For the first time in its 57-year history, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) has launched an on-line store to offer various apparel items to its membership and the general public.
The new CoSIDA E-Store is located at
www.cosida.com/onlinestore and was launched in conjunction with Proforma Collegiate Solutions, one of the association’s newest corporate partners.
The online store will feature polo shirts, caps, and visors plus other items, all branded with the CoSIDA logo for members to show support of their association.
“We’ve had numerous requests for CoSIDA-branded apparel items and, as a result, took advantage of an opportunity to create an online store in partnership with Proforma Collegiate Solutions, one of our corporate partners,” said Doug Vance, CoSIDA Executive Director. “If someone now wants a CoSIDA shirt, hat or jacket, we are able to provide it.”
As part of the licensing agreement, CoSIDA will receive a portion of the proceeds from all items sold.
“We’re thrilled to offer these products to the CoSIDA membership. We see this as a natural off-shoot of our long-term partnership with CoSIDA,” said Ron Fauss, Proforma’s Director of Collegiate Solutions. “Our goal is to provide quality apparel and accessories at affordable prices, and keep inventory relevant to the needs of the professionals of CoSIDA. We’ll also be adding inventory frequently, and taking suggestions on items the membership would like to see.”
