Sign of the Times
How the mighty have fallen.
This is the Marshall's store at Torrance's Del Amo Fashion Center over the weekend (pic snapped via the wife's cell phone).
There were one or two Chivas USA and Chicago Fire shirts to be found and a whole rack of David Beckham Galaxy blue road replica jerseys, which once sold for around $85, now on sale for $24.99.
Don't cry for Becks though: he's doing just fine in Italy.

huge price drop, quite the steal
My wife made the same comment after visiting the Marshall's in Lakewood, except she was happy to find amongst the few Chivas USA items a couple of gifts for me!!!!
What do you expect? Anyone who was going to buy a Beckham blue away shirt already did. In case you didn't realize the Galaxy have another blue road jersey this year, so it makes the discount even more understandable.
Get off Chivas nuts, man. You are usually very objective, but you gotta lay off the Kool Aid you've been taking recently. Are you seriously going to begin to compare Galaxy shirt sales without or without golden vs. the goats sales?
Good on Bex. He's playing REAL football in Italy, not wasting his time in the U.S. Mickey Mouse League.
I only wish they had other Galaxy kits, I don't want a Beckham one.
