Introducing our new series — Pike’s Picks. In honor of our monthly limited drops, we will have two Pi Kappa Alpha alumni give their favorite merch from our new collection.
For March, our theme for this drop is basketball in honor of the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments that will be going on in a couple of weeks. Here’s what fellow Pikes have to say on which tees are their favorites.
Chase Pondel (Graphic Designer, Theta Omnicron ‘24):
“One of the overlooked details of a basketball is its branding. Names like Wilson and Spalding are iconic in the basketball world, while NCAA, NBA, and March Madness logos add a distinct touch that ties the ball to a specific division or event.”
“When designing the
Pike Midnight Madness Tee I wanted to take that concept and make it unique to the fraternity, integrating its name into the ball’s branding. It’s a simple idea, but the final design turned out great. The basketball creates a cool visual, while the bold athletic font balances the tee, making it a great piece for any fraternity basketball fan.”
Tommy Spaletto (Marketing & Communications Coordinator, Delta Xi ‘24):
“If I had to pick a favorite from the limited drop, I’d have to go with the Pike Dunk Dynasty Short Sleeve Tee. It’s inspired by last year’s Final Four logo, so it definitely comes from a place of March Madness being one of my favorite times of the sports calendar.”
“I love how the Pike letters, name on the back, and founding year are such a valuable part of this t-shirt. The basketball with the Pike crest in the middle embodies the spirit of March and it’s a comfy fit when you can just sit around and watch games all day with your friends.”
