It's no secret that parents and kids have different priorities, especially when it comes to buying sports equipment. Soccer moms want durable jerseys and safe shin guards, while Junior demands style. If anyone can play referee, it's Hermann Doss, who promises to meet the needs of both at his soccer-gear mecca, Soccer Sport Supply. The Doss family has been outfitting players -- from grasshoppers to pros -- for 67 years, and claims to offer the widest selection of soccer equipment in New York. Kids can choose their shorts, socks, jerseys, cleats, and shin guards from a range of brands including Nike, Adidas, and the house brand, "Doss." The store also carries kid-size soccer balls, hard-to-find international team jerseys, and every soccer-related item imaginable.
