Shouldn't this be easier now that they're in the Primera Division?

Please help me find a Real Valladolid soccer jersey for a birthday gift. If at all possible it should be the plain (no sponsor logo) purple away jersey. Also acceptable would be a golf or polo jersey with the Real Valladolid crest. My Google-Fu and Ebay-Mojo are failing me. I've even tried writing the team, but they didn't respond. Please help.

Not really: smaller clubs often have very limited distribution for kit outside their home market, either because the demand isn't there, or because the club wants the monopoly on sales. My home-town team in the EPL doesn't sell outside the official club shop, though it does do web orders.

Your best bet is probably to call the club shop during business hours and ask if they could arrange a special order.

(A tip for Americans: it's more typically 'shirt' rather than 'jersey', and that brings up a UK seller for the home shirt, but nothing for the away shirt.)

And in spanish, they are typically referred to as camisetas.

Here is the team shop page. The shop "tienda" is not yet online. You will find an email address; a snail mail address and a telephone number, which need the international prefix 34 when calling from outside the Spain.

Response by poster: Thanks!

adamvasco - that's the email where I wrote to them, but I never received a response.

lilnemo and holgate, searching under shirt and camiseta is bringing better results, but not exactly what I'm trying to find.

I think you all are right. Unless something turns up on ebay.es, I'm going to have to find someone with better Spanish than mine and call the team.

Thanks!
