Saw this on bigsoccer.. Promising really
"I went to the Modell's 42nd street off 8th ave location that I'm guessing is more or less their de facto NYC flagship store to check on sales. It's nice, big, and modern (formerly the site of one of the big forty-deuce porn emporiums when 42nd between 7th and 8th was the porn capital of the country before Guiliani [with Deputy Mayor Randy Levine] "cleaned" up the block). Certainly baseball and football predominate but the small soccer section currently (it moves from time to time) on the lower level right at the foot of a winding staircase has a nice location. It consists of three-across and three-deep two sided racks of team jerseys/jackets/etc turned permendicular to the center aisle so the jerseys on the front racks are seen by folks walking through the store. The section of course also has general stuff, balls/boots/youth jerseys etc.
Over the years Red Bull jerseys have occasional been displayed on the prime front racks facing the aisle but more often as you might imagine the world superclubs get top billing. After the NYCFC logo was confirmed and they rolled out t-shirts and hoodies I stopped in and saw their stuff had two racks or four of the six prime aisle facing slots. A couple of days ago I saw that was down to two and it was apparent the rest had sold. I checked with a sales rep and he confirmed the material was selling. By way of comparison I also checked when the Kemsley cosmos released their gear with great fanfare a few years ago and it didn't move and I don't think Modell's carries nasl cosmos gear.
But the most striking feature of the display was the decision of the store store to give RBNY two aisle slots next to the NYCFC stuff with the remaining two slots going to USA national team jerseys. So when you go to Modell's now and hit the soccer section you see RBNY/NYCFC/USA and have to enter the section to find the superclub stuff in the back.
The store has a big tourist trade and those folks (and non-soccer locals) must be getting a wonderfully skewed view of where domestic soccer stands in this town..."

FYI I made a post somewhere else, but check to see that the prices for whatever items you ordered haven't changed. IF they did (the scarf went from 34 to 29) see if you can be refunded the difference. Call the shop directly.
Don't you live in NY? Since your order never went through just go to the store, save a pretty penny on shipping.
