Where to buy SMU youth Basketball Jersey?

Every year my child wants an SMU Basketball Jersey for Christmas to wear to the games, but I can never find one. Do they sell them anywhere? These last two years SMU would have made a killing selling the #11 jersey in youth sizes.

I could be wrong but I thought I saw #11 jerseys at the gift shop in Moody. That said, the overall selection is VERY limited.

BTW, as I've sad the last two years, if we would get some cool gear (shirts, jerseys, shorts, hoodies) they would sell like hotcakes. Put Moody with a clever slogan on a shirt. Here's a crazy idea, how about "SMU Basketball - AAC Champs!" on a shirt. Unless I'm missing something, it shouldn't be this difficult. It's called marketing.

Shirt ideas:

Moody Coliseum - est. 1956

Moody Coliseum - the House that Larry Built

Moody Coliseum - home of the MOB (hell, all the student might actually buy and wear these)

Moody Coliseum - home of the 2015 AAC Champs

Moody Coliseum - Good enough for W

Any other shirt that says "SMU Basketball" except the ugly one they've had for the past two years.

SMU blue (see what I did there) hoodie that says "SMU Basketball"

SMU Basketball - Family Strong

Just called SMU bookstore:
Typical...
"we will not be getting any youth jerseys in this year bc apparently they do not sell well. We have the adult, which do great. Nobody wants the youth."

I informed him otherwise. Politely said sold out quickly before and been waiting to purchase this year as are many... He said this is what his mgr has told him.
Such deleted!

I wonder if we could all chip in to convince one of those Chinese knockoff sites to run us off a batch. #inthesameboat

They are correct, they probably didn't sell good........3-5 years ago.
We have a lot of kids that go to our games, I assuming most of them would want one.
And its not very often that one of our star players happens to be the number on the jersey too.

The ones in the gift shop are adults, even the small is way to big for a kid.

If Mcarty's can pull it off, that would be awesome.

went into the gift shop last game and noticed how pathetic it was. About 5 jerseys in there and 2 shirts that I would hardly consider wearing. Per usual, SMU drops the ball on merchandise.

You can find ANYTHING online.....except a youth sized SMU Basketball Jersey.

If Mcarty's can do it, they already have 3 sold in this one thread.

McCartneys response to her was "no clue how to go about getting them"
Such a shame considering kinda part of what that business is... They are aware of the "waiting list"

Lol- true, this really is the ONLY thing not on the internet

The bookstore is odd because it only stocks basketball merch seasonally. If you don't buy it in Dec-March, you won't find anything.
And yeah, the gear itself doesn't have much swag to it.
I got one of the nice Nike jerseys last season. It's nice.

Sport-Tek makes a reversible Youth jersey. Red/White, Royal/White in Youth Sizes XS-XL.
Youth Small would be a 6-8. A reputable (even a garage operation) silk screener can duplicate the SMU on the front (adjusted within the "law") and number on front and back. Wouldn't have a swoosh or AAC logo but you can make them pretty dang close.
Sport-Tek makes the matching Youth sized shorts in all three colors - red, blue and white.
(if you're looking for tackle twill (Pro Twill) for your SMU and number, Dalco Athletic in Garland can produce the design - I believe there is a 10-12 piece minimum).
SMU should have a marketing dept. that would take care of these things instead of having to jump through hoops ( :wink: ) to show support for the program.

They had plenty of #11 adult jerseys in the Moody shop. The small might work for a kid.
