Really? Odd considering that there is/was a massive rivalry between the two companies with Puma being started by Adi Dassler's brother Rudi after a falling out between the two.

quote:

The Dutch FA had a deal with Adidas to supply their kit, and your Johnny Reps and Rob Rensenbrinks of this world were only too happy to wear the stripy orange shirts during the 1974 World Cup in Germany.Cruyff, of course, had other ideas. He had an exclusive personal deal with Adidas’s rivals Puma, who supplied him with their classic Puma King boots. Because of this, he was unwilling to sport the three trademark stripes of Adidas and insisted on a two-striped version instead. As you would expect, he got exactly what he wanted.

Although Cruyff wasn’t around to cause the German kit giants bother when Holland embarked on their 1978 World Cup campaign, his rebellious spirit lived on. The van de Kerkhof twins, Rene and Willy, insisted on being issued with Cruyff-style two-striped shirts else they were off. But did the Dutch FA give in to this blatant show of player power?Of course they did.

Doesn't say who actually manufactured the kits though

From ONTD: FCB just announced that the Qatari Foundation has purchased space on their kits alongside the existing Unicef logo. Here is a mockup that probably won't look anymore ridiculous then the real thing.

Personally I think Barcelona should just print "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" on all their merchandise.

The Qatari Foundation is dedicated to the dream of one day growing a tree in Qatar. Trees are considered just a myth there, much like consensual sex is in Scotland.

08/10 red Liverpool home shirt

10/11 white Liverpool away shirt

I had a Liverpool home shirt from around 94 or 95 but I think it got thrown out at some stage when I grew out of it.

Does anyone have a link to that website that had loads of old English clubs kits? I think c0burn posted it in some thread last year.

It's a little more varied. I have some very random shirts from when I was like 16. Hertha Berlin, Benefica, Atletico Madrid, Senegal, Parma etc

The majority are Newcastle and Hearts tops though.

I wear ones depending on if we've been winning or not for almost every game we play. During the off season I'll wear 'em whenever I want. I'd say in general just about every one has been worn in the past year.

I ordered an arsenal home shirt from arsenal.com on tuesday and it was here on friday. It came from a town in North Carolina with a population just over 10,000. I will think about the hick that wouldn't ever otherwise heard of Andrei Arshavin if it weren't his job to print that name and number on the back of shirts all day, every time I put it on.
