I went to the Academy in Webster to maybe grab a UH Big 12 champ shirt, or a Sweet 16 shirt. (I’ve been looking for those nice black or red Nike UH polos for months and can’t find one, which is absolutely maddening and disappointing).
Anyway, the Academy selection of UH stuff was embarrassing. The stuff hanging from the racks was awful and nothing is current. It’s like Academy is trying to get rid of UH stuff. Just admit it, Academy, and put up some more UT, A&M and LSU racks and ditch UH.
Academy traditionally restocks in the summer, closer to football season with new products. It’s up to the manager. Some just support a lot more than others.
The best option this time of year is to mention it to the manager while there, and then walk out without buying anything.
If you really needed something, go back to your car for a bit, then go back in and buy. Hopefully the manager won’t see you come back in.
I was in the D ick’s Sporting Goods (Woodlands) recently and saw a full section of Baylor and A&M merch. Very little for UH. Sad. Also, does anyone know if those retro jerseys are on the market? I would definitely get one.
