what football shirts u got / what football shirts u want

started playing 5-a-side again for the first time in like a decade, thoughts turn to swagging myself out for the coming summer months

got: qpr 82 (sans guinness sponsor weirdly), 94 (compaq sponsor), dortmund 95 and ajax 94 (all home)

want: all the mid 90s nike/dortmunds, south africa 96 home, croatia 96, parma 92 (with the striped bunting sleeves!) and possibly the 94 celtic green/white/yellow swooshy 3rd

will rustle up pics in a bit

I've got last year's Wolves shirt and a Cork City shirt that I can't seem to find a pic of, it's a few years old anyhow

wolves shirts without goodyear on are just rong imo

First kit I ever had was the original Hitachi Liverpool one from 77-ish

I've got a Nike outlet and a Mike Ashley's budget emporium round my way, which are very nice for bagging some cheap swag when I want a pick-me-up. Picked up the red England away this week for £8 to add to recentish acquisitions of outdated Arsenal and Barca shirts and my favourite Inter away with the massive St George's cross on it. Obviously the England carries a stigma which is only amplified by the 'South Africa' embroidered under the crest. Was thinking of adding a 'Terry 6' for a full punk/swastika vibe.

Want: the Inter away with the dragons and a decent Milan shirt, don't mind which. The bwin one is on offer for £8 but looks cheap as hell. I'd like a 70s Ajax one. My retro Cosmos shirt looks like it's lost for good, I'd really like that back most of all.

I've also got a Boca Juniors home circa 98 with a big 10 stitched on the back. It's beautiful.

so jealous of clubs like liverpool or villa or even newcastle with argosies of great shirts

the basic qpr design itself is great but nearly all shirts have been articulated shittily

Wd love a Parma shirt from the Tino and Dino era

http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/ac%20milan%20pooh.jpg

this is the only milan one u want obv

inter have had some belters in the past though, you should splash out!

intrigued by the thought of the inter/george cross one, not sure i could pull it off

THISSSS

what a beaut

Hahahaha! Joe's never looked more stylish.

I saw a pink retro shirt with a badge I didn't recognise but I presume is Palermo - was pretty gorgeous but out of my price range.

haha two of the guys i play turned up in palermo homes! that was awkward

juve have pink aways too, notably the sony minidisc one iirc

http://designinsport.blogspot.com/2010/07/pink-football-shirts.html

Loving the Juve original pink shirts with black ties story. Now that's stylish.

i know right!

i don't ever wear my ajax one tbh, insultingly unsuited to my playing style

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WN7p6KRwBjQ/TE58oux9vTI/AAAAAAAAAEw/TLowB9GVV2c/s400/4225.gif

losing points for the lads in bow ties though

had a nice collection of football shirts from the late 80s - early 90s at one point (ireland 88, milan 90, holland 91, scotland 91, the liverpool grey one with the triangles)

just have one shirt now

http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/media/catalog/product/L/i/Liverpool-06-Yellow.gif

this is a pretty classy shirt that i may consider getting

Pumas (Mexico)

i've got all really old ones, have toyed with idea of buying a liverpool shirt in recent years but 50 quid for something i'll never wear for fashion reasons is expensive

I had this Moscow Dynamo shirt when I was at school, it was pretty excellent.

i have this 91 spurs shirt, but never wear it
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UicgYwyB2Bw/Sd-Ms1PxRsI/AAAAAAAAC0I/87F-cMUCp6o/s400/kit10.jpg

i also have a plain white spurs training top from last year that i mainly play tennis in.

lots of shirts i see and want (croatia away, lots of new umbro kits) but won't ever bother buying

I bought this cos it was the closest I could find to a Harchester United shirt.

http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/9075/tottenham98away.gif

I coveted the earlier Spurs one (maybe '87?) with the diagonal pinstripes and the arrows, but when I went to get it I bought the dark-blue-with-alternate-sky-blue-and-white-diagonal-pinstripes third kit instead for some reason. It didn't have a collar either and I resented it from the moment I first wore it.

heres the scotland one i had at one point

i have been good at buying shirts over the years but poor at hanging on to them. not sure how many cov shirts i've had but a good number. had a home and away shirt from the 3 years i had season ticket at goodison, including this beauty:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/3483238331_e593ca5b90.jpg

owned at some point as a child/teen an arsenal home (not sure why), pompey home (really not sure why), both an ugly celtic away and an ugly rangers away. also has this monstrosity:

http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/img/shirts/61/thumbs/football_shirt_17813_1_500x400x0.jpg

had a few european shirts, mostly from places i visited. had a white OFI shirt, that purple madrid above, plus this psg away and this awesome roma home but with long sleeves, wolf heads all the way down to the cuffs:

http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/0dc2d03fe217f8c83829496872af24a0/i/m/image_8081.jpg

only international shirt i ever had was a very fake looking latvia one a few years ago. but my mum did knit me a red jumper with a lion in an england kit for the 82 world cup.

