Default Slightly OT - searching for fabric

I am looking for NHL Hockey team fabric, specifically the San Jose Sharks.

I know there is a way to search the web and hit lots of shops, but I don't
remember how to do it. Can anyone here help me?

Thanks in advance.

Default Slightly OT - Hockey fabric was searching for fabric

Thanks to everyone's suggestions on how to find the hockey fabric.

From what I have been able to find, there are MLB and NFL fabrics, but no
NHL fabrics. One gal at the Hancock's Fabrics in San Jose, CA told me that
the NHL won't license it. Whether that is true or not, I have no idea, but
since I cannot find anything, it just might be true.

Also, I still cannot find the site that I used to generally look for fabric.
I used it about a 1 or so ago. You would go to this site and list what you
were looking for and then stores associated with this site would respond to
you as to whether they had the fabric or not. I just cannot remember the
site and am hoping that someone here might.

Thanks.

I know in the past WalMart has had sports team fabric for the teams
appropriate to your location.

I just got back from Hancock's, and they have football fabric,
basketball fabric and baseball fabric (plus lots and lots and LOTS of
LSU Tigers fabric) but no hockey fabric. I looked especially.

For what ever reason, the NHL hates to sell rights to use the logo for
various teams.

Greed. They want to keep all the profits for themselves, and only sell
overpriced readymade stuff in the sports shops. I don't follow any kind
of professional athletics, but I can read prices and store stocks.
