I was at the last game and they made an annoucement about a sale they are having at the TeamLA store. I'm a first time STH and was wondering is it worth going to.
The end of the season sale you are referring to is the gear sale. All of last years galaxy gear (jackets, shorts, socks, practice bibs, game jerseys, rain gear, heat gear etc) is sold. Prices are decent and you have to remember you are getting used stuff but it is all stuff the players actually wore. Before the LAG made the switch over to adidas I bought a sweet Galaxy rain jacket that probably would retail for 100+ dollars for 40 bucks. I think its worth it, so my girlfriend and I usually go early and try to get some of the "good stuff"
The Team LA Store sale is not the same thing as the equipment sale. It's basically an "end of season" clearance sale. Expect to find last season's EPL, European and South American shirts and probably any leftover items with the old Galaxy logo. It's all new merchandise - you won't find any training items or shirts worn by the team like you would at the equipment sale. There can be some good bargains at the sale, but I'm not recommending anyone buy anything from Team LA since they seriously screwed me on the blank (i.e. "non Beckham") away shirts I ordered from them (which I was charged for, never received and am still awaiting a refund - meanwhile I ordered the same items from prosoccer.com and received them in less than a week). Team LA sucks.
