As for Tebow, the Florida Gators' quarterback and 2007 Heisman trophy winner, Pritchett wrestled with the moral dilemma surrounded supporting a rival's campaign for Heisman.
"It's going to be hard to make those hats," Pritchett said.
"Knowshon's our man, but if we're going to make this a business, we've got to put [Tebow] in there, for the money. The first Tebow hat we get is going to be tough."
Pritchett and Molony will keep on top of the ever-changing Heisman watch by creating a blog through their Web site where users can voice their favorites for the Heisman trophy and custom order hats for their team.
The Web site is going through several legal processes and is set to launch within a month. Until that time, orders for "Knowshon for Heisman" hats are being taken at HeismanGear@gmail.com.
This may seem like the work of a lifelong fan, but Pritchett, from Fairhope, Ala., was raised a Crimson Tide fan and didn't attend his first Georgia game until his freshman year of college in 2004.
"I absolutely loved it and fell in love with the team," Pritchett said of his first game. "This all came out of us wanting to support Knowshon and Georgia and this year we're going to have, which is going to be incredible."
