Seeking some CFP gear I saw...
I saw something similar in Houston at the CFP shop at FanFest. The line was insanely long, so I was going to look for it at the stadium, but by the time I got in to the game, most UM gear was gone. I've been searching online, (again, assumed it would be easy to find), with no luck.
Anyone come across the blue 1/4 zip Antiqua pullover, that has The CFP logo, National Championship - Houston 2024, WITH the Block M? Similar to this, but again, with the Block M. Anyone? Point me the direction so I can spend my money.
Thanks!

Ha. I did the exact same thing you did. I saw it hanging at the gift shop on the club level but the line was insanely long and I just figured I'd find it later. I still haven't. I think this may be what you are talking about (and what I saw at the gift shop) - but no way am I paying anywhere near the amount this selling is asking for on ebay ($450!).
January 17th, 2024 at 8:50 PM ^
THAT'S IT! We'll... Similar as I'm looking for 1/4 zip not full jacket, but in navy blue... Yeah, $450 isn't happening lol.
Thanks!

I grabbed mine on Friday at the fan event. I'm glad I did - people were telling me all the Michigan stuff was sold out by early Sunday.
It's made by Antigua. The blue one (what I got) is PO: 32794, Style#: 104722 according to the tags.
January 17th, 2024 at 11:33 PM ^
M Den has something similar. Has Helmet and National Champions.
January 18th, 2024 at 4:00 AM ^
I got one at the fan event. The line wasn't that long, and I stood in one that was all the way to the Wash merch.
January 17th, 2024 at 7:57 PM ^
We were in Wichita today for some shopping...and there was Michigan gear at a Towne East Square Mall sporting goods store!
January 17th, 2024 at 8:20 PM ^
But how's jersey sales doing in Ohio?
January 17th, 2024 at 11:58 PM ^
With the tide of the rivalry in our favor like this? You better believe they’re selling out.
January 17th, 2024 at 9:36 PM ^
WICHITA! I LIVE HERE! And not far from there. Will check it out. Scheel's?
January 18th, 2024 at 12:17 AM ^
God’s Country.
January 18th, 2024 at 8:48 AM ^
Did you have to queue up? In other words, how was the Wichita line, man?
I'm here all week, and twice on Saturday.
January 18th, 2024 at 10:48 AM ^
Just make sure you remember that the train don't run out of Wichita... unlessin' you're a hog or a cattle. People train runs out of Stubbville
January 17th, 2024 at 8:16 PM ^
Nice design and all, but that just says “hey! I went to this sportsball game!!”
IMHO, I would need a Michigan logo somewhere on the shirt. Maybe just below what’s there to keep it somewhat simple.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:34 PM ^
That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Similar to the pic I included, BUT it has the block M on it. Some of the designs are too much for me and I want the simple design I saw but can't find anywhere. Thanks
January 17th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
That’s… specifically what the OP is saying — “help me find the version of this with a Michigan logo.”
I agree, I’m not wasting money on any memorabilia that just advertises the Playoff. :)
As an aside — for bargain hunters, I suspect that leftover inventory will be available in a couple of months at deeply discounted prices, albeit with the size selection being “whatever nobody else wanted.” There’s definitely a “first championship in 26 years excitement” premium being built into these prices. For me, I’ll buy those which I decide i really “must” have now, but I’ll keep my eyes open for better deals later on anything I’m not gung ho about. (How many similar shirts will I wear? :) )
January 17th, 2024 at 8:17 PM ^
I'm sure you can find it. I actually bought (and received) the same Antigua navy pullover yesterday, but for the Rose Bowl. I was at the Rose Bowl, plus I love the iconic Rose Bowl embroidered emblem along with the classic Michigan block M. I didn't make Houston, and it just doesn't mean as much to me as Houston. I'm sure I'll get something for the National Championship, but I also wanted something for the Rose Bowl game, memories and all.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:29 PM ^
that is a great looking, albeit pricey, pullover.
January 17th, 2024 at 10:08 PM ^
Exactly. Great looking, ridiculously pricey.
Back in 92 - 93, I did my student internship less than 9 miles away from the Rose Bowl, and went to the game. About a week later, I was able to absolutely clean up on Michigan gear, especially the pricey stuff. There was a "closeout" store in Pasadena, and once all the fans left LA, they had tons of merch yet to sell. This year, I called the Rose Bowl office the day after the game, looking to see if there still was a closeout store location. No such luck. With the internet now, they can continue to gouge you for full price.
C'est la vie. I bit the bullet, because I liked it enough, and saved enough in going to the game.
EDIT: I will say that this pullover looks VERY nice. The sewn / embroidered stuff definitely is nicer than a screen print. It has the NC football, the Block M, but also the proprietary Rose Bowl logo. The fabric looks great, and I prefer a non-hoodie, and don't need or want hand pockets. It is a pretty dark Navy that pops with the logos. My only question will be how it wears, and how it looks after several washes. Also, this kind of fabric looks like it could snag, so I'll have to be careful about that. But it does look good now.
January 18th, 2024 at 12:43 AM ^
Ridiculously pricey. And I still bought one. Told my wife I felt weird spending so much money, told her the price, and she said "that's just the price of a Lululemon top".
That did make me feel better about it. Also, it looks and feels very nice, so would recommend to anyone that's on the fence about it.
January 18th, 2024 at 1:22 AM ^
Hmmmm, $93 I thought was very reasonable?
January 18th, 2024 at 10:26 AM ^
In reality - it is not so bad. I'm just very cheap to the point where its detrimental.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
Yes I keep seeing the Rose Bowl one, so assume this NC one might get released. Just have yet to see it pop up anywhere. It's VERY similar to the Rose Bowl one.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:25 PM ^
Fanatics has like 50 variations of this
January 17th, 2024 at 8:30 PM ^
My fanatics gear arrived today. (But everyone else please shop at the MGoStore.)
January 17th, 2024 at 11:54 PM ^
I’m definitely buying that shirt with the scores in the near future!
January 18th, 2024 at 4:59 PM ^
I purchased a National Championship hat from Fanatics. Says National Champions in bright maize stitching with the world famous winged helmet also. Thought the official hat the players were wearing on the field was kinda plain looking. Dick's here in Michigan has all the gear 30 percent off if you're interested.
Go Blue....2023 National Champions 🏈🏆
January 17th, 2024 at 8:35 PM ^
No. The only one Fanatics has is the Rose Bowl one. There are no versions of the National Championship pullover with the Michigan block 'M' anywhere.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:37 PM ^
No, those have that mocked up "Michigan national championship" logo... I'm looking for one with the CFP "ball" logo, with National Championship - Houston AND the block M. That's what I've seen on Fanatics.
January 17th, 2024 at 8:55 PM ^
This site has amazing stuff he’s very creative Love the rose bowl things too

