Adidas made the Marx A-Flex but turns German



German as in "Hogan's Hero's" Guard Scholtz's, "I don't know nothingggggggg!."

In the age of the Internet you can't even believe pictures. I once had a picture of me pitching baseball, in uniform in the classic pose of winding up to throw. I had it made at one of the tourist type shops in Seattle around 1995. I called it my, "You gonna believe me or your lying eyes?" photo. But I digress.

So I went to Adidas' Internet store and tried to find "Marx A-Flex." It showed out of stock.

But, just to be sure I called Adidas Consumer Relations at 800-448-1796. The young lady I spoke with confirmed they had manufactured the hat but was no longer. When asked if I could buy one direct she said that some may still be around but she had no idea of where or how many.

I have an idea. They are in Hussein's warehouse waiting for the 2012 campaign.

  2. Thanks. I am glad to know that a few made it into the market rather than being held by Hussein for '12!
