Hey guys, good news! I just came from the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort, NCAA Championship home of the Akron Zips. I managed to confiscate materiel from several Akron players, and they will be showing up for sale on the webs very shortly. Does anyone know how much I can get for a lovely mahogany NCAA Champions trophy? Just wondering.

;) When anyone gets the info on championship merchandise, it will be posted on www.zipsnation.org, I am quite sure. I will recommend to Caleb that there be a title winners scarf.

edit: Thank you Akronnnnnn... You JUST beat me to it, by one minute.

A t-shirt? That's it? To be honest, I was kinda hoping a little more. It's december, at least a sweat shirt? Seriously, national championship means put a special champion logo on pretty much everything and watch it all sell. Not even just by students, alumni and faculty will be buying this stuff, UofA probably has soccer fans scattered who would buy stuff if it was properly marketed. Seriously, the program has been great for years and last year was probably a better season than this year, we must have national fans? If we don't, marketing nationally and actually internationally. If the program can stay strong for another couple years (it will) then, well actually all I am saying is I wish they had more variety than a t-shirt, in Ohio, in December.

The bookstore folks are working with Adidas for additional championship items. The first shipment of shirts is only 144 shirts...more on the way, but you will have to wait. Preorders will be filled first.

Made order from Bookstore on Tuesday for L and XL shirts. They were available and are on their way to Hawai'i nei. Look for Z.I.P. in his on ESPN next week @ Diamond Head Classic basketball tournament. He's getting plenny exposure on the network lately. B)

That is a cool idea.

Who has hard media copy of this season? the College Cup? goal highlights? whatever.

I want to retain as much as possible.

Agreed. It needs to be marketed the way Sports Illustrated markets their magazine - using a World Series or Super Bowl champion -- everything from a bound book of team highlights and DVD video to championship caps, jackets, wristbands, earrings, seat cushions and ear muffs. No ear muffs for me, please, but I would like a championship license plate holder and a window decal. Please, Mr Wistrcill. :D

Anybody still on backorder? I got my shirts today. Shipping took three days to get from Akron to Indiana, then two from IN to HI. I like it -- the gold stands out very nicely.

I wonder if they will update the jersey's next season with a cool championship patch (i'm sure the team will)...that's what i want.

When will players' names be placed on back of jersey? We would be the first collegiate soccer team to do so. What a statement THAT would make!

No worries; Ampaipitakwong has exited the program. :rofl:

More importantly, he has graduated.
