We Cataldos have been on a continued hunt for 2016 Cubs World Series gear! After hunting around fruitlessly for a couple days after the big win, we waited impatiently for stores to get some shirts, hats, and other gear in stock.
After one of my readers spotted Cubs World Series T-shirts at JC Penney, we headed over to check them out. I was ready to plunk down $27.95 for a shirt for myself, as I had a $10-off-$25 coupon that had come in the mail. JCP would not take the coupon though, as they said it wasn’t valid on the World Series gear.
I was irritated with this and decided I’d get a Cubs shirt at a later date. Meanwhile, my boys also wanted Cubs World Series shirts of their own. Our household’s two resident White Sox fans even expressed interest in sporting some Cubbie blue after our historic win. (How about that!) However, the prospect of spending close to $150 on five T-shirts made this bargain-hunter cringe more than a bit.
Yesterday, my husband was out shopping and happened to wander into TJ Maxx, where they had a big display of official MLB 2016 Cubs World Series shirts! Who would have thought? Child-size shirts are $9.99, and adult-size shirts are $14.99!
TJ Maxx had three different shirt styles — dark grey, light grey, and Cubbie blue. He bought three dark grey for the adult Cataldos, a light grey child-size for our youngest son, and a men’s small in blue for our oldest son, as the blue shirts were the only style available in 100% cotton.
If you’re still on the hunt for 2016 World Series Cubs gear, you may want to check out TJ Maxx! After my husband arrived home with a bag full of Cubs shirts, I took a look at TJ Maxx’s site to see if these items were also available online — they’re not. Still, it’s worth a trip to the store to save amost half what these shirts are going for elsewhere.

Thanks! I am going to stop in on my way home from work. I would NOT have thought TJ Maxx! I did see a ton of the blue ones at Costco, but my hubby is looking for gray :-)
Coupon Maven says
You’re welcome — we never would have thought to look there either had he not gone in to look for something else. This is the best price we’ve seen!

Yes they did have them at the one on my way home (Mundelein) and they are very nice quality! I picked one up for my hubby in the dark gray like in your photo. Thanks again! Great price!
Coupon Maven says
You’re welcome! Yes, we were really happy with the quality too!
Jewel-Osco now has the World Series gear. My mom saw it & thought the shirts were $14.99 there. We checked it out and only the division playoff shirts are $14.99 – World Series shirts are still closer to $30. Something to watch though as prices drop.

I got a Cubs t-shirt at Ross last week for $7.99!!! It’s a children’s XL, which fit me perfectly (slim adult woman, usually size XS/S).
Coupon Maven says
Was it a World Series shirt or a regular Cubs tee? Either way, that’s a great price!
seachicago says
It was a World Series t-shirt–it had pictures of the players on it. It was pretty nice!
Coupon Maven says
SWEET! That’s a great price. Well, guys, check Ross too then! :)

Thanks for this tip. Got shirts for both my wife & Daughter. We didn’t see anything for 9.99, but lots of 14.99 merchandise.
BTW, Ross also has Cubs world champion stuff for 14.99
Still looking for a BLUE (not black like we found) hat.
Coupon Maven says
The $9.99 are the children’s sizes — I noted that above: “Child-size shirts are $9.99, and adult-size shirts are $14.99”
I was just at Meijer this morning, and they have the same shirts for $22.99, Buy One Get One 50% off.
