Do you remember your first TCNJ sweatshirt? I know I do! I was so excited to transfer here last year that my first stop was to the bookstore on Accepted Students Day, and I pretty much bought everything in sight.
Some of my t-shirts have shrunk, though, and now more than ever is the perfect time to stock up on more TCNJ apparel and knickknacks just in time for homecoming this Saturday, October 20. From hats to t-shirts to shot glasses and more, our bookstore has everything you need to get your blue and gold on at the tailgate. Check out these 15 TCNJ-inspired items for under $25 to decide for yourself just how you’re going to celebrate being a lion this weekend!
