Zip_ME87 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 In case anyone else is interested, I came across a website where you can purchase customizable Zips apparel like this. http://www.prepsportswear.com/product/us/Ohio/The-University-of-Akron-Zips/Embroidered-Tall-Men-s-Silk-Touch-Polo.aspx?schoolid=2609192&productid=577&pc=navy&category=310&d=19681&up_ss2=custom5You can pick among a number of sports or other Zips activities (such as band, alumni, & a few others).

Balsy Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've been eye balling that site for awhile. Seems like a nice thing. Perhaps we should do a ZipNation something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I would just contact Dan Fannely at Akron Felt And Chenille. They can make you anything you want and they have all the emblems including the new Z emblems. Most of the teams buy their gear from AF&C. You can go to their website and choose the garment or hat you want and they will customize it to your specs. It is usually only a 4-5 day turnaround and they will ship or you can pick it up from their store located right near the Rubber Bowl. http://www.akronfeltandchenille.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K92 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I can verify AF&C does a great job. You can also get the Akron logo embroidered on any piece of clothing you bring in right on campus. The service used to be on the bottom floor of the honors dorm next to Bulger Hall but I think they have moved to Quaker Square. I think it is called Custom Imprint Service but I'm not positive.

Balsy Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 You are correct Keener. While I was on campus they were called "Custom U" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I know that a custom t-shirt shop is moving in next to Penn Station on campus. Is it the same company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 More than likely it is Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I might be inclined to order something from Felt and Chenile if it didn't have a 1990s site setup. Cant find anything Akron on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just call them LZIP. They will walk you through what you are looking for and send you a proof via email before you make your final order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZip0510 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's incredibly sad that we need to do this. The options at the team shop and bookstore are embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yeah, Arlington and Wadsworth Walmarts sometimes have better selection (and cheaper prices) than the teamshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K92 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just an update for you guys that are interested:I hit up Dillard's post-holiday sales and picked up some shirts that were on clearance to be embroidered. They called today to tell me they were finished. I thought I would let you see how they turned out.The price has been raised to $10 per design up from $7. Still quite affordable. I thought they turned out great. I need a XXXLT shirt because I am 6'3" with a 30" inseam. All torso and no legs, so it is very difficult for me to find anything in the bookstore that fits. This is the perfect service for me. If you are interested, here is the information you need: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Looks like they did a really nice job, K92 I especially like the gold shirt with the white Z logo.Sincerely,Ivan Drago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Looks nice Keener! I'm going to get some customized gear from them ASAP! Here's a question for everyone: They have services where they can make things for Akron-specific groups. Would anyone be interested in getting customized ZipsNation stuff? Perhaps with a created Zipseque Logo by them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
