Iâm assuming this is where Healy and Kuechlyâs attire came from during the Duke/College Gameday weekend

For anyone still keeping countâŚDickâs has 1 Charlotte item online.
However, they have 138 App items, 116 ECU items, 28 UAB, 39 ODU, 35 UNCW, 71 Marshall.
These are just the first 6 schools I thought to check. Iâm sure there are many more peer schools also with a much larger selection.

clt sees 32 items online at dickâs
Not trying to be a cheapskate, but itâs not only easier to find other schoolsâ gear, but itâs also easier to find it at reasonable prices. We might see more 9ers gear out in the community if a damn t-shirt didnât cost a hundred bucks. Quality is great, but when it comes to getting your logo recognized, quantity isnât bad either.
I like t-shirts with a small logo embroidered on the left chest as opposed to a 10" logo in the middle of the shirt. I would like to see a khaki colored hat with a green logo too.

WHOA BILLY! CALM IT DOWN!
Next youâll ask for a 500 foot yacht with a helicopter pad.
Is this problem tied to the bookstore or our AD? It canât be the fans, no way UNCW has more of an actual demand than our fanbase/alumni. My wife made a comment to me she couldnât find anything with Charlotte stuff on it as an easy Christmas gift. I think she meant a nice polo specifically, but I immediately thought of this thread and our limited options.
Enjoy:
My opinion, even Judy hated this arrangement, but couldnât do anything about it. The previous administration didnât care enough to fix it and B&N doesnât give a shit about our merch issues outside of wanting it as icing for their cake, because their primary goal is to sell overpriced books.
They care just enough about controlling our merch to demand it as part of the deal but not enough to sell it past the bookstore door.
Sometimes Normmm has trouble separating cltâs sarcasm with truth. If true, then perhaps this should fall under the name confusion log. When I filter Fan shop>Shop by school>Charlotte 49ers, all I get in the results is a hat.
clt just searched for Charlotte 49ers at the top
As long as we make excuses for the AD, make the bookstore the boogeyman, this wonât change. Somewhere between low demand because of a decade of poor performance, poor and overpriced offerings compared to our peer institutions, and a lack of pushing our gear out is where the truth lies.
If there was quality gear available at the prices other schools gear costs, it would sell.

Ok, then yeah, this probably falls under name confusion because only one item pulls up when you search under âFan shopâ. I canât prove it, but my guess is some script in the background uses UNC-Charlotte.
Agreed. Frate makes some nice designs and quality shirts. I reached out to him a while back and he just printed one of these larger logos as a smaller chest logo for me. Never hurts to ask
They have some hoodies too, but wasnât a fan
Itâs unfortunate they seem to only offer our gear in seasonal styles our normal weather doesnât support. I struggle to find days cold enough for my long sleeve t-shirt, much less a beanie and a sweat shirt.
