Has anyone ever used basketball jerseys for a dance? en>fr fr>en

I'm trying to find a company that sells Lakers jerseys at a low price. They do not have to be authentic. I would like something under $35. I've found a couple of places that sell them for $20 but they don't sell child sizes. I need about half child and half adult

Any help is appreciated!!!! I might be willing to change the team (only reason I chose the lakers is because the color!!!!)

Do you have a local sporting goods store? Maybe they can give you a good price. Other than that, maybe you can get the fake ones from Sports Authority or Modell's?

Yes, I did see the sports authority website. I'm going to try to visit their nearest store and see if they will cut me a deal

Thanks for the tip

we have a local printing place that does all our warm ups, te shirt, etc. They found us the jerseys & shorts and screen printed. Each kids had their last name and our studio logo was on front

I hope this link works for you. They have several jerseys for less than $25 and include child sizes.

You probably couldn't be as picky about color, but what about approaching a local high school (maybe your dancers could help) and ask to rent/borrow their jerseys. You never know, maybe one of your students is good friends with someone on the team and they could be your connection??

I did that a few years ago and since the school had away and home game jerseys I got some variety on stage. Some were mainly blue with gold numbers and logos and the others were mainly gold with blue...quick and easy!

Many times local Walmarts carry knock of jerseys. Our Walmart here in Phoenix carries tons of Suns stuff and they average about $12.00. Maybe look into that possibility.

I did this for the Celtics and got them pretty cheap. Also, have you checked your local Walmart?

Thanks for the suggestions...no luck at Wal-mart but I'm going to check their website

diva--I got so excited when I clicked on your link and saw jerseys for $25...then I saw that was for the infant jerseys!! Dick's must be a brother company with Sports authority because their prices are exactly the same and websites are set up the same, as well

We have used basketball jerseys for a dance before. They best thing to do is just go to a sports store and see what they can do for you. If they know that you are going to be buying them in a large quanity they may be able to cut you some sort of deal.

just an update....

I bought them at Academy. I had to drive to two different Academys about 120 miles apart because no stores sell two different team's jerseys. I'm in south Texas so I had to get the Rockets & the Spurs. (they didn't sell any other teams!)

But I got a better deal than any other place I found: $29/jersey....and they're the adidas ones.
