New Loper Spirit Shop Launches Online Store

ere’s a new way to get Loper gear.

UNK’s Loper Spirit Shop now has an online store where people can purchase apparel, merchandise and other UNK-branded items.

LoperSpiritShop.com features the same great selection found at the on-campus location, with the added convenience of online shopping.

e Loper Spirit Shop opened in August inside the Nebraskan Student Union, where the Antelope Bookstore was formerly located.

e transition away from Barnes & Noble, which operated the Antelope Bookstore, allows the university to oversee general merchandise and apparel at the on-campus store. UNK Communications and Marketing is partnering with the Spirit Shop to help grow the Loper brand.

Since it’s operated by the university instead of an outside company, the Spirit Shop o ers a better selection of apparel and merchandise at competitive prices. Customers can nd national clothing brands such as Under Armour, Champion, Antigua, University Girl and League-Legacy, along with items produced by local vendors.

Michael Christen, director of business services at UNK, said, “We are excited to continue expanding the Loper Spirit Shop o erings to UNK students, faculty, sta , alumni, donors and supporters. e new online store will allow us to reach these individuals across the globe and allow them to show their UNK pride wherever they may be.”

UNK also added a Spirit Shop location at Ron & Carol Cope Stadium at Foster Field for home football games.
