Being stuck in Sacramento sure sucks. I checked out a few stores to see if they had any Spurs gear. The first store, the Sports Authority, had no gear whatsoever. Next, I checked into a sports shop at the mall to see if they had some. They had a total of ONE Duncan jersey and they returned ths Spurs championship gear because it was the wrong size. What pisses me off is that they had plenty of Laker gear. For such a anti-Laker town like Sacrmaneto, it is the ultimate in sports fan hypocrisy. Anything similar in other NBA cities around the country?

P.S. it doesn't matter to me. I just got my EN Champs!!! t-shirt and will proudly wear it tonight and will recieve a bunch of stuff from my brother in a few days. Nevertheless, it seems that Spurs don't get the respect they deserved.

Yep. In Philly you will find AI, Bryant, Shaq.........and the occasional Yao and McGrady. T-shirts and hats? Very, very hard to find. You should try Sports Favorites...I'm not sure if they have stores in the west coast.

You think it's bad in Cali...try Finding West coast team stuff in the East coast!

They're suppose to have all different kinds of jerseys. Just as Foot Locker and all those other mainstream athletic stores.

Has anyone tried Ebay?? I've seen and sold quite a few championship items on Ebay.. The hats are reasonable and locker room shirts are getting cheaper!! If you want or are looking for something in particular let me know, I'll help you out if I can! I can get just about anything your looking for, just PM me! :smokin

I don't think it's about respect as much as there simply isn't a demand for Spurs gear in Sacramento. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt you will find gear for a lot of other teams, besides the Kings and some other California teams.

That being said, you can order stuff through most sporting good stores, like Sports Authority. They have quite a bit of stuff on their web site and I'm sure you can order it through the customer service dept. at your local store. That way, your parents won't have to worry about ordering online.

It's ridiculous in LA too. You see tons of Sacramento gear for sale everywhere even though I never see anyone wear Kings gear anymore out here. It's much easier to find Spurs gear in LA now than it was 2 years ago though, when I had to follow on a tip from Tod Tango before I could find a Duncan jersey.

I at least found 3 Spurs caps to choose from when I went looking for one at Foxhill Mall down on Slauson right before the playoffs started.

Search the web, that's what I do, I got loads of shirts shipped from Texas based stores. The hats? I'm not much of a hat wearer but, you can find those aswell going around for 23 or less.

I dont like to pay 16 dollar shipping on items ordered off the internet. But here in SA you cannot find all the home jerseys all the time but you can find Atlanta Jerseys Miami Jerseys and Laker Jerseys here, because of the big market those teams bring. You never see Memphis jerseys or Minnesota jerseys because of their small respective markets.
