They must have put Lalas in charge of ordering the inventory in the Galaxy Shop. You can get Galaxy Earrings. You can get a David Beckham Figurine (sorry, all his clothes are on). You can get a David Beckham Wall Clock, or a David Beckham Waste Basket (nice one Alexi!). You can't get a Galaxy baseball cap. You can't get a shirt with any number other than 23.
Let's not overreact. We are not the only team that has merchandising issues. In fact only 6 teams currently have hats available on mlsgear. Is Lalas responsible for that as well?
You can buy shirts with no numbers or customized numbers from other sites like worldsoccershop and onionbag. I'm still upset that I can't buy a Galaxy scarf anywhere on the interweb
You can get a scarf at the Team LA store in Universal City. You have to call them and dick around with shipping by they will send it to you. It's nice too. I got one a couple of weeks ago.
Ok boys and girls, A huge part of Beckham's contract is tied to merch sales. so they slap Beckham on everything. There's an EBay site where you can get galaxy Patches. Buy a couple. Buy a hat slap the patch on there, buy a sweatshirt, slap the patch on that. Total cost $50. Bam.
Forzagalaxy, bringing you ways to "Redneck yerself sum Galaksee geer" since 2008... That's actually a really good idear. I think I'll have to find the eBay store you mentioned. What really sticks in my craw is that MLSGear.com doesn't even have the new Galaxy kits up yet, but everywhere else certainly does. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though.
You can also get clocks and waste baskets with Adu, Twellman, Ruiz, Adu, Conrad, Ching, Gomez, Szetela, and Rolfe. You can also purchase a Jimmy Conrad puzzle, I don't think they make Beckham ones, and earrings are available for all teams I believe. The only reason I bring this up is because it drives me nuts when people make these observations way after the fact that they are out there. The clocks with players faces have been on the site for at least a year. ps. They should probably put Ruiz's Dallas one on clearance Cheers!
It's a public phone number (818) 509-3090 Shipping was like $10 (a ********in rip off) but that's the price we pay. As for the guy up there calling me a redneck, by next week he'll have galaxy patches sewn on to everything he owns.
Very frustrating -- even Beckham stuff, there's very little selection. One Galaxy sweatshirt and one Beckham sweatshirt-type thing since the new logo was announced... crazy! I'd love five sweatshirts, but I can't find them. Patches... they're not the same to me. Oh well, I guess I'll keep wearing my hockey sweatshirts to games -- what else to do? I gave up and bought a jacket at REI to wear to games this year -- I'm tired of only t-shirts for sale, then you go sit on the windy side in 50-degree temps in April.... forget it!
I laughed when you suggested sewing patches on. That being said, I was shopping around and Addidas makes work out clothes and track suites that aren't too far off from the club kits. I found shorts and long sleeve "warm up" shirts in galaxy colors. Not a bad option if you get tired of being screwed by retailers.
I dig the new training top on Worldsoccershop.com but I don't feel like pre-ordering someting that I can't be shipped till April.
We fell for that pre-order s*it last year, and it came two months AFTER their original due date! "Fool me once...shame on you...."
At Onionbag they actually give you a really good deal if you preorder. Check out the new Nats Away Jersey.
