As a soccer fan, you know very well the difficulty of obtaining official soccer uniforms, including those from foreign countries. If you feel you need to own a Senegal soccer jersey for personal use or as a gift, be prepared to search high and low for one.
Here are some tips for finding a Senegal soccer jersey:
- Find out the required jersey measurements. This is simply knowing your own shirt size. However, if you’re buying from a foreign source, the shirt sizes may vary in measurement from country to country. Find a tape measure and your best-fitting shirt and measure the sleeves, the chest and the waist. Use these measurements and compare it with the shirt sizes of the stores you visit to gauge your size based on their standards.
- Ask the staff at your local sports boutique. There is always a chance they stock a less than popular jersey design in their inventory without displaying it in front. Print out a sample Senegal jersey design you’ve obtained from the Internet and show it to the staff. In case they have one in store, make sure they are in the size you want. Look for all the sports boutiques in your vicinity, whether they are a department store section or a specialty soccer shops. You may also look in sports equipment or shoe stores in the off-chance they carry a few jerseys in their collection. Consider purchasing a Senegal jersey based on a design from previous years if they have one in stock.
- Visit the official FIFA website. Since Senegal is part of World Cup soccer, their merchandise may be available in the official website. Look for their store webpage or follow the link to recommended clothing partners. Be ready to pay international shipping and transaction fees in case the jersey you want is exclusively distributed overseas.
- Search in eBay and other related websites. Some former jersey owners or well-connected fans may sell exclusive Senegal jerseys online, whether they are pre-owned or brand-new. These items may be part of a limited edition, so be prepared to bid for them against other fans. There may be some jerseys that are sold at a fixed price. Confirm that these sportswear are official or of good quality. Check the status and comments made at the account holder to see if he is reputable. Be on the watch against counterfeit or inferior quality products.
- Ask for help from soccer forums. Dedicated Senegal fans may help each other by sharing sources of jerseys. Look around local and international message boards, and don’t be afraid to ask for directions on getting shirts.
- Consider making your own Senegal jersey. With a design downloaded from the Internet and the right fabrics, you can commission your own Senegal shit from a talented local tailor. You may need to purchase your own fabrics to get the accuracy you want. Don’t forget to include your favorite team name and number at the back.
Once you own your own Senegal soccer jersey, you can proudly display your soccer allegiance around your neighborhood. Collect several designs if you can, then preserve them after a few wears.
