Whoo-hoo! The tickets are here. The days are s-l-o-w-l-y ticking down. The T-shirts are cool (says "Champions Made Here" on the back). I'm not crazy about the pins this year (blown up in the picture), but can't wait for the season to start!

I got mine yesterday too!

The tee’s and pins were a very nice surprise.

I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!

t-shirts & pins

Is that a new thing, or something they’ve done in the past? I’ve had season tickets since I graduated, but just moved into donor seats from the young alumni section this year.

T-Shirts are new

But the last couple of years you’d get a “coupon” to redeem for the pins at the game. This time around the pins came in the UPS box with the T-Shirts, with the tickets arriving with the regular mail.

Thanks

If that’s the case, it’s certainly a nice touch. And it’s a good way to make fans wear the “right” blue without the white, etc. that so many wear. I remember the pin coupons from years past, but never redeemed them.

Even more ambigious

I am actually even more confused about the right blue. I understand if they want us to wear all the same color, but this is definitely darker than what I thought was supposed to be the right blue. It is in no way even close to the Den Shirts that were given out in years prior.

Oh well, I still love wearing my home jersey.

Maybe

I don’t have a den shirt compare it to, and it looked close enough to me. Granted, the “right” blue has been sort of a moving target over the years. I won’t end by saying it was the “thought that counts”, but that’s not far off.

I'm surprised the NCAA hasn't stepped in

to regulate this criminal wrong-color wearing by fans.

Thanks for the reminder!

I had totally forgotten about putting down a shirt size when Ms. M and renewed our season tix earlier this year.

Have to say—the shirts are NIIICE. Good quality, just the right thickness. A little worried about the iron-on/ applique nature of the lettering, but this is not my “official” uniform shirt for the year… right under my faded #18 jersey.

Pins are alright. A little more sivlery than gold-tone, but still better than trying to pile in with a bunch of people by Gate A at the beginning of the season.

The Fan Pack also includes a mini-catalog of Bearwear, with a 10% promo code to order online or… well, this is confusing. The foldout says you can get the 10% discount on-campus, but then gives you three locations at the RB. Again, a bit confusing.

Man, this Fan Pack is a GREAT idea. I can’t remember if this si for all season tix hodlers or jsut ones that have done it for a minimum number of eyars (13 years running for me, people!), but a solid T-shirt in the “correct” color (whatever shade it is this year), a nifty pin AND a discount for those that want to get gear BEFORE we start counting touchdowns and/.or can’t make it to campus on Mondays that easily during the season?

WELL DONE, MORGAN CENTER!
