What's some of the best national championship merch out there right now?
Anyone seen some particularly cool pieces on online stores since Michigan won?
I'm partial to the 90s style designs on shirts, with big lettering and old school designs. A lot of the merch I've seen celebrating the national championship has been very techy and a little generic.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:32 AM ^
Personally, I only buy merch from Twitter bots.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:59 AM ^
Lol. I deleted my account last year but every time I follow a link back to a tweet there I'm astonished at how bad the replies have gotten in the last few years. It's literally 50% people trying to sell you cheap dumb shirts.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:12 PM ^
Funny you say that… I would love some gear that has the 2()24 logo on it and the only place I’ve found it is the knockoff shit on twitter. Will the mden please let us buy some drip?
January 10th, 2024 at 11:33 AM ^
I just want a Rose Bowl jersey. Anyone know if they'll start selling them?
January 10th, 2024 at 11:35 AM ^
I have seen a few on FB marketplace. I think they are the standard jerseys but then hand stitched the patches on.
I'm holding out hope for the real deal ones.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:55 AM ^
I'm with you two- Waiting for MDen or some legit place to do a real Rose Bowl Jersey
January 10th, 2024 at 11:55 AM ^
You can get Rose Bowl jerseys at Jersey Locker.com. Wife got me a National Champions game one for Christmas and it was exactly like what we wore.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:18 PM ^
Unlicensed counterfeit products that monetize off the player's names, I'll pass.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:21 PM ^
That website links to a facebook page that for some reason my iPad can’t access.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:35 PM ^
I wonder if #23 jerseys are going to begin being a big thing like #97 jerseys. Of course, people buy Hutch jerseys, and I'm sure there's people with Barrett jerseys walking around out there, but I'm talking the generic jersey rack at Dunham's. It seems like they always had #1, maaaaybe 2 and 21, and #97.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:01 PM ^
Yeah, rose bowl was the more important game for me personally just based on where I live. A better game too.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:35 AM ^
WD open thread

