[2015] Track Jackets Update

[Jessica Yang]

Dear Class,

I hope you all are doing well. I'm writing to provide an update regarding,
as you've likely heard, modifications and ordering for our track jackets.
Please note that the current order form is not in effect. Should there be
changes to the current plan (adidas jackets with 2015 logo on back), any
orders that have been placed will be disregarded (no charges to techcash
have been made) and a new order form will be sent out after we receive
everyone's input.

This year, myself and your council tried to cut costs by working with a new
vendor (the COOP), who also provided us with the rare opportunity of
ordering Adidas "classic" track jackets, at a significantly discounted
price (MSRP $65 down to $27). We adopted their recommendation, but in
retrospect realize it would be best to consult all of the 2015s. I
understand that many of us were excitedly looking forward to the Charles
River brand jackets that we've all seen 2013's and 2014's wearing (MSRP
$49.90), and would prefer that our class order those instead.

To create take into account everyone's opinions, we've made a *form* with
several track jacket options, incorporating the feedback that was possible.
(Please keep in mind that MIT is now enforcing very detailed design
rules<http://mit.edu/graphicidentity/>
.) It also includes approximate pricing, which the COOP is still
negotiating for us. The expected subsidization is $5/jacket, as the
sweatshirts had been.) If it so interests you, please contribute to the
decision by submitting the following

 by *Monday, October 7th, at 11:59 PM*.

Take care, and please don't hesitate to email me or 2015council at mit.edu with
any questions.

Yours,
Jessica and the 2015 Class Council
