U Akron shot glasses

[Lil Thriller]

Hello everyone. My name is Bill and I am a Sophomore at the University of Akron. For my Entrepreneurship class I was given the task to start a business. I decided to sell UA shot glasses. I currently have three different choices; and they are... ZIP ONE DOWN, SHOOT THE ROO (both of these are available in both blue and gold font) and lastly K S Ucks. with the K S U in blue and the cks in gold. I am selling them for the very competitive rate of 1 for $5 and 2 for $9. They WILL be available at the game VS. K S U this Sat. at the Rubber Bowl. Any questions feel free to email me at wgd1@uakron.edu

At the bowl or tailgate city?

shot glasses eh?hmm... limited market, unless you count the novelty aspect.I guess there was a nice product niche though eh? Can't get shot glasses at the bookstore. LOL

They should be beer mugs. We football fans aren't sophisticated enough for shots.Ok, well I am speaking for myself.

I dont claim to know much, but can you sell the glasses without permission from the universities? Especially Can't State...?

Since it's for a class, isn't it considered "fair use"?

[Lil Thriller]

I will be around the parking lots at the Rubber Bowl. I'm not exactly sure where tailgate city is... as far as it being legal, I think it would be okay since it's for a class. I don't need Can't's permission because I'm using anything that's licensed by them. But just to cover myself with the selling of them I'll probably just ask for "donations" of 1 for $5 2 for $9.

Great idea! I collect shot glasses, and was at the bookstore over labor day while in OH for the Patriot Bowl. I was disappointed to see that they still only have the clear glass with the university logo available. While very nice, it wouldn't show up well in my shotglass case. Wish I weren't so far away, I would buy one for sure. Good luck with your enterprise. How about a Fear The Roo?

Hey!!!!!!!!! I'm in the same class with the guy selling these. Everything about the shot glasses is legal because he's not using anything that is trademarked.

"Fear the Roo" is trademarked by the university.

I did see this on the Can't state web page..."K.e.n.t State University, K.e.n.t. State and K.S.U. are registered trademarks and may not be used without permission. ©Copyright 2007 K.e.n.t State University"I would just hate to see anyone catch some crap over a class project, thats all.

[bobbyake]

I think K S Ucks is fair game unless the UA already has that trademarked.

OK, I'll give them most of that, but how could they get K.S.U.? Kansas State? Hello?

So Bill, how did the sales go today? Good, I hope. If you decide to expand the line, I would be interested in a Wagon Wheel keychain or fridge magnet

Beware washing the shot glasses. The letters peel off as soon as they get wet.

This is too funny. Wouldn't a better alternative be to have Georgia-Pacific print up UofA Dixie cups in the shape of a shot glass so they could be thrown away after one use?

It has come to my attention that some of the letters are coming off in the dishwasher. I apologize for this. I was informed by the business that made the letters that they would be fine. I am not out to take advantage of any of you or to sell a cheap product. If you had any issues with letters falling off, please bring me the defected glass, and I will replace it! thanks again. Also, any new ideas you would like to see on a shot glass? let me know!!
