What a bunch of narcissists.

My caps are Zephyr, which must be crap because every SEC school, plus UNC, Clemson, Stanford and Harvard school uses them.

I have some nice Zephyr hats. 47 and New Era too. And Nike.
 
pops sez 'and don't u show up at the game in the zubazz with little huskies on them, and expect to sit next to us! i'll disown ur seat privileges in a new york minute!'

zubazz? some kinda of 80s 'hammer pants' thing, near as i can figger it.

pops is old, and knows stuff. as usual, he's right aboot this one too.
don't leave the house looking like this, even if peter millar made them.

i blame boomers for stretchy pants. seems like one day, they all woke up to not fitting in their levi hiphuggers, and decided en masse that stretchy waistbands were the future, and that everybody should be walking around in pijamas. yeah, ummm no. and speaking of stretchy pants, anyone else noticing that in fairdale county, all the woman wear stretchy pants? weird.

i, for one, am not entertained when walking around trader joes in pursuit of cheap brie, chocolate, and sesame sticks. mos def. mg thinks tj's is some kind of singles hunting place for fairdale county divorcee's. sometimes we stroll around there and play a game of sartorial cynicism for those ladies. it goes like this: 'not on you! not on you! ok, that works for you.. not on you...' sumtimes, she'll say 'and get rid of that beard! it's like a freakin magnet in here! and don't wear the rollie submariner around here either!'
can't stand watches, jewelry, that whole thing. the watch was a gift, and mebbe, once in every million years or so, i'll wear it.

I hate millar stuff. I get why golfers like it but it isn't for me. The issue I have with our merchandise is the general lack of availability. It's quite annoying but that's an entirely different issue.

Not sure how the price is relevant to the discussion. But the lack of UCon branded stuff is annoying... especially if you're hardly home but always reppin' iykyk.
 
pro tip: u want husky stuff at very reasonable prices? stop in at the goodwill, peruse the clothing aisles. sumtimes, you could choke on all the husky stuff there. stylin.
where do you think i got the 4 championship t-shirts? and the retail 1 fiddy warmups, for like a tener. they're breakaways, with buttons all up and down the legs. i don't like polyester clothing of any purpose, but it is fun sometimes in winter, to walk into the gym, grab the waistband, whip them off in one fell swoop, and announce 'cliffy's here!' (crowd response: 'meh, big deal.. all that matters is that you get us one closer to ten.')

and when it rings up at 5 or 10, be a big shot, and toss them a twenty.
it's for a good cause.

never heard of peter millar.
took at look at peter millar website. saw 'peter millar' branded t-shirt, fiddy bucks.
stopped looking at peter millar website.
now, iffn u want to max out Husky full sartorial splendor as game related positive mojo, here's the tao:
hockey jersey. drop the mic.
we had our new hockey jerseys for our entrance into morgantown last fall.
boom. before we knew it, folks were chattering 'ooh, that's nice ...what's it made from?... good colors...ooo, that's nice, how much?' more than enough of them to remember.

Any website where hockey jerseys are available?

wait, i'll check... i wasn't in charge of getting those last summer.
'hey! where did u get the jerseys last summer?
bobs online. around a hundred bucks each.
a hundred bucks each? whoa, not cheap. wait, a half dozen of them, and u spent a hunster on each? who are u, the queen of england?
thanks.'

i also took a quick spin around the net to find them, but the links mostly ended up in 'sold out.'
ours are the blue, and white, ones, but this is pretty slick too.

yeppers, slap a wolf ready to bite on ur chest, and you look primed to live large. the UCONN on the backside just screams 'kiss my grits.'
and remember, not really for the golf course, unless ur adam sandler.

Speaking only for myself, it's more an observation and question than a complaint. I thought it strange that Millar has all the other Big East schools besides DePaul and UConn, as well as most other schools of note across the country.

I have always preferred merch with subtle and understated designs to loud and busy ones, which is why I like the minimalist Millar stuff. I have my share of loud stuff too and it has its place, but I get far more everyday wear out of the understated items.

My wife stole my old school 1/4 zip Husky fleece (probably Antigua or some such) around 20 years ago and she literally wears it almost every single day. It's navy blue and just has the small, old red-tongue Husky logo embroidered on the left chest. I replaced it for myself around 5-10 years ago with a Nike sideline 1/4 zip that has the new Husky logo on the left chest. It's fine and I wear it often (especially to games), but it's more of an athletic item than a piece of normal clothing.

I only have a few Millar items and none of them are branded. I like their pants because they're incredibly comfortable and versatile, but would not want them branded with a UConn logo. The only 1/4 zip I have from them is wool and it's well made and was a good value based on comparable products, and it's also unbranded. I don't think the collegiate stuff comes in wool so I'm interested to see what all justifies the price tag on those 1/4 zips, but I've happy been enough with the quality of their other items that I would check one out when available and see if it's worth it.

This is only slightly on topic, but I think pre-pandemic I could have been talked into one of those Millar KU Championship 1/4 zips, as it would function as work attire about 4-5 months a year. Now I can effectively wear "louder" stuff while working at home. I wore my UConn Hockey jersey several times, that's about as loud as it gets. My standard spring/fall attire is now Vineyard Vines long sleeve T-Shirts (wearing one today) which are fairly subtle and unbranded (Pebble Beach) or tech company logo 1/4 zips on colder days (got several free). I do have an Antigua long sleeve golf shirt in Navy with the logo like your 1/4 zip. I do agree those nicer items are more versatile, something you can wear out to dinner where a sweatshirt isn't appropriate. The nicer 1/4 zips have completely replaced sweaters in my wardrobe.

