Try Wal-Mart. Pretty sure I saw that red one at the one in Ames about a week ago.

i'd rather have the new logo, and would rather have a solid color tent. not really a huge fan of the pinwheel style.

thx for the help though.

Do not get the cheap tent from Wal Mart. They break easily if you are not careful. Make sure you spend the extra money and get the Logo brand one that is EZ up. I broke the Wal Mart one after 3 weeks using it. If you tweak it just right it will bend and break.

Just wanted to send out the warning.

The one they had up at Wal-Mart had a sign that said you could order them on-line only. I checked it out a little, and I don't think the quality was quite as good as the EZ-Up's they sell on-line, (which is what I got), but they were a little less expensive. The price for the sides, if you want them, was just about the same.

Im pretty sure Target had ones with the new logo in Ames, but not for sure on the brand, otherwise Scheels had them last time I was down there

Make sure you get one with as few plastic parts as possible. I got mine at Hy-Vee about two years ago and it basically exploded this weekend, broke in six different places. Those Logo brand ones seem to be constructed much better.

Is there anywhere you can just buy the top? I wouldn't mind replacing mine with a new logo canopy if it's not too expensive.

Mine is bullet proof. Super strong aluminum frame ...10x15 from EZ up. It's the best one they make. Got tired of replacing the junk ones from WalMart every 2 years.

Cost damn near $1000 with 3 sides, stakes, sandbags, and carrying case, but well worth the money.
