We’re proud to announce the debut of LimbGear®- a line of MP3-enabled performance wear available exclusively at Campus Emporium!
Advances in technology have made it possible for us to take music everywhere via iPods and MP3 players. But even the smallest player can be a burden when you’re walking to class or working out. Enter LimbGear®…
LimbGear® uses simple but innovative design to allow hands-free listening with your favorite MP3 player. Available in hats, ear bands, scarves, armbands, and even hoodies; there’s a LimbGear® product that fits your lifestyle!

Using LimbGear® is easy! Simply thread your earbuds through the channels in the product. Connect your buds to your player and tuck your player into the pocket. Now, Hit play and hit the road! Campus Emporium even sells earbuds with shorter cords to allow for sleek and tidy use.

LimbGear®’s latest innovation is the InterActive™ Hoodio- a screen-printed hoodie with the ability to control your iPod right on the sleeve. Using hidden channels within the garment, your earbuds run from your player (contained in a hidden pocket) to your ears. Your player then connects to the PANiQ controller, allowing you to play, skip, pause, and more, simply by touching the control pad on the sleeve! The Hoodio is now available at Campus Emporium and will soon be available in our online store.

On behalf of the Hokie Bird and all gobblers everywhere, Campus Emporium begs Hokie fans around the world to spare the lives of our feathered friends this Thanksgiving. Each year billions of innocent turkeys meet their Maker throughout the holiday season, and we say it’s time to stop the slaughter (or just slaughter something else).

Without further ado, Campus Emporium is proud to announce its support of G.O.B.B.L.- Gibleted Objectors to Birds Becoming Leftovers. G.O.B.B.L. was founded in 2006 by a small flock of friends troubled by the annual cooking and devouring of their brethren. Rather than live in fear and denial, the flock decided it was time to take action.

Among G.O.B.B.L.’s most notable achievements are the Million Beak March on Washington, the Cranberry Sauce Boycott of 2007, and several organized “prison breaks” from major poultry farms across the country.

This year G.O.B.B.L. has decided to use the media to spread its message, launching a multi-million dollar ad campaign advocating the consumption of ham over turkey. A spokespig for S.L.O.P (Saving Lives of Pigs) could not be reached for comment.

Campus Emporium has joined forces with G.O.B.B.L. to advocate the consumption of alternative meats for the Holiday season. May we offer the following suggestions…

• Ham. Pigs are cute, but unfortunately are very tasty. Serve it up on our Stadium Platter.
• Venison. Bag one while wearing ourVT Hunt Club Tee.
• Beef. Burgers anyone? It’s never too cold to grill!
• Fish. It’s healthy and delicious, especially in stick form. And kids love ‘em. too!
• Tofu. Errr… Ummm… Might we suggest a wine to pair with it? Get something with an angry-looking animal on the label. And get two of them.
• Ice cream! Hell, you only go around once.

If you would like to join G.O.B.B.L. in its efforts to save the turkeys, show your support by wearing one of these great tees…
