Rise Up 915

[Maximus Miner]

UTEP has officially started the Rise Up 915 Campaign with a new Helmet design, new menu items, and a new commercial. A press conference is about to start. One note is at the spring game they had it as the 915 Era with a similar commercial. Curious why they tweaked it.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

Also $9.15 tickets for UNT game

I've been saying this for years. We need a jersey that says El Paso. This Logo is bad ass and connects the city and the University. Love it.

We keep recycling Los Mineros and Military Night. Glad they came up with this!!!

I want that Sticker on my Gas Guzzling Truck.

Looks like they are finally listening to the fans. Someone Here in a previous post had suggested that UTEP set up at the mall and that’s what they are going to do.

Looks like they’re only doing it since it’s the 75th anniversary of the area code. If they’re smart, they’ll keep it/use and an alternate kit like the Texas Western ones

I hope so too. I think UTEP Should have a kit like the SMU Dallas jerseys.

 

[Minerforlife]

I like the area code wouldn't want a jersey that says El Paso.

The marketing folks at UTEP are stepping up their game. We are still 3 months from kickoff and they are already hyping the season opener. With GECU buying 5,000 tickets and the Great Khalid foundation supporting El Paso area band members to attend, attendance for the UNT game a is off to a good start. KROD.COM article says the Sun Bowl capacity is now 45,971 and the university is pushing for a sellout. I'll be happy if they reach 35k but expect 30k plus, which I think would be a good number considering how low attendance has been lately.

You mentioned in another thread that UTEP needed to go all out to market the UNT game. I think they are taking your advice.

I like it. Now Dimel and the boys need to their part. It's all for not if they lose that game.

Hopefully this campaign brings on nicer merchandise as well.

 

[utep2step]

Ambitious campaign for a tough first half schedule.

Can't get a UTEP jersey either. Lol

 

[UTEPMiners8106]

Given the fact that they’re trying to fill up the Sun Bowl for the home opener vs UNT this is now a must win. None of this means anything if the Miners go out there and lay an egg. All those fans will say “typical UTEP” and they won’t return.

Yep, as Minerforlife said, Dimel and company need to produce to take advantage of fans in the stands so they will want to come back. The pressure is on to have the team primed for this game.

 

[picks up]

I love everything about this campaign. I would absolutely love to see a sell out for the first game. Kudos to Senter and his team for thinking it up. Hopefully the execution is just as good

 

[nattybry]

Like it all, Now let's win against N. Texas and keep the fans coming!!!

 

[Voice of the Mosquito]

Like the new "logo" and it looks sharp.

This is the #1 absolute fail in UTEP sports the last 20 years. Aside from allegedly turning down the MWC.

UTEP has never had good looking merchandise widely available. In 2004 and 2005, UTEP could have sold a shit ton of Nike football and basketball jerseys. They of course, didn’t sell them. The only jerseys available didn’t look good and you could buy them at WalMart.

Some people don’t give a shit about a Nike logo, but kids do. Nobody wants to be seen with “fake” gear. Most UTEP merchandise has always had a “fake gear” feel. Being available at Walgreens and WalMart doesn’t help that cause.

Nice to see them take a page from the Chihuahuas and Locomotives

[denverutep]

The code is GECU if anybody needs the $9.15 tickets.

Agree, people like me won’t wear any type of sports team shirt if it is not name brand like nike.

Where guys like me won't EVER buy Nike because it's made in sweatshops in Chi-Na but clowns in the NBA get paid millions for wearing it. Did research on them a few years back to show my young son that wanted Nike. He won't ask anymore. Besides, unless it has changed recently, their products suck ass.

Shirts are fine. Jerseys without a brand name look cheap and knock-offish.

While working in a Chinese “sweatshop” is not desirable to 99.99% of Americans, it’s usually better than the alternative for poor people. Poor people in the US look for handouts. Poor people in other countries WANT to work and don’t have food stamps and Obama phones waiting for them.

They're basically slaves. Work 70+ hrs a week and are lucky if they make a quarter an hour. There has to be something morally wrong about supporting that. Yes, I'm guilty of buying Adidas gear.

Sam West reports that over 60% of the 45,971 seats are sold so something like 27,500.

How about this prospector for a UTEP logo?🤣

I will believe it when I see it.

Oh, please "Doubting Thomas", it's not like you're going to go to the game.

I am going, but thanks for asking. Unlike you, I'm not gullible.

Good news / Bad news. Over 27K have been sold but 15K are from big cooperate businesses. For example, GECU bought 5K for the home opener.
