What local store has a Swisher Jersey?

Hello, I need to buy a Christmas present for a very dedicated A's Fan. It seems that a Swisher jersey would be the perfect Christmas present for this person. The only problem is, I can't find one anywhere. I live in the East Bay and so far I've only checked out Sun Valley Mall and none of the stores that carry jerseys had any A's ones left.

So I turn to you AN. Please help me locate an authentic Nick Swisher jersey. Preferably in the east bay, but I'm willing to venture out if I have to. I'm worried that if I order online, I might not get the right size.

Thank you. Please Help.

you can get a custom Swisher jersey there.

$189 for this one. The cheap one costs $99.

E-bay
They also have them on E-Bay for $75-85 plus $10 shipping.
I guess you are looking for a brick and mortar store? Have you tried the calling the Oakland Coliseum shop or is that all Raiders gear right now?

To add on, I am in the same situation as you maybe:
I am going to be in Modesto next week and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get A's stuff, memorabilia and clothes in the Modesto/Turlock/Stockton area.

Also a good place in the East Bay?

I know I can order online from e-bay, MLB etc but I would like to go to an actual brick and mortar store and pick out some Christmas gifts this time around.

Thanks in advance.

They don't usually come pre-made ...
for most players it's a custom job -- meaning it's going to be a big challenge to find someone to do it over the next week.

You could always buy the jersey now -- available at the Coliseum store and probably at sporting apparel stores in most malls and then have the number/name added later. That's probably your best bet.

They are a good place to go with cheaper prices than MLB.com and a more open view of what jerseys they can make for you.

Before the season starts, you can meet the players, et al. Tons of stuff, like autographs, and if you can get to the team store very early, you can get some good deals (though we're talking REALLY early).

My favorite part are the interviews.

Yea, but
I need this before christmas man.
plz kthx lol omg wtf rofl

i think that when they open the new stadium in fremont, you could get one there.  LOL.

Bad News
It seems the Oakland A's team store is open only during the baseball season :-( (http://www.coliseum.com/sales/teams.php). I know I can order online, but I really don't want to because I don't know exactly what I'll be getting and how big it is.

Help me out please.

plz kthx lol omg wtf rofl

I'm not sure...
but you could try the flea market down the road from me in Atoka, TN.  If you can't find a Swisher jersey, I'm sure you could walk out of there with a velvet Elvis.

heh
and plenty of athletic socks and maybe a blanket with a giant eagle and American flag on it.

As far as getting the right size...
MLB official jerseys run in standard sizes.  You could go to the Giants dugout store and just try on their jerseys to see what size of A's jersey you might need to order for your friend.  But it would definitely not arrive in time for Christmas.
