where to order t-shirts etc?

<p>I know I’ve seen someplace mentioned that sells t-shirts, etc. for all the colleges. I think it’s a two word name, as A & B’s. Can anyone enlighten me? I want to surprise my son.</p>

<p>Steve and Barry’s sells a lot of college gear, but at least in the store, it seemed to be mostly the “big names”…I don’t know if you can order others…
We went on the day that D confirmed with UMD. They had several Maryland items (we’re in ACC country, so all ACC, SEC, most Big 10, most Ivy’s etc.) However, her bf was with us, and there wasn’t anything for Carnegie Mellon (I helpfully suggested the plaid boxers, but that was the closest they came to CMU gear.)</p>

<p>I know from your other threads that son is headed to Grinell…you can search online and see if the campus bookstore sells over the internet (or if you can call in an order). Another suggestion is ebay----I’ve ordered several silly Terp items for D, some for her 18th bday that she just had, some for graduation. Good luck! Finally, you could contact the office of admissions if both of these don’t pan out–they may be able to help!</p>

<p>I second the suggestion to just get stuff directly from the college bookstore. Even if not available online you can usually call most such stores and order by phone.</p>

<p>We have ordered from our kids’ college bookstores. I just placed an order as a graduation gift for my HS senior niece from the college bookstore where she plans to matriculate. </p>

<p>I suppose if you were to be looking for a Big 10 type school (and I know you are not in your case), you can find stuff online in many categories with the logos from those schools.</p>

<p>PS: Here is the link where you can find lots of goodies for Grinnell!: <a href=“Error - Page Not Found | Pioneer Bookshop, Grinnell College”>http://bookstore.grinnell.edu/&lt;/a&gt;. There are lots of tee shirts there, among other things with a logo.</p>

<p>Given your Vermont boy, he might like the tee shirt that reads:
“Where the H E L L is Grinnell?” :D</p>

<p>Ha, ha Soozie,</p>

<p>Yes very few people here recognize the name. If they do show a spark of recognition, it’s because they think I’ve said Cornell. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone, for suggestions.</p>

<p>Funny, Soozie, I was just on that site today, looking for a grad gift for my D’s best friend who is going to Grinnell. College shirts are my favorite graduation gift to give. </p>

<p>Some schools don’t make their bookstore easy to find on their websites, but I’ve always found them eventually, wading through search results.</p>
