Why is It impossible to find and purchase a PC jersey?? You can buy hockey jerseys... But not basketball?? Makes no sense. I can buy a Quinnipiac basketball jersey for crying out loud. Any ideas?

Very slim pickings of BB gear-I'd love to have some real stuff be marketed. I tire of the hoodies etc.

This is a question/request that's been popping up for years, with folks repeatedly concluding that the request needs to be directed to Bob Driscoll. To my knowledge, no one has posed that question of Bob and reported back on either of the Boards Those with jerseys are for the most part wearing the real thing - having purchased the gear on the Auction site. friars.cstvauctions.com/gallery.cfm |

Totally outrageous that this is still an issue. They have done a wonderful job with the big stuff, a great coach, a renovated and clean game facility, working on new practice facility, better game experience, etc..They even have attractive gear (hoodies, tshirts, hats etc) how the heck can't they have and market several jerseys? It's insane. My first thought reading this was email Driscoll or some decision maker up there but apparently that has had no affect? He's probably hardly heard from anyone and maybe he just doesn't get it, but it flies in the face with all they've done to modernize and build the brand. Makes no sense really. Those who are closer to the program and have face time with the people who run the program should really bring it up, even if you don't plan to buy one yourself, its all part of the brand and the product. |

Are they exact replicas (no)? Can you buy more authentic looking jerseys elsewhere (sure)? Are they charging a premium (yes)? Do they include the Nike swoosh (no, because that licensed apparel would apparently fall within the Bookstore's domain)?
That line of thinking out of the way, this is an identifiable opportunity to support a NIL campaign established for each of our players. I can justify why these items bearing the last names of current players (vs. knock-offs which aren't tied to NIL) should be the logical choice for Friar fans. Why not allow the player themselves to benefit from the proceeds?
Whether it's through these jerseys and/or other promotions, I hope that the Collective comes up with offerings that create sufficient demand for the player specific coffers to accumulate meaningful amounts.
