w00t Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Anybody have any ideas for how we can get our hands on some #*@( soccer jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndzeigler Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I stopped by the bookstore and talked to them about it today. They are selling short sleeve replica jerseys with number 6 or 10 but they don't have them in stock yet and are just taking names. They cost 55 bucks and don't have anything on the back. I can get long sleeve replica jerseys made for ~35 bucks at a screen printing place that does stuff for campus but I don't know if that would create any copyright issues or whatever. Anybody have any ideas for how we can get our hands on some #*@( soccer jerseys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Probably. My understanding is that if someone is making it for you, and you pay them, then it will be an issue. If you make it yourself, no problem. I don't know if somebody makes it and then gifts it to you if that is a problem. Of course, if it is a "Gift", then they are probably a "Friend" and you would give them something for their birthday, christmas, or maybe just because it is the 2nd Thursday of the month?

yazan07 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I ordered one of the ones from the bookstore Monday, it's supposed to come in on Friday. For the money I spent on it, I'll be really mad if it's garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00t Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 The bookstore thing is news to me... which bookstore would that be? I'll definitely give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Here is an exchange that I had concerning this through "Ask the AD" a few months ago... My Question/comment: Dear Tom, I'm very interested when the Akron Athletics Department is going to either offer some better apparel options themselves or work a deal with Barnes & Noble to do so. The apparel options currently available are not very good. For example, it would be awesome to show my pride in our nationally ranked Men's Soccer team. An Akron Soccer polo that I could wear to work on casual day would be outstanding. A replica soccer jersey would also be a nice choice. How about some apparel that has "The University of Akron" and "Fear the Roo" both on it. I'm very fortunate to have an Akron Soccer Scarf because I bought a season ticket last year. But, I think it's time to offer Soccer scarves in the team shop for anyone to buy. The university could make a good profit, and everyone who wants to do so, can show their pride in our awesome team. Thanks as always for your attention. AD Response: Thanks for the note and it's good to hear from you. You raise a great point about our merchandise options at this point, but I've copied Bryan Huettmann, our licensing director who I think will have some good news for you and our other fans who want Zips Merchandise. Thanks again for your support and Go Zips! Tom Bryan Huettmann's response: I am pleased to inform you that Barnes & Noble Bookstores is planning on offering new soccer items for the upcoming season including a jersey, various apparel and a scarf. They will have a visible presence at all home soccer matches, in the student union and football game day at the stadium. Please feel free to contact me about anything. Your opinion is appreciated. Go Zips! Bryan Huettmann InfoCision Stadium Manager Director of Licensing The University of Akron Department of Athletics 373 Carroll Street, Suite 75 Akron, OH 44325-5201 O: (330) 972-2639 Not sure what was meant by "a scarf", but it appears that only season ticket holders will have access to them once again this season. In my opinion, that might be ok to start the season, but when we show up in the NCAA playoffs, and especially at the College Cup, all Zips' Soccer fans who want one should have a scarf. Go Zips!

jem101 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I stopped into the B&N bookstore today. It's definitely official. They are ordering soccer jerseys for those who are interested.

Captain Kangaroo Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 One beaten dead horse down... 1,345 to go. Maybe with the Lot 9 discussion closed, we're down to 1,344? That's making MAJOR headway! Come on KD... sign another point guard and take us down to 1,343!! If GP1 dropped some of his rants, I think we might get the number down to single-digits?

Z.I.P. Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 For anyone from out of town, wanting the jersey (hint to L.A. Zip, Kangaroo Craig, etc.), just give a call to Nicole at the UA Bookstore, 330-972-6706, and she'll hook ya up! I hope to be wearing mine around the isles next week. Stylin'!

cms133@uakron.edu Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 My little brother and I bought ourselves jerseys today. They're pretty ballin'. I also picked up one of the white zips soccer balls perfect for team signatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I hope to be wearing mine this Friday after returning from LA. Ordered it before I left last Friday and was promised it would go out right away upon the bookstore receiving them. After all the noise we made about wanting these, I hope they sell out.

yazan07 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Wearing mine right now and it looks so good. Thanks UA! Are they Blue or White (not that it matters, just curious). They are very similar to the home jerseys; white with blue lettering outlined in gold. Also, they have the gold stripes running up the sides of the jersey, like the real ones.
