BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic has announced plans for its first full-arena men’s basketball t-shirt giveaway during Thursday’s “Sandstorm” game as the Owls welcome SMU for a crucial American Conference match-up on ESPN2 at 7 p.m.
Thanks to the generosity of Shiner Law Group, sand-colored t-shirts will be on every seat in Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena when fans arrive for Thursday’s sold-out game. The team is set to wear its special sand-colored adidas jerseys for the game and fans are encouraged to wear the t-shirt on their seat in an effort to make the Elly’s atmosphere even more electric.
“Our fans have meant so much to us and this is small token of our appreciation,” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian White. “I want to thank Shiner for stepping up for this initiative and we can’t wait to see what the arena looks like with all of our fans wearing the shirt. We have one of the most unique atmospheres in the country and this will only enhance that.”
The custom-designed Florida Atlantic Basketball “Sandstorm” shirt is exclusive to Thursday’s game and won’t be sold in stores.
Florida Atlantic is 20-6 overall, while SMU brings a 19-7 record to Boca. The teams are tied for third place in the AAC, each with 10-3 conference marks. Thursday’s game sponsor is Florida Lottery Bright Futures.
