I was at Dunham's in Asheboro this afternoon and they had no App clothing or caps except a jacket with the old logo (Gorton's Fisherman) on it and no lettering.

Perhaps this comes as news to you, but sporting goods stores ain't doing so well these days.

They had plenty of UNC, State, Duke, and EZU apparel.

Then I reckon you need to find a new store.

Where? That's the only large sporting goods store in the area. Hibbets has even less App Gear if any.

Locally-owned stores in Boone have plenty of App gear and do not carry UNC-ch, NCSU, EZU, or other apparel.

They would love your business.

I have bought things there in the past but I don't want to drive 200 miles round trip.

You might try shopping online.

Every bit of App gear I bought on line is low quality and butt ugly.

Then head to Boone. 200 miles round trip isn't that far. While you are there, grab a bite to eat and help out the other local businesses.

While I'd like to head to Boone, because who doesn't, it's not always feasible. I'm hoping you told Dunham's what you were interested in. If enough folks tell them they want to purchase App State gear, they will start to stock some things...and hopefully not the floating head mascot stuff.

Sounds like a user error. There is plenty of great Nike gear available from a number of reputable websites. App's bookstore has a HUGE online selection as well.

He'll be more upset when he finds out the bootleg site from which he ordered stole his credit card info.

Wrong again, Bonzo. This was a year and a half ago and I have suffered no repercussions on my credit card and have excellent fraud protection on the one I use most. It was licensed gear, just gaudy.
As to you guys mentioning the book store, I have never stepped foot on campus since I graduated without making a pilgrimage to the Bookstore and have bought most of my gear and that for my 4 grandsons,daughter, and adopted son there. I even bought a front vanity tag for my oldest grandson when he was 5 to hang in his room. He now has it on his Civic even though he is playing tennis at Pfeiffer now.

Never found anything to my taste on the bookstore site. Plus the quality is slipping even there. Nike sells some crap, too, from time to time. My best jacket came from the bookstore, but alas, it got stolen at the last Elon-App football game.

You can't spell fElon without Elon.
