Need local CGY help in finding a place to buy Habs jersey

[Eddie Bronze]

I am looking for a red Montreal Canadiens jersey, size Large.

I have called all four Jersey City's here in Calgary and none of them have what I'm looking for. I called Fanattic to see if they stock jersey's of other teams, but that's a no-go.

I am not a shopper so I have no idea if there are any other places I could try here in Calgary. If anyone knows of any place they think might have what I'm looking for, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know. I have a back-up plan where I could get a vintage jersey, but would prefer a red one if it's possible.

Thanks.

Sportchek may have some.

Isn't there some (independent?) store in Deerfoot Mall that may have something?

Eddie, you need to come back down east, because that is all that is here - Habs or Leafs stuff. Pretty hard to find any other team's stuff (well unless you want anything that says 'Crosby' on the back of it).

EB... I was gonna email you about this but...

You should try all the 2nd hand places. My buddy from High School's Dad runs 2nd Chance Sports on 64th and Deerfoot-ish, across the parking lot from the Pizza Hut in Hunterhorn Plaza there. I can't guarentee that he has one, but if he does it probably will be in good shape, and a better price than paying brand new.

Sports Swap and Tuxedo Source For Sports may have as well.

I will be in the east tomorrow, but was hoping to be wearing one as I walk off the plane instead of going to get one after I get there. 276% tax isn't appealing either.

As stated earlier, there's some jersey store in Deerfoot mall beside the Yangzte Buffet.

Game On Sports. Basically what Jersey City in Edmonton became when the Calgary owners wanted to buy the Edmonton stores. The Edmonton franchise owners sold the rights to the name in the city to the Calgary guys with the condition that they can't have a store in WEM. That's why there's 2-3 Game On Sports in WEM, and one in Deerfoot. Probably some conditions going the other way.

Thanks but no luck so far. I've called all the places you guys have mentioned and there doesn't appear to be a red Montreal jersey in the entire city!

CANADIAN TIRE... they always have the Canadian team's jerseys...

I hear you on that! The tax would be as much as the jersey...

If you're looking for an authentic, you're probably SOL. I had to order mine from the Bell Centre store in Montreal. Sportsmart had some regular ones when I walked by about 6 months ago.

[Eddie Bronze]

Canadian Tire has no Red ones. Actually, I went there and even the white ones they have don't have real crests on them, they're just those heated on cheap rip-offs. But regardless, no red ones.

[Eddie Bronze]

Not authentic, just replica, habby.

Sportmart has three in the entire city and either they're too small or too big.

Thanks alot for all your help though guys!

Call the Mcaleod trail store. I used to do the orders for jerseys. I ordered them all the time. They may still have them.

Edit: Semi pro ones anyways.

Jersey City is actually owned (every single one of em) by some guys from saskatchewan. But a couple of em live in Calgary here with their families.

[Eddie Bronze]

Barnes, I tried every one in the city and Crowfoot had one in small and Coventry Hills had an XL and M.

But not to fret everyone, I called Cleave's Source for Sports in little ole Kentville, Nova Scotia and they have them. And they sell them cheaper than here, too. Unfortunately I won't be able to walk off the plane with one, but I will be able to walk into Boston with one.

Did you try Premier Sports in Marlborough Mall?

[SpitFire40]

www.icejerseys.com I had to find a jersey for my brother and they ship extremely quick.

edit, nm... no red's in stock but if you order by the 19th and do express shipping you'll have it in time... But it seems like they don't have any Canadiens stock
