Those are very busy pieces of clothing.

I'd like to see a red jersey with a large white block C on the front and an equally-sized number 1 in the back.  That would say it all for me, plus I could wear it after our next hockey championship.

You can still find some gear at the Cornell store with the angry bear logo

I've been hoping that Homefield will make Cornell stuff one day, but this is pretty close to what I'd want!

If the leaning bear was holding a long pole, I'd definitely buy that.

Homefield is great but last I looked the only Ivies were Yale and Harvard.

Email the campus store — if a handful of people ask I imagine they'd explore licensing. I shot them a message.

Quote from: BearLoverIt is impossible to know what Cornell athletics would have achieved if the pandemic had never happened. Maybe men's hockey, women's hockey, or men's lacrosse wins a national title that year or soon after. Perhaps men's lacrosse wins in 2022 if the pandemic doesn't lead to Donville transferring to the team that then beat us in the finals.

At the time, the way things were proceeding, the mass exodus of players from the #1 hockey team in the country, the coach of our #1/#2 lacrosse team leaving for Johns Hopkins, losing Morgan Barron and Jeff Teat to the pros after just two postseasons each, it felt like all of Cornell athletics was crashing down and would have to start again from square one.

But this crazy sequence of events led to Buzcek becoming our next head coach, a number of players on the 2020/2021 teams preserving eligibility and giving Cornell numerous fifth and sixth year players, something that would not otherwise be afforded to an Ivy program. Just a few years after the canceled seasons we had maybe the best coach and certainly the best senior class in the entire country. The result: a national championship. Given it's been almost 50 years since the last one in lacrosse OR hockey (men's or women's), in my view yesterday closed the loop on "what could have been" in 2020. I will not again complain about these lost seasons because the winding road of the past few years led Cornell to its first title since 1977.
I'm bumping my earlier thoughts because mike1960 asked if PM would have won a title as coach. To which I say: he could have won, but given how many things have to break right to win a title, it is more likely than not that he would not have won one by now had he stayed at Cornell. A lot of weird things had to happen for this season's roster, coaching staff, strategy, and lucky bounces to materialize as they did. Even though PM was probably capable of winning a title, had he stayed the universe would not have progressed as it did.
