Some had already been discounted with red tags and is half of that discounted price. Lots of terrific merchandise and good size selections still in stock including football and basketball jerseys. I believe the discounts bring the white and red versions of the football jerseys down to about $30.00; the black version down to around $50.00 (that suggests what's in demand!).

All this begs the question, how long can the campus store and places such as Rally House continue selling at the full retail price? Not long I suspect so more deals should be coming soon.

At checkout, I asked when they expect the "new" branded merchandise to arrive and was told mid-July and that they anticipate being well stocked before football season begins. I hope that's true but with continuing supply chain disruptions one has to wonder how fast Jordan/Nike can produce anything truly unique this fall.

That's a bummer...those are the best hats I've found for me on the golf course with UC branding.

Yep, I had picked out a couple of the hats and a sales clerk came over to say those weren't included. That's fine but put a sign up saying "UA hats excluded from sale". It's their decision but when they advertise ALL Under Armour they should list exclusions. Still, it's a great shopping experience there, not just for UA but other brands. I think they're way ahead of the Campus Bookstore right now in terms of selection.

Yeah, they have a ton of great shirts on their online marketplace too. Way better than just 50 of the standard "Bearcats" or "Cincinnati" shirts in various colors that the UC Bookstore has...but that has always been the case.

Great info!
Can anyone provide updates on selection or prices at Dubois or the bookstore or Rallycats? I also will check on-line. I am into the unique T’s out polos.

I'll be on campus Monday so I'll check out the bookstore and provide an update.

Also, maybe it was announced and I missed it but if you navigate to gobearcats.com and click on the link "Shop" then "Official Fan Store" it now links to Rally House. I think it was previously a site run by Fanatics. This would seem to be a strong partnership for UC as Rally House now has retail stores throughout the metro and in Dayton. On the plus side, Rally House has a big selection of UC gear prominently displayed. My only criticism is that prices are often higher than Dubois and markdowns are rare.

Dubois looks to have blown through most of their UA apparel based on their online marketplace, but there are still a few options on there.

Thanks guys!

I was on campus this morning and all the UA product in the Bookstore is on sale 25% off, including a large selection of hats. I was told by an employee that as the Nike/Jordan product continues to arrive there will be further reductions in UA prices. Of course the flip side of that is often reduced size selections at clearance pricing.

There are polos, tees, shorts, sweatshirts, etc., but to me a quality hat is a quality hat and the UA logo is on a side panel and less conspicuous than on the clothing, FWIW.

Only 39 shopping days left until the opener as a Big 12 team.

Really hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised and it isn't just a solid black jersey with no accents, white numbers, and red bordering around the text.

Was re-watching UC beating IU on the road in 2021, and I really liked those uni’s.

Can't really screw up that color combo and the CPaw unless you try to do too much. They definitely didn't try to do too much. I'd like to get a better look outside the video, but they look clean and really good from what I can see.

They remind me a lot of my favorite Adidas jerseys. Cincinnati in white across the chest, red around the neck (with a CPaw in the middle instead of the ADIDAS logo). Doesn't have the red lines across the shoulder but has red trim on the arms instead. Really like them.

I love 'em! Mostly black with red and white highlights. We're the Ravens or Raiders of the B16. I couldn't stand the arrow-thingy pattern that went down the side/front of the pants over the past several years.

i don't know. i'll wait until the white on white is unveiled

Nooooo! 51-24

The pregame partying was pretty awesome too. Post-game, not so much.

I don't see a whole heck of a lot of difference.

Am I missing something? Other than a clear picture of them?

No more triangles/ribbons, for one. That's a big positive change for me.

My favorite difference is the XII on the front of the right shoulder.
