From the video promo that vest looks like it costs $20 tops to manufacture. Why is he selling it for so much?

I'd bet that a bunch of marks have theirs on order already.

BRN is kind of like QVC for Bubba's marks. Everything sells for way too much, but that's the beauty of the free enterprise system.

Since he duped so many of his fans into paying SiriusXM for his free radio show, probably figured a lot of those same fools would buy his Gay for Bubba vest for way too much money.

I would think that a large number might also be sold to to the toothless in-bred sister fucking hillbillies in TN.

Unless of course they spent their entire welfare check on meth then it wont happen until they do a few b & e's or send their wives over to the rest area to suck some cock for cash.

Please...Please...Please.... If anyone is actually buys one of these you have to let us know in this thread. It's doubtful anyone would actually admit it, but I'd love to know. The Bubba Army shirts and mud flaps and whatever else are bad enough, but 160$ biker vests with wannabe Hells Angel/Outlaw bottom rockers to boot? You know none of them would be caught dead wearing one of these vests. They even admitted it on the show they wouldn't actually wear one of these. It's for the "Army" to wear, so they say. Except for Ned, of course.

Holy shit.. I just checked the vests out. I swear they look like Pleather. They must be less than 20 bucks to make. 160$ ??? You gotta be kidding. I bet the Biker vest clearance will be coming soon.

I love the reviews below the item. It's pretty obvious there hasn't been much of a positive response. It seems they can't take down the bad reviews quick enough on the item page.

It looks like they've taken down most of the negative reviews people have been leaving, but they kept getting posted in the shop. Now they've disabled reviews for the biker vest. You should see the talk going around the biker forums that have mentioned the vest. It's getting a real laugh. I haven't been able to find a single positive response. I wonder if anyone has actually bought one. know one seems to be admitting it at least. This just looks like it was a bad idea all round.

We should email Howard and let him know about these vests. It will make Richard and Sal's Tradio T-shirts not really look like that big of a deal.

I own a Bubba Army Sweatshirt and T-Shirt but would never in my right mind pay 160+ for a fucking hick ass vest.

I think Howard has always been a little irritated about Bubba's method of squeezing as much money out of the fans as he could. Only because Bubba kind of represents Howard in a way. Of course he's not going to say anything on air. Except of course when Bubba was caught selling Stern Show T-shirt slogans on his website last year with Ronnie (Lets Fuck some whores).

I'm sure he's not happy about the Bubba store. Before he would always claim Bubba didn't make enough at serious so he had to, but whats the excuse now. Bubba already intimated to how much he's making at Serious alone when he said O and A make 3 times his salary at Serious. O and A make around 3 mill so Bubba makes around 1 Mill here at Serious. I hardly think that puts him in the poor house. Apparently he's made that much here at serious all along since he claims he wasn't offered anymore with this contract. Add that to the regular radio money and he's making good money. More than enough to build his own Gym, Studio, multiple houses etc etc etc. I don't think Howard can brush off his overcharging the fans anymore so he probably just keeps his comments to himself. I really think it bothers him thoe. Especially since he's connected to Howards channels. I'd like to hear what he says off the air about it.

I never could understand why these radio guys with web stores have to gouge their fans so much. Selling stuff is one thing, but it seems they always seem to charge 3-4 times the going rate for any particular item.

I had to go check these out after reading this. Oh my god, Bubba's biggest ripoff to date. The patches aren't even attached to the vest from what is listed on the store. I own an embroidery/screen printing/promotional products business so I know what all this stuff costs. The tee shirts aren't too much of a rip off, pretty much standard mark up for something like this. After all, it is about making money. But some of the stuff he jacks you good on. I love Bubba and I'll never stop listening but all this BS he sells makes me sick.

It's Sirius. And listening to the segment with Richard and Sal it makes more sense for Howard to be upset, since they're actually on his show. But it also makes more sense for them to sell merch since they don't make as much money as Bubba. Plus Sal let himself get into a massive hole of debt he has to dig himself out of. They realize Howard will be hanging it up soon and they need to look to the future and are taking Artie's advice of going on the road on their own. I don't see why Howard is flipping out about a few shirts. I find the whole argument about "gouging" the audience ridiculous. If there's a market for something, why not sell it? It's capitalism, the system that allowed Howard to make his millions of dollars.

I personally think the shirts Richard and Sal are selling are hideous. But I'm not going to piss and moan about it nor begrudge them for making a buck where they can.

Now I don't know how Howard feels about Bubba's merch, but at one point it went against his principles to only work four days a week. And up until recently, he would never put a terrestrial radio show on his channels. So it's not far fetched to guess he may no longer care about what Bubba decides to sell.

They already admitted on air none of them besides Ned maybe would get caught wearing one of these themselves. So it's obvious there just for the gullible 'Bubba Army" fans. I still haven't come across one single post or circumstance of someone admitting to buying one of these things. Either people are to scared to admit it for fear of endless goofing or they have sold a boatload of vests counting up to 0.0.

I have to say when the idea came up I thought wearing a vest with a bottom rocker of a state would wind up in a beating but I was wrong. Show up to a motorcycle event in that thing and I think you get the ass whooping on general principle.

OK, I was at the flea market yesterday and the Mexican leather dealer with biker jackets and vests, has this exact model sans the hideous patches, for a total of $19.99!!! It was real leather as I checked it out and was teh exact model that they desecrate with those Crayola iron on patches.


Shameless mark up there. I'm sure 25 cent makes the patches out in modular city to make up for his idle time during no merch sales. Grand total investment for vest $22 and mark up to $149! Return of $127 if someone should blackout and decide to buy.

Bubbers new house must be done and it is time to make payments!

Bubba is really Rush Limbaugh's alter ego and his next item will be the barca lounger with Rush's name crossed off and replaced with Bubba or Ned. Only $5,500.


Rush and Bubba are the same person, but spew different political ideals depending on who is listening.

You don't need to be a supporter to post pics, just a "Full member". Please, post us a pic of you in the vest or at least the vest. I find it hard to believe anyone actually bought one. I'd like to know how you came to the decision to cough up nearly 200$ for something you can get for less than 20$ minus the patches which might cost 2$ themselves? Don't you feel ripped off a little???? know matter how they picture it they look cheep as hell. Even the patches look cheap. It would probably look better without the patches.

If your willing to give bubba 200$ for next to nothing to help by his new house you should at least get promoted to 4 star General in the "Bubba Army"

Ha ha. Those vests look even better than the Bubba vest. If anyone feels they have to have a "Bubba Army" biker vest why not just by the 25$ vest and make your own Bubba Army patch and state rocker for 5 bucks? I still think it would look gay as fuck, but at least you'd save close to 150%. Sorry my math is scrwed. You'd save over 500% So if you wanna look like a gay biker, go for it.
