Even a DIII or high school bookstore would be open or something would be set up at the game. It's truly unbelievable how sad and embarrassing this is.

The bookstore tent at the game being totally empty is probably because they were closed. They probably had a bag or small box of stuff from last year that they threw on a table. There may have been two or three items on the table.

I have never understood why NIU makes it so difficult to get NIU branded merchandise. It has been that way for years and NIU continues to have one of the worst merchandise offerings in the market. Not only is it difficult to get NIU items, the offering is limited and boring.

College apparel sites likes Homefield, 19 Nine, etc. offer lots of cool items for just about every MAC school except NIU and they also stock items for other state schools like SIU, Illinois State, UIC, etc. NIU has zero presence on any of these sites or really anywhere. The school should be actively pushing merchandise all year round. This just seems like another area where NIU is out of touch and completely missing the mark.

Uh, so true. Everything we have available now is the most basic of basic. Even Walmart has more originality than what we can offer.

I know this is a dead horse. Literally the deadest of horses. But I miss the VCB. It wasn't the best and it was expensive. At best it was overpriced Adidas Nebraska rejects, but it's better than the plain garbage we have now.

I've looked at things on that vintage site where they have stuff with the old NIU Huskie logo but I can't determine the quality of their merchandise. The images they use don't look like that great of quality but they could just be using stock photos that are interchangeable with other schools logos.

I have the hoodie sweat with black on sleeves and I really like it.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
