Thanks SID.

I think what's being implied behind all this is: they don't stock because they don't see the demand! As Stallion has pointed out numerous times, if you don't like attendance or money or support of our program, then DO SOMETHING (our program is only as strong as we alums make it). Yes, UNT is a joke. Yes, UH is dogshit. And don't get me started on TcWHO or TTU or the Whorns or, worst of all, Baylor. But the DEMAND is there so you see their stuff (well maybe not so much UNT lol).

Even if we had the most aggressive "licensing/retail" dept in the country, even I wouldn't carry the stuff if no one is knocking down my door to buy it (well, for SMU, of course I would but you get my point). Economics 101.

So:

1 - tell the store to carry our stuff and you'll BUY it.
2 - tell all your friends the same (bring them with you to the store)
3 - get you and everyone you know INTO the stadium for games at kickoff.
4 - donate whatever money you can
5 - WEAR SMU gear frequently. Become a walking billboard.

Thank you,
THE 1500.

Had a sports store here in North Little Rock that carried most every college and pro team imaginable in every sport imaginable. No SMU. I asked them for some they said they had none. I told them I would not buy and left. They went out of business.

TCU [deleted] is everywhere...I'm pretty sure being in the big 12 affects that more than anything.

But if you want t-shirt fans your t-shirts have to be available in places other than on campus.

One of the posters on pf showed a SMU banner he bought at Signature Collectibles. At the time he said they had 16. My daughter went over two days later to buy me one and they only had 3 left.
SMU stuff will sell if they give it a chance.

a year or two ago I flew in/out of Love Field and the sports store in the airport had everyone but SMU. Folks, this is Love Field where thousands pass through. Certainly within our bubble. I'll be at Love Field on Tuesday and report back.

TJ Maxx in Richardson had about 8 fitted hats. I got one, came back a few days later and they were all gone.

<br /><br />:lol::lol::lol:<br /><br />This is a complete lie - but a common one. Stores don't want to tell the customer that they're wrong, so they shift blame. It's a common practice that's used with more schools than SMU at more places than Rally House.<br /><br />If you're shopping somewhere and they don't carry SMU, do this:<br />1. Ask to speak to the manager and let them know you are interested in SMU merchandise.<br />2. Ask them why they do not carry SMU.<br />3. Take notes - Store name, manager/clerk name<br />4. Fill out this form - http://smumustangs.com/sb_output.aspx?form=6.<br /><br />We will follow up with them. Licensing has been a huge growth area for us over the past decade. We're available in more stores than ever and set revenue records every year, but what matters most here is you - the customer. YOU ARE KING. Be vocal. Let them know that you want SMU gear and that they've lost a sale because they didn't carry your team. Money talks.

LIDS doesn't have a problem carrying SMU hats.
