Playoff fever strikes Pre-Game Sports…

DATELINE: MARSHFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS…
Being a Red Sox fan requires a certain level of commitment. Sure, we wear our Big Papi and Manny Ramirez t-shirts and jerseys with pride, but we also root for role players like Julio Lugo and Coco Crisp, individuals who might make the difference in the Red Sox’ quest for a championship.

Pre-Game Sports, the premier sporting goods store serving the greater Marshfield area, recently expanded its roster of Red Sox player t-shirts and jerseys to help wardrobe both the casual and rabid Red Sox fan.

The starting lineup of shirts for both children and adults includes:

7 – JD Drew
10 – Coco Crisp
15 – Dustin Pedroia
18 – Daisuke Matsuzaka
19 – Josh Beckett
23 – Julio Lugo
33 – Jason Varitek
34 – David Ortiz
24 – Manny Ramirez
38 – Curt Schilling
49 – Tim Wakefield
58 – Jonathan Papelbon

“Most Red Sox fans consider it a badge of honor to be part of Red Sox nation and wear the team colors with pride. By carrying more players than your typical sporting goods store not located right across from Fenway Park, we give local Red Sox fans wardrobe options for each game of a seven-game series and then some,” said Mike Seyffert, co-owner of Pre-Game Sports. “For the ‘pink hats’ out there, something the ladies of Red Sox Nation have been called, Pre-Game Sports has their bases covered with t-shirts and fleece in team colors and pink, available in girls and women’s sizes.”

The Red Sox are not the only local sports entry with apparel featured at Pre-Game Sports. The Marshfield retailer carries game shirts and t-shirts for the three other major sports, including new kids on the Boston sports scene: Randy Moss, Adalius Thomas, Donte Stallworth and Brandon Meriweather of the New England Patriots, and Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics. Pre-Game also has the brand new NHL jerseys, including the new Boston Bruins jerseys, a lighter weight shirt than previous years with patches on the shoulders and laces for a collar. These jerseys can be customized with the name of your favorite Bruins player.

In addition to fan gear and full lines of sports equipment, Pre-Game Sports also offers screen-printing and embroidery services. Pre-Game has a “no order is too large or small” policy, which is evident in the range of customers who take advantage of this service—from Clean Harbors Environmental Services to local swimming clubs to family reunions.
