ORUalum11 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Outside of the shop(s) linked thru the athletics website are there any other options to purchase ORU gear? Frankly the current offerings are pretty sad and I’m surprised we don’t have more team gear available considering the trajectory of the program. This has always been an opportunity. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 At the ORU-TU game in December, I was shocked by the quantity and quality of the gear that TU had available. I thought all small schools were stuck with the same low quality gear, offered for years at a time. Somebody needs to get on this. I think the market is there for people wanting to buy nice gear - I know I want to! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The ORU bookstore has the exclusive contract for clothing items. The school needs to renegotiate their contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I want to be able to buy a legit baseball hat like the players wear. We used to offer that I'm pretty sure. I did get a nice polo for Christmas and last year I got the 1/4 zip similar to what Mills wears when he walks the mall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked all over the internet in December and couldn't find one. Was hoping to put one on my Christmas list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKC Eagle Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The Walmart at 81st and Lewis usually has some ORU gear available, but it is hit and miss (and no help for the out-of-towners). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's about 3 hours and 45 minutes further away compared to the Walmart I usually go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum11 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Macro point: We shouldn’t have to have a contact in the Athletic Dept or bid on a basket at the Courtside Countdown to get team gear. I know dozens of ORU alum who are reconnecting with the university due to the recent success of the basketball program but unfortunately are not interested in purchasing a $60 Port Authority hoodie with generic branding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Wal-Mart ORU gear, I want nice, name brand gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
