Hi there, this is my first post and so I say hello to everyone. I think I'm going to the AS Roma/Celtic game on the 31st of July, and I wanted to buy an AS Roma Diadora jersey, but I can't find many stores that have it, and none have the navy blue version I want. Adding to my frustration, I actually saw someone wearing the jersey in question on the subway, but it was going the other way, so I couldn't ask where they got it!
The only store I've found that has the jersey is A.C. Soccer in Mississauga, but they only have it in the Maroon. The owner indicated that they were available, but at other stores, and he didn't elaborate any more (I guess he wants the business instead of someone else). I'd appreciate any help with this, as the game is less than a month away. I'll go anywhere in the GTA to get it.

Did you try JMT Metrosport?
They're located in Mississauga at the Square One Shopping Centre as well as a larger location on Burnhamthorpe Rd. W. (about 5 minues east of Square One).

TopDogg, thank-you for the suggestion. I had called the Scarborough JMT earlier in the day, and they had indicated that they would be recieving home and away jerseys in 2-3 weeks (hopefully before the match), but not the navy blue jersey I want. I ended up calling the Square One location anyway, and the gentleman did have an interesting suggestion that perhaps it's a "Europe-only" jersey, that retailers here weren't given the oppourtunity to order.
At this point, I'm going to try finding a Euro retailer and see if anyone has it over there, since as I currently understand it, it's not available over here. The most promising lead I have is for a store in Burlington, which supposedly has youth sizes in the navy blue, but not for adults. I'm going to talk to the owner tomorrow, to see about somehow ordering the adult size, but I'm doubtful. The closest thing to a jersey other than the home, away or yellow, is a special edition green that some retailers will be getting in the next shipment, that was worn during some games in champions league play.

Not that anyone was dying to know, there were four Diadora jerseys released. The home, away, 'third jersey'(orange) and 'special jersey'(blue). Most stores that carry these have the first two, many have the third, but none seem to have the last, as according to the stores I called it's not an option for order at this time (must really be special, eh?).
Anyway, I found it online at World Soccer Shop (http://www.worldsoccershop.com/shop/product_overview.asp?Sub=True&SubCatID=208&CategoryID=81&Department=9). Thanks for the reply, TopDogg.
