@@afcaestheticshorts Sadly, not at all, outside of a few select areas in the country. Despite how much the sport has grown here-which, to be fair, it has grown compared to the last few decades, it’s still primarily seen as either a youth sport or a foreign sport.
I live in the usa and it is not that hard to find football shirts, I got a Orlando jersey for 8 dollars, 25 dollars home Italy top, and 25 dollars match fit Cincinnati jersey and 5 dollars for 2004 earthquake kit
@@awaydaysfootball US everything is overpriced especially football/soccer kits Cost me $120 for a pulisic Chelsea shirt from this season and $90 for a blank Atlanta United kit 🤦♂️
Coming from an American, I had a feeling it wouldn't be that many shirts to find. I will say that the ones that you and Jodie found were pretty good, especially that Atlanta United long-sleeved one. Thank goodness for online stores like Arsenal Direct! 🙂
As someone who is based in Southern California, I can tell you the varying degrees of football shirt hunting. Luckily, there is a more of a football culture in this area. Ross, TJ Maxx, Ross, Burlington, and Marshall's contain these items. But the hidden gems are the specialty soccer stores with everything there. Great video, Ellis 👍
Ya I'm in nor cal and its similar. I've always thought its really weird that TJ maxx, Ross, n Marshalls carry random, low prices football shirts, but I've found some great stuff there!
same , i am in socal , from time to time i check the local soccer shops but mostly the stores you mentioned , from time to time you find a holy grail . like back in the day there was nike sbs dunks at ross lol the good ol days before the hype culture
Stopped a Thogden vid to immediately watch this one when it posted 😆 In the US, $90 is for the Replica/Stadium version of the shirt. A Player Spec shirt will go for $120 - $140. If you add a player name set, add another $20 - $30. Adidas has had a lock on MLS since 2005, no sign of that changing anytime soon. Try searching the charity shops. Savers, Goodwill, Salvation Army. There may be others in the Orlando area, dunno. EDIT : Watched to the end, you did find some thrift shops 👍
Went to a Pelé soccer shop at Disneyland a few weeks ago and you’re right, it was a major tourist trap. They had this year’s shirts for a lot of clubs but the prices were marked up to like $150 for each shirt
Recently gotten massively into MLS and it has renewed my love of football. Found your videos because of that and it’s great to see a fan who loves collecting the shirts like I do. I’d bloody love that Nashville shirt, it looks great!
As a fan from Boston, I look in thrift stores around here and find some great shirts pretty often! Just this past weekend I found the 2011-12 Barça shirt in amazing condition for $4 in a thrift store! Not to mention that Boston has a pretty strong group of Liverpool supporters, so you can find some a fair amount of Liverpool gear in stores around here. Awesome finds (especially that pumas shirt) and great vid.
@@lilkidd3886 I totally wish I could get them! Send me some? Lol. I used to live in Chicago years ago, can't believe I never saw any, but I was at school mostly
I'm a football shirt collector that lives in a smaller city in Wisconsin, of all places... I have found dozens of football shirts, scarves, jackets, hats, and other items over the years... but it takes a lot of patience and returning to multiple stores over and over again in order to get those lucky finds. My absolutely best thirft find -- an adult small Arsenal "bruised banana" shirt for $3.
Love you showing America some love from an American. Your videos are always class, and I’d love to see football become a more popular sport over here. Thanks Ellis!
The Pumas shirt is an absolute stunner. Would like to see team kits outside the UK being available in places like JD Sports, because I’d be all over that deal.
As someone that lives in the orlando area ive gone through the same thing that Ellis has. Only full priced and recent kits are available and only very few stores have them. But im glad they found Ross, the only place that kits are at good prices and everyday they restock so its always different.
Brilliant episode Ellis. Enjoyed that one! Love that Nashville shirt, got a thing for yellow football shirts lol but that Pumas shirt is something else. Decent finds!
I've actually gotten some pretty good shirts while thrifting at Goodwill/Marshall's. Juventus' 2019/20 away for 13 dollars, USA's 2016 home jersey for 8 dollars, and AS Roma's 09/10 home jersey for 7 dollars.
Honestly it depends on where you go in the US. It's not the same as in Europe, where every bag of donated clothes has a football shirt. You need to specifically go to Goodwills or thrifts in certain areas with higher hispanic or european immigrant populations. Have to also look at "hype culture" second-hand or vintage shops/fairs. They have no clue how to price stuff. Gotta be much more tactical, but it can totally be done once you find your spots and rhythm.
Watched 1 vid last week. Never heard of you before. Since then I have binged nearly every video! Your content is unique, clever and hilarious. You are the go-to for football content on UA-cam. Loving it!
