Re: What do you want to see in the FIRST Store?

I've always found that most FIRST merchandise was stuff that a generally fashion conscious person wouldn't wear outside of a competition. Last year's products which were on sale at the Georgia Dome were a huge improvement over the past.

Things I'd like to see, that fit well with the latest fashion trends

- Polos: Striped and Non Striped. If the shirts were designed like Lacoste shirt or one of these from AE, except with a small FIRST logo in place of the company logo, I think you'd have a big hit. Vibrant colors are good this year.

- Hoodies are always great, especially for us folks who live in colder areas.

- I know the fad is slowly dying, but the mesh back trucker hats are still a personal favourite of mine.

I could sit here all day and give detailed descriptions of what I'd like to see (I'm a bit of a clothes-a-holic), but I leave it like this for now.

Thanks for taking the time to solicit input from the ChiefDelphi community.
