We have a regular customer at the card shop that's a big Akron fan. He brought his son in who is probably 8-10 years old. He asked me where he can get some 3Peat merch. Luckily, I was gifted an extra hat the other day and had it in my bag. Gave it to him and, man, you should've seen the smile on his face. He went to dinner and came back a couple hours later with the tags off. I asked if he will ever take the hat off and he said, "Nope," with a huge smile.
Never be afraid to talk Zips with people. Never know who you'll leave an impression on and foster life-long fandom.
Also, 3Peat merch is a huge hit. Props to Wentz and the FTRC crew on creating great merch.
