Instead of charging 70 bucks for an off brand one they currently sell, charge more for a legit one and fans will actually buy them. I have a theory that the official firm also makes a profit from selling fakes. This may also be part of their business, but we will never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what I've been told is that because it's a custom template that they have to order an abnormally large quantity and the dude who runs the team shop won't do it, something about only being on a year to year contract as the team store provider.

Couldn’t they just order jerseys from whoever produces the team’s jerseys for Nike? They would have the template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The athletic department under Chris May has never prioritized merchandise and merchandise licensing, I don't think there's a person in the AD designated to handle it.

I think we, as a fan base need to create a form email, with our position on the matter that the lack of good merchandise is a missed opportunity for the athletic department. Complete with research regarding similar schools merch offerings and schools we aspire to be like. I would like to, for lack of a better word, flood Chris May's inbox with this form email from everyone on this board and on twitter who feels the same way. meerkat, Billikenbooster, thetorch and 16 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this might sound like a hot take, but I’d be pretty surprised if most of higher-ups at SLU didn’t check this board regularly enough to at least know what’s happening here. I’m sure they probably dismiss 99% of it as MBM nonsense, but I’m sure they’re all aware of what’s said here, especially on issues like this.

NextYearBill Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Let's form a small committee and get this done. Multiple prong attack - go after SLU, go after Nike, go after suppliers in Asia Willing to kick in whatever investment capital is needed on my end.

Reinert310 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I’m not sure how easy this would be, or if they’d be willing to do it, but I know at least 1 or 2 former players have talked about wanting SLU gear. We should reach out to as many as we can to see if they’d help with the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
