Elmer Cotton Sports

This is well known amongst University sports teams, as it provides the kit for lots of college sports. It’s been around for nearly a century and really knows its stuff, which isn’t to say it’s necesarily the best, but the staff are knowledgeable and polite, the items are of good quality, and the prices, while not cheap, aren’t extortionate. It caters for non-​university teams as well, with items ranging from basic t-​shirts to embroidered uniforms. You pick the material (eg: Nike), the sizes and the design, or you can specify a bespoke design if it’s not one they already cater for.
The shop’s got a nice feel to it — not too cluttered, and it feels sort of vintage and English, with photos of cricket teams on the walls.

This is a handy little shop if you’re into your sports — this is full up to the top with all kinds of equipment! I went with a friend to get a badminton racket and spent a long time just choosing, as the selection was great! There’s a range of most items starting at your basic stuff for beginners, up to professional quality items for those who are a bit more keen and experienced. A range of prices too. There’s quite a few photos of college teams, so the shop obviously caters for a few university sports. Recommended to us by someone who’s into many sports — give it a try.
