Got this decal for my car (this is not my car), not sure if this has been posted... I may cut off the Net Worthy part since it's a big big for my back window!

Think I'm gonna get this for my backboard; should fit nicely within the square.

I saw an awesome one at a store in the Love Field airport when I was flying out of Dallas but didn't buy it because I'd be able to find it cheaper online. Bad decision.

Me too! Haven't seen it since.

what does that look like? i'd be interested in purchasing 4 of them.

Basically the front cover of the courant laminated to wood. Believe they advertised on courant site way back when. The 1999 and 2004 ones are much nicer. The 2011 one i have is from here an isn't as well done:

Some of those non-name brand shirts are pretty nice. My only complaint is that those shirts tend to shrink mightily after one wash.

UCFBfan · Apr 14, 2014

I'm convinced that all these sites, minus Sports Authority, Target, big name stores, all pull from the same warehouse. The Co-Ops site even says it's powered by Fanatics. I'm a tall guy and always struggle finding longer sleeved hoodies, etc. Around X-mas I always start looking for something to get (or have the wife give me) and every site is always magically out of the same sizes of EVERY item. From fanatics to the co-op, to obscure sites...they all pull from the same site. It sucks. I really wanted the "Coming to Storrs" shirt from 2011 but couldn't find it ANYWHERE in XXL. If anyone ever comes across that shirt in your searches let me know

Yeah that's always a potential concern for those shirts. FWIW, this one, which is the only non-official one I've bought, specifies that it is a Gildan Ultra Cotton (100%) shirt, which in my experience are good shirts:

I am more concerned that a few of the official shirts that I have ordered from Fanatics and Sports Authority do not specify whether they are 100% cotton or not. Hoping that they are not 50/50 blends when they show up--otherwise they are going back.

Way to go, Huskies.

My guess is they forgot the coma.

Must've been in a coma when they forgot the comma.

Just saw Nike released some UConn-themed Kobe shows. A bit flashy for my tastes, but hey... kind of crazy.

Never buying a Gilden again, had a nice one with the previous Jonathan on it. After one wash it was regulated to a workout/yard-work shirt. I didn't check the material on it, so maybe it was a mixture. If you are saying that one is good, I might pick it up as I do like the design on it.

Well I haven't received the shirt yet so I can't say for sure, but I am a t-shirt snob and Gildan 100% cotton shirts have been among the better ones I've gotten in recent years. Anvil or Hane's Beefy-Ts used to be my favorites, but I don't see those much if at all any more.

Did anyone ever find a newspaper plaque? I have tried a few google searches to no avail.

And SI is not doing anything commemorative-wise? That is insane!!

They're trying to get out of that business. Besides, tough to do one when you have little to work with (in the past they just compiled a lot of the stuff they'd had written for the team that won during the year, doubt they had much on UConn this year).

I'm either plainly missing it or just don't know, but any idea from anyone if these are intended for a release to the public?

I don't believe so. They were custom made for Geno, which is why you can see his name on the design. I would love to get my hands on a pair as well.

As an aside, pretty funny how you can clearly see that it spells "UCON" instead of "UCONN" on the shoe on the right.

Love under armour, this is on amazon. However, doesn't nike have exclusive rights? Are there any other Dri-fit type shirts out there ?

Here's what cbs has. Haven't been to the co-op since they won but I'm guessing they have a number of those items
