where to buy Olympics stuff to wear

PragueAddick

So I'll be arriving Monday, and need to fly the flag. Been looking at various sites, and notice that inevitably some places undercut the official shop, but don't always have a comprehensive range. I'm looking for teeshirts, a showerproof jacket, and the short sleeved cycling shirt (which seems to be sold right out).
So I'm wondering:
-is the net the best place, or will I get decent choice and deals in say Bluewater?
- anybody found any "offbeat" Olympic themed shirts or other stuff?

Your advice would be gratefully received. Please bear in mind that I am one of the older members of this place, and should not be tempted into wearing something in which should only be worn by young fit people :-)


I thank you for your recommendations

Asda have a small range of olympic items, t-shirts and bits.

It's interesting actually, all the stuff I've seen on stands at obscene prices (£45 per team gb polo shirt at lords for example) cant be found anywhere online. They have a set group of things that are available from online retailers.

I looked in the Olympic Park megastore and didn't fancy any of the clothing (not at those prices anyway), but I bought a Team GB flag!

I`m looking for that cycling top as well. Seems to be sold out everywhere. Fitting I suppose, seeing as I couldn´t get any Olympic tickets either.

Sainsbury crayford had a load of this type of stuff, everywhere is cashing in on this so I reckon you will be fine!

If you feel like being slightly ripped off, but not as much as the rest of the retailers, pop into Adidas! ;-)
