Also, how do we get more Under Armour gear for fans to buy than just this?

The warm up gear they have on I could use and my oldest would love to have. I still want the Chaos and Disruption gear and the warm up hoodie from last year was great.
Had a discussion with Tyler about this, it's been one of my biggest pet peeves for a long time. I've been pretty vocal to a lot of people that I think our fan gear just sucks. You go in the book stores on campus and it's filled with random Nike stuff, some weird brands you've never heard of that we just put our logo on that just looks cheap (what is
this?), mixed in with a few UA items.
One problem is the cool stuff that we see the players wear is team issued gear that isn't sold to the public, and that really goes for all schools. The other issue is just our school size in general, when it comes to Under Armour. Small schools like us are rarely going to get the custom gear that schools like Texas Tech and Auburn get for the NCAA tournament. We're not going to be on tv enough or have the sales to warrant that. Which I get. College athletics is a spot wear UA really struggles next to Nike and Adidas. The majority of the schools that they sponsor our our size.
But still think we should be doing more to have REAL UA gear made for us and for the fans. I don't know exactly what that is, but I believe it's something that Ivey has on his to do list. I go into Jack Backers and the UC store every time I come to Nac....and I rarely walk out with much if anything. The custom gear you can get through the site always comes back cheap looking, crooked, etc. I bought
this custom shirt last year before going to Ireland (because we have very few SFA Basketball shirts) and it's off centered and the text is somewhat faded, as well as being a bad fitting shirt overall. I don't even want to wear it and can't return it because it's custom.
Sorry, I can go a long time on this topic. I always encourage everyone to be just as vocal about it, squeaky wheel gets the grease you know?
