Whoever came up with Castro Sports is kind of a genius, as he or she found a real need for sports lovers the Salt Lake Valley .... and ran with it.
Oh, sure, there are plenty of sports gear stores around these parts. Even just in this mall (South Town) you'll find Pro Image, Fanzz, and the huge department store sections filled with NFL, NBA, MLB, college football and college basketball gear.
But what if you are from another country ... or just like to partake in watching fútbol ... instead of football? Well, the soccer ball on the Castro Sports sign lets you know that you've come to the right place.
Barca, Chivas, Real Madrid, and many in the English Premier League, Liga MX, Bundesliga, Mexican soccer, the local MLS team Real Salt Lake, and many teams can be found in their voluminous collection of jerseys. They also have socks, hats, and other accessories from your favorite club.
And, while I'm no expert, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to find such strong collections of soccer shoes, balls, and kits most anywhere in the Valley (except, maybe, in the RSL locker room!).
This is the good type of Castro Revolution ... a revolution against predictable sporting gear! read more
