Youth XL

Alex and I have been tearing the town apart looking for Patriots wear. We went through this for the Red Sox back in October. I should have learned my lesson! Although now Red Sox items are everywhere. So last night we went to Sports Authority. Actually, we went to 2 different Sports Authorities. It was amazing the difference in the two stores.

One store had absolutely NOTHING with the Patriots logo on it. Well, that's not true. There was that poster for the Super Bowl, but the Giants took up half the poster, so that didn't count.

At the other Sports Authority, they had a whole display of Patriots gear. Jerseys, t-shirts, hats, and jackets. Granted, the Giants display(s) were far more impressive, but at least we had something. They even had a rack of Youth clothing. I was bummed that the smallest anything they had in adult wear was a Men's Large. So I looked through the Youth items. Not only are they cheaper, but they actually fit me! The Youth XL is (I dare say) even slightly big on me! I was quite surprised. That's the size that Alex wears. Either I'm shrinking or he's getting big... either way, the Youth sizes are cheaper ($14 compared to $19) and I was thrilled to get myself a Patriots AFC Champion T-shirt for the Big Game on Sunday.

Oh and night #1 of "Turn off the TV Week" was a success. Although it wasn't that difficult with the State of the Union on every single channel...
