What is Second Chance Sportswear?
Second Chance Sportswear is an online thrift store specializing in sports apparel. We find items all over the place and help put them back in the hands of sports fans. Jerseys, hoodies, crewnecks, t-shirts, jackets, sweaters, hats, sports equipment, memorabilia - we find and sell it all.
Our goal is to keep you, the sports fan, decked out in your teams’ gear, in a sustainable manner, at an affordable price.
We’re a small business that is always looking to grow. For the time being, our inventory is only available on 3rd-party marketplaces (in hopes of reaching the most fans as possible), but we hope to one day sell directly from our website or maybe even in our own storefront!
Meet the founder, Joe.
Joe started Second Chance Sportswear with his friend Knute back in 2019. With little more than a love of sports and a cell phone, the two set out to slang sportswear on the internet. Low and behold, there were plenty of sports fans out there just waiting for them.
Knute has since set aside his sportswear dreams in pursuit of other endeavors (if you are into sports cards, let him know!), but Joe carries on - sourcing items from all over the Twin Cities and beyond to deliver them into the hands of eager sports fans.
Joe lives in Northeast Minneapolis with his wife, Leah and two dogs, Captain and Nigel. When he’s not running Second Chance Sportswear, Joe loves spending time with family and friends, coaching high school basketball, and playing pub-trivia. He is a proud US Navy Submarine Veteran and enjoys cooking, reading, fishing, and all things Minnesota and Iowa State sports.
