Anyone know if/where you might be able to acquire the warm up shirts they are sporting now with "The UMass Way" on them?

Also, the adidas ones with "UMass Basketball" are really cool too. I haven't seen them for sale anywhere, but I've seen people wearing them.

Think I saw a post on twitter that they're "looking into" getting them in the store.

you should be able to pick them up in three weeks just in time for it to mean nothing when they have a new slogan on new warmups next season

I have sent a couple of email to the bookstore. Apparently they are looking in to it and even though NC State is already selling them on their website, we have to wait to see if we get some sort of approval. Par for the course for the shitty excuse we have for a bookstore really.

This is from the Tourney selection thread. The last two pages of the thread in the link below.

Entire Mercer section is wearing "The Mercer Way" shirts. I've seen almost every other Adidas school's fans have them.

The t-shirt UMass IS selling isn't very good. The CBS Store has very nice "Time to Dance" t-shirts for other teams. They also sell Tennessee's & Louisville's grey jerseys AND shorts among other replica jerseys and shorts.

I don't understand what the issue is with our merchandising.

Let's flood the bookstore with emails and calls then. Put a little pressure on them and maybe they will get off their asses and make something actually happen. Maybe they are in a wait and see pattern now and don't want to put the full effort in to it right now. Call, email......let's get these shirts!!! And with every phone call and email, mention that every other Adidas team in the tournament has sold the shirts to THEIR fans.....why not us???

If anyone wants one (or 9) of the chairs the guys were sitting on you can win them in the UMass auction! 9 available, starting bids at 150...

I'm assuming Jason Yellin is too busy prepping for Sunday to bid these chair auctions up?

Screw the chairs. I still want a "The Umass Way" shirt!

No one wants one of the NCAA chairs we sat on vs Tennessee?? Started with 9, still have 9:

Also, I know the season is over but did anyone ever hear anything further about the "UMass Way" shirts? Would still like to get one. Considering Mercer fans and band had Mercer way shirts, we should be able to get them for us....

SEND EMAILS AND CALLS TO THE BOOKSTORE!!! If nobody tells them we want them, we aren't going to get them. They are probably happy that the season is over so they don't have to do any work getting those shirts available for the general public.

We're down to 8. But I wonder if this is a bit of a scam. Parse the wording very carefully:

"These are the same 2014 NCAA Official Team Bench chairs as used by the players during the Men's Division I Basketball Championships"

I would feel more comfortable if they said, "These are the same 2014 NCAA Official Team Bench chairs that were used by the UMass players during the Men's Division I Basketball Championships"

I don't know about you guys who were there, but did you see them remove the "Mercer" chairs after the Duke-Mercer upset? Me neither. I'm thinking these are "authentic" replicas of what were used, but maybe I'm just cynical.

Board thoughts?

They can get THESE flipping shirts made and for sale but they can't get the ones that the fans actually want made and put on sale???? Good Jesus Christ!!

Mike... Does it really matter if it's a "game used" chair by UMass? Just tell everyone it is! I don't think anyone is going to call you in it
