Yep, I think I will switch to scarves.
I switched due to economics $10-15 vs $30-70 and ergonomics. It's a lot easier to display 20 scarves then wear 20 jerseys!

Don't know how good US ebay is for football scarves (not great I'm guessing), but UK ebay has a few to chose from by all accounts.

Surely there's got to be some that someone wants in there.

Well I got two scarves for my birthday. My parents got me Inter and Torino scarves during their trip to Italy. The thing is, I've got over 100 garish supporter scarves and these are both the type that someone would wear in the Director's Box. Just the club colors. The Inter one simply has "inter" in 2 inch letters at one end of the blue and white scarf. The Torino, which is grey with breaks of maroon and white bands simply has "TORINO" in one inch letters at each end. One of the ends, on one side, has the club crest patch sewn above the lettering. Very classy.

Just check out ebay.co.uk for soccer scarves. Anyone selling large numbers of scarves is a good bet to have multiples.

The New York Power is offering their team scarf as part of their 2003 season ticket package. No word as to when they will go on sale to the general public.

DC United is offering an exclusive scarf to those who purchase half season ticket packages and to full season ticket holders (who will also get a shirt and calendar).

yesterday i sent an email to the people at soccerscarf.com regarding whether they had any MLS Cup '02 scarves for sale and if they'd be making any more. the answer to both questions was 'no.'

but wait, there is good news! here's what they told me: 'At this point, we are not planning on making more. We are coming out with
photo scarves of players (Ruiz, Jones, etc.) this upcoming season.'


this sounds pretty cool!

Sounds pretty freakin' expensive. Oversupply is what killed the baseball card market. Too many scarves. Seriously, how many "Cobi Jones" scarves are they planning on selling?

The Breakers scarf has been available for quite some time.

I acquired my Sam's Army and Wizards/Mystics scarves back in 1997. I think I started getting into scarves in late 1999. I joined eBay after seeing an MLS Cup 1999 scarf. Eventually one came up, and I got it. I think 99-00 was the year Sam Pierron spent in Liverpool, and I had him bring me back 12-13 scarves.

More interested in trading than selling. I do have a few duplicates (Notts Forest, Norwich, AC Milan).

What do you want - what do you have to offer?

If my brother doesn't want his, I may have an extra DCU one from the season ticket package. I know you were looking for one. I will let you know after X-mas.

Too late. My grovelling has already paid off!
