Check your local Marshalls!

I went in on a whim and was completely surprised by this t90 (only $15!) I'll probably circle back there and tjmaxx to see if anything else pops up in these coming weeks 🔥

Mexico Third Long Sleeve from DSG

Been looking for this one for a minute, it looks really great in person! I'm digging the colors and the design overall, and the fit is great.

The code on the inner tag and the "Made in El Salvador" seem to check out, but does anyone know if the Adidas kits normally come with that blue tag for online orders? I would hate to have been sent a fake swap 😅

Shoutout Adidas Outlet in Vacaville, CA!

Each came out to roughly $35 after tax, (including long sleeves). Since the Germany kit came out I've been wanting to pick it up, it looks way better in person! I got really lucky with the Japan jersey since it was the last one and it was in my size, the workers say that it had sold out already. Hopefully more pickups come around in the near future, the details on these are lovely 🔥

My Experience With Jersey Hunting

I started back in late March-early April when I was seeing everyone find dope stuff in these stores. I'm not a reseller by any means, I just happen to like the thrill of the search! The Ross and Burlington stores nearby usually don't have much, but here's some of my takeaways after a couple weeks of consistent searching:

Timing: It really comes down to knowing the times of day that the stores restock. I've had the most success with Ross finds when I go right at opening (9am for me) because they have their racks out on certain weekdays near the athletic stuff. That being said, I have stumbled upon random jerseys like the Juve and Bayern ones at later times, but for the most part it's been the same. As for Burlington, the best finds I've had ranged anywhere from 12pm to 1pm, since they tend to restock their athletic stuff around that time. As of late, I've noticed that the late evening (5-6pm) usually brings out a lot of stuff on the racks, but I'm pretty good with finding at least one thing in the early afternoon.

First Come First Serve: I usually only pick up ones that I know I'm going to wear and enjoy on a daily basis, but it's pretty funny to see the stuff I leave behind get swiped up instantly. Once I went before closing and found a couple jerseys that weren't my size, the next morning they were all gone 😭 It makes sense though, good jerseys and gear for a good price, who would pass that up? I only know of one reseller in my area that actively searches for these things too, but it's whatever I just hope they leave some for the rest of us.

Temptations: I only support Club America and Real Madrid, so I tend to only pick up gear that pertains to those clubs. That being said, the wide variety of different kits and such that other clubs have makes it so hard to not add to my collection, especially when I've found anniversary kits and others that have nice color ways. In my eyes, I wouldn't be happy if I picked up some stuff that looked good but were from clubs that I truly don't support. It's like taking away from those that also spend their time trying to find things from their own supporting club, and I know I'd hate to be in that same boat. With that being said though, I did pick up a Newcastle jersey at the start of my search, but from then on I've been good about it lol.

The Madrid kit on the last slide was one of two things that I was hoping to find in my searches, I randomly stumbled upon it yesterday and I was pretty stoked about that 🙏🏽

What do you guys think? What are your experiences with the Ross and Burlington hunts and do you guys have any tips to add on? I appreciate the help that I've seen spread across this community, it's definitely helped out in my time searching!
