Recommendations for merchandise?

Submitted by mgoblue_in_bay on January 9th, 2024 at 4:31 PM

I have been putting off buying anything until after the game last night.  Even while at the Rose Bowl I didn't want to make any short term decisions on picking something that.

After the "vs Everybody" thing started I've been thinking about getting at least one "season specific" item, which I would usually avoid.

General question: what are all the places to look to buy some stuff (shirts, sweatshirts, maybe a banner, anything/everything)

Second level question: last year there was an MDEN sale and we bought a bunch of things.  Is that a yearly thing (what time?) that's worth considering waiting for to buy more general stuff?

Major MGoSponsor Underground Printing has a ton of championship merch:

Other good places to look are the MDen and Homefield. 

MDen typically has a sale over the summer of "previous season's items" - things like the sideline coaches' polos update slightly every year, so the 2023 polos (team shirts, etc) will go on sale prior to the 2024 season.

So far I've bought a commemorative football with a mahogany case, 4 newspapers, and a sports illustrated commemorative issue.  No clothing yet.  I've bought too much clothing in the past right after winning something that I never wear.

IMO Homefield makes great stuff and usually with a bit more design flare than other places. Worth checking out to see if you like them. I'm a bit underwhelmed by their national champion designs for us but the shirts/sweatshirts they use are a notch nicer/softer than your average blanks.

I bought a coin, seemed like the most durable keepsake. At some point I'll probably buy a framed photo of the celebration with the confetti in the air. 

Also got a hoodie and a felt pennant.

The national champions merch is honestly pretty generic, but I got a sweatshirt because I had to. Wish they would restock some of the Rose Bowl stuff which was better

I would prefer to support MGoSponsors, players and other friendlies when buying my merch...

So I will definitely be buying something from Underground Printing  (thanks for reminding me, @JeepinBen). 

If people can suggest a good place to buy a jersey, I would really appreciate that.  I am looking for NCG JJ, similar to official.  It will be my first.  I've always wanted one and now is definitely the time. 

 

p.s. TurnoverBuffs Glasses, anyone?  https://www.will2johnson.com/

 

ALSO:  what do people think about a sticky thread with NIL stuff-you-can-buy links?  I'd sure like to have one!

I put $60 on the Rose Bowl, doubled my $ (roughly). Pushed it all in on the NCG, doubled it (roughly). Now spending it on champ merch. Something special about wearing merch paid for by the defeated fanbase.

Also for clarification, the big MDen sale is Memorial Day weekend...lucked into that one this past summer and finally picked up the hockey sweater I'd always wanted!

I bought everything I thought would fit my fat a$$. C'mon Fanatics - get some more 3XLT shirts going. Gotta wait on DXL to have at least one National Championship shirt. Usually do in a few weeks.

I bought the hat, really want a sweatshirt/shirt but I’d like one without a paragraph worth of text on it. Homefield does have a sweet and rather tame sweatshirt I like. 
 

i keep hoping for a more classic/simple block M hat with the rose for the rose bowl, but again, too many words on the official versions

I remember seeing a post after the Rose Bowl of a light blue hat with a rose on it but now for the life of me I can't find which thread it was in. I think it said "America's Bowl" or something similar. Anyone recall seeing that and can point me in the right direction? Need to track one down.
