2024 49er Football Week 1 - Game #1 vs JMU 8/31 8PM ESPNU

So my wife ordered 2 gold shirts from one campus. They were supposed to be at my house yesterday. The USPS failed to deliver as they were supposed to do. I will not wear gold for the game unless I find a cheap alternative.

The one campus people should offer expedited shipping for these rush items. It’s not their fault the government let me down but an alternative to USPS would be great and worth it.

Gold shirts are not easy to find with our logo. Any suggestions?

You might try the Walmart near campus. They usually restock every year at this time. I have bought gold T-shirts there at reasonable prices.

The thing about this gold rush is that it was announced way too late and gold shirts were not available soon enough. It’s a failed promotion in my opinion. Oh, standard operating procedure, I heard. Sheesh! :roll_eyes:

Sorry to hear yours may not arrive in time. The two we ordered got here on Monday

Yea hopefully it will show up, mine arrived Tuesday.

How shortsighted is it that you run a color promotion and the gear link on your website takes you the B&N Fanatics site that only has gold sweatshirts or hats and no T Shirts??? Cuz everyone needs a sweatshirt in Charlotte in August. Or I could just wear the gold watch I guess. Not local but would have gladly ordered up a Gold Jersey or T shirt for program support. Sad state of affairs and a 3 win season looks like what we have to look forward to!

Just show up to the game with what you own. I’m going to be wearing an old logo gold shirt buried in the back of my closet.

To add insult to injury, I received an EM from Fanatics about 2 minutes after my post reminding of the ā€œGold Outā€ and the only gold SS shirt was a women’s polo. But there was a snazzy tie clip! Not local, so green and TV it will be.

Whatever else is going on, this is going to look cool as hell Saturday night:

I went to the bookstore today to see what they had. I am normally frustrated and disappointed when I go there but today they surprised me… and not in a good way. I totally agree with you in regard to the shortsightedness. For what it’s worth, when I mentioned the fact that sweatshirts are essentially useless for a ā€œgold rushā€ game in August the casher mentioned that the gold t-shirt jerseys would be on the floor tomorrow for sale… better late than never?

Is there a picture of the gold t-shirt jersey anywhere? That sounds like something I would be interested in and it also makes sense so it can’t be real.

The Normbulance will be back in our typical spot, which is on the sidewalk outside of gate 2. The marching band and the team walk is going by us this year, that is a change from the last few years.

As always all are welcome to come. The delta sigs are beside us because I am good friends with them, but our tailgate is not and never has been specific to any greek organization. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us. We will have some food and a giant community beer cooler. All we ask is if you drink out of the beer cooler chip in a few. I will be setting up at 3.

If I don’t know you, no big deal, come say hello. I am the only one in a kilt.

Are you flapping in the wind under that kilt?

Week 1 captains! Does this give any hint on if anyone is out? I assumed Prince Bemah would be a captain…

I only wear it proper at certain events - tailgate doesn’t count :slight_smile:
