Can We Please Have Some Women's Olympic Memorabilia

Team USA women's basketball, soccer and water polo brought home gold medals in the 2012 London Olympics. The volleyball team won silver against Brazil. This years Olympic games were both exciting and historical. The women's basketball team won their 5th consecutive gold medal. The US won 46 gold medals with US women being responsible for 29 of them. The soccer match between  Team USA and Japan was witnessed by over 80,000 in the stadium.

So now it's over and with beaming pride I do as I always do after big women's sporting events, I look for the merchandise. I'd been previously looking for basketball jerseys and agreed with many in the twittersphere about the inability to purchase a women's jersey. Are you kidding me? The drive for five gold medals, and there are none to be found? At least the USWNT has Team USA World Cup Jerseys.

I could find no commemorative gear for water polo or volleyball. Where is it? Is it buried on page 17 of the google search? Do most companies think we (female sports fans) aren't interested in memorabilia? What is offered is a Nike U.S. Women's Soccer 2012 Olympics Victory T-Shirt and Olympic Team T-Shirts which features the women's basketball 2012 foundation tee in red.

We appreciate the effort and sacrifice that the athletes make in order to participate and represent our country. Most definitely it's a labor of love. But just so you know, many more are rooting and celebrating your accomplishments, we offer this Olympic Celebration design.

The design features the five circles mimicking the Olympic rings.
top circles represent the three gold medal winning women's sports, 
water polo, soccer and basketball. The bottom circles represent the 
American flag and the silver medal volleyball squad. The year is included
and the word "women". This gives it a distinctive feel that it is particularly
designed for the women's Olympic successes. Click the Buy Now button to purchase this item.
