I'm not a sports fan, nor will I ever be a sports person. But, when Christmastime comes and you…read moreneed to buy something for a sports fanatic, you need to visit a sporting goods store. When you first walk in to Outlaw Sports you know you're in the right place. It even smells like a sports store, whatever that means. Hockey equipment fills up most of the store with all the helmets, padding, sticks and skates they have, but they also focus on other sports too. You can buy those gloves for the golfer in the family, or the pigskin for the football fan. They even sell jerseys and little figurines. There is so much stuff in this store that it's actually quite packed and crammed in. There isn't too much space to walk around and browse with all the stuff randomly placed around the store. Of course, all the people perusing the isles don't help either. I wasn't really offered a hand with finding anything, which was crappy because it took me a while. I could have asked for help, but I had a hard time locating someone who worked there. I think they were wearing green shirts, but I can't be sure. To be honest, sports stores scare me and Outlaw was no exception. At least they've got decent stock and lots of it!
