The ULTIMATE disrespect!!!

Maybe they can sell my Aaron Brooks jersey for me.

The internet is a wonderful thing to see all these people from far away being Saints Fans is an inspiration.

Ive seen Saints hats & shirts in larger Boston stores, but not Providence.

ColoWhoDat · 11-26-2009, 11:06 AM

Here in Colorado, finding Saints merchandise is like finding gold. Sure, finding hats is not too uncommon (they tend to be VERY loud and ugly, though) but anything else...good luck. Most of the local collector shops know me and my preference for any and all Saints merchandise so whenever they get anything, they will let me know as soon as I step foot inside their shop.

What bothers me is the lack of t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. There are so many nice things out there from the NFL shop (I get the catalogs) and it is disappointing to never see any Saints gear.

In Broncoland, we get any and everything Broncos and ALL of the AFC west is represented, too. Then there are the "popular kids" like the Patriots, Cowgirls, etc. Seeing that the Who Dat Nation is EVERYWHERE, we really should be represented. Hopefully with the success that we are experiencing this year, it can lead to getting more merchandise in the future.

And another thing...when are we ever going to get the NFL Films treatment with some sort of DVD release? There could have been one based off of 2006 alone...

Ok, it's obvious, that you have a "personal" problem with me. And if my comments offended you, I apologize, but you seem to have been singling me out on this topic. If you read the rest, you might notice I'm not the only one who sees this as a problem, or has a problem with it. And when I said knock someone out, I was explaining myself, not threatening anyone here. If you have a problem with me, which from the way you have responded to me, then so be it, but why not let it out, and we will squash it. I am too old to be going back and forth over this. So, with this post, if you want to squash it, great, if not, then I am done with this conversation. Happy Thanksgiving.

No nothing personal at all. There were no personal attack or name calling in my posts.

I had the very same issue and I explained how I delt with it and won. The store added Saints items the following year and I purchased... it was a win win. We also debated business practice where I do have some knowledge owning 2 different business myself and about to start another at the beginning of the year.

...and I know what you ment about knocking someone out 'anyone can talk tough on the internet". I am sure you didn't mean anything literally.

im with SP25 on this issue... an NFL specialty shop in cali who doesnt have at least a Reggie Bush jersey or even know who he is (he played at USC for petes sake) and doesnt know that the Saints are 10-0.. i find it pretty dumb that the manager or owner or clerk or whoever he was speaking to in the "specialty" store doesnt keep up with the sport that he is selling merchandise for.... that is pretty retarded if u ask me... especially since its been plastered all over ESPN for the past 4 or 5 weeks... i think that if you are going to sell something, then you should at least try to have recent information about it.. whether it be sporting merchandise or even power tools or whatever..

(before anyone says anything, I do order stuff online, but I like to see if the sports stores have it as well) Anyway, I walked into the store, and the only saints stuff I found, was two sideline hats, and the sideline beanie. I asked the store owner if he had anything else, and he responded, "The Saints?" "No I'm sorry, we don't get much request for the Saints."

THEY HAD DETROIT, CLEVELAND, AND TAMPA BAY STUFF, BUT NOT EVEN A SAINTS KEY CHAIN!!! It was very upsetting, as you can see. I asked him, will you guys be getting any stuff before Christmas? "No." "Sorry."

I even told him that he was insulting me, by having Detroit Lions blankets, but not even a Saints bottle opener. Has anyone else ran into this???

same man i live in Baldwin Park, l.a. . went to a westfield mall in west covina. found some good saints gear. went down to carson near long beach didnt find jack ****. come down to LA theres a bunch of stuff good luck..
