Is Maroon Monday still a thing?
Is Maroon Monday still a thing? Does anyone know which department started this and would anyone be interested if the Campus Store carried some sort or Maroon Monday shirt kind of like this school?

I see it around showcasing Mac stuff but it's definitely not a big thing. |

Definitely not McMaster thing.
But man, U of Chicago has maroon colors, and a bird for a mascot. It's like looking in a mirror.

Never heard of this before either! But I love the shirt! It would be awesome if the Campus Store carried something like the shirt in the first picture!

Ahhh there it is! It is definitely a Maroons thing - they would be the ones to talk to - Thanks everyone for your feedback - https://twitter.com/MSU_Maroons/stat...75388977627137

I don't think there is a surefire way for us to catapult to the NCAA levels either, but any gradual support from Campus Store would definitely help! Having been to a few NCAA powerhouse campuses there is a remarkable difference in school spirit and retail as you might know!

I'll definitely be submitting the shirt idea to our buyer and probably be tagging a few tweets  |
