I went east this summer and had a vacation with some of my family in Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks. I was in a shirt store looking for some Saranac Lake merchandise when i spotted Red Storm material. Apparently, the local high school changed its name from the "Redmen" to the "Red Storm". Sound familiar! Wow, I thought I had died and went to Red Storm merchandise heaven. Alas, the basketball stuff all said high school, though some of the other sports only had "Red Storm".
I have mentioned to the Alumni Relations and Athletic Department that a whole new merchandise campaign is needed with creative ideas following some of the other colleges with high revenue sales in merchandise. The Coach Lavin era warrants a progressive program in this area, especially for us alumni living out of the Tri-State area.
