Okay, so I decided I needed a Pelicans baseball jersey. Not the basketball team, mind you, the minor league baseball team, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Yeah, I know, kinda specific, but I’ve got a soft spot for them. Saw them play once down there, loved the vibe, the logo is cool too.
Getting Started
First thing, I hit the web. Figured that’d be the easiest route. Typed in “Myrtle Beach Pelicans baseball jersey” and started scrolling. Lots of stuff popped up, mostly fan gear sites, some bigger sports apparel places too. The official MiLB store had some options, but sometimes you find cooler, maybe older styles on other sites, you know?
I spent a good hour just clicking around. Some looked kinda cheap, print quality seemed iffy in the pictures. Others were way too expensive for what they were. Finding that sweet spot, good quality but not breaking the bank, that’s the game.
The Search Continues
I started getting more specific. Did I want a home jersey? Away? Alternate? They have a few cool designs. I kinda leaned towards the classic home white with the “Pelicans” script across the front. Seemed timeless.
Then the sizing issue. Always tricky online. I’m usually a Large, but baseball jerseys can fit weird. Sometimes baggy, sometimes surprisingly snug. I checked size charts on a couple of sites. Measured a shirt I already owned that fits well, compared the numbers. Better safe than sorry, returning stuff is a hassle I try to avoid.
Key things I was looking for:
- Official or good quality replica
- Home white style
- Correct size (Large, hopefully!)
- Reasonable price
Found It! (Maybe)
After comparing a few options, I landed on one from a fairly reputable-looking sports apparel site. Not the official MiLB store, but one that specialized in minor league gear. The pictures looked decent, showed stitching details which I liked. The price was okay, not cheap, but not outrageous. It was listed as “in stock,” which is always a good sign.
So, I took the plunge. Added the Large home jersey to my cart. Went through the checkout process. Standard stuff: name, address, credit card info. Double-checked everything before hitting that final “Place Order” button. Got the confirmation email almost immediately. Okay, step one complete.
The Wait and Arrival
Then came the waiting game. They said shipping would take 5-7 business days. Felt longer, as it always does when you’re waiting for something cool. I tracked the package maybe… a bit obsessively. Watched it go from their warehouse to a sorting facility, then onto a truck.
Finally, the day arrived. Saw the delivery truck pull up. Signed for the package. It wasn’t a huge box, just one of those plastic mailer bags. Ripped it open right there on the porch.
Pulled out the jersey. First impression? Pretty good! The white was crisp, the blue and yellow details popped. The “Pelicans” script looked nicely stitched, not just printed on. Felt like decent quality material too, not too thin, not too heavy.
The Verdict
Tried it on immediately. The fit? Spot on. The Large was just right, a little room to move but not swimming in it. Exactly how I like a baseball jersey to fit. Felt good having it.
So yeah, that was my little adventure getting this Pelicans jersey. Took a bit of searching and comparing, but worth it in the end. Happy to have a piece of gear from a team I enjoy watching. Now I just need an excuse to wear it out.