I might even venture into the office this week. It's only been 25 months.
 
On the topic of UConn merch… my mailman just delivered this from shop.uconnhuskies.com. It looks like my wife and kids wanted to surprise me. The Jonathan logo looks and feels like a sticker a child designed and printed on a sticker printer. I’m literally in shock at how poor quality this is.

I'm in the camp that UConn needs more upscale merchandise to cater to the fan/alumni base with deeper pockets. Let's face it, whether you agree with it or not, branding is branding and the likes of Peter Millar, etc. are a big brand. Yes, Nike makes some flashy, good-looking gear but it's often best for athletic/lounge wear. There's a reason big fanbases in the southeast, southwest, and on the west coast have nice gameday gear, even if it's preppier than what some people here may gravitate to.

People wanna look good in the office, at family gatherings, at dinners, etc. while repping UConn in a way that doesn't look like they're heading straight to/from the golf course, which if we're being honest is Nike's best appeal. I like the Columbia addition over the last few years as well -- kind of a hybrid between nicer wear but also athleisure.
 
I bought something like these a couple of years ago and my wife put them on my quarter zips, fleeces etc. Really no need to get official merchandise when you can find quality embroidered logos online. I made custom Brooks Brothers, Nike and Patagonia UConn gear.

This patch I just found on Amazon is a little big (3”x4”) but I bought a pack of 10 smaller ones online a couple of years ago for $20 or so and they worked out great. This seller on Amazon will actually make smaller ones on request. You just have to contact him and ask. I think he is in Thailand. There is 6 pack of smaller ones on Etsey for $7.59.

Peter Millar yells "I'm a boomer." I avoid it like covid. My UConn golf shirt is Nike. Love it.

For the grownups who might want something a bit nicer, Peter Millar is a pretty good choice that just about every enviable school carries. I’d rather be a boomer than someone who spends their time name-calling someone else’s brand preferences.

Iirc you are also the one who thinks business suits should be outlawed.

I am not for banning anything, but if I never put another suit on as long as I live, I will be glad for it. I think tall thin people feel differently about suit jackets. They just aren't made for me.

Perhaps ironically per XLs post, I'm so casual, I look at Peter Millar type stuff as my replacement for suits. If my shoes aren't running shoes or hiking shoes, I'm "dressed up". Boomers on the other hand, wear long sleeve button up shirts and loafers on weekends. It boggles my mind.

Never heard of Peter Millar, but in my searches it appears to be golf related attire. Let's set ourselves apart and link up with Bill Murray's brand for some UConn William Murray Golf attire.

This would be awesome. William Murray makes some very nice stuff, and it's a little less conservatize looking, a little bolder while still tasteful.

I mean, this is awesome. I just ordered it. Found a coupon code FREESHIP that worked.

I have a few of the William Murray polos. Love that from a distance they look like just a regular shirt, but get to close and they are everything but.

Millar has some nice stuff and I do agree UConn should branch out like other schools and bring in some other brands that can be wearable by the working professional. Keep the logo subtle and keep the school relevant everywhere in every setting.
 
I’m all for Peter Millar and that style of dress but why would I want a UConn logo on those clothes? I don’t need a UConn logo when I’m in the office, at a function or out to a nice dinner. Do I need it for a game? Sure. But why would I want to wear those clothes to a game? Give me jeans, a hoodie, t-shirt or jersey to game. People who dress to the nines at some gross arena sitting on top of everyone is as asinine as the people who dress up to fly. Those planes are disgusting.
 
and now a word aboot 'proper golf course' attire.
context:
how us swamp yankee dress in the winter,
walker2.jpg

cold? meh. wool hat, shorts. it's the law, as i've been told. i don't want to break the law. the only problem with this law is that up in Vermont, they have an addendum stating 'and the wool hat has to be as ridiculous looking as possible, with little tibetan balls, or antlers hanging off the lid.' (related Vermont sidepoint: iffn u mashup grateful dead with phish, you get dead fish.)
context, 2:
i always shoot in the 70s. if it's colder, i ain't goin out.
the story.
my regular links pals have developed a nervous tic. often, u can see them in the parking lot frantically fishing around in their car, looking for an extra collared shirt to have handy in case the man brings the heat to ol cliffy and his t-shirt issues. it takes like a nanosecond for me to be peeling down to a t-shirt as soon as the starter is in the rearview, cuz, you know, often it's smokin hot out there. i don't go shirtless tho. i ain't no heathen. so, my pals are a bit scarred from the possible kabuki theater waiting for them.
the ranger: 'i thought we cleared this up an hour ago. sir, u must wear a collared shirt on the course.'
me: well ya see, my buddie got mad and poured a beer on me, and i took it off to rinse it out in the pond.'
the ranger: 'sir, please put on an appropriate collared shirt or i'll have to ask you to leave...'
so i can't wear a t-shirt, but youse can parade around out there in pink pants with little green whales on them? seriously? fight the power.

Stopped by Storrs this weekend on my way home from vacation to show my 9 and 5 year-olds the campus, Gampel, the Husky Statue, Calhoun Way, future hockey rink, etc since they’ve never been there.

Went to the bookstore and spent $250 on gear for them (and myself) along with some future Christmas gifts for family members. I didn’t buy one but noticed there were some Vineyard Vines polos for $125 in case that’s anyone’s brand of choice for upscale work attire.
