In my ongoing quest to obtain cool Illinois Wesleyan apparel, I've recently learned that the best route may be to create it yourself.

An alumna suggested that Illinois Wesleyan should have a cycling jersey. As a cyclist myself, I thought this to be a good idea and began a conversation with the University bookstore to see if we could make this happen. It took a bit longer than expected (about a year), but we finally put in an order. I think the bookstore was surprised by how many people wanted an IWU cycling jersey. I'm just glad that they actually fit and looked good because I was selling people on them sight unseen.
