An update for the community:
I hope you’re all enjoying your summer (as much as is possible) and staying safe. Since you’re reading this, you’ll notice that things look a little different on the site. Rob and I are really excited to have launched 213Hoops 2.0, an updated version of the blog that is essentially a full rebuild. You’ll notice significantly upgraded design and performance, as well as a reduction in visual bugs throughout the site.
One of the most pressing big-ticket items in this build was resolving the pervasive issues with logging in, staying logged in, and commenting on 213Hoops. I’m very happy to report that the login and commenting issues have been fully resolved and users who are logged in should be able to regularly comment without hassle. More than anything, we are excited to welcome all of you back into the article comments and forum as the Clippers get back on the court in the coming weeks.
So poke around the new site, check it out, let us know what you think, and chime in in the comments–we’re excited to hear from you!
Another happy note: Robert and I are doing a limited first run of some 213Hoops t-shirts ahead of the playoffs. While we’re still well short of setting up an actual merch store (maybe someday!), we wanted to extend the option to our readers to grab one of these first edition 213Hoops shirts. The shirts will be simple, just the 213Hoops logo on a white crewneck.
For folks in the continental US*, the cost of a shirt is $20, inclusive of all fees and shipping. To order a shirt, send $20 to [email protected] on PayPal**, and then e-mail [email protected] with the following information:
1) Your PayPal account e-mail (to confirm payment)
2) Your preferred size (all shirts are white, crewneck, unisex, adult S-XL***)
3) Your shipping address.
*If you are outside the continental U.S., please e-mail [email protected] before paying so I can determine if shipping a shirt to you is possible, and what the additional shipping costs may be.
**If you do not have a PayPal account or live in a country where you cannot use PayPal, please contact me at [email protected] and I can send you an invoice (does not require a PayPal account) or we can determine if an alternate payment method can be arranged.
***If you would like to request a size or cut other than the options listed above, please let me know and it may be possible to make that happen. I will be able to check for you if it is possible and if there will be any extra cost.
I am placing the order to our apparel partner on Friday, July 17th with the exact number of shirts in each size needed, so anyone interested in a shirt should please reach out to me by Thursday, July 16th. The order takes 2-3 weeks to fulfill and then I will receive the bulk order and ship the shirts out individually, so my hope is to have them to everyone by the start of the playoffs, if not sooner.
