I heard the same. Mayer signed his release from the team today. He's finishing up the semester here at Akron before he transfers to UNCC in the fall.

I just received a reply from Mr. Huettmann. When ordering though Adidas, the bookstore has to order 300+ jerseys which is a risk if they don't sell. However, he is working with the bookstore to come up with a solution that will result in stocking Adidas jerseys, in short and long sleeve, both home and away in a variety of numbers. I didn't mention this to Mr. Huettmann, but if we were to plan a bulk order of jerseys, the bookstore/athletic department *might* work with us.

According to an email I received from the bookstore this morning, they now have long sleeve jerseys in stock.

Mr. Huettmann, you have mail! ---------------------------------------------------- Mr. Huettmann- For years now I've wanted to buy a men's soccer replica jersey made by Adidas, however the bookstore never has any in stock. All they ever sell is an off-brand one that is close, but not exactly similar to the jerseys the players wear. I understand that Adidas apparel will be more expensive for the bookstore, but there are many Akron soccer fans, including myself, who would pay a premium for an Adidas jersey. While we're on the topic of soccer jerseys, would it be possible for the bookstore to carry more variety, i.e. a better selection of numbers, both short and long sleeve and both home and away? Thanks.

I just received a reply from the bookstore manager. "They are here in stock and they are very close to what the team dresses on the home games. Unfortunately it is not Adidas. They are priced at $59.98 and are vented."

Does anyone know if the jerseys are Adidas? Long sleeve? Blue?
