They should be in every single bookstore and establishment. You can go to downtown Oxford or Athens and find them in every store, right up front. What is the most embarassing is that I went to Steve & Barry's and found very nice clothes for schools like Robert Morris or Xavier but only a small handful of USF gear, all of it horrendously ugly. Where are the stores that sell five for $10 college shirts like any other campus? It really can only be explained if there's some hitch in the licensing process, and that's why all our USF gear sucks. (For the record, I know that those sweatshirts were made once upon a time, though curiously lacking the word "of." My roommate's simply reads "University South Florida" which is fine by me, and I would borrow it except she's a girl, and it smells like girl. I don't want to smell like girl."

Wow!...a baby doll teddy with a USF logo would be more powerful than a bottle of viagra.   Anyway, my cap is black with a green iconic U.  It's the best cap I've ever had.  My biggest complaint about the USF clothes is all USF XXL polo shirts, no matter the price, shrink so you can't tuck them in after 3 wash/dry cycles.  Lastly, I finally rec'd my first nice XXL USF sweatshirt.  Been looking for yrs for a nice non-hoody sweatshirt.

Guest BullsFans Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Sports Authority had high quality dark green crewneck sweatshirts with University of South Florida embroidered on the front in gold...MSRP $39.95on sale in December for $24.95...very nice..it seems that most people prefer USF or Bulls...otherwise they wouldn't have had them on clearance.

Guest wooly Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I did not read any of the response posts so I have no clue if someone mentioned this yet, but CHAMPS at the UNVIERSITY MALL had a good selection of shirts and sweatshirts while I was there today. They even had a kids shirt. The more we purchase from there the more they and other stores will sell our geer. Can't wait for a large brand to pick us up so we can get some better geer/swag.

Guest BullsFans Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Why don't we emphasize the black a little more. Black and green are the stronger of the three colors. Never been a fan of the gold. Since when is black one of the school colors?Regulations:http://www.stpt.usf.edu/advancement/documents/identity_standards.pdfIt appears that the band's uniforms do not comply with university rules regarding the use of the old logo.

I have heard that for the 2006 football season they will have new unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest USFSam Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Ari - the shop outside the Swamp is not their bookstore...it's basically their Nike sales center (anything Nike makes for UF you can find there). Their bookstore is located in Reitz Union and it's not that much bigger and doesn't offer much more selection than USF's. Most bookstores offer less than you can find at other stores in the surrounding areas and I wouldn't consider USF's deficient.If nothing else, Ari's post does reinforce the need for a bigger brand like Nike to takeover our apparel. You'd see more USF stuff in stores around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care much for the gold. But maybe a white hat with that green "U" logo would look good.... There IS a white version of this, I've seen it many times at Sports Fanattic... Why don't we emphasize the black a little more...... A very BAD picture of a very nice looking hat. SO nice, in fact that you will see it on my head in the following photo: Our BBall uniforms have come a long way though. Agreed 100%. They're sharp!

As a non-student, I've been there 4 times. All 4 times as a "last resort" looking for merchandise......and came away very, very, VERY disappointed.
