OAT Approved Vendor List

This NFL season, I want to ensure our group members can trust the vendors they purchase from by providing the first Top 10 OAT-approved vendor list. There are plenty of scams and fakes on Facebook. Not in OAT. These are vendors I have either done business with personally or people I trust have. You can trust that these fans have your best interests at heart.

A few have been featured here previously, such as my “HAT PLUG” Valentin Robles. Since 2018, when I bought my first LID from him, he has been a dedicated Patreon and Facebook supporter. In addition, a great friend and family man located in the DFW Metroplex. As the one of the most tenured, he kicks off our 2026 approved vendor list.

1. Valentin Robles, AKA BIG VAL – My “Hat Plug” was featured back in 2021 on Official America’s Team. Read more here. 

2. NARD GOT SOLE

Ranard Hardman, AKA the “Shoe Plug,” was featured originally in 2019. Read more here. He created my custom 88 Behavior prototype AIR FORCE ONES in 2025. He has created many kicks for A-list celebrities located in Houston, TX. OAT’s most tenured vendor. His brand Dope Active Father speaks for itself, and he’s also a DJ in Houston. DM him on Facebook here today and tell him BG sent ya!

3. Riverwalk to Metroplex

George Gomez, owner of G&S Tours in San Antonio, TX, buses other Cowboys fans for the love of America’s Team. We first connected in 2018, and in 2025, through One Star One Family, we finally collaborated. Read about it here. Fortunately, with four Pro Shops in the city, I double-dipped on this trip, grabbing content and merchandise. The Riverwalk was festive. Send George a direct message on Facebook and tell him BG sent ya!

4. Indiana Star

Thanks to the “Coldest Cowboys Fan I Know” from Alaska, our next OAT-approved vendor hails from Indiana. I’ve learned that helmets are prized possessions for some fans. In this case, Crystal Visions by Lori Davis shines them up with her custom bedazzle twist. We met tailgating last November in Las Vegas, and I quickly added her to my network. Watch our podcast together on YouTube here.

5. Blue Icing

Facebook created a divine appointment for me last September. Missy is a Diehard Cowboys fan who creates custom NFL cakes for fans. Although she’s in Nacogdoches, TX, she went the extra mile and pulled up to Stoney’s in Arlington for our annual home-opener meet-up in true 88 Behavior. Have your cake and eat it too with Missy this NFL season. Watch our podcast together recently on YouTube here

6. Meet & Greet

I hopped on Facebook with my vision in 2016. A year later, I discovered FansZone, run by two sisters, Cynthia and Lisa. Initially, in 2017, I locked in with the them both at a home opener in Dallas. This is where I swam with a SHARK for the first of many times in the deep with Cowboys fans. Then, in 2018, Cowboys fans took over Miami. Read more here. The sisters will take care of you; tell them both BG sent ya!

7. Balloons & Events

When the NFL schedule drops each May, dates get circled like Atlanta in November 2024. During my travels, I met fans like Michelle, who recently became the OAT “Balloon Plug.” A certified event designer, she offers her event-planning services to the fan bases of 2 different NFC teams. The Cowboys & Falcons. DM her on Facebook at Michelle’s Balloons & Crafts. Be sure to tell her BG sent ya!

8. Autographed Merchandise

Every Facebook group needs a guy in TN like Keegan Ultieg. Chances are, if you ever won any autographed merchandise from me, it came from his supply. For more than 5 years, I have done business with Keegan. Not one problem or issue to date. Reliable, and all merchandise comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. If you’re in the market for Mancave or SheShed items, he’s your guy! DM him on Facebook and tell him BG sent ya!

9. Non-Profit Driven

In the beginning, One Star One Family supported the OAT Patreon. Meeting both DJ Kai and his wife, Sherri, on the hot sands of South Beach in 2018 at a FansZone event marked the beginning of a healthy connection in OAT. Now, One Star One Family is a non-profit. They also throw the biggest fan rallies and events on the road each season. Tap their link to learn more; they also sell their own merchandise. Help support a Non-Profit driven by Cowboys fans this NFL season.

10. Arctic Smoke

The last couple of years, I have noticed the cigar culture growing on Facebook. Thanks to the “Coldest Cowboys Fan I Know,” RC Woodson, Cowboys fans in OAT can now put some smoke in the air with ABC. I’ve added them for two reasons. Merchandise and community. Similar to OAT, RC’s Arctic Burn Crew Facebook Group is built for cigar aficionados. His crew will represent at the BIG SMOKE in Las Vegas this September. Join his group and stand up your crew this NFL season.

Conclusion

I’m certain this list will grow before the 2027 season. If I missed you, please send me a DM to get featured next season. The OAT Facebook group community is continuing to grow thanks to vendors like these ten. Don’t get scammed on Facebook; do business the right way with great fans in OAT. Which vendor do you plan to do business with this season first?
