Nothing shows pride in the blue and gold like a drawstring backpack in UWindsor colours with Lancer logo and “evil W” shield, says Martin Deck, marketing co-ordinator of the Campus Bookstore.

“These really make a statement,” he said of the items, new this semester. “And at just $14.95, they’re a great bargain.”

The bags measure about 45 cm deep by 34 cm wide, are made of durable polyester with metal grommets, and feature a secure drawstring closure.

“We have noticed a trend toward this style of bag and hope students will appreciate the low price,” said Deck.

The backpacks are available at the Campus Bookstore, on the lower level of the CAW Student Centre, or through its online catalogue.
