Fans of soccer living in the United States often feel like an underdog. Their game is frequently maligned as uninteresting, or worse, effeminate, and the sport’s most spectacular matches are rarely broadcast on television (although that is beginning to change). Another problem that us proud Yankee soccer fans run into is that our favorite team’s jerseys are often hard to find. Sure, you can obtain a USA national team jersey online with relative ease, and MLS jerseys are also readily available. But what if you want to rock the Netherlands away jersey, or something more obscure like a barcelona jersey in women’s sizes? One surprising solution is to shop abroad.
One such destination is the Britain-based retailer UkSoccerShop.com, which stocks a wide selection of club and international jerseys. In particular, their inventory of UK-based club jerseys is unmatched, carrying a stock of many hard to find items.
If I were to correctly assume that most of you who are reading this article have never order anything from a UK-based retailer, I can also tell you that ordering from UkSoccerShop is as easy and straightforward as shopping from a US-based website. The site conveniently converts prices into US dollars, and shipping is pretty much in line with what you would have otherwise have to pay, starting at $14 for one or more shirts. Airmail delivery also ensures that you receive your package as quickly as you would expect it via ground mail in the United States.
