Hello Everyone,

Way back during Orientation week, some of you asked me about the possibility of purchasing MAHN hoodies. Over the past few weeks, Nofisat has been hard at work looking into various options.

Unfortunately, we are not able to purchase the UM bookstore version as they require a minimum purchase of 48 hoodies.

The option we are moving forward with is from Pembina Source for Sports. The hoody will be $35+tax and our order must be for one sweater colour and font color. The colour we choose this year will be the colour we use each year going forward; therefore it should be a neutral colour.  We have identified 4 neutral options below. The font is intended to be font colours taken from the UM logo.

ONLY if you are interested in purchasing a hoody, send me an e-mail indicating your interest AND respond to this poll (View/vote in browser).

We will require interest from at least 8 students to move forward as we need to place an order for at least 20 (MAHN staff will be purchasing, and we will purchase some to go with the preceptor awards). We will choose the colour combination that is most popular. Please respond by end of day Friday as we will proceed with collecting orders next week.

The hoody colours referenced in the poll can be viewed at this link (and the font colours are all colours from the UM logo)

Here is a mockup. It will have “MAHN” down one sleeve and the full program name on the front. If there is unanimous support from those interested, we could look at the possibility of the student version having MAHNSTER instead of MAHN down the sleeve. Please let me know your preference in your e-mail to me.
