NU Clothing

[kreggk]

I'm not sure if this is an actual question or just a gripe. Does anyone know why there aren't any NU shirts available that aren't XL and larger? I'm shopping for a simple N logo polo or 1/4 zip (or both) and banging my head against the wall. Everything is N-Cat or too large. Didn't we try to move away from the N-Cat logo? What gives?

Let's Tailgate is the Official Dealer of NU Gear

NU swag is generally pretty pathetic in comparison to other Big Ten Schools. My wife always has great MSU hoodies, t-shirts, shoes, automobile accessories, dog collars and clothes, glasses and mugs, etc....

 

[HappyNUyear]

Go through Let's Tailgate in Evanston, Official NU Dealer. Dick's and elsewhere are junk

They're my go to. However, they're also down to nibs as far as sizes go.

Couldn't agree more. Is it too much to ask to have a nice chrome N for the back of my car vs a thin window decal? Ugh.

Your point about MSU is spot-on.
Here and here. Well, and here also.

Have you considered eating more pasta and drinking more beer?

(“Northwestern-specific sports fan gear”, sadly, is not a business model that drives a lot of competition, or profit, I presume. 🙁)

Not to take away from our friends at LT, but Campus Gear on Sherman (and Locker Room on Central) has some stuff <XXL: CampusGear (1/2 and 3/4, both N and N-Cat)

Also, Fanatics has "taken over" store in Norris: NorrisLink

Guessing you've probably checked since these aren't exactly secret places....

Campus Gear and Becks are my go to places. My wife is particularly fond of Becks, and I've gotten quite a few things there myself.

 

[Darren72]

Last time I was in LT, he said they are having major supply chain issues.

XL?
XXL?
We need to revert to the proper term. When I was a kid, I was husky.

 

[phatcat]

The Let's Tailgate crowd is as predictable as the "It's over on The Rock" crowd.

XXL?

But I think that term when out when you turned 13 or 14 and you went to adult sizes

Not familiar with Becks

 

[jne381]

I am surprised Becks is still open. And what was the name of the place that would make course books of copies? That place has to be out of business with the internet and at home printing.

 

[No Chores]

Becks might now be closed. It was on Clarke right around the corner from the Orrington Hotel. My wife and I were there last year when we were out for Homecoming. Too bad, they had great NU gear- not cheap but excellent quality.

Kinko's?

 

[boonman1]

Becks is closed , store is cleared out.

Sad - liked that place.

 

[CoralSpringsCat]

Great to see NU increasing its brand visibility. Excited to see what’s available. Will be adding to my collection!

I thought Fitz was going for the pure N logo look. Could be mistaken.

That's definitely what I remember reading on these boards, too.

Me too, which is why I'm glad I decided to keep the Cat out of my NU tattoo.

I, too, seem to remember reading that Fitz wasn't a fan of the N-Cat, and I don't blame him. The clean, classic N needs no adornment, IMO.

Nobody outside of Northwestern knows that it stands for Northwestern.

The N-Cat is more identifiable.

First Burger King and now Becks!! Sigh.....

Could be a bit of truth to that. 🥺

Not sure I'm in for $34 T's,...

Of all the Northwestern t-shirts I've ever seen, this t-shirt here is definitely one of them.

 

[phatcat]

I just bought an NU polo from Dick's for 11 bucks plus shipping. But - the people at Let's Tailgate are so nice, whereas the people where I bought are real Dicks

 

[NURoseBowl]

Well, tri-blend is definitely the way to go with t-shirts, BUT . . . just personal taste, of course, but none of these designs speak to me a whole lot.

And before that the Davis Street Fish Market and long before that there was a place near the Orrington Hotel that used to have cinnamon ice cream. Is Baskin Robbins still in Evanston?

I can't disagree, but this will not begin to change until the N-Cat is gone.

 

[Cat Fan in Buckeye Land]

I’m surprised nobody is selling the new jerseys . Usually when they get revealed, somebody has them available for sale right away. I haven’t seen them, anyway.

Agreed. I want a Skoronski jersey with the $$$ going to big Pete.

N-Cat is dead by official dealers

Campus Gear & Locker Room are now same owner, since Campus Gear bought the Locker Room.

Let’s Tailgate is way to go
