    Poor quality control, but who buys anything without looking the entire thing over?

    I blame that as much on the guy that bought it as anyone else.

    I don't know what's more shameful...

    The error on the hat or being gouged $28 for a flippin baseball hat.

    He probably saw it and bought it anyway for the attention.

    And while this team deserves a lot of criticism, I can't really blame them for this. The hats are made by a third party and the store is run by a third party, and no store has the time or staff to check every piece of merch on their shelves.

    Made in China, no less. Cost to make it was probably 3 yuan

    It happens. I met a guy once who bought a hat that said UCLA BRUNIS directly from the stadium store. We had a good laugh at that one.

    My last name was spelled incorrectly in my Senior Year book.

    I never noticed until YEARS later.

    I think an ex girlfriend who was on the yearbook committee was responsible for that.

    I used to work for their Merchandise Dept years ago. Looks like the same clowns are running the show.

    Shocker.
    The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

    Yep. Things do get mislabeled, and sales folks can make mistakes.

    Back-in-the-day, the shop at 3 Rivers in PGH sold other team's baseball caps, and also pennants.

    When I was a kid, I remember seeing other teams' gear in every stadium I went to: Toronto, Philly- I swear I even saw Dolphins gear at Rich my first time there, and we weren't even playing the Fish.

    Does anyone else remember that?

    It made sense. Sell some trinkets to opposing fans, make a buck.

    That was before today's sports tribalism and the stoving in the head of anybody that has a different view.

    Cultural revolution...LOL

    At War Memorial Stadium, they used to sell the gumball helmet with the pin of the Bills, as well as the opponent. In fact they sold pins for the entire AFC East.Pennants too.
