Our New Blog

If you’ve been here before, you might have noticed that our blog design has changed a little bit! As we make changes in the hopes to improve our shop at SportsUnlimited.com, we wanted to make sure we didn’t neglect our blog.

On the homepage of the blog you’ll notice a main post, some featured posts, and our most recent posts. If you click the ‘hamburger’ menu icon at the top left, you’ll see a flyout menu that allows you to navigate to different sports and categories that you are most interested in. You love you some football? Just click the Football link and you’ll see only posts that are related to our beloved gridiron sport.

The magnifying glass in the header displays our search tool when clicked on.

We hope you find our blog informative, interesting, and entertaining.

The Hike

We hiked to the Pinnacle on a fine day in late June. There were rocks to climb and branches to wade through, but there is little that we cannot do when we’re together and striving for a collective goal. As you must already know, our goal was to raise funds and awareness for Progeria Research Foundation through HIKE4HOPE. This, we achieved raising tens of thousands of dollars as well as awareness through our online efforts.

To remain forthcoming, the hike was challenging and the views were sublime. We thought about our friends Nathan and Bennett. We thought about our cause. We thought about how inspiring the rolling hills of Pennsylvania are from up high. It was a good day.

Sports Unlimited and HIKE4HOPE Team Up

Whatever ups and downs we see as a business, we never forget that it is our responsibility to do good. Hopefully, we can do some good this month through our partnership with HIKE4HOPE, which is an organization that benefits Progeria Research Foundation. HIKE4HOPE is a truly astounding effort of Amy Ruhf to walk one mile of the Appalachian Trail this summer for each child in the world who suffers from Progeria (250 children means 250 miles). This is to honor the families and children affected, bring awareness and raise funds for the Progeria Research Foundation.

We joined in for the past few weeks and for every dollar donated, we are donating two more, allowing each donation to go three times further. If you are so inclined, you can donate through this link.

Our involvement in HIKE4HOPE not only comes from our collective desire to do good, but also because there are two children in our neck of the woods that live with Progeria and they have inspired us with their warm hearts and adorable smiles. Raising many thousands of dollars for HIKE4HOPE is something that we are proud of, but our muscles have been aching to get involved a bit more and really show our support for the children all over the world with this condition and the children right here in the Philadelphia area.

Many of us at Sports Unlimited will be hiking through a 9.5 mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail with Amy from HIKE4HOPE this Friday, June 27, 2014. We’ve got our boots and our water ready to go and although it will be difficult, it will be worth it. We will look over the stunning views of the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania and know that our sweat and our effort is not just for ourselves.

Last week we hosted our friends Nathan and Bennett, as well as their parents, sister, and friends. We showed them some of the sporting goods that we carry and had them take part in some games like field hockey, lacrosse, football, baseball, soccer, and so much more. They even got to sit on and start a motorcycle with the help of Matt! It was a day I will always remember and I think it will be one they will too. Below are some pictures of our time with the boys.

Look for more posts about our hike and some pictures on the trail!

Our New Logo

In January, we resolved to build new and exciting things in 2014. We have been working hard to keep our promise, and the first of many great changes we are making this year is the launch of our new logo…

BEHOLD!

The importance of protecting the 30 year history and culture of Sports Unlimited is unquestioned, but while we hold it close to our hearts, we must continue to move forward through innovation, energy, and connection with our most loyal customers.

We love it because it represents the strength, passion, and mentality that each person at Sports Unlimited possesses. It is who we we are and who we want to be.

We did good. We had fun. We’ve got pictures to prove it!

Sports Unlimited’s 2014 Resolution

The ambitions of a team named #Unlimited are difficult to rein in and although we endeavor to be the best at everything we do, resolutions must be attainable and true in spirit. This is ours:

In 2014, we will work even harder to bring to you a better experience on our website. We will build new and exciting things, we will be more caring within the Sports Unlimited family and we will extend that caring spirit to all of those with whom we come in contact.

Black Friday – Cyber Monday at Sports Unlimited

It’s that time of year again! If you can hear the Jingling Jingle of Jingle Bells then you might want to see a specialist because your ears probably aren’t meant to be experiencing sensation like that, but no matter! This is the Black Friday/Cyber Monday post that you’ve all been anxiously waiting for…

BFCM is usually a mad scramble for the best deals in stores and on the internet, but hopefully you’ll at least spend a little time with your family.

Here’s a crazy idea: Get all of your shopping out of the way at one place, save a bunch of dollars, and have the ENTIRE day or weekend to spend with your family and friends.

Apply these limited time saving to anything in the store from lacrosse equipment to baseball gloves to football cleats.

Well, with that said, check out the image below for details on our BFCM sale and click anywhere on it to get to our store and take advantage of the deals.

Carhartt. Made with (rough and rugged) heart.

Hard work needs Carhartt because having warm and tough men’s clothes is something winter demands. Carhartt is a brand at Sports Unlimited that we take pride in carrying. With a rough and rugged line of jackets, hoodies, shirts, hats, bags and thermals, Carhartt creates workwear that is not only tough enough to endure the elements, but also stylish enough to wear when you aren’t working hard.

No, I don’t work on the water with ropes and chains and boats. I mainly work on a website, but gosh-darn-it that image resonates. When I do work, I want to look like that dude: manly and carhartt-y.
