Problem with fanatics (besides quality) is shipping costs are like 8-10 bucks so that 25% doesn’t go that far
Plus another $10 if you have to return anything that doesn't fit. I've become pretty wary of them for anything I don't know will fit. That's never a T-Shirt, as some XL fit about like a children's medium, others are just fine.

Unfortunately, it isn't much better anywhere else. The Amazon UConn stuff looks cheap.

They just ran a $24 free ship and then a $44 free ship promotion. They still add a separate "handling charge" which is annoying.

I believe they will let you return for the wrong size but they will only give you a credit and not refund.

You can get a refund but then it's $10 charge. It's not a great shipping experience either way.

There was no $10 charge on an item I just returned. For what it's worth.

New one on the right came today. Bummed they didn't update last year's one on the left with all the championship years. I emailed them about it and said they made their own version with all the years (it's really bad) but fortunately they did the make the school sponsored logo for 2024 which looks great.

Any sign of the Coca-Cola cans with National Championship signage? I have a couple from last year and I’d love to add to my collection.

It's crazy to me that the school doesn't have more merch that has the 6 title years featured more prominently.

Both look great but if they incorporate the years into the 6 red stars it would take it up a notch.

I emailed the company hey can you just make the new logo with all the years from the school and was arrogant enough to think they could make a better one. I'm very happy with what I got but it would have been better if they didn't deviate from the school logo.

Better save some money…


-> Purdue men’s basketball fans will not be able to touch the NCAA championship trophy this year, but a piece of the Final Four court could be theirs.

A spokesperson for the men’s basketball team told Sportico the Boilermakers are purchasing select panels of the 2024 Final Four court from their 75-60 loss to UConn in April’s title game. The champion Huskies are buying the center-court circle. <-

This is a nice shirt, but mix for six has me puzzled. Wouldn't six for six make more sense?

I know some years the school has purchased some of the final four floor to keep or re-sell.
Those are some of my favorite memorabilia. They mention in this article that Uconn kept some of last years floor "logo" . Does anyone have a photo of that ?

Got to wear my 2024 Champs t-shirt through Charlotte a couple of days ago. Saw a lot of people noticing it, but no one said a thing. However, when I got to Vegas I got the "nice shirt" comment a couple of times..

Did NIL kill getting a stitched jersey from the UConn store? The jersey options that they have there are an embarrassment...along with Athlete's Thread overpriced non-stitched options. Where do people get the real deal Nike?

I prefer not to support a bootleg operation out of Malaysia, but buying these other things is not going to happen.

I don't know if they were stitched but Nike had a very small supply of NIL jerseys last season but they were inadequately prepared to meet demand. Nike has really gone down hill the last couple years, sad.

Still to this day the best place to buy UConn jerseys is eBay. Usually a few years older and used but quality has been good in my experience. Back in 2011 (wow that long ago) I got a stitched “15” jersey - Kemba - for 40 or so bucks. Greatest purchase I’ve ever made. Never seen one like it since.
