Brewers Gear in Madison

[BuckyBrewer61]

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Brewer's jersey of some sort in Madison. Any idea's where to find a good price? I'd love to find something retro and powder blue, but I'm not too picky. Thanks for the help.

Kohls had some.

Kohl's at West Towne was slim pickings...went there last night.

 

There was a place on State Street...on the campus end...that had a bunch of retro stuff earlier this year. It wasn't Name of the Game, but the one right next to it.

Penney's at West Towne has had jerseys, but I don't recall any in the retro style. I will be there Wednesday evening (might finally spring for a Sabathia shirt with the coupon I got in the mail), so I could check if you'd like. I'm pretty sure they don't have anything powder blue.

 

Last season, Dunham's in Westgate had some pinstripe retro jerseys. I remember being mildly awestruck to see something like that in Madison. This was during the Brewers' hot start to the 2007 season.

 

Also, NMF is correct about one of those State St. storefronts that usually is all Badgers/UW Greek having Brewers merchandise this year. I just walked by there last week and they just might have had something retro in the window. I know they had a Hart navy t-shirt (which of course caught my eye) and a powder blue Sabathia shirt.

Thing is, I thought that place was Name of the Game. Shows how much I'm up on that stuff.

 

For what it's worth, the ginormous Lucky building (replacing University Square) has a larger Name of the Game, on the side facing University Avenue. I haven't been close enough to see the merchandise they have, though, only to notice that that's what was moving in.

Wisconsin Active Sports at West Towne had authentic retro's when I was there about 3-4 weeks ago. Dick's Sports also at West Towne had a surprisingly large selection of players in home jerseys, don't remember if there were retros or not though.

Peavey, is Wisconsin Active at West Towne or Westgate? What's the store in Westgate called? I know they had some Brewers stuff about a month ago.

According to this link, both West Towne and Westgate have a Wisconsin Active Sportswear. In fact, there seems to be one almost anywhere you turn around in Madison.

Yep. There's also a huge one just up from the Junction Road Target, but I don't remember seeing jerseys in that one.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many in the area. I only knew of the one in Westgate. I would've never known about West Towne as the mall is just about the last place I ever want to be.

 

Anyway, the store in Westgate had Brewers gear when I was there.

On State St., it's either Insignia or Name of the Game. I just remembered the name of Insignia. It's what ever one was closer to the capital.

I was going through stores on the West Side last night and I ran into hardly any Brewers gear. I was trying to buy a Hardy shirt for my girlfriend, but the only things available in most shirts were 2XL and S sizes.

One of the generic sports jersey/shoe stores in West Towne had the retro-style jerseys fairly cheap not long ago, I think they were $75 for the ones with the more authentic-looking lettering.

Penney's at West Towne won't help you in a quest for a retro jersey. They have moved in their Packer/Badger stuff and there's less Brewer stuff on display. (Of course. Who would buy baseball clothing in August or September?)

 

For JumpinMacFlash, Penney's did have quite a few navy Hardy jersey tees. I didn't case out the sizes in great detail.

 

And for those of you scoring at home, Penney's still has one navy Geoff Jenkins shirt, XL, offered at the same price as the shirts for the guys still on the Brewers roster. Shamelessness!