Never too much in discounted shirts, but here in SoCal, lots of places have football shirts. There in a place near me in Fountain Valley that is all football shirts including lots of old ones. Discounts aren't on the tags, but the owner ALWAYS discounts everything!
Toronto and Mississauga with value Village aura other thrift/discount stores are amazing. I live in Toronto and I visit Mississauga quite often and by far the best fines I’ve ever got were from Mississauga, black out 2012 New York Cosmo anniversary Training jacket and retro release of a Peru sweatshirt that I’ve only found one person selling which is over 600(don’t believe it’s that valuable but no one else has it)
Being from Canada, purchasing football shirts not available (retail authentic player cut) here in Canada sucks. Exchange rate, import fees/taxe/shipping and handling will make you question whether to make the purchase again or just buy a fake counterfeit shirt (which I would 100 percent not recommend).
@@RUmlasGenuinely it’s the worst, even bigger stores like sport Chek and Adidas don’t carry them and if they do it’s completely overpriced. Our only hope is to look on sites but even then as you mention currency exchange rate and import charges is just awful, like I bought a Napoli training top on eBay for $45 but I had to spend 70 maybe 80 Canadian because import charges and the currency exchange rate Thrift stores and outlet malls are your only hope and that’s not for authentic that you have to be extremely lucky for
@@bossgran3264 I’ve been extremely lucky to find a jersey at winners and Marshall’s now and then but I live in Sask. Bigger cities tend to have more but yeah sport chek is still selling euro jerseys for like 50 bucks when they should be 25 if not less now
@@ammarmoolla8229 yea they sometimes get stuff,rare but it’s there. Yeah even a couple of days ago I found BNWT burnley 19/20 shirt for 20$ in a vintage shop,not bad.
Aside from the fact soccer competes with four other major sports, Adidas and Fanatics (fast fashion) have an exclusive deal with MLS so it’s almost always newer items in stores (at full price). If you wanted to find older shirts from around the world there are specialty stores but they are rare and usually in larger cities like NY or LA. Obviously it’s easier and cheaper to find European shirts in Europe. Soccer is considered a premium sport here - even at the youth level it’s “pay-to-play”. Basketball is the closest thing to Soccer in Europe on a community level and it’s still very different.
Haha Ross and Burlington have always been my go to places for jerseys here in America. The Nashville jersey, for whatever reason, has been very common lately. Last year in the summer there were a lot of international jerseys.
Goodwill, Savers, Thrift. That’s it, and it’s extremely rare. That Goodwill looks WAY BETTER than any in the Midwest. Brand shops are always overpriced unless you hit a sale.
i 100% agree with what you said at the end of the video. this series is way more entertaining when its a grind and youre havng a hard time finding stuff! appreciate the content
In store shops are awfully expensive. Thrift stores are probably the best place to find anything, I’ve been very lucky here in Canada in Toronto and Mississauga. Found a black out New York Cosmos anniversary training jacket that I can’t find anywhere else and it was sitting in a thrift store :}
Glad I was able to find this channel! I basically do the same thing and have found some amazing jerseys for the low! I usually go to the adidas outlet in between mid season to end of season to get Real Madrid and Mexico Jerseys for as low as $25 depending on their deals and clearance racks!
As a football shirt collector in the US, it’s so hard to find shirts and when he said $90 for a football shirt was expensive that’s what I usually pay for all of mine
Get yourself down to House of Football in Highland Park, LA. Mind you, a bit like shooting fish in a barrel - and none are cheap - but still, what a place, what a collection.
Ellis if you ever go to New York City. I would highly suggest that you take a trip to Northern New Jersey for discount soccer shirts there are a lot of great places in Newark and around Red Bull Arena. Sidebar, I find it really funny how much Atlanta United stuff you find in the Orlando area considering how big of a rival they are with Orlando.
