Why don't more equipment OEMS do casual logo'd apparel IE t-shirts/hoodies? Is this something you'd wear?

I have a couple Mizuno long-sleeve tees with a hood on them. Absolutely love them.

Definitely agree, wish there were more options.
 
Puma has logo hoodies.
 
I would like to venture more towards casual OEM clothing, but I'm also a cheap bastard and don't want to pay $25+ for a tee shirt. I have picked up a few on sale, though.
 
I’m not a big logo guy so no I would not wear them.

I was talking more like Cobra/Callaway etc.

They probably don’t because several equipment OEMs own or are sister companies with apparel firms. they would rather that the apparel brand is emphasized.

This is what I was thinking as well. I would love to have a hoodie from every OEM I play.

I’ve got a few, some companies do it here and there. Have a couple TT shirts and a golf pride long sleeve tshirt hoodie
 
Setting up a clothing line is expensive. It is much better for an OEM to buy or partner with a clothing line for casual stuff. A Callaway or Titleist or Cobra fan won’t often rush out to buy a t-shirt from an OEM they don’t use. Many don’t have as much a problem wearing a Travis Mathew or Puma t-shirt regardless of what they have in the bag. Except @Jank because he apparently buys his golf t-shirts at Goodwill
 
I’ve got a few I believe I have Srixon, Callaway, Mizuno, Ping. I wish they made more as well as some make so humerus stuff.
 
I no longer do logos so not for me, but there was a time I used to and there’s definitely a market for them. I use to enjoy wearing the Nike golf tee’s.

Screen printing is relatively cheap on a large scale 🤷‍♂️ . I'm curious why hats seem to be prominent from every OEM but nothing else that could be an easy add-on to an online order etc.
 
I might wear something like a hoodie or t-shirt if they were really cool designs, but mostly I'm too cheap to pay golf OEM prices for casual wear.
