Wheres the best place to pick up boxing t shirts and clothes?

I DON'T mean memorabilia i.e. signed t-shirts and all that expensive collector shit, just regular fight t-shirts like say Lewis v Tyson Is On for wearing about the house nothing fancy.

I used to be on some mailing list round 2000 and they'd send me amonthly boxing catalogue always meant to pick up a Lewis v Both or Tua tshirt but couldn't be arsed.

Any ideas my beloved friends?

There isn't that much about, because the images of most pro boxers are owned by image rights companies who are very careful about who they allow to produce any merchandise using boxer's images. Most of the old timers like, Louis, Liston, Dempsey, Marciano, Robinson etc, are owned by some massive image rights management company.

I did some designs which I asked them whether I could get approval to use, and they told me that I had to pay them up front before they would even tell me whether they were going to allow me to use the images!

I got a couple of great Jean Marc Mormeck T-shirts. Go on google, do a search and you can find his sportswear website.

I'm saving it for Haye-Mormeck if it ever happens.

Everlast have a legends range which is ok, but pretty pricey.

I got my Sonny Liston tee-shirt from there, it was fairly dear but well worth it. It is one of his famous frown poses.

Is the quality of the Everlast gear decent? And did you have a problem with the sizes?

For on site boxing t-shirts it's ebay...I've got loads as I was collecting them a few years back.

I then realised I don't actualy like wearing them that much, as walking down the street in a shirt with a couple of half naked blokes on it has it's downside.

You can pay with credit card, it's all automated. Though, if you are going to order them, please don't do so now, as the prices have no mark up on them at all at the moment, I dropped them to test something out.

I've got a fantastic hagler v hearns poster, and a good one of Marciano v Walcott here.

I've got some more I'm working on, but they aren't complete yet, will put them up as they are finished.

Here's the posters I've done so far.

Soz babe, wasn't referring to your suggestions specifically, just those run of the mill Muhammad Ali The Greatest type t shirts than hundreds of none boxing fans are seen wearing on the street.

Ebay no good as no selection fo sizes, just XXL generally.

I wanted actual memorabilia stores who are stocked up with various sizes.
