How can I get a GK Jersey for my son?

Hoosier Rookie · 03-02-2005, 09:51 AM

Hi! I'm new to the sight, but have been following IU Scooer for the past two years.

Real's got a great Goal Keeper in Jay Nally! I'm sure he'll do well for the Team.

When my son and I went to down to Bloomington, IN back in January, I got Jay to sign a picture I'd take the previous year of him and my son. I got another picture of him and my son this year, and told him that as a goalkeeper for his U12 Travel Team, my son would want "his" Real GK jersey to go with his Manchester United (Tim Howard) jersey. The shop does not appear to be functional yet. Anyone know how I can contact the team to possible get a GK jersey for my son, and possible one in his size (Youth XL or Men's Small)?

Thanks for any assistance.

I don't think anyone's seen the GK jerseys yet and I don't think they are for sale. In fact, they team jerseys aren't even yet for sale outside of Ogden, Utah. You might have to wait another month or so. If RSL follows the lead of the rest of the league, the RSL GK jerseys will probably be the standard Adidas keeper shirt with the team badge on it.

Have you been to the Soccer Connection lately? Are they still selling the jerseys? Do they have any away jerseys left? What do they think about all the fuss that was caused last week?

The MLSnet.com shop has been down forever pending "inventory upgrades"... maybe the new kits will be available online once it's finished.

Not holding my breath, but we can hope...

And they'd better have shirts available in little people's sizes, or I'm not buying one. 🙂

If you are referring to the following pic:

That is the Adidas Defesa keeper jersey. However, I don't think that photo was taken during his time with RSL. It's either from the combine or from Indiana. I would seriously doubt that he would continue to wear that with RSL as it is a lower quality jersey.

However, you can find it here

If I were a bettin' man, I would bet that they would wear the style jersey like this though I don't know what color they would use.

I went last saturday and bought a home jersey. I haven't been back since. I'm not sure that they even know about the fuss. Can't really blame them though.

Well, I'll be in Ogden again tonight to see my kids, so I'll stop by and see how sales have been going and if they have received any feedback from anyone about selling the jerseys.

This home and away shirt business is confusing. Do we have pictures of both of them, or just the red one?

I haven't seen any actual photos of the away jersey although I've seen it at SoccerConnection. However, they look almost identical to what was show at the October unveiling:
