Kolek's new store

How do I buy this t shirt?

At the website listed in the original post

[mutodd5]

I just ordered a couple shirts from http://tylerkolek.com/

Don't get me started on their relationship with the fake news media.

Better to follow the "Fair and Balanced" network.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Those shirts are pretty mid, tbh.

Glad he can make a few shekels.

I'm not sure I speak Ziggy, but if you're saying what I think you're saying...well...somebody had to say it. The shirts are not good (and the website is rough, too). I love the kid, but he should have found someone with some art/design talent. I think we all know exactly how TK would respond to my unsolicited opinion. That said, I hope he makes some serious cash from this venture.

Can some post link to Tyler's actual store please

I'm so hip, I speak teen.

Your interpretation was correct.

Does anyone know if this is actually Tyler's website?  it looks like a scam site.

Embarrassing bio filled with typos "coachespicking",  "Tyler is noa legit candidate . . . "
Refers to Tyler in the 3rd person.
Photos are simply downloaded from the Internet--nothing custom
No links to social channels.
Extremely amateurish look and feel.
Logo background is not cropped and looks like a poor cut-and-paste job
Mediocre, uninspired design of both the page and the shirts themselves
No third-party billing (such as pay-pal) or trust icons.  For all I know my credit card information is going straight into some Nigerian gift card purchase.

It looks like the type of page someone set up to make a quick buck selling a few cheap-looking shirts ahead of the cease and desist order.  It certainly isn't something that is going to establish a strong personal brand and maximize long-term earning opportunities.

This brings up the question of what the hell Marquette is doing to support it's athletes in NIL?  According to this article, MU hired an advisory firm to help players maximize their earning potential under NIL. 

https://247sports.com/college/marquette/Article/Marquette-Athletics-Announces-partnership-with-NIL-advisory-Firm-187125565/
"The Altius team will provide student-athletes, coaches and staff with educational workshops and resources targeting crucial areas such as group licensing, marketing, branding, financial literacy, and recruiting. Moreover, Altius will assist in identifying and advising on emerging opportunities to support the school's more than 300 student-athletes across 16 varsity sports."

This poorly executed website combined with a puny social media following of 1200 Twitter and 8000 Instagram followers for Tyler suggests that our guys aren't getting the best advice from this firm on how to maximize their own NIL.

He tweeted out the link. Its his.

IWB marketing is IWB's company.  Its legit.

[cheebs09]

I'm thinking this is a short-term type of deal to allow Tyler to be paid. I'm not sure he was getting a cut of the other shirts using the quote. I didn't see him advertise those like this.

Tyler also has a partnership with Who's on Third. I think it's fair to question how MU is doing on NIL.

Tyler is a fantastic player, and gonna be BE POY.   He's awesome

The site is not.  Needs a LOT of work.

That said ... I will buy a shirt or two

Who cares what the site looks like? Lol.

It's a popup Championship sale.  It's not to look fancy and stay forever.  It is just an opportunity for a kid to capitalize on a great opportunity for money that the fans truly love.

Not everything needs to be nitpicked.

Unless it's a product I wouldn't be caught dead wearing...

Good luck to TKO though.

My 11 year old has done better websites for school.It would take someone 1 hour to clean that up

And that's on "IWB Marketing, LLC."

[Newsdreams]

Tried to buy one but I couldn't check out, I assume the web traffic has the site bugging out.

TK the top mention in ESPN player of the year out of the Big East-great notoriety for all involved. 

    remember the F'em  well, tyler has internalized that nicely

[IrwinFletcher]

I don't know why, but I am once again amazed at how many people just criticize everything.

IWB did the work to create something that is putting a nice chunk of change into Tyler's pocket.  Maybe $5K, $10K or more.

I haven't seen anyone else do anything like this for a player, so kudos for IWB for doing it.

Several things:

• Quit criticizing everyone's posts and opinions. 
• I doubt IWD did it as a favor...his company IWB Marketing did it. I hope he didn't charge TK very much because the product is not great.
• I hope TK makes a bunch of cash, but we have absolutely no idea how much he will make.
• They should talk to whoever is doing Sean Jones' merch. I'm curious where those are going to be sold.

This is sweet!  I ordered 2 T's and 2 hoodies.
