duggimon posted:That has to be a joke. I found the source for the image and all but I still refuse to believe that footballers actually wore that to anything other than line dancing. Nope, it's legit, and one of them recently went for over a thou on eBay. Toffs should really re-make these. (Those of you who haven't seen it, I recommend you seek out the documentary Once in a Lifetime, which is primarily about the NY Cosmos, but really will answer at least most of your questions re: "was the NASL really that insane." Spoiler: Oh my yes )

MattWPBS posted:Importing a question that someone asked in the Champions League semis thread while it was descending into statsmageddon - have any players ever shown off their swapped shirts? I have seen, in his ESPN columns, Jimmy Conrad refer to having gotten Beckham's jersey after the ill-advised MLS pickup squad vs Real Madrid match a few years back. I should post the collection I have of Jerseys That Are All Way too Big for Me.

ibroxmassive posted:Do the Blackburn kits ever actually change? Sorry, should've clarified--it's the new away kit that's debuting, and the away ones do change pretty frequently. The home one's just a variation on the blue and white every year, different details depending on sponsor and manufacturer, but the away colors vary. I'm partial to red and black away, myself, and a longtime #1 must have on my collector list is a GK kit from 2002 (I think) when it's red and has Friedel on the back. I like that alleged Arsenal one, although my first thought when I see it is "jetBlue." I also think that white Celtic one is sharp as hell; I love the weird little details and Easter eggs Nike puts in their kits these days.

ibroxmassive posted:Is it still UMBRO doing yours? A-yup. The thing about the Kappa kits I have is that they're also so thin I don't really like wearing them without a t-shirt or something underneath, though the Feyenoord one I only ever take to the gym, so no big deal there. The yellow Blackburn GK one, though, it's not even that snug-fitting (men's M), but it's drat near see-through. (I actually do own jerseys that fit me properly; unsurprisingly, they're all US women's national team ones, of which my favorite is the 03 red away. Haven't had the spare scratch for a Breakers one yet).

CubanMissile posted:Looks downright reasonable compared to Mexico. What you're not seeing is the sponsors on the socks. I have a jersey that color and I love it. But it's also a GK jersey. Rovers away next year: White shirt, red shorts. I like it.  I also gotta say I'm enjoying everyone wondering if whichever ridiculous Adidas template is real, since, thanks to their deal with MLS, we're the ones who get those templates first. That Chelsea one is what RBNY are wearing this season.

KabukiJoe posted:How does the lettering look on them? I'd like to get a Frankie Hejduk USMNT jersey and I don't want the letters to look goofy/wrong. The US ones, what you watch for on the fakes is the stars on the badge--all the fakes I've seen had the stars as solid blue (not blue/white) and it's a dead giveaway.

YUM YUM BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE TUNA I LOVE BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE TUNA YUM YUM BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE TUNA LOVE A KIT THAT'S MADE FROM BUMBLEBEE Directorman posted:Better yet, I'd love MLS to drop their Adidas exclusive contract; Nike kits are so much more class. While I'm pretty partial to Nike myself, I won't complain too much if Adidas remains the MLS exclusive supplier for years to come--they've dropped a ton of money into the league for sponsorship and development, teams that used to have little to no merch available for fans (like New England) now have lots to choose from, and yes, we get a preview of what everyone else is wearing in Europe the following season. For as goofy as the RBNY zipper/pec template is, the deal's come down to what a lot of people predicted when it was signed in 2005: having a supplier that's been a leader in international soccer since its inception has paid out only dividends for MLS.

ibroxmassive posted:Player play in the US, Rangers buy them, play them, and then sell them on to small EPL clubs for some form of profit. This is honestly not a bad description. But no, that Boston United is the Boston in Regular England, not the one in New England. There are a lot of towns here that share the same name as the towns over there, and I know more than one person who favors Portsmouth because they are from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. When I first started watching the EPL I always chuckled at the Sky Sports ticker showing scores from teams that, to me, look like they're all from the suburbs around here, like Braintree and Weymouth and Plymouth. (I'd see Southend vs Northampton and picture Gay Men and their Little Dogs vs Lesbian Hippies).

Dell_Zincht posted:Rumoured new Middlesbrough shirt. Although it looks like a photoshop, it was on the website in question and then pulled overnight, so there may be some element of truth to it. That looks like one of Adidas's 06-07 templates, though. The common link the new Adidas jerseys I've seen--look up Houston, Seattle, and RBNY--is big blank spaces on the sleeves for league patches/flags/your ad here.
