This has been a big week for Pro League Authentics. Earlier this week, our good friend Frank Knuckles of the Roots came in to tour our new football gear, leaving the store with two new Michael Vick jerseys he hopes will help the southpaw quarterback in this week’s game against the rival New York Giants. In addition, PLA officially supplied the Eagles with a new piece of apparel. Eagles strength and conditioning coach Barry Rubin stopped by the store to pick up a team’s worth of Nike Dri-Fit PLA Workout T-Shirts for Eagles players to wear in and out of the weight room.
PLA has also decided to take part in Miller/Coors’ Throwback a Throwback campaign that they have been promoting primarily on the radio. We supplied Coors with this awesome Cooperstown Phillies Throwback jersey.
It’s been a big week here at the store, and we are hoping for an even bigger one next week when, on October 4th, Left Field Cards own Amelie Mancini will be in store to show off her incredible collection of MLB prints. She creates her own baseball cards, prints, and posters, using incredible artistic talent and some humor in the production. Here are a couple of examples. Come down to Pro League Authentics on Oct. 4th from 6-8pm to hear Amelie speak about her collection, and get a chance to purchase some originals. The store is located on 13th street between Walnut and Chestnut streets.
Authentic Store Buzz: Remember folks, Pro League Authentics has all of your Eagles gear. With a good selection of hats and jerseys online and an even greater selection of great shirts by Junkfood Tees in store, PLA has what ever Eagles fan needs come Sunday.
In addition, with the Washington Nationals clinching a playoff spot for the first time in franchise history since the 1980's, and the San Francisco Giants claimed the top spot on the NL West for the 2nd time in the last three seasons. PLA continues to offer 25% off on all MLB jerseys, just use the code "MLB" when purchasing.
