I'm sure there's $1.50 of nylon and at least another $1.65 in labor, packaging and shipping invested into it.

10/20/23 2:46pm

Slow your roll there. They are made in Vietnam and China. Maybe 15 cents labor..

China labor is actually quite expensive now. It has even surpassed Mexico.

Without a BYU logo, that shirt is $20-30. So you’re playing a lot for the BYU

And yet they often sell out of most of their dri fit stuff

Inflation has pushed the cost of logos WAY up.

10/20/23 2:52pm

Not just inflation. Companies keep seeing how high they can push prices.

CharlottesvilleCoug

You’re not wrong. Inflation has become an excuse to increase corporate profits.

This trait of our fan base is why we aren’t at a P5 NIL level

Ehh.. nobody in Alabama is buying $50 roll tide shirts.

AltTabbins

10/20/23 5:22pm

I'd say few fanbases would consider a $50 shirt reasonably priced.

byuluvr

10/20/23 5:30pm

Right. I'd pay $20-30 for a nice T-shirt. I'd gladly pay $50 for a nice shirt

So who have you sponsored for NIL oh great fan?

Sucks, but you know Nike, and you know the BYU Bookstore. Both charge a premium

CougMAGA

10/20/23 5:45pm

Nike typically has MAP policies for official retailers

10/20/23 5:50pm

I call that getting swindled and pimped.

Hutch65

10/20/23 5:54pm

It’s limited edition. Do some simple addition.

10/20/23 6:05pm

There are 115 t shirts available on BYUstore.com right now for less than $40

gww687

10/20/23 6:02pm

It’s like people who respond to a pizza dough recipe “but I’m gluten free”

Cordell

10/20/23 8:27pm

Great analogy, perfect actually

New norm, cost that much to go to McDonalds now

FallingRock

10/20/23 7:25pm

Plenty of other cheaper Nike options of you don’t want the on-field gear

10/20/23 8:19pm

Just keeping up with the ticket prices

ochobeeguy

10/20/23 8:45pm

I found one in grey, same brand and design, at Burlington. $10

Leonardo

cube3_cougar

Newgate mall in Ogden.
