It's most likely the thought process was, "if they, the gold room dwellers, had money to buy clothing suitable for the Patriots, they would first spend it on access to the Green Room."
News Tracking Official Adidas / Other Gear

The Mason contract with Game One was signed last month. Having these stores pop up rather quickly is definitely a step in the right direction. Kind of bad timing from a basketball standpoint being smack dab in the middle of their season, but hopefully these stores are a sign of things to come. Softball just opened a store and it has much more adidas gear offered than the others.
Agree it's a step in the right direction. For the Patriot Club gear, why did it need to be available for such a short period of time? And why not make everyone who donated to the Patriot Club or at least those at Gold room level donation aware?
The only thing I can think of is that they were rushing to get the orders in so that the items can be delivered in time for the A10 tournament? No idea on why it didn't make it to the gold room.
I have worked with Game One/The Graphic Edge (Game One acquired The Graphic Edge about 5 years ago) for over 15 years and have probably done over 75 orders with them. In my experience, they offer the best prices and have very quick turnaround on orders. Obviously I deal with a different rep here in the midwest than Mason will, but I think this is going to be a good thing for fans. When I helped with the fan order two years through the old rep at Big Athletics, it was a lot harder and took a lot longer than it needed to. I was not impressed.
I'm tempted to contact Mason to see if we could get something going with a Patriot Pressure design, but the timing of it would be terrible. We would get the items right as the season ends.
Humble request: If you do something with Patriot Pressure, please make an option that has no logo on it so all of us can order something.
It's too late to order the Patriot Club merch isn't it.
My eyes, my eyes, I can't see now...
For the record, I still hate the new logo. (yes, I acknowledge that it is, in fact, better than all other horrible athletic logos we have had. But still horrible.)
However, I might consider buying some merch for the A10 tournament, IF it is yellow-green-yellow on green background. AND it is on a green shirt or jacket.

Yeah, I've got way too much grey stuff.
I would buy something with the new logo if I liked the product. Unfortunately, I didn't see any Patriot Club item I liked.
