That and when they start selling our gear at Cracker Barrel.

Or 7-11, ariports, and random convenience stores and gas stations around the state. Or hell, when the Washington Nationals sell college colors hats, I would love to see our name on that list (University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Georgetown University, George Washington University, George Mason University, University of Maryland, American University and U.S. Naval Academy, and soon to be JMU):

Do the hats actually say the university name on them? If not, the Georgetown hat works for ODU, ECU could be JMU, W&M is GMU etc.

I don't believe so. But it's for marketing, putting our name out there. I understand they were trying to do the "local" schools, which make sense until VT and UVA which only are there because of the large amount of followers and alumni in the Norther VA/DC/MD area. I know Norfolk is far from local in DC, and which Harrisonburg is closer that DC is. But the point of the post was that I wish we had a big enough following/demand for us to be included in something like that. I guarantee the schools are getting some money from those hats, even though they don't physically have their names on it, because the Nationals are using their names and colors to sell them (I know you can't copyright colors but still).

And even though Georgetown uses Navy and Silver, I'm sure if they really did and ODU had there would (hopefully) be hints of light blue in there

EDIT: Actually, I looked up the GTown hat, and it does look exactly like the OD baseball hat that I own:

But my point still stands
