Class of 82 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 You might drop an e-mail to the AD's office to find out when or if the game-style jersey's you're looking for are or will be available to the public. They may know of a licensee that's making and selling them.Just so you know, somebody has to pony up the dough for the set-up fee, which for a high-end item like game jerseys can be pretty steep. Not a big deal if you're going to sell a million of them, but prohibitive if you can only sell a few hundred or even a couple thousand. It's quite possible the last licensee you got yours from lost his a** on Akron gear and quit offering them.Unfortunately, business is business. And Akron football simply isn't big business yet.

RowdyZip Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I got mine from the bookstore on exchange...it's screenprint and generic "1" (Bowser) but doesn't say anything where the name should be. It's just fine for me and was only $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had them very recently in the Zips team shop but now they do not offer either the football or the basketball ones.They may have them at the new team shops in the stadium...god I hope so, talk about dropping the ball.Thanks!
