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

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.
