www.huskywear.com is going out of business and is offering 70% off everything. Great time to stock up on some gear for next season. Sale just started today so there is some good stuff still out there. Just grabbed over $200 worth of stuff for $70 including tax and shipping and figured i'd pass along the deal

*edit- now see it was already on the basketball board but i know not everyone checks it

Could be way off the mark (stuff happens!), but the Official Online Store of the University of Connecticut Alumni Association may be jettisoning a lot of merchandise emblazoned with "UConn", Peoples Express-like hoop logos, U-C interlocking hoop logos, the soon to be obsolete Huskies' dog logo, etc. On the other hand, maybe HuskyWear.com's truly going out of business and not simply being replaced by a Nike/university partnership capable of generating more revenue and consistent university branding. Time will tell ...

For those of you who wear yellow or red rain ponchos/gear to football games - less than $4 for a UConn navy blue poncho. I just stocked up on a bunch of gear. Thanks for the heads up.

Is there a reason you can't select a size for any of the replica men's bball shorts? Guessing it means they are sold out and the site is too antiquated to promptly remove items once they are sold out.

I guess if you want to play the semantics game, you are correct. It is the "final" clearance sale, and when you click on more details, it explains that this is their final sale and the site will be closing March 14..

Here is the email that I received yesterday:

For the entire month of February and the first two weeks of March www.HuskyWear.com will be running one final clearance sale that offers our customers one last chance to purchase Husky gear at unheard of prices. This final sale will be "all sales final" with no returns or exchanges, but at this discount, it would likely cost more to ship items back than to exchange or return them, and we will be shutting down the site on March 14th. All orders placed before January 31st will still be operating under the normal return policy of 30 days, but all orders placed using this coupon or during February and March beginning on February 1st are "final sales." If you are holding a gift certificate or a portion of one, we encourage you to use it during February as it will likely be the last chance to do so. They cannot be redeemed for cash.
To receive the 70% coupon, fill your cart with as many products as you wish and then enter the code70 in the box on the first page of the shopping cart when you check out. Enter it in the box that asks, "Got a coupon code? Enter it here" Your 70% discount will automatically be applied. This discount may not be combined with any other coupon and is not retroactive in any way for any reason. The final sale will end on March 14th at which point the site will no longer be accessible.
Our hope is to reorganize and re-open at a later date with a new inventory and fresh products, but we cannot be certain that this will happen. The recession and tough years since 2008 have taken their toll and while we love what we do and appreciate all of you have supported us through the years, the harsh reality is that we will have to close the site for now starting on March 14th while we explore our options. We are hopeful that we can re-open the site at a later date with a fresh inventory and new products.
The site still has some great products remaining now and if you consider that this sale gets you $100 worth of merchandise for just $30 plus shipping, it really is a final opportunity to stock up and find some great deals. So we encourage you to help us sell through our remaining inventory as March Madness is upon us and we thank you for the many years of support. So many of you we know by name and for all the kind notes you've written through the years. We will miss you the most.
So, to recap this final sale, to receive the 70% discount, fill your cart with as many products as you can find and then enter the code: 70 in the box on the first page of the shopping cart when you check out. Enter it in the box that asks, "Got a coupon code? Enter it here" Your 70% discount will automatically be applied. This discount may not be combined with any other coupon and is not retroactive. It is our final coupon. If you recently placed your first order with us during December or January, you are receiving this coupon because of that order, so please remember that it is not retroactive and orders cannot be returned and reordered with the new coupon.
We encourage you to shop as early as you can as our inventory is going quickly! This 70% coupon is unprecedented and is certainly the best coupon you will ever find on the internet for a full order of UCONN merchandise and will be, with absolute certainty, the biggest discount we will ever offer. We understand that our sizes and selection are dwindling, but if you spend some time you will hopefully be able to find some great deals. We thank you again for your support and wish you all a safe and happy year. So come visit us one last time during February and early March and take advantage of this remarkable coupon! The sale ends on March 14th at which time the site will be closing.



One final reminder about the return policy. All orders placed before February 1st have 30 days to exchange or return items. All sales or orders made after February 1st are final and may not be returned.

I went on at 1:00 and that site has been picked dry....not much left to get. Most of the items displayed don't really have an more stock because when you click on it it doesn't have any sizes to chose from. They'll be back when the new apparel is released....probably in the Spring.

I bought many things from them as I live n Florida and husky items hard to come by. They have been very good , usually free shipping and one time he even threw in a freebie for me because I told him we were earring up for the usf game. Actually tried to do an order a few days ago and they were out of everything I wanted

I can't remember when I ordered but I did get my stuff in. It took much longer than they usually do.

I left a message with them this morning and quickly received a response. A guy named Scott left me a voicemail shortly after explaining that they received 1,400 orders quickly after announcing the sale. He also said they lost power for several days and couldn't send orders because of the storm. He said all orders should be done within the next few days.

I placed my order at about 11pm on February 1st. It was shipped out last evening. As others have said, they had a mass of orders on 2/1 and have been behind on completing orders. Since mine was probably the last order on 2/1, I am guessing those of you who orderd on 2/2 should be having your orders shipped out today or tomorrow.

Would be nice if there was an easier way to tell what was actually in stock rather than clicking on an item and seeing no sizes available.
