You could approach Craig at Bulls Outfitter about partnering up to sell them, assuming you make them different enough from the "Flair Hair" that is apparently patented. Bulls Outfitter has a license to sell USF gear, and he's got a ready-made population going in and out of the store looking to buy USF stuff. Maybe you could approach him and offer a deal; sell it to him at a price where you make a bit of profit, and he can mark it up a little to make a bit of profit. Ask him, see what you can work out!

It make for a good Jim Leavitt Halloween costume  ;D... all you need are khakis, a USF polo, and the visor and hair.

I thought about those a while back, but the thought I had was that they should be given away as a promo to first 10K students or something.  That way you get a whole section or two of CJLs.  What a site that would be.

Ok, so I've just e-mailed Flair Hair Visors and described our situation, and it was truly an eloquent letter if I do say so myself. I was careful not to give away too many details so they can't cut me out of my own deal. I agree with Malt that it needs to be done right, otherwise it will be a little lame. Since there's no way for me to get licenses, something like Outfitter is a necessity. Thanks Faza. Well, I've done my best to get the ball rolling.

Quick Question -- if anyone cares -- if this thing were to get made, would you prefer a realistic hair (Leavitt-blond) or more of a parody-style hair (bright yellow)? I'm a little torn myself. I even think Gold might be cool.  ???

We ordered these months ago for shipment in September.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer was not able to get enough orders to produce them in USF.

It's called the "bobo visor"

We're gonna try again in 2010.

Hmmm... then they can't get too mad if a knock-off comes out I guess...

Well, it depends if they have a patent on it or not. Also, you'll still have to go thru CLC to get it approved which is the tough part sometimes.

Luckily, CLC allows for multiple vendors to produce similar, if not exact, items.....unlike the NFL.
