(OT) UConn Slate Coasters

[KembaSlice]

Apologies if this isn't allowed. My dad purchased a laser engraver and has been messing around with making slate coasters and made a set with the different UConn logos. He's been in touch with the University about licensing fees.

Wanted to post here to see if it would be something people were interested in at $35 for the set (with $5 going to the Boneyard's NIL fund)? He's basically looking to see if there's enough interest to justify paying the $350 licensing fee.

I have more coasters than I can use. But...I must say. These are Badass

I’d be in on buying these

I'd buy a set!

 

[KembaSlice]

This was just a practice run, so he'll definitely make sure they're a little more centered / fix the sizing.

Any other ideas on what would make a good set? All of the NC logos ?

 

[Get a Job]

The selection shown is pretty sweet. Maybe the circa '94 logo instead of the musket one. Definitely gotta have the derpy one, though!

Would absolutely buy a set, I love the 4 logos shown

What is the base material?

What is the base material?

It's just a 100% slate (rock) coaster that is etched with a laser

 

[ihatepants]

I would buy a set as well. Maybe two

 

[auror]

I dont use coasters really but would probably get a set.

My son and his wife got me these for Christmas. Set of 4, each with an iconic UConn play drawn on them. Kemba’s shot against Pitt, a play against Kentucky in the 2014 National Championship game (says 2:47 left on clock), 1999 championship Khalid’s free throws (I think), and Okafor’s put back in the 2004 semi final against Duke.

Not sure where they got them but somewhere online.

I want a set!

 

[Ratso]

me too!

 

[Northbound]

the banners would be a cool coaster set add in one with a husky logo and that's your 6 coasters

This is a great idea. Choice of either the old Husky (in effect for 1999, 2004 and 2011) or new for 2014 and 2023.

I've got those too... I can't remember the last time I used a coaster but they're a cool decorative piece

 

[Austin316]

Those are pretty sweet! I would buy a set

 

[Grab 1]

Very Cool! I would buy a set

You can earmark me for a set. Love both the championship logo idea as well as Jonathan's evolution. If you do go ahead with the licensing thing, count me in for a set of 4 or 6, whichever is produced. Nice work.

It seems there is enough interest. When you do decide to sell these, will you post a link on this board?

I would also be interested in a set.

 

[formerlurker]

PM me if I can order a set with 2 16oz Miller Lites, 1 Arrogant and 1 Spoiled.

Yes. There was enough interest so my dad applied for the UConn License to use their trademarks. As soon as that is finalized, I'll post a link.


Thanks for your interest and suggestions everyone!
