Sport Seasons

Lots of great Packers and Steelers gear in at Sport Seasons, along with Pittsburgh Steelers AFC Championship and Green Bay Packers NFC Championship hats and t-shirts.  Two great teams, we are in for an exciting Superbowl.

Lots of great Asics running gear has come in recently, like this Asics New Core Top .  Lots of new colors and styles.

I love Asics workout clothing – I have a couple of go-to pieces, including a long-sleeve running top from several years ago that is the best base layer top I’ve had.  (kept me nice and warm during the Nashville Zoo Run Run this past Saturday!)   Whatever your New Year’s Resolutions are, get the right gear and get out there!

This really cool Asics Gel Noosa Tri 6 just came in.  The Gel Noosa Tri 6 is a triathlon version of the Gel DS-Trainer, with wider mesh for quicker drying, and much more vibrant colors. Designed with a lighter weight midsole compound and dual density, this shoe is really in the minimal running shoe category. Good for foot strengthening, speed workouts and racing. Has stability, but would work well for a neutral runner. Or you could just wear them to look awesome.

The Gel Noosa was designed and developed for the Australian triathlon enthusiast, and it’s been a hot ticket down under for several years. This is the first US version, but there is a nod to its Australian history in the name – Noosa is a popular tourist destination in Queensland, Australia.

Men’s styles are in now, and women’s due in February.

Just for our blog readers, here’s a coupon code for free shipping on footwear: SSBFREE

What a game!  Auburn fans, we’ve got your gear.  These items are in stock and will ship out immediately.  Check out our website for more styles in next couple days.

Championship fan gear is a very competitive business.  Most people check around online for championship gear, but you have pay shipping and sometimes you may end up waiting 30+ days to get that product.  We offer that product online as well, but we’ve also chosen to open one or more of our locations to service those fans that are excited about the win and want their Locker Room product before anyone else.  I mean how cool is it to walk into the office on the day after your team wins the Big Championship with the cap and/or shirt your team had on right after the game?

We started this practice in 1998 when Tennessee won the Football National Championship. We found we were very unprepared, because we didn’t know what the reaction would be.  It didn’t take long to sell out of every piece of product we had.  We’d never been through that before.  It was kinda ugly.  If you were at one of our stores that night, I apologize.  Since then we’ve been better and better prepared for the outcome.

People ask us, “How do you get this stuff so fast after the game?”  We don’t get it after the game.  We have to sign legal documents with our vendors, who pre-produce the product, saying we won’t display or sell the product before the outcome of the game is determined.   We buy both teams’ Championship product a couple of weeks before the game.  We have to pay for both teams, so we really don’t make any money on Championship product, but it’s a service to those fans that are loyal to Sport Seasons throughout the season, and we love to do it.  Curious about what happens with the losing team’s merchandise?  Check out this older post on that topic.

This year, our Cool Springs location will be opening after the final gun sounds.  We’ll have Locker Room product for the winning team, Auburn or Oregon, and some other things we have been able to get vendors to pre-produce for us.  We don’t care if you are an Auburn or a Oregon fan, come on down and see what all the hubbub is about we’d love to see ya!
