If they have a full-pitch view then I imagine there's some software that tracks all the stats together (distance ran, possession, completed passes, etc). That's the only way I can see it being simpler than 22 pedometers. I'd be very surprised if there was someone manually recording all the stats.

It is a set of cameras and computers. Seems complicated but the stats don't really have to be incredibly accurate and this is less intrusive.

Right now I have Schweinsteiger's world cup 2006 shirt.

Right now I'm debating (in order)...
Roma (Home) - Mexes
Spurs (Home) - Crouch
Liverpool (Home) - Suarez

I'm almost positive I'm gonna go with Mexes.

Wait, is this for real?

Edit: Wait, Do they use the proper font for each team? Roma uses a serif font. If I get "Mexes" in Helvetica, I'm gonna be pissed. Also, it isn't gonna get hosed in the wash is it? If "no," I'm gonna order a bunch of shirts.

Yea, it's a tough choice, but I'd basically be paying the same price as I would pay for a really nice T-shirt. Don't the rumors say he might be going to ACM? I love the Roma shirts but can't stand the ACM ones.

When you put in the name & number, does soccertriads use the proper font?

I will not stand for Helvetica.

I sent them a general inquiry. I'm sure they know to use the proper font. You'd have to be really bootleg status to gently caress up the font.

Edit: OH MY GOD! http://soccertriads.com/Clearance/Liverpool-Home-Kids-Kit-Suarez/prod_339.html

Suarez for 6 quid!

I don't know, ask someone itt who ordered from them, there have been plenty.

Remember that it's something like 4-5 weeks to get your order and they can still be seized by customs (although I think the guy just sends another one if that happens)

He's been linked with a lot of clubs. I don't know who's favourite at the moment, but there was talk of a few English clubs over the window. It wouldn't bother me really, was just saying in case you didn't know.

No idea about the typeface, but I think it's ok. Hadn't heard of them using generic ones. I'm sure someone who's ordered from there will let you know.

FWIW the Barca Messi shirt came in that unique Barca font. But Roma is both unpopular *and* strange in terms of fonts, so I can see why you'd be concerned. I think it's just a risk that you have to take with these kinds of shirts.

Mexes's contract with Roma is up in the summer and there are a lot of teams looking to pick him up because a lot of teams are run by infants who have never seen him play and just like his ridiculous hair. So if you're gonna by his shirt buy it now.

Yep, the only reason why I like him is because he's mad hot and I love watching him bargain with the officials.

It's like watching a sleazy car salesman.

My only experience with triads the lettering seemed to be a bit off. If I hadn't lost my USA jersey I'd post a pic for you. :v: It also started to peel off after the first wash. The kits themselves are great though

If you wanted to peel the name off the back with your finger, do you think you would be able to?

Sorry I'm taking this thread to a whole new level. It's just that I only accept the finest of knockoff products.

FWIW I bought an expensive Bayern jersey last year in the Allianz-Arena and it was definitely iron on. The Triads Messi seems to be of similar quality.

Ironically, the thing that's peeling the most in my closet is the Bundesliga patch on my authentic Hoffenheim jersey that I got at Rhein-Neckar-Arena.

That's why if you do wash 'em make sure to turn 'em inside out and only let them air dry. I've had multiple kits for many years and washed them this way and never had a number or sponsor come off of any kit.
