You can buy UAB merchandise at lots of places other than the UAB Bookstore or Snoozy's. I think what you guys are seeing is a lack of demand. I'm a UAB fan but when shirts cost $50+ I'm not going to have a wardrobe full of them
Unfortunately I think Brad probably fell victim to what doomed Snoozy's. The real money was in the books, and without that the extra stuff isn't a viable business
I shopped at MTMT this Christmas season but I saw several of their higher priced items (Wooly Threads, etc) for sale at a kiosk in the Galleria. They also had conference title and bowl champ t-shirts. Prices were the same.
Maybe we need a pinned thread at some point about where folks sight Blazer gear for sale.
This was certainly better than nothing, but it still is small potatoes in the merchandising business.
Likewise a couple of shirts at Academy - small potatoes. Even though they can't seem to keep that many in stock at the one at Trussville.
