Are you a sports lover with a passion for great deals? Shopping at Deseret Industries can help you score big on all sports-related things, whether you’re looking for gear, fan merch, or even pieces for DIY projects that will level up your game-day style.  

Here are three fun, simple tips to help you make the most of your next DI shopping trip! 

1. Gear Up with Secondhand Sports Equipment 

DI is a treasure trove for gently used sports equipment, and most of it can be found in the yard area! From basketballs to ski gear, there’s a wide range of finds waiting to be discovered. Head out to the yard, and you might spot everything you need for your next game or adventure. Looking to replace a golf club or snag a pair of rollerblades for the weekend? Keep an eye out—you never know what you’ll find! 

Tip: If you’re a DIY fan, repurpose that extra hockey stick into a cool wall hook or use old tennis rackets as unique frames.

2. Rep Your Favorite Team—Thrifted! 

DI is a great place to find affordable, pre-loved fan gear! Look for T-shirts, jerseys, and hats that represent your favorite teams. Whether you’re cheering for your college, hometown, or an international club, you can find shirts, hoodies, and caps to show your loyalty. Thrifted fan gear is a great conversation starter at games!  

Bonus tip: If you find an oversized T-shirt, turn it into a DIY team pillow or upcycle it into a custom tote bag! 

3. Game Day Décor and DIYs 

If you’re hosting a game day party or you want to deck out your space, DI has all sorts of thrifted treasures for fun DIY projects. Keep an eye out for framed photos or quirky items in your team’s colors, like mugs, picture frames, or vases. Imagine a shelf decorated with your favorite team’s colors—all found at DI!  

Creative idea: Find a few small chalkboards and create your own scoreboard for a game day photo backdrop!