It's REALLY easy to find football shirts here in America...its just that you probably won't find many professional club shirts. You can find tons of youth, high school and college jerseys at second-hand stores, but people tend to keep their pro jerseys
I’m not a shirt collector but I do sometimes see myself wanting to start but here in America I don’t see tons of football shirts. Nike never has any at the outlets (where you went) and my adidas usually does. Last time I went they had replica Germany World Cup shirts, Mexico World Cup shirts, Man United’s neon shirt (ugly), Real Madrids lavender shirt and Atlanta United’s recycled shirt (idk some thing of like recycled plastics into shirts it’s weird). If I ever started shirt collecting I’m 100% looking online. The only kits at regular retail stores here are gonna be Atlanta United shirts and mainly due to the fact Atlanta has maybe the best fan base in MLS. There are actually people at our games and we commonly sell out Mercedes Benz which is maybe 60K+ (it’s hard to know exactly since they do close off the upper decks)
When I went to the Mexico vs Brazil London olympics 2012 footy final at Wembley, I met a Mexican couple who worked for Pumas (UNAM) and ever since then I wanted one of their shirts. Got one in a mystery box last year. Their shirts are some of the best. So nice and that one you got is a very cool one
The Jimi/Sounders shirt needs another star after last night! Some in the crowd of 67,214 started a "we want Liver pool" chant! Good call on Ross for shirts, that's your best bet. 2nd hand stores are hard because shirts haven't been sold long here. Enjoy your trip and Go Sounders!!
My next "find" needs to be a rare South American League shirt. Been collecting shirts since 1998 and love this series!! Travel and football shirts. Perfect
Seeing this video makes me miss old jersey hunting. Found a man united home kit, dortmund home kit, and Bayern away kit before at retail stores like Ross
I'm not gonna say where you are, but I am going to say that I stayed at that exact same hotel when I moved here. All I'm gonna say is that Walmart was just to your right while you were filming the intro. Hope you have fun in the city!
Pur is Puerto Rico. That was the Puerto Rican flag. It is how the country is represented like for the Olympics. PU for Puerto and R for Rico. Olympics uses 3 letter abbreviations
What I have learnt more than the availability (or otherwise) of football shirts, is that booking s twin-room means you can have an argument with your other half and storm off to sleep on your own, without needing to book a second room! That's thrifty-planning! 🤪
Currently collecting shirts to auction for Ty Hafan kids charity in Wales, I recently found a 1980s Feyenoord away for £3 in a charity shop. Happy days. Great video again 💪💪⚽🎽👕
You should try coming to western Canada…. Might even be harder to find shirts… especially anything that isn’t from the big clubs and from the current year… classic shirts - good luck
Love the vid. I'm from atlanta and recently lost some weight so my ATL jerseys don't fit anymore so i would love to get that XL. Much love from america
You've not added the tax on for these shirts, which isn't included in the tag price in the US. So the conversions aren't quite accurate... Some nice finds though, the Pumas shirt is lovely.
Shame you couldn’t find too much, although that was expected considering it’s America. Loved the video though regardless, as well as that Pumas shirt 🔥
Damn you found my best kept secret Ross! If you go to areas around the country that don’t care for the sport, that is where you find the best things at Ross. Montana, Vegas, Long Beach, Alabama, I’ve found Barca, Spain World Cup, Brazil, MTY, Italia, of course ATL. huge Atl supporter and I travel for work, I’ve found our jerseys for the same price at Ross all over the country. Ross is the place.
I live like 25 minutes north east of Orlando and I'll find brand new MLS and even European shirts at TJ Maxx for 20 bucks. Never for a team I support, but I've seen Charlotte, LA Galaxy, Seattle, Portland, Kansas City, Chicago, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Juve, AC Milan, Real and Atletico Madrid, Spain, Mexico, Canada, and more just randomly sitting on the clearance shelf.
I love this. Welcome to Ross, where I find most of my MLS jerseys. Actually just found that same Nashville jersey a few weeks ago at a Ross in Indianapolis.
@@awaydaysfootball ty for the quick comment back. I actually commented too soon into watching the video lol I have quite a few Atlanta United jerseys I've gotten at Ross. Most recently got a sleeveless training top. About a year ago there was a boom at all those stores: Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington. I miss those days. Could find all sorts of soccer/football shirts all over.
There’s a shop in the UK pavilion at EPCOT which normally has some football tops in it. It’s usually just the current home and away tops for the top 5 in the PL and sometimes Celtic as well.
No surprise that Ross, Marshall's and Burlington are where most of the good stuff is. They tend to get stock of what doesn't sell at the bigger stores and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to where things end up regionally. For example, Nashville kits that didn't sell in Tennessee Adidas shops could end up in Nebraska's discount stores. I found an Ivory Coast kit at my local Ross, and through a soccer swap FB group I'm in have bought several kits that folks have picked at Ross's, Marshall's, etc. around the country...Slovenia, El Salvador, FC Cincinnati, to name a few. I know St. Pauli kits were showing up at random stores not too long ago. It's a complete crapshoot, but it's kind of also the only non-mainstream teams source of kits people can find locally in America.
I have been in dozens of Nike outlets across North America, including the Nike Employee Store in Beaverton and have NEVER seen a soccer shirt in one of them.
