UMPI doesn’t make any cool school merch for us YourPacer’s, so I’ve gone rogue! :)

[wiSes]

I’ll totally be ready to buy some merch!

Ok, so UMPI is a small school. I get it. But since they made the decision to let Sodexo (!) handle their school merchandise store—logo shirts, swag, etc— there's hardly any selection for shirts and NOTHING in stock for shirt sizes I need. Guys, I’m just looking for medium or large. Not an especially rare size. Lol

Contrast this with the scene over at the University of Maine Fort Kemp. Now, those UMFK guys, despite being even tinier than UMPI, have their merchandise game on fleek. They've got a cornucopia of stuff on their virtual shelves. What gives, UMPI?

I’m a tribal guy by nature. This is my first Bachelor’s degree. I want some UMPI merchandise to show off my school.

Presque Isle, Maine is a very small town, largely defined by sprawling land and some potatoes. But hey, they've got a claim to fame – a UFO sighting in '76! Given that I've been pushed to forge my own college attire path, and considering colleges usually have a cheeky side with their merch, I concocted a shirt that nods to this cosmic event. Meh, I'm a graphic designer in real life, so why not, right? (I've only designed for myself, not selling, giving, or making any profit, just trying to show my UMPI enthusiasm!)

I'm gonna broadcast my University of Maine at Presque Isle pride like nobody's business. And I made a sticker for my car. I'm a one-person parade of school spirit, even if I've got to flex my creative muscles to get there. Take that, merchandise woes! Haha!

I'm going rogue also.  For now, I have an Owl shirt (Whom) however I've seen some cute shirts out there on Etsy and other sites with the UMPI logo, so I will be planning to buy something soon!  Also, my next school, WGU is also an Owl.  LOL  They sure are missing a good opportunity here, so many of us do want some degree of UMPI branded items.

Can you plllleeaaasee run your images through one of those automated print websites that'll throw it on whatever merch we want and get yourself started on a passive income stream?!? I'd buy it in a jiff

[bjcheung77]

Hmm... And put it into my account so I get all the cash after check out, pretty please!? Maybe we should do something like that for all the institutions we help out by recommending a handful or more students, maybe add a customized merch set for DegreeInfo and DegreeForum, plus the institutions we recommend on these boards...

Ok, so because their spirit store STILL lacks options for us "onliner's," and they STILL have not returned my money for the wrong merch they did send me, and due to popular demand: Here ya go. My username is CrayonViking for this shop and here are some of my UMPI designs.

Hmm, I wonder which vendor my niece and nephew uses, these are very awesome, if the prices can be a tad cheaper, it'll be even more appealing... These prices can get close to or almost rival LevelUP's "I told you so" cap for $50! Haha, I think it was this one... https://bigballerbrandinc.com/collection...o-snapback

Yeah, the prices are kinda high, but not too much higher than other schools' merch. My BYU-I merch bought from the official BYU-I school store is pretty much the same pricing level. My 'official' University of Maine (not Presque Isle) shirt that I bought from UMaine bookstore was same price as these as well.

I actually don't set the prices--that's all automated. I'm assuming they are that way because each piece is printed as ordered, as opposed to printed in bulk.

If anyone knows a cheaper outlet, let me know and I'll upload designs to the cheaper one as well.

Zazzle maybe? Or ArtsCow?

I haven't ordered from either lately, but I think the quality was okay. Shipping may be cheaper at ArtsCow, too. And they have (or had) some interesting things you don't really see elsewhere. Like umbrellas. Or playing cards.

Ok, after work today, I'll set up accounts with them in addition to the redbubble account I have!
