 Starting in late October, the calls for warm winter polar fleeces start pouring in at J&O Fabrics. Seems everyone from our urban retail specialty shops to our suburban housewives have the same idea in mind…creating unique one of a kind fleece outerwear, crafts and accessories for the upcoming season and satisfying the never ending demand from their friends, families and customers. From major league sport divisions like NFL, NBA and MLB, to college teams, military, and novelty prints, fleece is the fabric of choice when the winter winds start to blow. One demand that has yet to be met in the mayhem of requests is the desire for NY Giants polar fleece. With thousands of fans nationwide pining for this highly prized and sought after material, it makes you wonder why the fabric mills haven’t jumped on the demand bandwagon and printed a few designs out for these pleading football fans. And when I say fabric mills, I am speaking mainly of Fabric Traditions. As the only manufacturer of licensed NFL and MBL fabrics, Fabric Traditions provides a majority of our craft and textile goods stores with cottons and fleeces for teams like the Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, NY Mets, San Francisco 49er’s and a plethora more. When asked by some of the store owners and buyers alike, why they won’t throw their potential customers a bone, they simply stated that “It would not be cost efficient to print the Giants fleece, since the demand is not high enough”. Well, as a customer service rep at one of the top online fabric outlets, I’m here to say “Wake up!” Every day we hear the requests and sighs of disappointed grandmothers, crafters and diehard fans, as their dreams become deferred with the repeated answer…” No Giants fleece”. A hopeful search on EBay, Google, Yahoo or even the ancient but still in production Yellow Pages Book, reaps a search left unsatisfied. NO GIANTS FLEECE! With a demand for goods like this, it makes hungry entrepreneurs and greedy money makers want to sell their possessions to start their own textile mills just to reap the benefits and grow rich quick; until the authorities catch up. So what’s the solution to the no-sew fleece throw on your husband’s Christmas wish list, or your little brother’s fleece pillow set listed on his #1 Giants fan request letter? Keep the calls comin’! The squeaky wheel gets oiled and the power is in the people, so keep the calls and emails coming. Better yet, contact Fabric Traditions direct. Let your voice be heard! This is your team and you are their fans. Say it loud, “WE WANT THE GIANTS FLEECE AND WE WANT IT NOW!!” For your convenience, we listed the contact information for Fabric Traditions.

 With the summer slowly coming to an end and the infamous football season already underway, wives across America are pulling out their pda’s and gearing up for their ‘girls night out’ evenings, stock piling their home pantries with all the palate pleasing couch potato necessities their husbands will require for the next several months, and purchasing cute little lace numbers for the nights when his No#1 team scores the winning touchdown in the last few minutes of the game.

Or maybe, you saw the pink elephant in the middle of the field and chose to ignore it. Like the 12 Donavan McNabb jerseys hanging in his closet, or the countless hours logged on to the NFL Fantasy Football site throughout your courting years. Either way, he’s a football fan, and since you are his wife, so are you, whether you want to be or not. Period. You’ll catch yourself checking the game while eating dinner at the local TGIF with your girlfriends the night the Eagles play the Giants. You’ll know the players by their colors and numbers, and some, by their tight ends. You’ll even place bets at your office pool every now and again just to see the look on your boss’s face when you score big again.
