Hey everyone, new to the board, Owl Alumus who now lives in NC.

Does anyone know where you can purchase FAU Nike Coaches Polos? Nearly every other Nike FBS team has coaches polos available for retail. If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.

NCOwl04, welcome to the forum!

Sure others will chime in with specifics, but you can find what you are looking for on a number of sites.

Here we go again!  Another prime example of the lack of Nike FAU gear.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  FAU needs to make Nike apparel available to the general public!!!!!  Track suits, polo's, sweaters, coach style pullovers!  Whatever else you can imagine.  If they put a limited amount of these for sale at the bookstore or spirit shop I guaran-DAM-tee you they would sell out within a week or two.

Back to your question though.  At this point there is either not enough money or not enough "perceived" demand for higher end athletic gear.  I agree with you though (I wanted to get one for my dad who is an avid golfer).  Many schools do make these available through their websites or NCAA shops.  The best luck you would have finding an FAU Nike polo would be a used one at a campus surplus sale (Ewww) If they even have any.

The closest one's your going to find to the Nike style is here

Price wise they are a good deal but can't compare to the authentic Nike style.  The sooner we get an on campus stadium is when we'll be seeing more FAU gear available IMO.

Would be nice to have one for those hot early year games

See a trend here?  FAU & FIU are the only two D-1A programs in Florida who don't have a decent selection of polo's!  4 of the 5 schools are also Nike schools.

(Note to mods: I'm just using these links to prove a point not trying to solicit any sales to these sites)

all good

Where do you live in North Carolina?  Welcome to the forum and to the great state of NC!

I have two Nike polos…one in white and one in navy, the official Nike coaches polo. FAU sells them, I bought one at a game two seasons ago and the other at one of the scrimmages. They're around, you just have to look for em, and they're not cheap!

60-80$ right?  Put em in the bookstore.  The students parents from NY, NJ, and MASS wont think twice about shelling out the cash!!!!
