The hoops society boxes are sick. Homefield has come out with a lot of great ISU stuff.

But agree - $200 for 2 tshirts and a hoodie is still wild to me

Lol yeah, don't see myself paying that for 2 t-shirts & a hoodie in this lifetime...

I've looked at their stuff but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Would you say the quality of the screen prints and the actual T's & sweatshirts is good? Appreciate the feedback.
Cyclone Fanatic Shop operator here. Vintage Brand isn't licensed. No clue how they still operate. If I had to guess its run out of the country. It is all print on demand stuff which isn't always bad but in this case its a cheap way to make a buck and not pay Iowa State anything.

Straight from the product page of a vintage football Cy design.

Cheap is on point for Vintage Brand. I bought a few of their tshirts last year because of the rare Cy logos (Flat Out Slob design of Cy holding a beer mug). Tshirt fabric quality wasn't bad, but the logos were basically low quality iron on pieces, not screen print.

I'll try that next, but with old guy eyes I like to see a larger image to try to discern quality before I buy.
Totally get that. I think the WeWill shop runs on Inksoft and our shop use to use that as well and there were times we'd have issues where a parent couldn't access a store for a day or two. Usually it was a device or browser issue for us.

The Elite Eight happened in 2000, not 1999. It was the '99-00 season, so it should say 2000.
I thought the same thing and then I noticed it says "NCAA Women's Basketball" above "Elite". I couldn't remember that one as clearly (I'm a poor fan that way) so I googled it and it's true. That was the year they beat UCONN in the tourney.

it pains me that vintage stuff is now "cool" and thus, expensive. gone are the days. I hope it falls out of fashion soon

although, i did just sell my 20 year old ratty ass carhart jacket to a kid at work for $80. that's half of a brand new jacket I want so I guess I have to take the good with the bad.

Thanks for the heads up. I started thinking they were kind of sketchy because a lot of their designs were never ISU "official" logos. A lot of them I've never even seen before. And I would always want to get officially licensed stuff that benefits ISU as well.

It's funny you posted this when you did because I actually just decided to order a shirt from the Cyclone Fanatic Shop, no lie! You have some really cool designs. So, thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.:)
