Curious where people prefer to buy their Cal gear and why. I have had pretty bad experience with the "official store of Cal Athletics" online (Fanatics). Their stuff is pretty cheap looking and low quality. I find that the Cal Student Store and the store across the street from it tend to have the best looking stuff. Overall though I've been pretty disappointed with the selection everywhere I've gone. I like the look of a lot of the UA gear the coaches wear but they don't seem to sell those items in stores. When I visit other schools the student stores always seem to have a much better selection of nice looking gear.
Serious question. I agree the coaches and sometimes players get the very cool looking gear. Why is it not available to us fans? If looks great on the staff why does one think fans would not like it? They seem to always fluff it up with extras. A nice simple California Football in block letters looks great. Keep it simple and clean looking.
An insider got one of our family members a hockey jersey that the hockey players actually wear (obviously he knew someone) and it so different from what one buys in the fan stores. Ridiculous if fans will pay the dough for quality. Make the knock offs cheaper for those who don't want to afford.
