Now is the trend when any soccer lover who plays as well as needs soccer balls and soccer shirts and soccer shorts and special shoes with names and numbers.
Referees wear their own outfits. Coaches and team sponsors like to have dozen of soccer shirts with company logos.
This trend encouraged veteran youth soccer coach Phil Orlando to look for a new place for one of his retail stores which deals in sports apparel.
The Avon Sports Apparel owned by Orlando, opened a new store at a new shopping center at 116th Street and Guilford Road in Carmel last week.
Avon Sports Apparel sells sports equipment, decorating sports clothing, shirts and shorts and socks and the very necessary shin guards for soccer and other sports.
He also has an Avon Sports Apparel store in Greenwood.
