I've got a weakness for the current Spurs third kit.

Also, the 125th anniversary shirt:

Favourite one from the time I've been supporting them - the Holsten sponsored kit when we had Klinsmann and Sherringham:

Seeing as there's the traditional punks/St Pauli crossover, here's the St Pauli camo shirt:

And you know, all I ever really wanted for Christmas was a Dukla Prague away kit:

Well, the new Chelsea home kti was revealed today and it was indeed the one shown in the leaks a while back.

Looks like poo poo

Right, so they've switched from the royal blue they use on the badge to a shade of pastel blue. Good plan. Doesn't look bad at all, and I foresee massive replica sales.

Horrible quality but our kits have leaked:

I have to say I love the white one, looks fantastic.

Without being able to see the detail, those like seriously good. A nice plain blue home, slight shoulder highlights on the darker blue, and that slash on the white one is just a great individual look. They're similar to the England kit, in that they're simple, and there's something about that which adds a lot of class.

When talking about bad kits, this one has to be mentioned. VfL Bochum once decided it would be a good idea to be a whore and color one half of the jersey in the rainbow colors of the sponsor's logo.

What kind of following do they have?

"It's fun to play at the YMCA."

Do like the Portsmouth kit. Mainly because Canterbury have used a rugby template, so it's something different in the Premier League.

One thing that always throws me, clubs with simple crests. It must be a nightmare including them in a kit as more then an after thought.

I'd like to see one like that enlarged to take up most of the kit - go with a half blue/half white diagonal split. Could look really drat good.

That's either really poor lighting, or the two at the back look like they're added in afterwards.

I've purposely linked to the Birmingham City page on it, but there is one for pretty much every club and it's amazing. Not football kits by any means but football related shirts.

I want to either get one with Olivier Tebily with the word 'bombscare' written underneath, or one with Heskey and 'Mission accomplished, return to base' on it.

They've got Campbell on the Spurs one.

Temptation to get it with "Sol, Sol, wherever you may be..."

As much as I want to believe the soccer triad kits are authentic I'm not convinced at these prices. Has anyone that's ordered one compared it against a real authentic their friend has or in a store?

Yes, and it was spot on. I think the most likely answer is that they're from the same factory. See here.

quote:

Some counterfeits are produced in the same factory that produces the original, authentic product, using the same materials. The factory owner, unbeknownst to the trademark owner, orders an intentional 'overrun'. Without the employment of anti-counterfeiting measures, identical manufacturing methods and materials make this type of counterfeit (and it is still a form of counterfeit, as its production and sale is unauthorized by the trademark owner) impossible to distinguish from the authentic article.

I know it's a Wikipedia link, but I've heard of this practice before.

Yeah, it's a father's day present. Figuring out best way at the mo, Subside don't seem to have the plain England shirt - just the one with the poppy and forces detail?

Actually, �40 in Sportsworld, or $79.99 on the US sites. Hmmmm.

You only think that because the only team in London that should be wearing a white jersey is Spurs. We should never have any white jersey at all, and to now have another is retarded.

Pretty much along the lines of if we decided that a red away kit was a good idea. Bearing in mind people still got almightly pissed off if even the sponsor has any red in it.
