CLEVELAND — Have you picked up the latest Joe Flacco Craft Pilsner yet? How about the new Joe Flacco brand of locally made salsa? Do they make that yet? Probably.
Everybody is cashing in on Flacco-mania, perhaps no one more than our industrious local apparel makers who are so notoriously swift to take advantage of moments such as these, and exploit them for maximum profit. And good for them! Supply and demand. That's capitalism, baby. All that stuff.
But sky high prices on team apparel can be a real hindrance to expressing your spirit, for those who might lack the means. Those hot commodity Flacco jerseys -- in fact, ALL player jerseys current retail for $130 bucks at the Browns team shop.
But there is a solution right in your neighborhood. Mike Polk investigates the affordable browns merch situation at three local thrift stores around town.
