Sports Authority Update and Burlington Coat Factory Finds

I visited the Sports Authority at Ontario Mills.

Sales

First off, congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins on winning the Stanley Cup.

Stanley Cup Finals

Today is Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the San Jose Sharks and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins are coming into San Jose with a two game lead in the series. I own merchandise from both teams.

This is a Pittsburgh Penguins CCM practice jersey with their old logo from the late 1990's to the early 2000's. Many Penguins' fans don't like the triangle logo but I like its modern look. This was purchased at HockeyGiant many years back.

Los Angeles Dodgers and Kings

I went to Ross yesterday and found this New Era Dodgers Cap.

It was $10 and it originally retailed $25. I couldn't find on sale at all on New Era's or MLB's  online stores. It goes great with my Dodger road jersey.

Today I went to Burlington Coat Factory and found this shirt on clearance for $8. It was priced $14 at Burlington but I can't find what it originally retailed for.

It says Dodgers on it. I just couldn't get it to stay straight.

A Message from the CEO of Sports Authority

I got this email today:

Oakland A's Cap

I bought this Oakland A's Team Classic 39THIRTY Cap today at Ross. It was $10 and it normally retails for $30. It will go great with the jersey I bought awhile back.
