Do you Man Utd guys ever stop and reflect that you're wearing the logo of a failed American company that has been front and center of this current financial recession?

Not trolling, honest question.

Any team advertising either a Gambling firm or Alcohol (which is the vast majority) will offer a sponsorless one if you ask them.

How do you go about actually doing this? I'm thinking of picking up an Everton Donovan shirt but could do without a Thai beer advertisement.

The reason for pink/flourescent orange/bright garish colours is because it focuses an attacking players attention onto the goalkeeper rather than the goal, so they shoot towards the goalkeeper.

Cech started it I think, wanting to give himself an edge, and now lots of goalkeepers are copying it

I don't understand how shirt designers pull random colors out of their rear end for new kits. Maybe I should go back to American football or something.

Just got my first triads order. Are the names/numbers supposed to be ironed on? The three lions and Umbro are stitched on the front, but the rest seem to feel cheap. I got the shorts too and they are 100% polyester? Feel free to weigh in. I might get my next jersey without name/number



Genuine or not, that looks awful.

It's the blue and red on the sleeves which make it look very unfinished; they should've made it all white. I love the home kit, it looks clean and simple.

They look really bland for the international marketing juggernaut that goes by the name of Manchester United F.C.

You could replace the "ONE CENT" with "USA SOCCER" and call it a day.

What's the selection at Dick's Sporting Goods usually like? A new one just opened up about an hour away from me.

I checked out the selection at a new Dick's last month and can safely say it's not worth driving an hour to. They had some lovely stylized shirts for 50% off, but YMMV of course. Also they had a random Celtic shirt at 50% off, but gently caress that. However I did buy an LA Galaxy ball because it was $5 off so not a total loss!

Specifically the red one. I've had my family down in Brazil looking for it but they aren't having much success, and online i'm not locating anything reasonable or that isn't sketchy.

I'll even pay a finders fee to anyone who can locate one I can purchase online easily (meaning not having to WU some guy on mercado livre money).

Have a link to the green one? Know what it is called?

Only was able to pull up results searching for camisa de goleiro brasil 2010 and variations on that. Looking for the 'vermelha' which is red. Only issue with searching this way is you get a lot of sketchy results or places that are sold out, or mercado which is the Brazil eBay.

Apparently that picture is from the opening of a Nike Town store in Brazil: http://footballfashion.org/wordpress/2010/04/07/brazil-nike-world-cup-2010-goalkeeper-kits-%E2%80%93-a-first-look/

Yeah i'd have to agree with people on this stuff. Some jerseys can be worn casually, like the Corinthians one I posted earlier looks good with shorts IMO. Key reason? It isn't covered in ads, isn't a ridiculous color, and has a collar.

I love AC Milan but you won't catch me in a Milan jersey around town.

I'd love a soccer shirt that looks kind of like a standard casual IT polo.
