I picked one up today.

They are The Game white, fitted (S, M, L, XL). similar to this one:

Beanie on top is orange, air holes orange, lines are brown. Big text says FALCON. Little text says Aye Ziggy Zoomba. Has BGSU in orange on the back.

$16.99

So we're including the "e" now?

Until I started visiting this website some 4 years ago I always spelled aye with the e. Guess my Scottish origins where aye is commonly spoken and spelled out as a response had me thinking of it that way. Some pirates, not of the east carolina variety, also put the e in there. . .

I brought it up on the band forum last year and with a quick look at dictionary dot com was informed that either ay or aye are accepted spellings of the word.

I ziggy zoomba dot com, do you?

that's strange because I always thought that the University recognized it as ay-ziggy-zoomba and not aye-ziggy-zoomba. Hmmm. interesting. well atleast to me

Wonder if the "Aye" Ziggy Zoomba hats were made in North Carolina.

That would make me queasy.

And they probably don't have a big market for orange-brown-and-white hats that say "Falcon" and "BGSU."

(Kidding. I know what you meant.)

The director of the bookstore indicated today that the "AYE" caps have been pulled and shipped back.

If you have one- you have a rare bird.

Look for the properly spelled hats to return soon.

Awesome move by the bookstore staff. They could have just as easily shrugged it off and waited for the next shipment to get corrections. Top notch!

(And don't worry, we already have plenty of rare birds around here, they'll fit right in!)

Since the athletic department took my suggestion from five years ago and finally made single game tickets available online . . . Here's another one for them . . . Keep the pressure on adidas to bring in the apparel that we see on the sidelines. I know the pullovers and polo shirts and pants are common, but why is it that we can't get the hats anymore? I bought both of the brown and black Urban hats that came out and very few have been available in either bookstore since.

It's also a crying shame that adidas doesn't make our jerseys available at all either, considering that UCLA, Tennessee, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Wisconsin are easily available at eastbay.com and other retail outlets.

Given our recent success, our "strange" name and the "odd" color scheme, we could very easily be marketed as Nike does with Gonzaga's basketball team and now Boise State's football team.

Or you could look at the flip side and ask "How long were they on the shelves before someone caught the error?"
