Granted there were GameDay shirts in bookstore and at the Outpost two weeks ago but where are diecast replicas of the JMU race car that ran in Richmond two months ago? How about replica purple helmets? We'll have a another new helmet before someone is selling the white helmets.

There has been replica purple helmets being sold in the first floor JMU store in bridgeforth. I bought one at homecoming. They've been selling quick.

RE: What does Our Sports Marketing Department Do?
On a related topic- you know the Be the Change JMU commercial with the students and professors that runs during JMU games on Comcast etc.? I'm surprised the marketing folks didn't pay to run that during GameDay- usually Comcast is a regional audience- I think some of the commercials for ESPN are regional but some are probably national- seemed like the perfect spot for JMU to get the word out nationally.

Agree with you NJDuke.

But with respect to the initial post, I would say that Sports Marketing does an amazing job.

They've had that same be the change commercial for what feels like a decade. It's long overdue to be replaced.
I watch a lot of CAA and local teams and many of them have a new commercial every year, or two years at the longest

RE: What does Our Sports Marketing Department Do?
What's even more boggling to me is the amazing SMAD that JMU has at its disposal. Why the school does not integrate the marketing and media needs into the curriculum is beyond my understanding. A perfect example is production of the animation videos for the pre-game. SMAD students totally have the knowledge, skills and ability to produce similar quality content that can be showcased weekly in the fall. It seems like great academic/marketing opportunities are lost somehow. Maybe there's some kind of legal reason for it.

OP i'm not sure you understand the job of the sports marketing department employees. The stuff in the bookstore isn't controlled by the university to the extend that people think it is.

I also found out recently about the now soldout helmets at the bookstore. Bookstore said they were not sure if they would order more. If anyone has more info., please post.
The owner of the JMU racecar is working on the diecast. I've heard a car should be available in January.

Wait. There is a store in bridgeforth selling stuff that would typically be sold in the bookstore?

RE: What does Our Sports Marketing Department Do?
Does anyone know if the bookstore still has a supply of purple mini chrome helmets? I know they had them earlier this year but was wondering if they have sold out. If not, I definitely want to grab one when I'm up there for the playoff game. Anyone on campus that confirm?

Spoke to a bookstore employee who said they are not sure if the bookstore will be getting anymore chrome helmets. They do have the gold ones though. As mentioned earlier, scorehere.com has them. They were on backorder but rec'd 12 last week.
Bookstore is partnered with Follet out of Chicago who decides what JMU sales in their bookstore.

I got one from the bookstore at the first home game, BUT seeing these for sale here reminds me that I know a few JMU fans that would love one for Xmas.

Damn, nice! So you were the one that bought all the purple helmets 03-wink! Thanks for heads up on account. I think 12/11 is next shipment. Hopefully they get the other two.

Purple helmet showed up today. Must say it looks very nice!

Now Schutt needs to produce the while and matte purple versions to round out the collection.