WTH I swear this was going to be some kinda spambot post - but went to the URL and it looks like an actual store (not that I'm gonna buy anything from it).
January 17th, 2024 at 8:56 PM ^
"I cant find the overly expensive jacket celebrating my team's national championship"...
The definition of Rich Man's Problems...
January 17th, 2024 at 9:42 PM ^
What the market will bear. You of anyone understands that Mike Damone. 😀
January 17th, 2024 at 9:58 PM ^
I heard he was selling Van Halen tickets - $20 per for anything in first ten rows, I believe.
January 17th, 2024 at 10:19 PM ^
I’ve only seen the rose bowl ones online which I really like
January 17th, 2024 at 11:52 PM ^
I’m not seeing that one as an option. Only the generic national champion logo. Sorry man!
PS. I get it, I’m picky about how things like that look sometimes too. When you’re spending, $100 you want what you want. Good luck! 👍🏻
January 18th, 2024 at 12:03 AM ^
January 18th, 2024 at 12:03 AM ^
Thus looks pretty close. There are others on Fanatics too.
January 18th, 2024 at 12:17 AM ^
OP is looking for the National Championship one, not the Rose Bowl one.
January 18th, 2024 at 8:43 AM ^
I may need an MGoIntervention and/or a 12-step program for the national championship merch.
Oops, I mean a friend of mine may need help.
January 18th, 2024 at 9:01 AM ^
My sweatshirt from Dick's is coming today.
January 18th, 2024 at 9:40 AM ^
They used to have it on the CFP official shop but I think they ran out by the Saturday of FanFest. I picked one up at FanFest Saturday later afternoon but they were already starting to run out of sizes in the Michigan specific one and they removed it from the site so I'm guessing they won't be making more inventory.

There she is... Ain't she pretty?
Looks like everything has been swapped out for the "Michigan National Championship" logo... Bummed because I think that logo is too busy and REALLY wanted that one. That's what I get for waiting...
January 18th, 2024 at 12:33 PM ^
WD would be so proud of the Op, unless this is one of his many burner accounts 🤔?
January 19th, 2024 at 4:05 PM ^
I'm not him 😂
January 25th, 2024 at 6:07 PM ^
[bump]
I saw this sell out 3 people in front of me in of the never-ending Houston fan event lines. (My goodness we fans consumed a lot of things in Houston--merch was gone, one of the BBQ restaurants I went to was even sold out of meat by noon because "we didn't expect y'all wearing blue today").
Anyway, I became kind of semi-obsessed with this particular logo lock-up and continue to scour the internet with no luck. I even sent a note to Antigua to check on it and haven't heard back. If anyone sees any re-stocking on this item (the full zip jacket or the 1/4 zip), please let us know! I feel like I'm running a little cottage industry of CFP merch acquisition since I couldn't get any of it at the game itself :)
January 28th, 2024 at 7:22 PM ^
Same... If I find it, I'll let you know and vice versa?
January 29th, 2024 at 8:44 PM ^
You bet. Losing a bit of hope, but still checking every day :)
February 5th, 2024 at 4:44 PM ^
Looked today.. nothing still... :(
