Once we start winning more often you will see more stuff available. They're not going to make stuff if there's no demand for it. After a few successful seasons you'll see the gym bags, the chairs etc…

what i also mean by this thread is i go on other schools and college fan sites other school have so much cool stuff i do understand we wont have as much out there as lets say FSU but even troy has like gym bags and chairs etc FAU always has a few t-shirts and thats it. Who is in charge of putting out fan gear is it the school or company's like Nike and Adidas.

You mean GYM bags? lol

FSU has had a football team longer then we've been an actual school lol. We'll get there eventually, give them some time they're learning as they go

yea lol when spell checked it it must ha changed it and i never checked it lol……….I'm not saying we will have as much stuff as an FSU but i dint understand why troy has more stuff then us they haven't won much more then we have.

We had FAU chairs but they didn't sell well. Dexter LaMont in athletics is in charge of licensing.

I think we should put as much as our stuff out there as we can cant see how it will hurt if a few people in the school/comunity start to buy it others will see it and it can catch on.

its who ever comes forwward with the best agreement…bidding process usually…but its not the major players…its smaller companies (at our current level) who simply brand under liscensing agreement then resell…

Right and we'd all like to see a hundred FAU things, from shirts to bags to decals to watches, but they have to mass produce these things and have a reasonable expectation based upon customer requests that it will move once it hits the store. Hats, car flags and shirts are available now; next is likely banners, blankets, seat cushions; after that will be the more niche stuff. The availability of FAU gear has really rocketed in four years and if it continues the trajectory – especially if FAU beats someone like Texas – you'll see more and more. By the time you graduate, I think there will be more than enough stuff to make you happy.

Was at Town Center today, and dropped by lids to get my father in law a new Red Sox hat.

Didnt see a lot of FAU hats, but asked how they were selling.

Response ws that they had trouble actually keeping them in stock, and that people are asking for Visors and other type of apparel.

Good news!

P.S. If you want a Visor he said that LIDS website has some up for sale.

When I was last in that same LIDS, the guys were talking about moving the FAU hats up above the UF hats to give them the center stage on that Florida school rack. Don't know if they ended up doing it but yeah.

I don't think I mentioned this before but I talked with the campus bookstore and they said they ordered FAU tents and chairs for the upcoming football season. I've been pressing them to make the large vinyl decals that would go in a car's back windshield (like those white Gator heads but maybe as a blue Owl head)

The funny thing about Lids in Town Center is that the manager of that store is a poster on this board, WPierso3

You're in S.Fla so the fair weather fans down here will buy up all the Sox hats "Oh I've been a sox fan my whole life" meanwhile they couldn't name anyone on the team, I despise Boston and I know more about them then most of these people buying the hats

Yeah,

But I do have to give props to my Father In Law. He's a lifer Boston fan, Born and Raised in Mass. Hes been pulling and rooting for New England teams as long as Ive known him, Going on 13 years now. Bout the only local team Ive managed to convert him to is FAU. He sits with my wife and I at the games and is a big fan.

Lets hope the stuff keeps coming. Id love to get some FAU seat cusions for the game. Havent seen any of those exceptthe red freebie ones we got last year.
