I know some folks in the past were complaining about Ohio merchandise availability around southeast Ohio. I know Hibbetts in Jackson was mentioned. Not sure what's going on in other areas but the Hibbetts in Gallipolis carries a ton of Ohio University gear now. At one time there was more Marshall apparel but that has changed!

It warmed this old Bobcats heart when I was in there today!

I stopped at Costco at Easton on Wednesday and they had some very nice and reasonably priced osu stuff for sale. When I say very nice, that is my pet peeve with OU stuff. No matter who has it, it just isn't very stylish especially when you compare it to osu stuff. I'd love for a design firm to take our colors and logo and produce some stuff that I'd like to wear. I travel a ton but I rarely wear OU stuff other than my OHIO pin on a blue blazer. I'd love to be sitting in first class with some really good OU apparel when I fly to Austin tomorrow.

Mrs. BCB found some very stylish (and pricey) OU stuff in one of the Limited Brands' stores at Easton in the fall. I can't remember which store it was exactly but it was NOT Victoria's Secret. I would remember that.

I think the Under Armour store has some very high quality apparel but it certainly isn't cheap. Not sure complaining about merchandise prices has the same legitimacy when you are talking about flying first class.

I bought a ghostout hoodie for $90 at the Under Armour store. Perfect for mid November weeknight games. Cat logo is hard to make stylish.

BCB it was probably the Pink brand. It's one of the L Brand stores, and they have a lot of Ohio stuff now. (and what is in stores will differ from online FYI)

I've found it interesting that a Dunham's store in Beaver Falls, PA has been carrying an Ohio tshirt and sweatshirt for a few years now. They often have the Ohio gear prominently displayed in the apparel section.

my FB page had an ad in the margin yesterday at the Hospital. I clicked on the OHIO gear featured and saw a ton of interesting designs. Thought I would check it out when I got home but with the spam and ad blockers I can't get back to it. Some exceptionally cool designs I have not seen in Athens or anywhere else. We still look everytime we stop....be it Dayton, Cols, Washington CH, Cincy....just keep checking and letting store staff know we are looking.

It was, indeed, PINK. Confirmed during my Christmas shopping whirlwind.

Here's a link to the online stuff. Interesting but I don't think I want pink on something I'm wearing.

Luckily it's not geared toward men.

I would like to start a new clothing trend here at Ohio.

Green and white striped bibcoveralls that Coach Saul Phillips kids wear.I know that Michigan State also has them in their college book store.

I would like to see this also. At the Minnesota football game I would say about 90 percent of the students I saw walking to the game had on school color biboveralls. It seemed to be kind of a "bonding" and "school spirit" kind of thing. I think it could be a positive development at OHIO if it became an "in thing" to wear this attire to games.
