Paragon Sports

I think Paragon Sports is a great store. This sporting goods store has been a NYC institution since 1908 and you can find equipment and apparel for just about any sport here. But I have a bone to pick with Paragon. I was there over the winter and their tennis apparel department was reduced to two pathetic racks. There was basically no assortment. I went back again recently and things were much improved. The first floor area behind the cash registers was all tennis clothing for men and woman, and they did have a great selection, with brands like Nike, Addidas, Bolle, Prince and more. But does Paragon assume people only play tennis in the summer? What about indoor tennis? If you are looking for tennis clothing in the winter I guess you won't find it here.
