Done

 

[SHUHitman]

Very cool! Out of curiosity, anyone know what material the strap will be? Canvas, rubber, leather, etc?

 

[SPK145]

These are very nice watches at a great price for a Shinola watch, pay for play be damned.

 

[Hallisthebest]

They are sharp watches and as SPK said an amazing price for a Shinola watch.

While I am not completely sure, looking at other Shinola Detrola models on their website that look similar, it seems to be a silicon strap.

Not only is it possible to find a reliable timepiece in this price range, but you’re actually spoiled for choice

Pretty cool that they were willing to partner with us! Love the "Built In Detroit" on the back of the timepiece too.

From Mike McBride......

Thank you Dan!

Currently, we have watches, summer shore event, MDF Pirate heads, and the wine glasses out to the public to consider. Thanks for the continued support from the board.

We will have a few more items pop up in the upcoming weeks, including some great/fun gear and events. I will keep you posted for the fans.

Having an open practice with some kind of donation amount I think would be a sell out at Walsh and a good fund raiser .

 

[Halldan1]

I have already suggested that. Let's see if I can get a response.

I think it is a No - Brainer .

 

[Halldan1]

Don't know if they'll do it but I suggested a doubleheader with both the men and women and got a very positive response.

 

[SOBO1]

NIL is such a mystery. I would consider most of us here extremely dialed in fans and I still struggle to wrap my head around NIL. However, I *think* an event like that wouldn’t be permissible. You’re paying to watch them play.

You can pay for a meet and greet but once they pick up a ball that’s where they draw the line.

If you recall last year Knight Society hosted a fan fest event (similar to a midnight madness - dunk contest, 3 point contest, etc.) and in the last minute they had to cancel all the basketball activities due to NIL rules.

 

[Halldan1]

I also suggested a tour of the Practice Facility. Either in conjunction with a men's and women's game/workout or separately.

Rutgers also has billboards over state borders stating jersey is rutgers country. first thing you see. they are having a big push with this kind of stuff.

The NIL event whereby each program's collective gets $1 million is in jeopardy per the NCAA:

NCAA Memo Fuels Questions About Big-Bucks NIL Hoops Event

The Players Era Festival, set to take place in two months, has agreed to pay $1 million to the NIL collective of each of its eight participants.

That tourney always seemed to me like it was the epitome of unfairness, based on no legal info

 

[SOBO1]

Perfect example of how NIL is confusing...paying players $1M to promote/advertise the tournament and sponsors is not okay, but paying players $1M to promote and advertise for alumni owned businesses is okay.

Yup. Or paying NIL for "fake" advertising, which is what's happening with most of these deals. Or better yet trying to convince donors to pay NIL because the kids will do charity work, which is the most cringe aspect of all of it.

 

[SOBO1]

I have an unhealthy obsession with college basketball and most NIL arrangements still makes no sense to me. I don't know how the casual fan could even begin to comprehend this stuff. I sympathize with McBride and Sha because trying to explain this to the Hanks of the world probably sounds like you're selling them a bag of goods.


Hypothetical conversation...

McBride: "This is NIL. We can't pay Kadary directly, but with your support we can partner with a watch company, and he will get a cut of every sale thru our NIL program."

Booster: "Oh, does the watch face have Kadary's signature, or image on it?"

McBride: "No, the watch has absolutely nothing to do with Kadary Richmond's name, image or likeness."

Great post! These are great quality watches especially with our logo. FYI The bookstore sells an off brand one that has inverse Pirate logo colors for $350, I mean this is a way superior product and going toward NIL!

I know the golf head covers were limited but is there any chance they will get more later on since it sold out so quickly. Couldn't get one because I didn't see it until after work.

Sweet head cover. I like the golfing pirate logo.

Bump on the watches

 

[HallPirate]

Ordered mine last week. I hope the minimum quantity required is reasonable

 

[SHU Advisory]

Ordered as well, with credit card charged.

Since there are three weeks left in the preorder, could we get an update on how close, percentage wise, we are to hitting the target to start the buildout in October.

It would be wonderful if the first wave could be delivered around New Years!

 

[Halldan1]

I'll try

 

[Halldan1]

I do not have exact numbers but we have a ways to go with 3 weeks until this ends.

This is a great buy. Hopefully more take advantage.

 

[Halldan1]

Bumping this for more to see.

Got to have more buyers to get these watches manufactured.
