Emory Announces True Spirit Online Athletic Store In Partnership With Barnes & Noble

Emory University Athletics is proud to announce it has partnered with Barnes & Noble College, a leading operator of college bookstores in the United States and the current operator of the Barnes & Noble at Emory University Bookstore and bookstore website, to power the school’s official True Spirit online athletic store at emoryeaglesfanshop.com.

The new online athletic store delivers an enhanced shopping experience to Emory fans, alumni and families. As the largest retailer of collegiate logoed Under Armour merchandise, Barnes & Noble College will offer a wide selection of official Eagles apparel and merchandise — in the most popular brands including, Nike, Champion, Columbia and Under Armour — spanning every product category.  

“We are pleased to provide our Emory Eagle fans across the country the opportunity to conveniently purchase merchandise to proudly show their support of our athletics program,” said Dr. Michael Vienna, Clyde Partin Sr. Director of Athletics.  “Partnering our championship program with the championship level of support and services provided by Barnes & Noble is a perfect fit for us and our supporters.”

The Emory True Spirit online athletic store features new product categories, seamless navigation, a quick checkout process and a variety of shipping methods. Fans will also benefit from the convenience of a physical retail presence for easy pickups, returns or exchanges at the campus bookstore. With a physical location right on campus, the Emory True Spirit online athletic site offers the added convenience of ordering online ahead of time and picking up on game day right at the campus store — something other online retailers cannot offer.

The Emory True Spirit online athletic store will also connect with the Emory University school and athletics calendars, promoting the key events that truly resonate with fans and alumni, whether it’s homecoming, a special event or celebrating a team or individual championship.

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Emory University to deliver fans an exceptional shopping experience,” said Patrick Maloney, President of Barnes & Noble College. “As the current operators of the Barnes & Noble at Emory University bookstore, we’ll continue to offer an unmatched assortment of official Emory merchandise coupled with our outstanding customer service.”
