Yesterday @tblack33 and myself had some conversations with people at Mason and the adidas rep that works with George Mason Athletics (the bookstore side of things is a totally different thing that doesn't involve him). While I think our concerns with the bookstore and fanatics will take some time and a lot of red tape, one thing we can do to address the situation now is a flash store. Basically, we would select some items that we would want to offer, they would open up a store that would run live for a week or so, and then after a few weeks we would receive the gear. It's not the best solution, but it's what we got for now.
Here's what we need to know - what items are you looking for? Obviously we can't offer every single item we've seen, but we can pick a bunch to include on the order. I mentioned the black 1/4 zip pullover the coaches wear just because I know some of you brought that up in the past. @tblack33 mentioned polo shirts. We would like to include maybe some "Rock With Us" shirts similar to styles that other adidas teams have had with their team specific motto.
If you are interested, here's what we need:
1) take a look at @BBride photos ( link https://dmvsportsshots.blogspot.com/2021/ ) from practices or games or pics from the Mason social media accounts and post pics here on the specific item that you would like to have offered. We want to include the actual designs our players or coaches are wearing and that's the easiest way to do it.
2) Another option is to go on Fanatics and look at some of the offerings from other big adidas schools (Kansas, Louisville, Indiana, Miami) and find something that you like and that you would like to see a Mason version of.
Again, we won't be able to offer and please everyone, but it will give us a good idea of what people are looking for and what we can get available at the flash store.
Thanks!
