$5 Packers Shirts at The Sports Authority
The Sports Authority stores in Milwaukee are unloading all of their remaining Reebok Green Bay Packers shirts for $5! Reebok lost the contract to supply NFL merchandise to Nike after the 2012 season. Merchandise that may have been previously held over until the next season is now being sold at The Sports Authority for dirt cheap.
I visited the Greenfield store yesterday and there were dozens of clearance shirts available. Both long-sleeved and short-sleeved shirts in a variety of styles were available. The sizes were limited to mostly children’s medium and large, and adult’s small and medium. I picked up a few shirts for my kids to grow into over the next couple of years.
I checked with The Sports Authority stores in Brookfield and Delafield, and they have a similar selection in stock.