What I really want is a wool Jumpman fitted hat with the thin line block M - i.e. the Bo hat that Harbaugh wears. It’s been out of stock for ages and it seems like it’s not coming back any time soon. I emailed M Den about 2-3 months ago and they had no time line for a restock and directed me to the New Era version of the hat. It’s a nice hat but it’s not low profile like the Jumpman version and makes me look like I have a gallon on top of my head.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:50 PM ^
Good to know - I need to take care of mine!
January 10th, 2024 at 4:02 PM ^
Even the Jumpman one feels like a ten-gallon hat on me, plus after a couple years the elastic in mine is starting to give.
All I want is an actual low-crown, adjustable thin-M hat, but it simply does not exist.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:32 PM ^
I’d love if 47 Brand made a Clean Up slouch hat with the thin block M. I’d buy 3 of them immediately and be set on hats for the next 30 years. I love the Clean Up hat but the navy ones tend to fade heavily over the years. I have a retro Milwaukee Braves 47 Brand Clean Up hat that has a white thin block M on a navy hat with red brim, so they could easily make the hat by using an all navy hat with maize thread for the embroidery. They have the design in their computer already.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:54 AM ^
I'm on the same boat and this is one of the closest I've found to that 90s look so far. UGP has a few like this I've got on order already. Keeping my eye out for other good options
This one at mden is another solid choice:
January 10th, 2024 at 12:11 PM ^
I like this one, but I don't see it in normal sizes, only extended.
I may go with the embroidered crew above as it is the cleanest that I have seen so far.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:00 PM ^
Waiting on that embroidered Champion sweatshirt, but it seems like MDen has just been reupping on a bazillion of the Rose Bowl versions that sold out immediately before the game.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:54 AM ^
none, it's all so gaudy. might make sense to just design your own shirt/hat/etc.
find a really nice/soft T and a hat that fits nicely, have it printed, and go that route.
January 11th, 2024 at 9:33 AM ^
I have a navy carhartt hoodie I have been wearing for all the cold games watching in my garage, I ordered rose bowl national title and 2()24 patches I’ll be adding, will be a “custom” piece
January 10th, 2024 at 11:56 AM ^
Homefield is always the right answer...
January 10th, 2024 at 12:08 PM ^
usually! this round of merch feels a bit phoned in to me. i hope maybe they have another shirt or two coming where they didn't lock the designers in a room during a commercial break to get the result :)
January 10th, 2024 at 12:27 PM ^
Just cancelled my Mden order. The Homefield stuff is way better. Thanks for the info.
January 10th, 2024 at 11:56 AM ^
There was this golden trophy like thing at the end of the game Monday. Might not be enough to go around though.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:58 PM ^
what about that giant ring thing blake was holding. where do i get that
January 10th, 2024 at 12:15 PM ^
Any of the really cool stuff has no doubt sold out already. I wanted one of those Jordan 1/4 zip pullovers and they were sold out like 2 hours after the game was over
January 10th, 2024 at 12:17 PM ^
Would love that Rose Bowl hat that was posted here a few days ago but pretty sure they aren't going to reissue that and it was sold out in like 10 minutes. Shoe and clothing companies are leaving a lot of money on the table by doing "limited" releases - they must think it works for them though.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:23 PM ^
That was my post. You can sign up for a wait list if they make more. I also have a saved search on EBay.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:20 PM ^
I was fortunate enough to get the quarter zip ordered right after the game. Hopefully the sizing isn’t weird like some of the other Jordan brand merchandise.
January 10th, 2024 at 1:39 PM ^
Is this the quarter zip you were looking for? I ordered one from this site earlier today.
January 10th, 2024 at 4:04 PM ^
I really like the statement this one makes from Rally House.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:18 PM ^
I wouldn't call this 'cool' but it is pretty clean and doesn't have HOU in obnoxiously large letters like most of the shirts at the MDen. So I ordered one.
January 10th, 2024 at 2:02 PM ^
I am totally baffled why they think anyone gives a shit about the game being in Houston. That is fucking trivia
January 10th, 2024 at 12:19 PM ^
I actually like a lot of the jumpman championship gear. I have been underwhelmed by Jordan gear the last couple of years, but I think they did a solid job with the championship gear.
Would love a Championship game jersey.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:22 PM ^
Was shopping and mostly I'm on the opinion that I don't want any apparel with 2023 or similar written on it - most of them have giant prints (as many said) and I don't like walking around with giant prints.
I went to MDEN and bought a glass (for home) and a steel tumbler (for work) which have the whole seasons scores on it, I think that satisfies my need for something specific to this year.
Otoh still looking, in case something grabs me.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:24 PM ^
I want a nice winter hat. There this one that I found but 1) holy shit is that expensive and 2) meh. it's okay. Would rather it be maize and blue instead of grey. I might hold off until more come out.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:28 PM ^
Trying to find this sign to hang in my bar. Anyone have a lead?

I'm partial to the Valiant "Michigan Beat Everybody" ones so far - they have a T shirt and a hoodie available at the MDen. I've never been a big fan of the "locker room" shirts and hats, - they are so obviously generic because they make them for both teams.
January 10th, 2024 at 12:51 PM ^
Has anyone found the Rose hat - large rose on the front w/ a block M on the side?
January 10th, 2024 at 3:59 PM ^
Not for sale, apparently.
EDIT: Apparently was, but sold out, if this was the same one in that grainy screengrab. H/T someone downthread.

There is a ton of great gear out there, branded and not, I got a few Jordan Brand things, a beer mug, a hat, but I also got a national championship crest patch, the 2024 CFP patch and the rose bowl patch that I’m going to have added to a navy hoodie I have worn during all the games
January 10th, 2024 at 12:59 PM ^
Was just able to pick up the locker room hat and shirts at Dick's Sporting Goods here in West Michigan
January 10th, 2024 at 1:05 PM ^
I met a guy at a basketball game (SW Ohio) last night who was wearing a Michigan National Championship 2023 sweatshirt. LAST NIGHT he was wearing it. It looked embroidered; he wasn’t messing around!
January 10th, 2024 at 1:10 PM ^
Michigan Beat Everyone hoodie on Mden is fire
January 10th, 2024 at 2:13 PM ^
These are the two shirts & one memorabilia items I've snagged. Shirts are from Fanatics, framed commemoration from MDen
