Badge should be in the centre though.

very very very very rarely should badges ever be in the centre. i didnt think i had any nazi diktats about kits but this is probably one

More than MTV, Thatcher, Adam and the Ants or whatever, the first time I saw the early 80s Spurs Le Coq Sportif kit with the centred badge was, for me, the precise moment the 80s began.

In fact there is a Carmodic thesis to be written on The Death Of The Admiral Kit era, imo.
― Stevie T, Friday, 17 June 2011 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
would be well timed, think i read admiral just got bought by ex-umbro dudes and are set for a big relaunch

i see spurs kit designers bottled it once again re having the puma pouncing on the cockerel from behind

I like how it appears to rotate as you scroll down the page.

I was nosing about in a proper sports shop, where they have individual price lists for each shirt, when I noticed that some of the shirts were available in 'player's version' (or something like that, I forget the term) for £90, as opposed to 'replicas' at circa £45. This was a new distinction on me.
I had the guy talk me through the difference - he brought out two Brazil shirts and showed me that the ventilation panelling was different, the fabric was supposedly a tighter weave (I couldn't tell) and the normal nice embroidered badge was replaced by a sticky transfer to cut down chafing. Frankly, the difference seems negligible, and where you can see it the replica's better.

Yeah I saw some of those 'player's version' shirts in the LFC shop the other day. The regular home shirt is £45. The 'Player edition' techfit shirt is £100.
I've managed to find some people to have a kickabout with on another forum. I was looking for a nice, cheap shirt, but ended up getting a Barca training t-shirt for £13 instead. It was that or a long-sleeve Sweden shirt for £15, but I don't fancy standing out in that yellow - I've not played for ages and am probably going to be a bit rusty.

think this must have been a Brazil-only deal, custom-designed for Anderson.

I like how the rays are a continuation of the ones on the badge, though I bet on the real-life shirts they don't align quite so nicely

the romario, post 1994 win, so with the extra star on the badge, bought in brasil by my dad, was the most coveted. this was before the time when world football strips were that common in glasgow shops.

I only know it from the Sister Sledge song, but I doubt a nylon Inter shirt was the image Nile Rodgers was aiming for.

early 90s. that was maybe 93-94 or 94-95. were the sponsor at least 3 seasons.

i suppose it was good to be introduced at my first football game to the prevalent phenomenon of cunts at the football who just piss and moan, never sing a song, never say anything positive. a lesson in football and life, lots of people are reprehensibly negative and should just shut the fuck up and go home.
