Which makes it even crazier that there was zero commuication of that based on the line waiting to get in and the temperatures
Equipment Sale Feb 5th
- Thread starter IASTATE07
- Start date
What donation level did you have to be at to get in on the Friday sale? We're Gold in the Cyclone Club, but that didn't get us in on Friday.
Really glad I didn't take my kids and freeze our butts off for nothing.
As I mentioned in a different thread, they could have avoided this by letting in folks by tying access to Cyclone Club giving level. To me, this is some of the lower-hanging fruit in adding value to Cyclone Club memberships.
For example, you could have done something like this.
Students Athletes until noon on Friday
Directors/Victory at noon on Friday
Captains & gold at 2 PM on Friday
Cardinal/States/Century at 4 PM on Friday
Then open to the general public on Saturday morning (if anything is left)

Need to get the names of the people hauling out the size 14 and up shoes. Got to have some big kids growing up. Need size in the O line.
Didn't go but for everyone complaining about communication from the A.D. your going to a glorified garage sale. How much effort should they put into it?
I was about 10 deep in the front of the line. My first move was to the jerseys and I can tell you there was not a single 2018 jersey when I got in.
Currently in the captains level and not allowed in yesterday. So I assume one needs to be in the Director/Victory level to get in early
I don’t think any donors got in yesterday. It was ISU employees, faculty, and student athletes.
Don't disagree. Everyone here will still buy tickets, merch, etc. So the AD is out nothing tangible.
That said, don't advertise the newer jersey style and fail to mention it's only for $15,000 donors and up. Iowa State is a great program because it's accessible to all. For the sake of non-rich donors with kids, I wish they'd keep it that way.
Exactly this. I have a friend who works for the athletic department and basically everything that people have described is how it was yesterday as well, so it's not like anything was really picked over.
My oldest has Jeremiah George’s in Cardinal and youngest got a gold one of Dale Pierson. Funny side note of that one, the UNI guy who he terrorized during their game is a friend of ours and now coaches him in youth wrestling.
Yep, take what you get. I never go to these things, its a waste of time.
All I know is that staff in the Athletic Department were able to shop on Friday. Not sure about student athletes or donors. Hadn't heard anything about them until this thread today.

Did anybody get a coat? I was really hoping to get a winter coat or parka to wear to cold football games.
They did have a a couple black jerseys that I saw people a couple got on Friday. It was supposed to open at 10 and I got there about 5 minutes before 10 and it was already a free for all. They did have a few black parkas, but the had them under the tables. Most people were concerned what was on the tables. I got the 2XL parka. It just had the Nike logo on it though it does have the ISU Athletics label in it. I do know each athletic staff person was given two tickets. It was not open to all ISU staff. A couple close friends that teach at ISU knew nothing about the Friday deal.
Like I said earlier, I could be wrong on the booster thing, but then again someone in the department could have given them a ticket. I wasn’t going to stop and ask since it was a free-for-all. Wondering if I can get the parka logo
Muir Embroidery in Jefferson does a great job. If you are in the Des Moines area they will be at the state fair grounds Feb 12-14 probably for Iowa Beef Expo. It would probably have a one day turnaround. I've had them do some stuff for me.
I've always purchased the clothing from them but I bet they would do it the price just might be a little more?
