April 6, 2000

Coral Gables, FL – The University of Miami athletic department and FANSOnly has teamed up with All Sports, one of the top Hurricane merchandise suppliers, on its web site at www.hurricanesports.com.

“This partnership will allow us to continue to grow our retail business through the internet,” said Patrick Nero, Associate Athletic Director. “Miami Hurricane merchandise has always sold well throughout the country and even internationally. On-line sales will play a major role in future growth for this merchandise.

“Bringing together partners such as All Sports and FANSOnly helps all of us in our efforts to further promote the University of Miami.”

“This is a great opportunity to unite the University of Miami and All Sports to make Hurricane merchandise available on a national basis everywhere,” said All Sports Manager Harry Rothwell.

“My goal is to have `Canes merchandise available for anyone who wants to buy at any time for all holidays, birthdays, anniversaries or just any occasion. Being on line with the University’s official site will make all of that possible.”

The Hurricane’s new logos and uniforms will be unveiled at CanesFest this Saturday at the Orange Bowl from 9-noon.

The new logos will also be displayed online at www.hurricanesports.com on Saturday at 9 a.m.
