The Red Devils have new shirts. Their contract with Burrda Sports ended, and now Adidas designed their new kits. They put a lot of :effort: in as you can see.



Why yes, it's a generic training shirt with a Belgium badge on it. Why yes, it does cost 3 times as much as the shirt without the badge.
Adidas already stated that the shirts are this generic because they didn't have enough time to design them. Apparantly it takes 12-18 months to design a shirt, and they did it in 2 hours months.

Does Witsel even play for that club anymore? Clearly they "designed" it in one afternoon ages ago, made țhose mockups the same day and then just sat on it until now.

No Witsel definitely doesn't play for Belgium anymore and definitely didn't during the World Cup.

No, I believe he transferred to the Spainish national team along with Diego Costa.

For full details check the transfer thread.

Joke 's on me for not remembering that red devils = Belgium MNT.
I assumed it was some random Belge clube and, remembering he'd transferred to a Russian side, went into full Nelson fingerpointing "Ha ha" mode.
Boy is my face Belgian.

No, you see, he said "this doesn't slip" and then lost his one chance at ever winning the title by slipping. It was really funny.

Way to use the walking shoe that's meant for senior citizens.

Anything is better than Warrior branded gear IMO.

I imagine their gear will be some combination of this,

In the US, New Balance was very popular in the late 90's/early 00's before hipsters were really a thing people talked about. Now they're just generic running shoes. I hope you liked my New Balance story.

New Balance makes great running shoes, especially if you have wide feet.

Rihanna likes them too.
