Save $$ on Jerseys for the Kids

Athletic jerseys can be very expensive; in fact, they easily may cost a couple hundred dollars for adult sizes and children sizes can go up to $100. These prices are difficult for many consumers to pay, especially in the current recession and moms that want to buy their child a team jersey and feed the kid may not want to pay such a high amount. Most moms are more concerned about spending money on diapers and food rather than football jerseys and sports memorabilia that costs as much as the car insurance of two vehicles; so when Mom wants to buy a player’s jersey for father and son to match, they should stay away from expensive retail. To save a lot of money on sports apparel, step out of the overpriced sport stores. Right now.

TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are excellent stores to shop first to find terrific deals on jerseys and team merchandise at far better prices than just about any other retail store. This Christmas, a Mom would have found an authentic Kobe Bryant 24 Lakers jersey for only $16.99.

That shirt would retail for at least $35.00 almost anywhere else and this wasn’t a lame copy that some stores sell in order to bank on the trends, it was an official replica. Cheap imitations are fine for some but their appearance will differ from the actual jerseys and logos the players wear in games.

Find NBA apparel like this at TJ Maxx and Marshall’s stores For more discounted stores, try Ross as well or Kohl’s stores before and during the sport’s season instead of high-priced athletic outlets.

The city shoppers live in will likely carry the nearest team’s merchandise such as the southern California area will carry jerseys for the L.A. Lakers, San Diego Chargers, and Oakland Raiders which are available throughout the state.

Today, Wal-Mart stores are close to almost every shopper in any state and if not, walmart.com is another excellent resource for team apparel. For example: My mom bought an adult satin Peyton Manning 18 Colts jersey for only $27 and 97 cent shipping last Christmas. Typically, those store fronts that sell jerseys, will sell the local teams and most popular players, so online shopping will erase that problem if you live a thousand miles from the team your family roots for.

Even though some fans don’t live even close to Indianapolis, theyare able to find a nice jersey for adult and children sizes at very affordable prices. Walmart.com sells fan merchandise for almost any team in major sports no matter where you live at deep discounts over athletic store prices and even their sale prices. This jersey on the right can be found at http://www.walmart.com/ for $27.

If new, old, or gently used items are fine with you, then Ebay and Amazon will save moms a big bundle of cash. Moms can search dozens of places to find their daughter or son a real jersey for the NFL Indianapolis Colts, but smart shoppers learn to skip the mall and finally search online to find another mom selling her son’s old jersey he had grown out of.

The one to the left was purchased on Ebay last season and most couldn’t even tell it was ever worn and yet they would have paid hardly anything for it. Now her son’s jersey is an authentic identical replica that was purchased on Ebay for only $12 and that is including shipping!

Craigslist.org can be helpful once in a while but also may be a hit and miss. If you live in the area where the team merchandise is sold than finding a New York Giants jersey in New York and New Jersey may not be that hard but for residents in Chicago, you will likely find people selling Bears’ gear instead and now Giants’ wants to see that.
