How about a snowman of a surfer on a board, riding a wave in the snow? Now that would be different.
Sell towels as good a quality as what SPMA and Mission Viejo had for LCM Regionals, instead of High Point just put 2005 LCM Masters Nationals. I get so tired of buying low quality stuff just because they say US Masters on it.
Surfer shirts with the meet logo, again quality.
Now if you can get Gary Hall and some of the other Old timers from this Olympics to swim Long Course Nationals next year!
Have some of the past ( and present) Mission Viejo greats to show up and swim?
How about a pin?
I remember trading pins with other teams when I was I kid, and we buy a bunch of stuff at the Frozen four like:
Other ideas:
key chain with logo
baseball hat with logo
(silly) little beanie bears
bandanas
mugs with logo
Drinking glasses with logo
Sunglasses with logo
I understand that this is just a bunch of stuff, but it's ideas none the less...
I still like the pin idea the best.

Wow - sounds like a Christmas of a meet with all these proposed "presents"! All great ideas. We did commemorative deck passes for our most recent zone meet ... laminated cards that had the meet logo graphics on them ... which went over pretty good. They weren't expensive to do either.
I think you may have missunderstood, these are going to be souvenirs available for purchase in the gift shop.
So, when you are thinking wow, this is neat, think wow, this is neat, I'd spend 5, 10, 15, 20 or so bucks on it... not in wow, I'm getting all this for free.
We do have a plan for nice goodie bags too, but the contents of those will depend on the generosity of our sponsors. Traditionally at our one meets the goodie bags had sports bars, sunscreen, lip balms, etc. in them along with some flyers and advertisements. We're hoping we'll have a chance to step it up a little bit for the nationals. We'll see.
We just had or zone meet too, and did credentials for the staff/officials and VIP's. I'm not sure what exactly we'll do for the nationals... I'm hoping to have credentials for everyone... There's still time to plan it all.
I've been looking for a T-shirt I saw at one of my kid's meets.
It has the "Priceless" theme ending with:
"Explaining to my friends why my son shaves his legs: Priceless"
I would love to buy that T-shirt with "explaining to my friends why my husband shaves his legs..." for my wife.
It would be a cool shirt with the meet logo in front.

Connie, you've forgotten the logo for bottles of VO2MAX shampoo...
Oh my! :eek:
How could I have forgotten that!
I shall attempt to procure an exclusive license just for our nationals! ;)
Better put a warning on those coffee mugs that the contents are very hot and can cause burns. If you're expecting international swimmers you may need to do it in more than one language, just to limit your liability.
Bob, I think they're hoping you'll buy these souvenirs.
