Boca Raton Bowl merchandise?
Has anyone come across merchandise for the game? I didn't see anything on the website when I looked yesterday and nothing at VCB yet.

Besides a t-shirt and sweatshirt, I think a majority of the merchandise will only be sold in Florida at the game.
Hopefully, its not and the website gets some stuff up there!

I will wait until after the game to get anything - if anything. Last thing I want to do is wear clothing of a bowl where we get beat. Why prolong the memory?
I learned my lesson awhile ago. I bought 2 T-shirts before the MACC game where Miami (O) beat us. They are great for cleaning my car now.

The quality of the merchandise at the Orange Bowl was awful. I didn't even want to buy anything. I was willing to splurge but the quality was so poor and they wanted high-end I didn't end up buying anything. They had better T-shirts at VCB the following year.

I'm not even going to tell you how many hundred$ I spent at the Orange Bowl. Good or bad stuff, we were a part of history and I wanted my piece of it. Turned out to be lots of pieces. Bought stuff at the game and hotel.
I also ordered stuff from the Orange Bowl. For some items, they sent me FSU stuff and also National Championship Game crap. I sent it back and got a prompt credit. Apparently, the NIU stuff was very popular and they ran out. Guess they thought I'd be happy with FSU and Alabama items. Nope!

I bought a ton of it, too, and the customer service was pretty crappy. I ordered a black sweatshirt which they happily took my money for and then later informed me they only had red left. Had the same thing for a couple of other items where I had to get something less than what I really wanted. Normally, I'd have told them to shove it, but there was that whole "once in a lifetime"-feel to it.
Staring at my half NIU/half FSU mini helmet on my desk right now. Glad I bought that, even though I keep the Florida St side turned away from view (as is right and proper).

I ordered the full-size helmet, and they sent me the Championship Game one. I sent it right back.

Hopefully the selection, quality, and service will be a lot better. Anyone going to the coach's luncheon? Is it worth it to splurge $60?

Marshall has a few shirts up on its website from the Boca bowl but more interestingly is their C-USA hat which unlike the ones NIU wore for the MAC has their logo on the front instead of the conference's logo. MU's are much nicer, IMO.

You guys are braver that I am. I wouldn't buy anything unless they won. A shirt from a lost bowl would just piss me off everytime I saw it.

I agree other than the orange bowl. However, I did buy a t-shirt from the Silicon Bowl before the game. I didn't put it on until after we won the game though.

Those a-holes never sold those shirts - which would have sold out. However, they did sell UNLV shirts, which was an AWAY game. Who makes these decisions?
