According to
@TankerZack on the Brick Ball edition of R&R this week the bookstore doesn't have these physically in stock. Unless something has changed since they recorded.

They seem to be changing almost daily. Stuff is selling and being re-stocked when they get the items in. Keep checking. I saw the flags out of stock a couple of weeks ago and then they were in stock again and I purchased one.

It's funny seeing all this championship stuff out there on the web. This hat is from Ebay. I'm a guy that likes a classic look, so this definitely isn't for me. I just had to laugh at the hat though, but I'm sure someone out there thinks it's awesome.

BEWARE - I bought a "Run the Damn Country" t-shirt on the NIL shop. It is very low quality and the fabric itself began to lose color after one wash (no bleach). Cool design, TERRIBLE quality.
Dang that's disappointing. What brand are the t shirts?
Anyone have a review of the hoodies?
I've purchased NIL hoodies in the past and found them to be decent quality but not as thick as other hoodies I've purchased from UpTop, Amazon, or the Bookstore. I purchased championship game hoodies on Amazon, the Bookstore, and two from UpTop. The two UpTop hoodies I purchased are very nice quality, however, the one with the Cat wearing the 1984 helmet fit slightly smaller than the other one and they should have been the same size. I ended up ordering another Cat hoodie in a larger size and gave the other one to a relative. The Amazon championship hoodie was high quality and looks great. I'm still waiting on my Bookstore hoodie and I ordered it before all the others. The prices varied quite a bit with the Amazon hoodie being the cheapest price at about $50 (plus shipping), UpTop at $64 (plus shipping), but you can get a 15% discount if you sign up for their newsletter, and the Bookstore being the most expensive one I purchased at $95 (plus shipping), although they have cheaper ones available.

Appreciate the reviews!
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Im surprised. I got the same one and the quality is good. I will make sure to be very gentle washing it the first time though.
And as my Mom taught me, always turn the shirt inside out when washing to protect the printing on the front of the shirt.

I believe that's mostly for the dryer though, but it works for washing too.
It isn't the logo that is falling apart. The dye is coming out of the cotton itself.

If your into nascar, I guess it fits the style.
If your left, you aren’t right.

Nice hat, but Montana usually runs Angus, not Holsteins.

I find it interesting that the side has the "new" (current) Bobcat head logo, but the front helmet has the old M logo on it. Can't decide what era it wants to be in

I received my second bookstore shipment today. They are starting to move now. I also stopped by the campus bookstore and saw different stuff from a couple of weeks ago, but it's getting picked over.

Short review on that MSU Bookstore $95 hoodie. I thought $95 was a pretty steep price for a hoodie. I received the item yesterday and tried it on today. The quality is excellent and the hoodie is thick and warm, better quality than any other hoodie I have. There is an appliqué that is sewn on to the hoodie and not just printed, so it's bit nicer than normal hoodies. The hoodie does wear larger than I expected, so consider a smaller size or go to the bookstore and try them on in person to get the right size. The hoodie is 80% cotton though, so it might shrink a bit. The yellow gold hoodie I purchased seems to be out of stock now and not listed on the website anymore, but there is a similar blue $95 hoodie still available.
Oh, I ordered this item on the 9th and it arrived on the 30th.

Man, full respect to anyone here who would get this, but this is the ugliest piece of Bobcat merch I have ever seen. Screams "NASCAR fan" in the worst way possible
