A's Player Shirts

by WiscoFan on Aug 19, 2006 8:23 AM PDT Comment 15 comments

Just looking for the best source to get a player t-shirt(name & number similar to jersies), since I'm out here in Wisconsin there aren't any A's team stores or merchandise around unfortunately, besides online. Searching e-bay there are a few player shirts but its very limited.

I'd really like to get a green Swisher in the size large if they even make one but could be tempted with a Kotsay or Harden too. Are there any good online sites that have these? The A's site has customized player shirts but the backside numbers and letters appear white instead of gold plus it seems a bit pricier than it should be.

If anyone wants a Brewers one I can work out a trade ;).

call the coliseum shop

I live in boston and called to get my A's player t-shirts. though when I called they were sold out of Swisher, but had Kotsay and Harden and many more. The number is (510) 563-2209.

Trade: In exchange for your Carlos Lee jersey tee

I'll give you my:

--Ben Grieve shirt (Nix-like unrealized potential)
--Arthur Rhodes shirt (cataclysmic closer implosion a la Cordero)
--Jeremy Giambi shirt (that would be our own local rockhead, albeit on a sub-Menchian scale)

Careful with the Giambi shirt, WiscoFan.

Don't wear it if you have a connection at the Las Vegas airport. Strange things may fall out of it that you never knew were there.

Nice

In all of my softball leagues/games since the 01' playoffs I slide into home no matter what, because of Giambi.

LOL

Regarding the trade offer ;).

So far Cordero has been superb...unlike Rhodes ever was in his stint with the A's.

Thanks for the tip on calling the coliseum takingbackzito75, didn't really think of that for some reason. One person on ebay has a few white Swisher shirts and hopes to have a shipment of green ones within 3-4 weeks but I don't want to wait that long.

I'd love to get an authentic green Swisher jersey to go with my road gray Chavez, then get a home white Harden, but afraid I'm not made of money so a jersey/shirt or two will have to do.

shirts

MLB.com has them. They only come in Green and Gold, but you can get any player.

Where at?

I still fail to see these linked to MLB.com or oaklandathletics.com, I'd love to be proved wrong though!

I only see customizable jersey/shirts with white lettering on the back.

You would think, right?

The front is gold and then on the back, "Harden" and "40" are white on mine.

necklaces

the a's players and lots of other mlb players, where what appear to be necklaces. they're pretty stiff. they almost look like surfer gear of some sort. anybody know what they are?
