Academy Sports = Proto?

[Vex]

You read that right. I was browsing my local Academy Sports last week and came across a rack with '06 Proto pants and jerseys on it. They only had one color (black/gray) but they had quite a few of them--and for damn good prices. The pants are $60 and the jerseys are $40. That's cheaper than I could find them online by $10-$15.

Anyway, I just thought I let everyone know about what I thought was a pretty good find.

I hope you got some of them then

I bought a pair of pants. I don't need a jersey, but for the price, I may get one.
I must say that I am impressed with the overall fit and features of the pants. They were worth the money.

if I had the cash and need Id ask you to get me a pair, but I have a pair of slightly oversized very comfortable 05 protos that Im pretty happy with

I'd say that they had between 15 - 20 pairs of pants in sizes from XS to XL. I'm a 38 in. waist and around a 32-34 length and the XLs have plenty of room for me to be comfy. I really like the adjustabilty of the waist. If I ever shed a "few" pounds, I'll be able to adjust the waist accordingly and not have to get new pants.

ya Im more of a medium large guy, large would probably as tight as it goes (32 waist) and they might be a little long

I was able to try them on in the store, so that was the biggest factor for me buying them. Pants fit me wierdly. Different brands all fit differently...
I'm the type that has to try them on first.

[RoamingStorm]

I kind of want some empire brand stuff now

[etjoyride]

yes, the academy by me has sold proto clothing(and i believe harnesses) for over a year now

Phazeshifter, was it the one by Macain Mall? I know there is a Academy Sports down that service road, but I can't remember what the name of the one is on the other side of the bridge.
