Hey schwabe or offerbacher (or any German willing to help) my cousin is going to Germany to visit her parents. I asked her if she could get me some soccer gear while she is there, but the town she is staying in is rather small. I think it is near Strasbourg. What I wanted to ask was: Do most towns sell German club/national team gear at local shops or do you have to go to a big city?
Re: Question for Ze Germans Smaller cities with at least 5000 inhabitants have sport stores, which should sell at least national team gear. Find out the name of the city she visits and we'll take it from there. Strassburg is in France by the way ...so the German side could be somewhere like Baden - Baden .
Re: Question for Ze Germans My buddy just went to Munich on biz and brought me back a new national team home jersey. Pretty cool since I just recently found out I have a pretty good chunk of German blood in me He said he found it in a mall but schwabe and offenbacher would know best
Re: Question for Ze Germans Yeah problem is she said that Munich is about 3-4 hours away from her parents' home.
Re: Question for Ze Germans Like Schwabe said, most places have Sportartikel stores unless they are really small towns. One of the things we can do is give you a potential listing of stores when we know exactly where she is going exactly. Most Clubs have team shops located at the Stadiums with some of the bigger ones also having outlets in the town itself. Another option would be to have her parents order the items and get them delivered in Germany (most have no or small shipping fees in country) and then have her bring it back for you. That is probably the easiest route. If you want we can give you some links for websites.
Re: Question for Ze Germans I know-my point was that it looks like that most malls will have some sort of sports shop.
Re: Question for Ze Germans Okay I found out the cities. She is flying in to Zurich, taking a train to Basel, and going to Schopfeim and then to Stuttgart for one day. Her parents actually live right on the border of Germany and Switzerland but are in Germany.
Re: Question for Ze Germans Any discount sports stores? I have to email her, her flight is tomorrow morning. I've passed on the info to her earlier, y'all have been very helpful.
Re: Question for Ze Germans I got a friend in Stuttgart but he will not be my friend for long if I call him in the middle of the night asking for a discount store... There are usually some local stores offering stuff as well, mostly in slightly larger cities. It all depends upon what you want - shoes or clothing and if it is clothing. Karstadt and other department stores also stock basic sports equipment, mostly for running, biking, swimming or playing football (ie soccer). I bet you would find tons of stuff given half an hour in any major European city.

Re: Question for Ze Germans Thanks. Damn BS says I must spread rep before I give it to y'all again. I'll email this to her and hopefully she'll get me some Stuttgart gear.
Re: Question for Ze Germans buy off the internet... The Euro is so high its cheaper in the US then in Europe..
Re: Question for Ze Germans Unless you buy fakes at markets...New soccer shirts, $15 looks the same but you´d better not wear it while playing games.
Re: Question for Ze Germans Um no it's not. Example, I buy a Stuttgart t-shirt online, wow it's only $19, wait, they want to add on $33 shipping. I said hell no. I go to Marseille store, good looking shirt on sale for $13, they want to add on $28 shipping. No! I'll gladly pay a little more if shipping doesn't cost anything.
Re: Question for Ze Germans Dustcowpoke, what did your cousin get you ? And don't tell me, something from Bayern Munich....
Re: Question for Ze Germans Oh she's not back yet. She's staying in a place called Kandern (German border but in Germany) helping volunteering at a children's camp; it's just an excuse so she doesn't have to pay for a hotel or food while she travels around southern Germany, Switzerland, and France. She won't be back here until February.
Re: Question for Ze Germans Hey Schwabe or Offerbacher could y'all give me a physical address for some Sport shop in Kandern, Germany? She also wants an address in Basel but that's probably not y'alls expertise.
