Academy Sports - World Cup gear

Went to Academy Sports yesterday and saw this World Cup section. You're in luck if you're a fan of Germany, Mexico or Argentina. There was zero USA gear. And not that USA gear was sold out. There wasn't even a spot for it. Maybe they are waiting for the official WC USA gear to come out?

All of those countries are sponsored by Adidas. That's why they are displayed.

Ok thanks for explaining.

The Dicks here had a small display of US stuff. They had some blue t shirts with the crest, name, and number on the back. I think they only had Donovan and Dempsey in stock. Also some scarfs and hats.

Looks like wherever Palmetto lives, there are a lot of Messicans.

If it's Bama I think they passed a law there a few years back that has the toughest illegal immigration law in the country.

The US world cup kits have not been released yet.

It's the same at the Academy in New Orleans (Elmwood). Only Mexico, Argentina, and Germany

Adidas soccer gear in general has always had a much larger market share when it comes to the big box stores.

You're not worthy to wear Argentina's colors.

I started this thread before it was cool to start threads about World Cup merchandise at Academy. But the picture I posted wasn't upside-down.

at the Dicks here they had Spain, Argentina, Germany, and messico stuff front and center about a month ago. Now its near the back.
Anywho, I wish they would have had Colombia, Nigeria, and the gear of the rest of the adidas countries (are there any? don't recall)
