A popular manufacturer of coolers and insulated drinkware is facing criticism and calls for a boycott after it canceled a conservative women’s group’s order for mugs featuring their logo, which it had no problem fulfilling last year.
The nonprofit Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women was disappointed when YETI refused to fulfill the order for the group which describes itself as “an all-women organization that specializes in the conservative outreach, education, and mentorship of young women.”
In a series of posts to X, the CBL explained that their order for the green mugs bearing their name and a Statue of Liberty logo was rejected by the company,

Yeti is way overpriced. They have the same design as their competitors but cost more. It's just a logo.

I second #1. YETI junk is way overpriced. If you purchase any of that junk you are wasting your money.

Conservatives should boycott Yeti. And I agree that they are WAY overpriced.

Buy Rtic. From Katy, TX, not Austin. Same quality, but a lot cheaper. Boycott Yeti.

I was given a drinking glass as a gift a couple of years ago. I will make sure I never purchase Yeti product in the future. Nice product but I am sure there are others just as nice and probably less expensive as #1 says. The prices of their coolers I've seen are outrageous.

Do the dufuses running Yeti realize who their actual customers are? It ain't northeastern birkenstock-wearing liberals, fer sher. It's the oilfield workers, bass fishers, off-roaders, etc. - not folks who will appreciate this little bit of stupidity from Yeti.

This one will be iinteresting. Is their precedent with other cases where it was ruled that designers cannot be forced to create products that include speech they disagree with. On the other side, Yeti had previously delivered the product, so what changed in their defense? "We don't like Trump" probably won't cut it.

So, has Yeti now become a pronoun?

Numerous cooler makers using same technology and just as good. So many idiots choosing to overpay for a brand name. "A fool and his money are soon parted"

I wonder who made the decision not to accept this group's business? It could be a small Leftist fish in the company who might soon be looking for a job. It will be interesting to see how Yeti responds to the public pressure. If they are smart, they will repudiate what happened, make it right, and issue clear corrective corporate guidance. If not, they deserve what happens.

I have looked at their stuff but charging 5-15 times the normal price makes me certain to never buy their products. Insane prices that NOTHING is worth.

Yeti...and many other famous brands subcontract out their bulk order advertising/imprinting, get their logo customization work done by "Merchology", was it Yeti themselves that cancelled or was it the Merchology folks? There are thousands of companies that do imprinting, that offer Yeti stuff as an option, as well as very similar products without the 50% premium of the Yeti brand name.
They banned them because of the word "Conservative" do they also bann the word "Conserve" from any printing? "Conservation"?
Do they ban the words "Forward, Progress, Progressive, Change... Democratic?
Do they provide products to ANY Liberal Organizations? Perhaps any Free Speech groups?
What is the "Stanley" company policy on custom orders for very similar Items?
I'm not gonna kneejerk into a "Bake the CAKE!" boycott/protest, but....if any conservative leaning groups, companies, corporations, outfitters, rodeos, livestock shows, ranches,(including US govt/Military) decide that THEY will cancel orders, explore other options, change to another manufacturer, I endorse their right to do as THEY please as well.
I really don't care much about $35 coffee cups, but...back in my college daze I was fairly fond of my "Get off your high horse" shirts, Polo shirts with a logo changed to a guy falling off, that actually cost less than the "Popular" elitists fave.

Yeti has been off my list for several years. First, the price is beyond ridiculous. Its an insult. Second, they came out in favor of gun control a few years back. When I see them deep discounted at stores I just keep on going. They can believe whatever they want but I dont have to pay them for it.

Not Yeti too! I have about 10 of those things. Home Depot or Lowes carried the cheaper version a few years back, and I picked up one every time I went to the store. Doesn't Yeti know being woke is over? The left claims they let the right define what is being woke. Stupid Tim said that. We may have coined woke, but they definitely defined wokeness. We just recognize it when we see it. Anyway, we know the left doesn't really care about true women's issues. They care about leftist women's issues. Why? Because they hate God! That's it at the end of the day.

Then only Yeti product I have is a black tumbler that I won a prize from my work's Christmas party back in 2019. The top prize was a 55-inch smart tv. I often used the Yeti for my coffee during my commute to work in the morning. One time I left it at work, so I used on of my wife's tumblers that she got from her job. It worked just as good if not better than my Yeti. I never did plan on buying a Yeti because they are very overpriced when other similar products are cheaper. Now I have another reason not to buy their stuff.

My son gave me a Yeti cooler for my birthday and I bought one of the original drink cups many, many years ago. The cup really does what they advertised it doing, not sure about the free cooler. Won't be spending my money on any anytime soon!
