I would love so much to have a short-sleeve one of those shirts. I have one that's earlier and one of the Dreamcast-sponsored aways, but man, loooooooove the home shirt from those years.

They pop up on ebay every now and then. That's how I got mine.

I have almost all of the shirts going back to the early 90's. The one I'm missing that I really want is the tractor print shirt. But of course because it's so infamous for being so ugly they go for quite a lot on ebay whenever they appear.

Yeah I an because I live in Florida and there's almost never any need to ever wear slong sleeve shirts. The one I have I think I got because I picked it up in the Arsenal shop for something like £10 and I couldn't pass it up.

By tractor print do you mean this one? - http://unprofessionalfoul.com/2008/10/good-bad-wtf_22.html
or this one? - http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/yivKygLlpf8XC86eliyNCA

The top is probably what you mean, but the bottom one could be construed as tractor print i guess...

I have the bottom one and never wear it.

Hmmm turns out that Soccer Triads weren't trying to steal all my money because they sent a genuine Spain 09/10 shirt to me within a week for £18 including free delivery. I was assuming I was getting a high quality fake so to actually receive a real top with all the Adidas branded labels attached to it was a nice surprise. Welp time to buy £18 birthday presents for all my friends, claim they cost me £40 and expect a gift of a similar value in return for my birthday thanks Soccer Triads you are surprisingly less evil than your name suggests.

All the fake shirts I get on ebay have the nike or adidas tags and labels too, so tags don't really say much.

The Sunderland home one suffers for the same reason as the away. BOYLESPORTS should either be completely whited out, or the whitespace should be cut, not some horrible between stage.

The Fulham home has the weird white stripes, which make the black on the sleeves look a bit silly.

Liverpool one looks alright, but the three stripes should have continued down the sleeve, not stopped halfway.

The wigan one looks pretty nice, and the Fulham home looks like this year's arsenal with a different colour scheme.

I have to agree that last year was a good year for away shirts. Marseille (I have a long sleeve of it) and Villa both had really nice aways.

I am trying to like the away kit but I can't bring myself to do it, it looks like a Bolton kit. Having said that, this year's kits did grow on me, eventually. :confused:

The sleeves on the away are ridiculous. It looks like a shirt from the early 90s. Aside from garish designs like these sleeves a lot of other teams are doing patterned fabric so it looks like all the trends from the 90s are coming back. Here's hoping arsenal bring back the tank tread/bruised banana look for their away shirts.

Would a medium be wearable on a 6'2" 215 guy? There are a couple of kits that was thinking about getting that are only available in medium or X-large.

I'm 6'1" 180. I used to be 6'1" 215. Mediums fit me fine now, but at 215 they were way too tight. XLs have always been too big for me though so there was a time I was wishing there was somewhere in between M and XL to get those bootleg shirts (the bootlegs on ebay all seem to come in M and XL too)

note: my weight was flab, not muscle, so if you actually have a fit body a tight shirt might be fine.

can't be a coincidence that 3 of the 4 club teams you guys just named are champions of their respective countries.

The inter shirt is from 2008 and just looks nice, the marseille shirt is the cool argyle away number they had in 2009, the villa shirt is their away from the season before last, black and blue, and the germany shirt just looks awesome. I don't really have any strong feelings either way about any of these teams or their results. Just cool looking shirts. Maybe I should have said Man City's 3rd from last year because it's an awesome shirt without being tainted by the stink of victory.

Since you're new at this if you're an American please just call it soccer. Calling it football as an american makes you look like a twat who's into it to be different rather than into it to be into it.

All in all I would definitely reccommend soccertriads, very cheap for a great product and doesn't take too long to arrive. Another thing to note is the shirt I ordered was a small and its definitely larger then a small, easily fits me and I'm more of a medium.

Are the lines to the left and right of the german flag colors grey printed lines or are they actually ribs in the fabric? The real thing has ribs.
