Holiday Shopping - Turnover Buffs?
During the Big Ten championship game, Gus waxed poetic on an interactin he had with Will Johnson about the origins of the turnover buffs we all know and love. What caught my attention was Gus mentioning that Will had a site selling replicas. After quite a bit of searching, I'm coming up empty. And my Buckeye relative really needs a pair to cut down on the glare this winter. Can anyone help?

Here’s the store he has linked on Twitter:

Similar but different…I’m looking for Mikey Sainristil Frozone shirt he referenced in his vlog. Has anyone been able to track that one down?

I can't find the Frozone stuff, but he had this link on his twitter:

I wouldn't be surprised if he can't sell Frozone shirts because that is a Disney character and they don't really allow any use of characters outside of officially licensed products.

Just fyi, the replicas look nothing like actual "buffs" (buffalo-horned Cartier frames), though. What they wear on the sidelines are real buffs, which run for around $2k, depending on where you get them from. They are a replica of the wire frames, if anything.
In Detroit, its considered a sin to wear knockoff cartiers (Will knows), which is why I've thoroughly enjoyed the fact that he's making money from it. Happy for the athletes finding ways to make NIL work for them despite not having the Miami/SEC/OSU level deals waiting on them.

Charles Woodson had them on on the Fox NFL set the day after the Ohio win. He gave a shout out to the Will Jonson web site on the show.
BTW they are on back order. I ordered a pair nd got an email they will be delayed.

He's got an edited video of Kyle McCord promoting the Turnover Buffs on his site, it's pretty funny.
