Complaint Review: Eastern Lettering

  My Little Boy's Baseball jersey – My son tried out for my town's little league Baseball team. He go accepted. I got a list of things he will need. Cleats, Cup, special socks, you know the usual. But it was what was on the bottom of the list that got to me. They wanted me to purchase my son a jersey. For their team. Where was I supposed to get a kid sized baseball jersey from? Oh sure, I could find plenty of Babe Ruth or Derek Jeter jerseys for kids, but I was apparently supposed to magically conjure up a Navy-blue jersey with the team name on it (Louisville Cubs) AND his name and assigned number, in the team's colors... After about an hour of searching, I called the coach. I wasn't happy about this, and neither shouldn't be either. He tried to explain that any thick t-shirt would do, if I couldn't afford a jersey... Couldn't afford a jersey he says... and then promptly hung up. That pushed me over the edge. I wanted so badly to take my kid off of his team, but he was looking forward to playing with his friends who all apparently were on that one team. So while at one of the practices, I noticed that one of the kids already had himself a jersey. With the Cubs name on it and everything. I asked his father where he got it, and he told me about Eastern Lettering. About how I could order a Baseball jersey in kid sizes, and then have it customized anyway I wanted it. So I gave them a call. When the package arrived a week or two later, it was exactly what me and the Rep. talked about. They even sent me pictures (via email) of what the script text would look like on the front. I have to say, I was impressed. My son loves it, and the other parents are always asking me where I got it.
