It was Academy Sporting Goods in Kenner, La. I found a website with both the long and short sleeve shirts, both under 20 bucks. I can't remember if the shirts I bought were $15.99 or $16.99, but the color they picked for the web-photo is awful. They have a lot of vibrant bright colors to choose from, plus white. They also didn't show that they come with the waterproof pouch.

I'll also bet you can order just what you want from the website, just will have to add shipping.
