Colt Brennan is hugely popular here in Hawaii and we are a State of the Union, but we may as well live on Mars when it comes to getting a Brennan replica jersey from the Redskins Store. The Redskins, who play in FedEx Field and who ship via FedEx, won’t deliver to us or Alaska.
The issue came to light on the Colt Brennan Blog. A quick call to the Redskins store confirmed that, indeed, the Skins don’t ship to the forty-ninth or fiftieth State. Guess Honolulu is too far Hawayy. [Sorry; couldn’t help it.]
Odd logic, considering that customers pay the shipping charges and FedEx will gladly deliver here. But then, this is Washington, where those out-of-towners in Congress accuse the place of oddness to get elected, then contribute to it once they get here.
It’s just odd here. The District of Columbia is the place where residents play $18 billion in federal income tax– highest per capita in the U.S. – yet don’t get a single Congressional vote on how it’s spent. Something like that got this whole country going.
This being Washington, the solution is to write your congressman, we Colt Brennan fans. If Arlen Specter can bully Commissioner Roger Goodell on Spygate, surely Daniel Inouye and Daniel Akaka can push Daniel Snyder to ship to Hawaii. I suspect both have been in the owner’s box at FedEx Field, or old RFK, at least once.
It’s odd, but that’s how things get done around here. We’re part of the 50 states and when you Mainlanders want to come to have a nice vacation, where do you decide to go? “oh, HAWAII!” so…remember, we don’t live in grass shacks and yes we do have internet and we do have FedEx and UPS here. so go figure! Send us our jerseys!
“I have heard that my jersey is selling really well. I always joke that 90 percent of the fans buying the jersey are coming from Hawaii. I have a lot of loyalty to Hawaii and I have a great following there. I’d love to start the same thing here in Washington.” ~~ Colt Brennan, from his Training Camp Blog on Redskins.com.
