Best Places For Women's Sports Team Apparel In Los Angeles

It used to be that rooting for your favorite team required a jersey or T-shirt designed to fit a more, ahem, rotund body shape (a.k.a your male, sports-watching counterpart). But, as fitness apparel has become more mainstream, team logo items have translated from blah to chic. Now, fashionista fans can not only cheer for their home team, but make a sporty, fashion statement while doing it.
