they did NOT let us down with that badge...

I just want to know when I can get a jersey/scarf/etc. I don't own a car, so this soccer corner place in Lancaster is out for me, but what other soccer shops are around center city or close to a train? (or within bikeable distance to the city or train)

Congrats Philly fans -- your crest and colors are something to be proud of.
