I worked at the bookstore when I was a student. I remember it was very difficult to get clothing in the school colors brown and gold. The people in charge of ordering argued that no one bought it, and that pink was what people wanted so that’s what they sold. I never understood how you could argue something would not sell when it is not offered for sale, but they did.
Over the years LBSU made real progress in promoting pride in who we were until we made a U-turn. The “new” merchandise keeps me away as I do not like the new BEACH logo or Shark mascot. I noticed that Elbee is various shades of grey. I guess grey is the new pink.
I feel like the school store to buy items could be better. I know many of us have expressed concerns with branding/Mascot etc. Perhaps with a new University President coming in they will fix many of these areas. What are your thoughts in the poll below about our merchandising? For years I have wanted the basketball shorts that are warn by the players on court. many schools sell these in their stores. Also the Jersey they sell should allow for either a custom Number, or just put 49 like it used to be. the double zero 00 looks lame in my opinion. Thoughts? Ideas?
