World Series Gear


A hearty congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies for making it to the Fall Classic.  

Caps with the World Series patch are always a fantastic memento (but be forewarned - this might sit in your closet collecting dust if your team doesn't win the series).  Also consider the adjustable World Series caps.  

I'm about to make a post arguing that adjustable caps are making a bit of a comeback - so you can be ahead of the curve by picking up a relaxed adjustable cap at reasonable prices.

On the throwback side - we're big fans of these Philadelphia Stars jerseys.  If you live in Philly, these are must haves.

Brrr . . . Preparing for Winter


Autumn is easily the best time to be a sports fan.  I can't say this enough.  Football is now well under way and we're in the midst of the baseball playoffs.  Basketball and hockey are on the horizon and the crisp weather gives sports fans' the opportunity to break out the hooded sweatshirt.  As we've mentioned before, NFL hoodies, by-in-large, are not nearly as cool your classic college hooded sweatshirt. But what other tips should a sports fan be aware of as the weather turns cool?  Well, there are plenty, and you've come to the right place.

The very first thing on your shopping list should be a gray hoodie for your favorite team.  Gray might not be the most exciting color in the rainbow, but it can be worn under zipped or buttoned up jackets like these, or it can be worn underneath your jersey.  This works especially well with football jerseys that might run a bit large on you or when attending a hockey game in an arena kept cool.  

Despite the fact that your hands would be chilly without them, we would recommend against going with these kinds of gloves.  If you're headed to an indoor hockey game - why not try some gray wool gloves instead? For fans attending an outdoor football game - consider a pair of Nike cold weather gloves designed to counter the elements.  

Also for NFL fans, we love these throwback hats - but only for going to games or hanging out with the guys.  Let's be honest, they look a little goofy, but we love 'em anyway.  

Be careful when buying an NFL jacket.  Most of the available jackets look a lot like the Starter Jackets kids were getting in fights for in the early 1990s.  Definitely opt for something a little more adult looking like this.
