Good morning fellas. I'm in a real pinch. We ordered my son a Reed Sheppard Nike jersey for his birthday coming up on the 31st. However, something failed on our order and it didn't go thru. We tried reordering the jersey in his size (adult small), but now they're out of stock. To make things worse he happened to see me scouring the internet yesterday looking for another and secretly told his sister what he seen. He believes that he is getting one for his birthday.

I just got off the phone with Nike & Fanatics, and they stated they're not going to restock the size small again. I've called every store in Louisville and Lexington, they're all out of stock. Does anyone know somebody looking to sell one in that size, or know of somewhere I'm over looking that may have them? He's gonna be crushed, since he got to meet Reed and Jeff after the Louisville game he's been even more enamored with Reed being his favorite player. Thanks for any help or information!

Disappointment builds character.

Why do you think I am such a character?

Thanks for the laugh, needed that

I did a quick Google search of Reed Sheppard Kentucky jersey and there were some options with smalls. Now they aren’t offical Nikes, but if you’re needing it they seem to be out there online.

You can also look for the custom jersey sites and just make your own, but again won’t be an official Nike.

So I did the same thing. My worry is some of those links and sites look sketchy, or seem to be a scam. Any idea on telling which ones are legit. Don't want to compound the situation by giving away $80 plus for a product I never recieve. Thanks

It’s always a gamble. I will say my buddy bought some jerseys off a cheap knock off site and said you couldn’t tell the difference. Maybe try and look at reviews for the sites, and trust your gut if it looks like a scam. Best of luck to you on it.

I have no idea about a Reed Sheppard jersey but I could hook you up with a Walter McCarty #40 denim jersey and shorts to match. 😂

Promise I'm not being a smarta$$ here but why don't you just order him a Medium off Fanatics?

Not sure his age but kids grow like weeds and he will probably be in a medium before you know it.

Also, if it is too big you can probably take it to a good tailor and have it altered.

He's just turning 11 but that's a good idea. I'll look at the measurements and see if that might work. Appreciate it

Any chance you can recall the name of the site?

I do not, I’ll see if I can get in touch with him and ask.

 

[Supafuzz75]

Yep life's a tough bitch.. He'll cry for few mins but it'll toughen him up.. Unless he's 10+ then may be too late..

I have a Bill Keightley jersey I can sell.

If you are going adult small maybe a youth XL will work. We’ve done that in the past. Usually cheaper and size wise almost the same. Maybe a little shorter. If you get a 2XL it will definitely work.

Was about to suggest the same. He's a kid, he'll grow anyway. Just get a size bigger

I bought my oldest who just turned 11 some new clothes in the early fall and they do not fit him anymore.

This! Exactly what I was gonna recommend.

 

[Fox2monk]

Order a medium my dude! I always get a size larger in jerseys especially.

Unfortunately they don't offer Reeds jersey in a youth.

Was one of the clothing items an adult small Reed Shepherd jersey? If it was, I heard that someone is looking for one.

Promise? That is great advice and the kid can wear it longer.

Good grief

DHgate my brother

Thank you! I read several reddit threads that recommended them as well

I have several DHGate jerseys. The quality is excellent for the price, but they take a loooong time to get here.

 

[Random UK Fan]

You might get something even better. Stacy’s sister, Michael, owns a hair salon in London, Ky by the same name. Maybe the Reid’s can help you out somehow.

Thank you for the heads up brotha

 

[Big Blue in 502]

Wanted to tell y'all thanks for all the suggestions!

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Check eBay and then I’d order the medium it’s not that much bigger than the small. If he loves Reed that much he would wear an XL.
