I thought the same thing. Seemed kind of high.

THANK YOU DONORS!!
I'd like to personally thank everyone that participated in our first donor drive in years! We raised over double the amount that we set as a goal. You guys are awesome! This money helps to fuel much needed upgrades around here - and also includes monthly server costs and software licenses. We are excited for the future and your donations ensure that there will be a place to talk about George Mason basketball (among other things) for seasons to come! - The Management

Must also be a branding/marketing involed in that, no way jerseys even if they bought 500 cost that much

When Doc first came in they bought longstanding pep band members customized jerseys and then a bunch of bulk blank ones for the subs and scrubs who would show up to fill out the band. Obviously things are different now but I'm wondering if the customized fees are a part of it. Either that or they're incorporating the design fees or something into it.
Frankly I'm surprised the jerseys lasted this long...my Green Machine jersey looks pretty haggard and I haven't even worn it in over 10 years. My yellow jersey that I wore in the final four season still looks great though...

Seeing Doc's swag on the baseline during games, would you rule out that they are going the Versace route?
This probably has to go through official vendor sourcing channels, and I recall correctly they have to use approved vendors that meet some special criteria (I think someone posted on this eons ago). This all drives the cost way up. I wouldn't be surprised if that at least doubles the price that you are I could get by going out by finding the lowest cost vendor.
I just donated to the Green Machine Jersey drive. If they show up in the same ugly yellow Jerseys at the home opener I'm disputing the credit card charge lol lol lol. J/k.
Seriously, how can they not know they are hideous? We have the best pep band in the world wearing the worst uniforms in the world. It's honestly mind-boggling.
2 years ago when Doc Nix posted on Instagram the Green Machine “The Basketball Tournament” Jerseys, I commented that they should use those instead of the outdated Yellow ones and his response seemed like he was kind of mad. I don’t get it.
90 bucks per jersey times 150???
Got this today.
| In early March of 2020, we put our equipment away and went home. Uncertainty permeated everything. We made hard choices and we got them right: people stayed safe. We figured out how to meet using our computers. We followed guidelines of small gatherings. We continued to explore, design, develop, and create. We continued to be a band any kind of way we could figure out. We continued to celebrate the composite of our collected uniquenesses, the intersections that comprise each individual, and the chemistry that makes the magic. We continued to learn, and support each other with both nostalgia and dreams of what will come. We missed each other. We missed the rehearsals, the games, the ceremonies, the trips, the meals, the performing. The way we have worked together all along helped us through the changes. We already know so much about who we are, how strong we are, and how to recognize that strength in ourselves, and each other, because of how we work together. The loss of our normal patterns demanded we dig deep. Through so much isolation, we found each other, and ourselves, again and again. As it is said, “the more things change, the more they stay the same,” we have found ways that is true for us: The Green Machine Ensembles have relied on our dreams, our optimism, our tenacity, our flexibility, our curiosity, our creativity, our passion, our vision, to continuously surpass expectations and reveal that more is possible, and worth pursuing. This is nothing new. And as our reality continues to shift, it becomes evermore obvious that we have always successfully navigated uncertainty, and thrived despite so many of our circumstances. We will continue to do so, and continue to punch well above our weight. Because the Green Machine transcends our mandate to be a band that performs at basketball games. We fully embrace that mandate but deliver so much more because of our undeniable truth. The Green Machine has always been more than just a band: We are an idea, and a movement. We are here to have fun working hard, and to work hard having fun. The fact that you are reading this means you have some sense of our true power: the courage, the playfulness, the laughter, the joy, the love, the movement, the music. The time will soon be just right, and it will all come rushing back to life. We will be there at the front, breathing life back into the campus, the community, and all of Mason Nation. When I interviewed for the position of “Pep Band Director” all those years ago, I said to the committee “If I’m doing my job right, the band will become part of the team. And if I’m really doing my job right, the whole stadium will become part of the band.” The stakes now are much higher than any single basketball game. Sing, dance, and cheer with us! Help us bravely and boldly show the world our pride, our honor and our might. Join us in the fight to get our hearts beating at full strength, and join our march onward to victory! See you out there soon! |