Next time you come to the US... I highly recommend you visit "Burlington"... It is a variety store kind of like TJ Maxx (Or TK Maxx in your case)... But lately I've found football gear in it... Last time I found a Borussia Mönchengladbach And the Czech Republic jersey at a really good price... Another time I found the Mexico national team jacket too... So idea for your next video 😎
as a DIE HARD Chivas fan (Club America biggest rivals) when they found the chivas shirt and he said, " Oh club America" my heart shattered and my jaw dropped 😔
Everything's from overseas. The shipping and handling alone is expensive,coupled with the fact that it's not a major sport. No such thing as too many discounts and deals on them here. Maybe NYC?
It's actually incredible to see that people over in England and the UK actually love the MLS. If you're not from Ohio, Seattle/Portland or LA, the MLS is basically a non-factor here.
It’s painful being a football ⚽️ fan in USA. I remember like back in 2014 it was impossible to find anything I used to have order everything online. Nowadays it’s easier to find Kits like as a Dortmund fan twelve years ago when I used to go to stores to find our kits it was impossible to find. Now when I go to puma I always see our kits in store. Football ⚽️ is growing thankfully in USA.
i’m from houston tx and i’m just now learning that it’s that impossible for people in the US, down here everyone is into football mostly because of the diversity and big hispanic population, there’s football jerseys everywhere and in every thrift
Coming from someone in North Carolina there actually common to find the other day they had long sleeve inter Miami jerseys, they had 4 of the Nashville ones you found, fc Cincinnati player issue for 25, lafc all in the same store ( Ross) depends in the area
As someone who lives in the states, and visits Orlando frequently, the teams you tend to find are the local nfl ones. Anything “soccer” as it’s called here is damn near impossible.
As a British guy who loves the mls I'm so impressed by the Atlanta shirt, would love to find that in the 🇬🇧, also would love that Nashville shirt too
British crumppsss

I'm not gonna say where you are, but I am going to say that I stayed at that exact same hotel when I moved here. All I'm gonna say is that Walmart was just to your right while you were filming the intro. Hope you have fun in the city!
havent even got into the vid and already know its going to be a banger
thx for highlited comment ellis
Pur is Puerto Rico. That was the Puerto Rican flag. It is how the country is represented like for the Olympics. PU for Puerto and R for Rico. Olympics uses 3 letter abbreviations
What I have learnt more than the availability (or otherwise) of football shirts, is that booking s twin-room means you can have an argument with your other half and storm off to sleep on your own, without needing to book a second room! That's thrifty-planning! 🤪
Currently collecting shirts to auction for Ty Hafan kids charity in Wales, I recently found a 1980s Feyenoord away for £3 in a charity shop. Happy days. Great video again 💪💪⚽🎽👕
Welcome to Football Shirt Hun’ing 😃 buzzin’ to watch the new video!
would have lost my patience with how big those stores were - nice finds though, was shocked that anything was found at all 😂
You should try coming to western Canada…. Might even be harder to find shirts… especially anything that isn’t from the big clubs and from the current year… classic shirts - good luck
Class vid Ellis. Great to see the variety in the usa
Loved the video dude. That Leftwich Jags jersey might have been a real gem someday 😂.
Love the vid. I'm from atlanta and recently lost some weight so my ATL jerseys don't fit anymore so i would love to get that XL. Much love from america
You've not added the tax on for these shirts, which isn't included in the tag price in the US. So the conversions aren't quite accurate... Some nice finds though, the Pumas shirt is lovely.
Shame you couldn’t find too much, although that was expected considering it’s America. Loved the video though regardless, as well as that Pumas shirt 🔥
Damn you found my best kept secret Ross! If you go to areas around the country that don’t care for the sport, that is where you find the best things at Ross. Montana, Vegas, Long Beach, Alabama, I’ve found Barca, Spain World Cup, Brazil, MTY, Italia, of course ATL. huge Atl supporter and I travel for work, I’ve found our jerseys for the same price at Ross all over the country. Ross is the place.
love the nashville shirt! might be heading there over the summer to check out the new stadium
What an absolute legend, best channel on youtube
Up the Nashville 👍🏻 got family over there can’t wait to go watch them play and the new stadium is unbelievable!!! ⚽️
I live like 25 minutes north east of Orlando and I'll find brand new MLS and even European shirts at TJ Maxx for 20 bucks. Never for a team I support, but I've seen Charlotte, LA Galaxy, Seattle, Portland, Kansas City, Chicago, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Juve, AC Milan, Real and Atletico Madrid, Spain, Mexico, Canada, and more just randomly sitting on the clearance shelf.
