ACA Sports hit Record Sales with American Sports

American sport replica shirt sales have hit a record high for one of Britain’s leading online retailers ACA Sports.

The rising popularity of the NFL and NBA in the UK has resulted in a surge in orders for American football and basketball shirts – particularly those with the stars of the game named and numbered on the back.

During November and December ACA Sports recorded all time record sales and with Superbowl weekend just around the corner orders are expected to soar for the Kirkcaldy based retailer.

Alistair Cameron, Managing Director of ACA Sports said; “We have a proud tradition in American sports ever since our official link with the Scottish Claymores back in the 1990’s.

“Since then we have always stocked American sports clothing but there has been a significant shift change in the UK fan base in the past year.

“The exposure on Sky Sports and the annual game at Wembley has opened up the game to the masses here in the UK and we are certainly seeing the benefit.

“UK based fans are now far more educated on who the best teams are and who are the big stars and I have no doubt that the rise in social media has played a huge part in this.”

ACA Sports offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of sporting equipment and apparel in the UK.

Stockists of all the major leading sports brands, they offer full ranges across a diverse range of sports from football to darts and cricket to combat sports.

ACA Sports are also official online retailers for Scottish League clubs Raith Rovers, Falkirk, Dunfermline and the Scottish Junior Football Association, and are official retail partners for the Mitre and Precision Training sports brands.

ACA Sports have high-profile footballer Robbie Savage as their official brand ambassador.

Model Competitor

With a background in modelling, it is little surprise that high-jumper Steph Pywell is leaping to success competing in an event which requires elegance and poise.

The 23-year-old Sale Harrier jumped to third on the British rankings in 2010.

"I have done quite a bit of modelling for the sportswear and the fitness industry as this suits my look best," Pywell said.

"Reaching the final of Miss England (last year) has definitely brought a lot of enquiries recently. I want to show that it is possible to be both feminine and a successful sportswoman.

"At the moment, modelling is a way of funding my ambitions within athletics and we manage the amount I do very carefully. But who knows, in the future I could definitely see myself modelling more and would love to try my hand at TV presenting."
