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 a football shirt collector in the U.S., I completely felt this video. It’s hard out here, which is why I pretty much buy everything online from overseas. 😂
@@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.
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 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 😔
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'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!
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! 🤪
You missed the Nike Clearance Store near the Disney area. They had USA 16/17 Home/Away Aeroswift player issue for $60, USA 18/19 Home/Away Vaporknit $60, USA 19/20 Away Vaporknit $30, USA 17/18 3rd Aeroswift for $30, Nigeria, England Vaporknit for $30 and elite cleats for $70 for the past few weeks.
@@awaydaysfootball I went last week and they only had the USA 17/18 3rd Aeroswift in M-L-XL for $30, England Away Vapor Small $30, Nigeria Away Stadium Small $30 and Phantom GT2 Elite $70.

And some random national team/clubs stadiums for $30
1:22 well, Seattle Sounders just broke a 17-year stranglehold that Mexican teams had on the CONCACAF Champions Cup/League title scene (since 2000 and prior to Sounders, only Los Angeles Galaxy [2000] and Costa Rica's Alajuelense and Saprissa [2003-04 and 2004-05 respectively] have been the only non-Mexican teams that have won the competition); too bad that you could not get one as it would have been one for the books... On the other hand, US lower-league (i.e. USL, NISA, NPSL, etc.) tend to have some eye-catching designs but from what it looks like, they're harder to come by.
No surprise that Ross, Marshall's and Burlington are where most of the good stuff is. They tend to get stock of what doesn't sell at the bigger stores and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to where things end up regionally. For example, Nashville kits that didn't sell in Tennessee Adidas shops could end up in Nebraska's discount stores. I found an Ivory Coast kit at my local Ross, and through a soccer swap FB group I'm in have bought several kits that folks have picked at Ross's, Marshall's, etc. around the country...Slovenia, El Salvador, FC Cincinnati, to name a few. I know St. Pauli kits were showing up at random stores not too long ago. It's a complete crapshoot, but it's kind of also the only non-mainstream teams source of kits people can find locally in America.
Unfortunately everything is super expensive here. Watching your videos made me realize that, seeing you pull out shirts from mystery boxes and labeling them only 20$ blows my mind. In the USA it would be sold for 90$.
I was just about to comment, go to Ross! And the woman got stuck in the door bc Ross carts (buggies) have a pole on them so ur unable to take them out of the store lol
Hey Awaydays, maybe you should go to Burlington to find football jerseys. Watched videos of People hunting for football jerseys in Burlington. Forgot to tell you that Burlington is a Store.
They dont sell well in the US. Nike really only sponsors lower level teams and the national teams so it is never on sale. adidas doesnt sell out MLS kits because they hardly change year to year.
I remember being 14 and going to Orlando Florida and the dude we rented our Villa from told us about this bar that was off the beaten track and not really a tourist spot but the food and drink was “awesome” so we went anyway and we walked in and plastered from head to toe of that Bar were Toon shirts and Newcastle badges. being from Newcastle ourselves we were a bit like what are the odds anyways turns out the bars owners were from Newcastle and massive fans of the black and white army ❤️
I have a few shirts here and there but yeah most I get are from England. One exception was this old Chicago Fire jersey from the early 2000s. Hoping someday I can get a Chicago Sting jersey or some sort of NASL shirt without paying an arm and a leg for it
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 🤦♂️
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
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)
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
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.
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'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.
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!
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
As an American fan, it feels impossible to find football (soccer) jerseys below $90 and have yet to find a trustworthy American site, where do people go to find uni’s
Hey Ellis mate or anyone in the comments, I bought a mystery shirt and got a team called Snohomish County Football club....it's a team in America in the UPSL division was wondering if anyone knows how much I is as I can't find anything
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 🔥
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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

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
As an American fan, it feels impossible to find football (soccer) jerseys below $90 and have yet to find a trustworthy American site, where do people go to find uni’s
Hey Ellis mate or anyone in the comments, I bought a mystery shirt and got a team called Snohomish County Football club....it's a team in America in the UPSL division was wondering if anyone knows how much I is as I can't find anything
Snohomish County is next to Seattle. Being honest I've never heard of the team..
Amateur team
Here in Texas the only jerseys you can find in big supply is club America chivas or other Mexican clubs
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.
I go to those outlets every year for Christmas and I never thought to look for shirts. Great video
Our version of TK Maxx is literally TJ Maxx. Like its the same company
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 🔥
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.
How on God's green earth did you manage to find that. And where.
Should’ve went to Los Angeles
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
I find that in football shirt videos u think about buying the shirts they get but realise how expensive it is
Should’ve came to los angeles. There’s actually vintage football shirts stores, the thrifts usually have them, and the outlet is filled with them!
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.
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!
ellis idk how to tell you this but the us version of tk maxx is just called tj maxx 😭
I was the one on Twitter who recommended Ross! 👋🏼👏🏼
Favourite RUclipsr
"Their" version of TK Maxx is simply... TJ Maxx.
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.
Wait uhm you don’t usually pay 90 dollars for a shirt?…
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.
Generally speaking, the sport is just exorbitantly priced in this country. Playing, merchandise, tickets, concessions all cost ridiculous money.
Soccer is easy to find in thrift stores but you have to go a lot. I collect stitched football jerseys, your video shows painted I pass on those.
The Pumas shirt is our training top from this season, not the away shirt
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.
Yep found like 4 of those Nashville jerseys last week
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.
Do you know the names of the stores?
Way to go Ellis! That NSC kit is a bargain! That's my hometown team and we can't even get that kit that cheap here.
8,50 in the right corner is that Berckamp shirt or not?
Lovely seeing you wearing a Kaizer Chiefs jersey in Orlando and Orlando Pirates happens to be their main rival here in South Africa 🇿🇦
You should go to Mexico football is big over there
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!
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!
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
