Green Bay Packers Knit Hats Hard to Find

Apparently, these Green Bay Packers knit hats are hard to find. You’ve seen Brett Favre and other Packers players wearing them. I’m just surprised they’re not in stock anywhere. In fact, the very same hat is selling on eBay for $150. NFLShop.com has them for sale but if you need them in time for Christmas, you’re out of luck. There’s a five to six week wait. Kate Hogan, the team’s director of retail ops said she hasn’t seen an item become this popular in years:
“There’s just a feel around not just the town, but the state and with Packers fans across the country, that they haven’t had in probably 10 years. It’s definitely exciting. It’s a great problem to have.”
The Packers are not alone. A few other teams have hard-to-find hats — like the New England Patriots who are on a four-to-five-week wait. Even the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills are in one-week-wait status. I was in the Bills Store by Ralph Wilson Stadium yesterday and I can tell you there is a whole stack of these Bills hats. So, keep looking around but please don’t spend $150 on eBay. For an $18 cap, that should be against the law.
