Shop 'Til You Drop

So it's no secret that there haven't been very many businesses that carry decent, affordable Washburn apparel and merchandise.  How many times have you wanted a new WU shirt for a tailgate party or playoff game or your kid outgrew the Ichabod shirt you bought him 5 minutes ago, only to drive around and find something so ridiculously overpriced or imprinted with a beloved cartoon character that has nothing to do with Washburn?  Well.  Your frustrations are now a thing of the past, friends.  May I introduce you to GameDay Supestore?  The people who work here are awesome.  I mean, they had to deal with the Ichablogger nagging them about not having much Washburn wear and not representing Washburn in their home town.  How many businesses do you know would take the time to not only listen to a potential customer, but actually follow through with an incredible show of support and faith in the Washburn devoted?  They are the real deal.  You're immediately greeted when you walk in the door.  You're informed of the great 4 for $20 table!  I can't say enough good things about this store.  The merchandise is appealing, stylish, up to date, and most importantly, it's all seriously affordable. They are located at 5967 SW 29th St., Suite 250 (near 29th and Wanamaker).  Hours of operation are Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and 
Sunday 12 p.m.-5 p.m.  Their website:
(However, at the time of this post, there was not an option to purchase Washburn merchandise online.)
The assistant store manager, Jessica McKinley, was kind enough to let me snap some photos of the store as well as all the great merchandise they have available.
I mean, LOOK at all this navy and white!  Can you stand it?  It's fantastic!
This stuff looks like what the coaches and athletes wear.  Amazing.
My personal favorite.
 It totally deserved this close up.  If you have a mini Ichabod cheerleader in your house, you MUST get her one of these as well as a pair of those fabulous poms!
Need a little bling for the big game?  Check.
How about some hip casual wear?  Check.
Or warm ups? Or awesome kids apparel?  Check and check!
They also have scads of KU and KSU merchandise as well that is top notch.
So stop by GameDay and give them your business.  Tell them Ichablogger sent you* and that you appreciate them supporting Washburn!


*In the interest of full disclosure, I must inform you  that GameDay is in no way paying for this praise or advertisement.  The Washburn Alumni Association, it's employees and/or board members are not receiving kick-backs of any kind for allowing this to be posted.  We just want all of our alumni and friends to be made aware of this local business and it's offerings.
