episode of hoarders and primarily FSU/UF stuff. Anyhoo...turns out it was purchased by an alum (or maybe more than one alum) and the owner I spoke with was super engaging and is re-energizing the store, including a dedicated USF section which is supposed to be comprised of items you cannot easily find elsewhere. I personally bought a USF straw sun hat thing...not sure officially what they are called but never seen a USF one before! Given the closure of Bulls Outfitters a few years ago, there hasn't been a local place outside of the bookstore for USF stuff (to my knowledge). The new store looked great...though there was still quite a bit of FSU/UF stuff. It's always better to support a local, alumni-owned business than to feed to the Fanatics machine (in my opinion). I encourage everyone to stop by!

this title seems like a strong contender to replace the girls of thread. Heads & Tails of....

sometimes you want the lights and other times you’re wondering that Burger King bag is I guess

When I am done looking at some heads and tails at the Mons I'll take the short drive to Heads & Tails.

Bring an extra can of Lysol if you go to Mons

I went there a couple years ago before the new owners and it even though there was quite a bit of FSU/UF Stuff, they still had quite a bit of USF stuff that I was unable to find elsewhere (belts, flipflops, etc.). If they have even more USF stuff, I will definitely be stopping by.

We need to make sure that we support this, if able.  I really loved Jeff's store at Florida/Bearss and was sad to see it close.

I'm loving the fact that USF alums are making money off UF and FSU fans ...... hopefully tons.
