Holiday Gift Guide: Replica Jerseys
But I'm not talking just any old replica jerseys; I'm talking autographed, and, in some cases, game worn jerseys like these.
This is the perfect solution for the soccer fan in your life if, like me, you're having a little trouble getting into the holiday spirit this year. After all, the proceeds benefit U.S. Soccer's charitable foundation, while as of this writing, some of these jerseys in the auction aren't costing much more than a regular replica jersey would anyway sans autographs.
For instance, there's a Chivas USA jersey autographed by their conference semifinal squad for $75; a game worn Eddie Johnson autographed FC Dallas jersey with a starting bid of $85 - those are pretty good prices even given the extra $10 you have to bid. Bidding ends Monday.

Big surprise, the LA Galaxy jersey is over $400 and all of the other MLS jerseys are under $100.
