I hate to be pessimistic, but I find it hard to believe it’ll still be there in a year. It isn’t there because there’s no demand for it. We have no national brand so unless the target audience is Niner grads traveling from CLT, I’m not sure who they think will be buying the gear.
I love it. It beats the alternative of having nothing in the airport. Maybe we get a Walmart fan out of it, one who says “hey, I’m in Charlotte, I need to buy a gift that says Charlotte”.
clt hears that Stanley visited the store this week and met norm
When I was a young college student in a pre 9-11 world you could go into Charlotte-Douglas in the middle of the night (24 hrs) and have a Cinnabon and coffee.
I’m assuming this store is on the post-security check side of the airport, so this is not likely to do well.
Would have been awesome to have somewhere nearby me where I could go buy Niner gear, but I’m not taking flights to buy Niner gear and when I’m in the airport to take a flight I will not be in a mood to shop for $50 t-shirts and $150 polos.
I like the effort, I just don’t think this is gonna work. Hope I’m wrong.
Pre 9-11 when my wife and I were poor we would go to the airport and get a drink and just people watch. Back when we had more time than money. Kind of a shame you can’t do things like that anymore.
But yeah, we would browse those stores sometimes and even though I was broke we bought some stuff on a couple of occasions.
I think the store will do fine. 704 shop has more gear than just 49ers stuff. We are only a part of their store.
Also, we have several student athletes and their parents from out of state that fly in and out of the airport all the time. Recruits and their families also.
I knew people that would go for a specific bar/restaurant. I can’t remember the name. Seems kind of crazy now.
clt bets it was chilis to go
I just visited the university bookstore today, and I saw a Tommy Bahama Polo shirt for $148.
After deciding not to buy it, I was still charged $5 for parking.
clt says that is a hawaiian shirt price, not polo
I’m looking for a new side panel to hang on my canopy with the new all-in C Charlotte logo. Unfortunately, I bought all my crap 6 months before they decided to change the logo in 2021.
I wasn’t able to find one at the campus bookstore and they had no idea when or if they were going to have any more in stock. Does anybody have a suggestion?
Can anyone help @MEGRNiner out?
Track suits look good if you are under the age of 23 and less than 12% body fat. Then outside of Saturday morning or gym… still may look kinda weird
- Over age 23
- Not skinny people
- Anyone not running track
- All of the above
Any suggestions on a good place to find kids Niner apparel? I’d like my three year old to have Niner stuff to wear to games. Not having much luck.
Have we had All-in C tent logo stuff yet? I have seen no evidence of this. My old C-pick tent topper is starting to rip and all the replacements are the same C-pick logos.
This was posted earlier in the thread: University of North Carolina - Charlotte — Vive La Fête - Online Apparel Store (vivelafete.com)
Looks like there might be some for that age range.
Good find!
