Kentucky Fanatics Look Online For Sports Memorabilia

By Vicki Diaz


Go to any household in the fall and it is likely a sports game is on television. Sports lovers across the world love to sit back with friends and family and watch their favorite teams battle it out. While most people fall under the category of a typical fan, there are those who take it to the next level. These super-focused individuals show up with painted faces or torso or wear foam hats or fingers. Many teams can boast they have die-hard fans, but Kentucky fanatics will look everywhere to find the most unique team items around.

Before the explosion of internet shopping, a fan was fairly limited as to where they could find officially sponsored merchandise. They would have to buy tickets for the event and purchase their items while at the game. Most products were limited to items such as ball caps, t-shirts, and various pennants. While this was fine for the times, they were much more expensive since they were on site.

If attending a game was not possible, college bookstores, regular clothing shops, and local retailers maintained inventory. This was convenient and less expensive than purchasing at games, but the products were mass produced. As such, the quality was poorer and there was little variety. This is not acceptable for a true zealot.

Thankfully, the internet has created a huge increase in specialty businesses. The online stores are able to provide unique and assorted items since they do not have the same overhead. It is as easy and typing in the team name into the search engine. Before long, hundreds of stores are available to search. Because of the broad number of shops to choose from, even an avid fan will find gadgets and gifts to fit their needs.

Some of the most popular ideas include clothing of any sort, such as t-shirts, jerseys, baby clothes, jackets, and more. Some shops even include socks, stocking caps, and sleep wear. Shops that specialize in apparel often have a plethora of different styles and brands to choose from. Most of these items can be embroidered to add that personal touch.

If nothing is not an option, collectibles and knick-knacks run a close second for the sports lover. In this category, there are things like glasses, coffee mugs, or shot glasses with the team logos. Or, lunch kits, tote bags, back packs, and drink koozies are pretty popular as well. Items for the home are also popular. Most businesses have both indoor and outdoor products to cover all options.

As always, there are those special fans who have almost everything. For them, quirky household items like custom colored garden hoses, yard gnomes, gardening gloves or benches are a possibility. Even such oddities as customized pet bowls, watches, toe rings, and ties may help finish out a collection. Fans are always looking for the newest and brightest.

Athletic teams are an integral part of American society. In order to meet the needs of the fans, many businesses have expanded online. By using the internet for purchasing team products, fans can access more variety of products. Even buying for the difficult person who has everything becomes a breeze. So, when the tailgate parties begin, be on the lookout. Those native Kentucky fanatics will be sporting their newest additions to their collection.
