Speaking of American Football.

I can't say I know much about it, except my husband likes it and our son is named after one of the players.

I'm trying to get a jersey with his name on it, but can't seem to find one. I was wondering, are they easy to find in the USA? I'm in Australia and a friend is travelling over in about a month and she might be able to buy one for me while she is there. What type of store do I tell her to look in?

Oh, and how much would one cost?

His name is Heath Miller, He plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers

In the Pittsburgh area, you could probably find one at a lot of stores. In other areas, you would need to find a specialty sports store and even then, they might not have them.

I wouldn't expect to see them outside of the Pittsburg (or Pennsylvania) area. I'd order online. Jerseys are pricey!

On quick glance,I see them online at NFL.com and amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015EV...+Miller+Jersey

$130 for adult size
$50 youth size
Maybe your friend could order you one?

Yea, you can literally pay a ton for a specific jersey if it's a popular or unknown player.

That said, we've always purchased our expensive jerseys at resale shops or garage sales for pennies.

Doesn't necessarily help you tho. Do you have any family in the US that could be on the look out?

Target sells kid jerseys for cheap. Only popular players though. And only for that states team.

I just did a quick search and came up with this page:

Your friend who is coming to the USA, is she staying with family? If so, what I'd do is order a jersey, and have it shipped to her family's place, and have her bring it home. Ordering early so it arrives on time. I had to do something similar for my DH for Christmas, as "his" hockey team is NOT the local hockey team, but is local to where my mom lives.

ETA - I'd do it that way if possible, because shipping out of the US can be insane.
