From talking with the person in charge of the licensing at the school, every single one of those vendors is lying, just plain lazy, or both.
Iām going to print this out, make copies, and carry them around with me and hand them out to anyone who makes an excuse. Sometimes though itās the vendor/supplier, not necessarily the store. (Like Uncommon Scents- they want to carry stuff, but their vendors donāt have it as an option for them to stock)

A conversation I had with 49erAlumnus got me thinkingā¦what if I started a website that sold Charlotte merch. Legit, licensed stuffā¦same as footballfanatics or Value City or even the Santa hats at Dickās. If I do this the RIGHT wayā¦not shady/underhanded, could it work? [/QUOTE]
Talk to Alan, former Campus Sports owner, if you are serious. He used to post on here a few years ago, and Iām sure someone on here knows how to get in touch with him. He could give you specifics on what he ran into ordering stuff and āminimum ordersā. While he owned Campus Sports, he managed to get many items that 49er fans had yet to see (car magnets, golf balls, car flags, etc.), and some nicer t-shirts/sweatshirts at a better price than we were used to seeing.
Put me down for these when you get your store going:

[QUOTE=Sideshow;365101]I didnāt realize GT wasnāt popular in Atlanta. What schools do people in that city pay allegiance to? Georgia State?[/QUOTE]
U(sic)GA! Tech is popular in Ga. , yet U(Sic)Ga rules the roost is media just as UNCCH.
[QUOTE=X-49er;365118]If our bookstore or online store looked anything like this with their selection and pricing, you would hear about 1/4 of the griping from everybody:

No doubt the Georgia stuff probably far overshadows their gear in availability, but at least they have a good base. We donāt even have that. RIP Value City. :pout:[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I love shopping on the Gt storeās website. It is wonderful, especially cmopared to our Charlotteās crap online store. Atleast i can get what I want GT wise.
[QUOTE=Over40NINER;365124]But those bulldogs arenāt gay like those rams are. :shades:[/QUOTE]
I donāt no about that. UGAy is a nickname given to the Bulldogs by Tech folks!

I went to Uncommon Scents yesterday, Iām a masochist for even trying, but you never know.
4 niner items. Flag, overpriced tumblr, watch, sticker.
Compare that to our CUSA counterparts (ECU and Marshall) and it is laughable. Compare it to area FCS programs, WCU, App, Coastal, itās even more embarrassing.
Look, I donāt even expect as much stuff as Ole Miss in Charlotte, setting the bar low, but our merchandising, with respect to availability and quality, is pure garbage.
Didnāt you hear? The history books got rewritten. Some group with some name we canāt remember did very little to help anything.
