So my girl is taking an interest in Arsenal, and is itching for her own Arsenal shirt, the only place I have seen so far that has Women's Arsenal gear is the official site, and with the appaling shipping rates, it almost makes it no worth it. I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions, or if there are some female gooners out there who can help out gimme a shout. Thanks.
A young child should never be denied an opportunity to love Arsenal. And Christmas, Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, the Day of the Return of the Wandering Goddess, Id al-Adha, the Hajj, Yule, or Zartusht-no-diso is coming up. And that sounds like a perfectly wonderful reason to splurge on the little one.
I personnally think Arsenal's ladies line of clothing is a bit appalling. Just becasue I'm a girl, doesn't mean I want to support The Arsenal wearing some pink shirt with a tiny little Arsenal somewhere on it. I wish they would make some of the guys shirts and stuff for women. But that being said, when I buy my jersey, I buy the boys XL instead of the women's jersey. Also, the boys one is much easier to find places other then Arsenal.com Hope this helps.
I didn't even bother with the womens jersey when I wanted an Arsenal shirt. I just got a boys size and it works fine. If your worried about how it will fit her, look up the size charts,have her look at them and she can figure out which one would work. You can find boys sizes at soccer.com and worldsoccershop.com also called youths. Plus youth sizes are a cheaper and they are probably on sale.
My girlfriends shirt is also just a boys shirt and it fits her just fine and wasnt too expensive either.
The boys shirt are at least $10 cheaper so it's a good deal imo. Go with the boys shirt it should be fine. Be sure to ask if she wants it customized!
