It's a start but nothing to jump up and down about. I've used this company for years and they didn't expand the line from what they have been offering all along. It's a shame they can't find a company that really offers some great stuff! Their Colt's clothing is awesome and well-priced but you can't access it thru this website!
 
Ok, I don't mind someone official coming on here to tell us about the new sycamore gear stuff... but do you have to post it in every sport?

The "current discussion" list is nothing but these posts now..
 
Nice but they need more stuff -- 1 polo??

Guess between this site, the bookstore...

Good to have another option
 
Yeah, I've purchased through them before... you can actually get to them by clicking on the Football Fanatics banner below -- for you non supporting members that have ads still. The selection is pretty limited.

Just a little bit further, I don't think the issue is with any retailers or what have you, the issue is with clothing manufacturers, they just don't make much ISU related. I'm not sure how you correct that, but that is what we're up against. That said, other Valley teams have much bigger product catalogs from Nike, Reebok, etc... so I'd imagine maybe it is something they negotiated? Hell, I was at IUPUI with my wife (grad student) and they have like 40+ t-shirts designs in their bookstore -- decent stuff, too.
 
I guess what bugs me is that over the years, we have had MANY items I would love to have bought, that have been sold in the past, and now it seems that much of the good looking stuff is simply not available. I have dozens of Indiana State items, especially hats, that I would love to replace because they are dirty etc. that I really like but this site has ONE hat that I am interested in, period. Look at the bookstore site. It is from a different supplier and it is just as bad as this one. They simply need to go out and find ONE big supplier, tell them what they want, and give ALL of the business to them if they will broaden the product line and use some imagination. Right now they have 3-4 suppliers and NONE of them are doing a good job in selection. I would hazard to guess that is what IUPUI has done.

It's a chicken and egg argument...

the suppliers will say there's no demand and the customers say there's no product...

I likely need to check the display on my monitor but man is that shade of blue 'BRIGHT'
 
Kinda disappointing that there's no men's basketball shirt/sweatshirt either...there's a football one but no hoops.

I'm all over that pink spirit hair dye though in the accessories section!

My post would be funnier if you knew how little hair that I have left on my head...I clip it myself on #1 setting...feeble attempt to hide my bald spot. :)
 
That stuff is pretty impressive. They (the university AND the athletic department) just need to do some fricking research, get some opinions from some people that don't wear horned-rimmed glasses and panty hose, pick the RIGHT company to do it and MARKET themselves. We have ALL been bitching about this stuff for years and there are no more excuses. It is short-sided at the very least and they are turning away profit that they could be reeling in if they just did what makes sense, properly MARKETING our university. If damn IUPUI and can do it, WE can do it.

....did you say SORE subject????

And Boda, you are right, naming rights would get in the way of that type of product but you get the point.