Here in Texas the only jerseys you can find in big supply is club America chivas or other Mexican clubs
I love this. Welcome to Ross, where I find most of my MLS jerseys. Actually just found that same Nashville jersey a few weeks ago at a Ross in Indianapolis.
Class! Hope you find the Atlanta too!
@@awaydaysfootball ty for the quick comment back. I actually commented too soon into watching the video lol I have quite a few Atlanta United jerseys I've gotten at Ross. Most recently got a sleeveless training top. About a year ago there was a boom at all those stores: Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington. I miss those days. Could find all sorts of soccer/football shirts all over.
i’ve just started collecting football shirts. would love to have that nashville one. love the video
Very impressed you went there and managed to find what you found!
I find that in football shirt videos u think about buying the shirts they get but realise how expensive it is
New here found your channel by random, i ❤️ the whole concept of football shirt hunting.
I was today years old when I found out that America has JD
There’s a shop in the UK pavilion at EPCOT which normally has some football tops in it. It’s usually just the current home and away tops for the top 5 in the PL and sometimes Celtic as well.
Best series on the channel as always
You should get the NYCFC volt kit it’s a bit crazy but it feels like something you like.
No surprise that Ross, Marshall's and Burlington are where most of the good stuff is. They tend to get stock of what doesn't sell at the bigger stores and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to where things end up regionally. For example, Nashville kits that didn't sell in Tennessee Adidas shops could end up in Nebraska's discount stores.
I found an Ivory Coast kit at my local Ross, and through a soccer swap FB group I'm in have bought several kits that folks have picked at Ross's, Marshall's, etc. around the country...Slovenia, El Salvador, FC Cincinnati, to name a few. I know St. Pauli kits were showing up at random stores not too long ago.
It's a complete crapshoot, but it's kind of also the only non-mainstream teams source of kits people can find locally in America.
I have been in dozens of Nike outlets across North America, including the Nike Employee Store in Beaverton and have NEVER seen a soccer shirt in one of them.
Next time you come to the US... I highly recommend you visit "Burlington"... It is a variety store kind of like TJ Maxx (Or TK Maxx in your case)... But lately I've found football gear in it... Last time I found a Borussia Mönchengladbach And the Czech Republic jersey at a really good price... Another time I found the Mexico national team jacket too... So idea for your next video 😎
as a DIE HARD Chivas fan (Club America biggest rivals) when they found the chivas shirt and he said, " Oh club America" my heart shattered and my jaw dropped 😔
Love the Nashville shirt. Looking to collect MLS shirts, got the Inter Miami inaugural shirt, that Nashville one would be a MAJOR addition 🤩
Ellis you did get some footy eye candy to purchase here in USA. Well done bro
Everything's from overseas. The shipping and handling alone is expensive,coupled with the fact that it's not a major sport. No such thing as too many discounts and deals on them here. Maybe NYC?
That was the Juve fourth shirt, their third is that awful yellow one. TK Maxx in America is TJ Maxx so that’s their version haha.
Man Nashville have such nice kits in sports, their ice hockey ones are especially nice but the football ones are also class.
That Nashville shirt was the best find IMO love that colour and decent size aswell. Just happens to be mine 👀
liked and subscribed
Nice video Ellis! I would love that Nashville shirt as I am a huge fan of them!
It's actually incredible to see that people over in England and the UK actually love the MLS. If you're not from Ohio, Seattle/Portland or LA, the MLS is basically a non-factor here.
MLS is popular everywhere in usa but Premier League is more popular
It’s painful being a football ⚽️ fan in USA. I remember like back in 2014 it was impossible to find anything I used to have order everything online. Nowadays it’s easier to find Kits like as a Dortmund fan twelve years ago when I used to go to stores to find our kits it was impossible to find. Now when I go to puma I always see our kits in store. Football ⚽️ is growing thankfully in USA.
i’m from houston tx and i’m just now learning that it’s that impossible for people in the US, down here everyone is into football mostly because of the diversity and big hispanic population, there’s football jerseys everywhere and in every thrift
Coming from someone in North Carolina there actually common to find the other day they had long sleeve inter Miami jerseys, they had 4 of the Nashville ones you found, fc Cincinnati player issue for 25, lafc all in the same store ( Ross) depends in the area
As someone who lives in the states, and visits Orlando frequently, the teams you tend to find are the local nfl ones. Anything “soccer” as it’s called here is damn near impossible.
in Texas you can find a lot of soccer jerseys but they are mostly Liga MX and Serie A and some Bundesliga
finally you came to america best place i like to go is mom and pop soccer stores i found a 2010 spain kit for 50 dollars still with tags
