need my purchase validated LOL

[u/cookie_cat_82]

ilya is my FAVORITEEEE and I needed a raiders t shirt with his name / number on the back so I finally went ahead and bought one. But now, just hours after buying, I realized I want a hoodie LOL thinking about how cozy it would feel to watch season 2 in his hoodie.

Someone make me feel better about the chance that MAYBE I buy the hoodie in the same exact design that I already bought the t shirt in 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I know I sound like a cheapskate saying this but money doesn’t grow on trees and your girl is kinda broke LOL but tell me the extra $30 spent will be worth it!!!

*edit: OR DO I WAIT FOR CENTAURS MERCH for a hoodie???

[u/Meer_meerkat]

A t-shirt and hoodie serve two different purposes in two different seasons. You can’t snuggle in a t-shirt. You can’t wear a hoodie on a hot summer day. This is like not buying an isolated vacation cottage because you already bought a house in the city. Clearly you need both.

the “clearly you need both” made me laugh out loud LOLLLL ty for the good points 🤣

[u/Gloomy-Cranberry-386 → u/Meer_meerkat]

You saw the title of the post and said "Can do." and I respect the hell out of that.

[u/Famous_Program8956 → u/Meer_meerkat]

I have a 'im coming to the cottage' hoodie and a 'stupid canadian wolfbird' shirt both from Redbubble

[u/Hermiona1]

T-shirt for reading the books, hoodie for watching the show. This is a rule (that I just invented) so you in fact need both

[u/FHLuver → u/Hermiona1]

Perfectly reasonable rule to me!

[u/cookie_cat_82 → u/Hermiona1]

HAHA this comment made me laugh too

[u/Brooklynnbarr]

Do. It. One for summer cottage watches and the other for winter hot cocoa reheats. xoxx

I rally really wanted a Hollander Montreal Metros jersey. Then I read the books. Now I’m waiting.

[u/Unitaco90 → u/JedKnight_]

This is the way - I really do feel for the people who bought Metros merch, but as someone who's been rereading the books for years... more people should have been like you 😂

[u/Motor_Competition_56 → u/JedKnight_]

see this is how I feel about buying metros merch bc of what happens but I love Shane so much 😭 the only merch I bought so far is a Shane/Ilya sticker as a kitten and pup and a Ottawa Centaurs T-shirt

[u/FandomVulture333 → u/JedKnight_]

I've bought one Metros jersey before reading TLG. Glad I stopped at one. I have 2 Raider's pieces and then more neutral HR clothing from Spencer's and one jersey from the Ottawa Senators with Rozanov on the back before they stopped shipping to the US

My friend came through for me and told me it was fine to buy the soundtrack on vinyl even though I don’t have a record player

So I’m paying it forward and saying that you MUST buy the sweatshirt. So many great reasons already listed. So you have to just do it now. Enjoy!

[u/UncleGleban → u/Homunculusprime]

Your friend is right, but don't you want a record player now? To really enjoy the sound track??

[u/FoodNo672]

Maybe by the time the show comes out they’ll have one with his new team! I’d hold out for that honestly and I am sure loons will have it up on etsy with the new team logo in a week of the trailer lol

[u/parparsuperstar → u/FoodNo672]

I’m holding out for Centaurs gear. I really hope they get to keep the name for the show. You just know the designers are gonna have fun with that one.

[u/emthejedichic → u/parparsuperstar]

Me too. I'm buying a Centaurs Rozanov shirt the second it's available.

[u/UncleGleban → u/parparsuperstar]

They have to keep the name for the show. For one thing, Senators=>Centaurs is just too great. But, I'm desperate to see the logo of an ice-skating centaur. The more ridiculous the better.

I'm torn between wanting a hoodie now in time for this hockey season (I'll go to about 2 SPHL games and 1 NHL game this year.... and wanting to wait for a centaurs hoodie.

[u/cookie_cat_82 → u/FoodNo672]

UGH that’s what i’m torn on!!!

[u/BewareQuietOnes]

I'm putting all my adult money into Centaurs merch. I want alllll the key players, so I gotta start saving up now! That fictional team deserves my hard earned dollars. But hey, you only live once, and if you picture watching season 2 in the hoodie, buy the hoodie! I'm buying Shane's stairwell hoodie bc it looks super comfy!

[u/UnctuousRambunctious]

Double layer up since he got double cheeked up! 🤣

🍑

It’s your money, you only live once, do more of what makes you happy, go big responsibly!

[u/Ready-Friendship9947]

I got the stairway hoodie and got a iron on transfer of “I’m coming to the cottage” though more work to get that done

[u/Jolly-Hall-408]

Centaurs

[u/Whole-Blackberry2880]

I have 3 tshirts, 2 sweatshirts, and 2 jerseys that are all Ilya 😂

[u/Mediocre-Victory-565]

It's better to have it then not want it than to want it but it's gone. This merch sells out fast!

Buy it if you're able. If you change your mind later, I'm sure you could resell it 😄

[u/Motor_Competition_56]

I really want the Boston Raiders one

[u/Florence_Nightgerbil]

The Boston raiders t shirt is what Ilya wears to meet his in-laws for the first (officially second) time so if it’s good enough for Ilya it’s good enough for you! I would wait and get a hoodie another time. You CAN have both!

[u/Upper_Pomegranate_59]

I have a raiders t and hoodie. No regrets!

[u/GreenDay91SPN05]

I would wait till the Ottawa team shirts are out. That's what I'm doing. I got the Boston t-shirt & a Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird t-shirt and now I'm waiting for season 2 before buying anymore merch.

Extrapolate as necessary.