I used to buy all the replica shirts through the worst era for Celtic away shirts (lol 1990s), and I think it's scarred me for life. Possibly literally, ugh cheap shiny material. I used to have an Ireland away shirt and a Brazil shirt at one point as well. Now all I own is a slimfit ladies Scotland shirt. I have a couple of Celtic official club shop t-shirts though which I bought for Seville, which still get an outing occasionally. Considering a St Pauli retro one.

http://www.uksoccershop.com/images/stpauli_retro.jpg

haha some of the scotland national aways were stonkers

(!!)

cov too, especially in the golden age of hummel

and that everton shirt of spiralli's is fantastic! considering i've never met or seen anyone give a toss about everton in london i wonder if i could get away with it... probably not

oops, that last classy scots one was meant to be this

http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/0dc2d03fe217f8c83829496872af24a0/s/c/scotland-91-leisure_1.jpg

My brother had that one. I used to roundly mock him for it.

philistine!

in term of non-wanky collector ones though that roma 00s home gets better and better the more i look at it

but my mum did knit me a red jumper with a lion in an england kit for the 82 world cup.

can't help but be reminded of this

I had the Scotland home with diamonds down the sleeves as a nipper (no idea what year it was, possibly '78?). I also had a polyester Arsenal top with huge collars that were great fun to chew on, though it didn't have a badge or anything and I suppose may not have been a footy shirt at all.

And a Forest one with the Panasonic logo in furry velour. Quality finish in them days.

http://www.tottenhamblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aston-villa-away-shirt-1993-to-1995-s_1583_1.jpg

I still own this

It's infernal

http://www.tottenhamblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/aston-villa-away-shirt-1993-to-1995-s_1583_1.jpg

The worst thing about Villa get relegated will be going back to a worse kit supplier than Nike and having to put up with years of creamy pink West Ham style "claret" bollocks

http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv105/NAPOLEONROFL/IMAG0046.jpg

the random selection i have in my flat the now.

the bottom 3 still fit me, and they're from the mid 90s, when i was still in primary school #skinnyasfuck #wowiwasfreakishlytallasachild

http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/265x/0dc2d03fe217f8c83829496872af24a0/b/o/boca-97-home-use.jpg

This is my Boca shirt, from '97. I didn't know until I looked it up that Maradona had returned for that period, so the no.10 on the back actually does refer to him. Quite chuffed about that.

i actually prefer river plate, lol. but i do like the boca shirt. glad i've got one.

is there a good website for buying old kits at a dece price?

only currently got italy 09/10, celtic 05/06, celtic 07/08 right now : /

as for modern strips, can vouch for the quality/veracity of shirts from this site
http://www.soccerseller.com/

xp I was going to tell my story about having bought mine at La Bombonera and then getting home and wearing it out to the shops on my first day back, and literally the first guy I bumped into was wearing a River shirt. But I checked incase I'd told it before and it turned out I had - um, to you last close season.

haha, yeah i remember that now!

The two proper-proper (i.e. not TOFFS) shirts I have are both Saints ones - one from the most recent relegation season (i.e. the one that might as well be an Exeter shirt) and our current one (i.e. the loveliest thing in English football right now), as modelled by Jose Fuckin' Fonte:

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/javaImages/6e/57/0,,10280~8869742,00.jpg

Only really got one in the want column - Angola's from the last African Cup of Nations.

http://soccerdistrict.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/angola2010jersey.jpg

What I'd really like is the body to carry off wearing that shirt, though. But apparently that doesn't happen by itself, so.

ha I was gonna say I wd look like the fucking Michelin Man in one of them

That bump bottom middle is a curious feature.

Ismael xpost - my favourite Inter away with the massive St George's cross on it.

I used to have one of these! It was my FAVOURITE KIT. And then I stopped being able to wear clothes I owned when I was 10. ;_;

I currently only have this season's Arsenal away kit. No name on the back. When I was younger I had- Arsenal gk kit with the stars on it with Seaman 1 on the back, Arsenal away from the same year 94/95 w/ Wright 8, that Inter kit, a PSG home shirt with that cool Opel sponser w/ the lightning strike, a p sweet Italian away kit when it was all white...

Currently want- an Ajax one, from any time really; a Fiorentina Batitstuta or Baggio one; will get Fabregas 4 next season for his last at Arsenal; a Baresi 6 Milan shirt; I like the Udinese one with the lines all pushed in together; an Argentina away with Messi 10 etc. etc.

I absolutely adore the samp shirt in general, think it's one of the classics.

I have little or no use for football shirts, there is no time in my life when I'd wear one. BUT I have to say I would like a Jerez Industrial away kit. Red dots on black = good. Jerez Industrial club badge, featuring an actual glass of sherry = excellent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerez_Industrial_CF

xp. i don't care for puma kits at all

I never know how people can distinguish between manufacturers of kits. I must miss the gene that does that. I know what I like or dislike (and I love that Belgium and l'OM kits), but I'll be damned if I knew who made it.

puma manages to put at least three of its logo on every shirt.

No I know that, it's more the "Puma are AWFUL at designing kits m8, Adidas is the shit!" stuff I don't get.

general ranking of football kits from good to bad imo:

Adidas
Umbro
Nike
New Balance/Under Armour
Puma
Joma etc.

macron has my least favorite logo
http://d2dzjyo4yc2sta.cloudfront.net/?url=images.pitchero.com%2Fui%2F119862%2F1465336185_9135.jpg&w=820&t=fit&q=85

Love Macron because they were the only one of the big companies willing to deal with Hereford when they reformed in such a lowly league.

With the Wembley appearance and all they sold FIFTEEN THOUSAND shirts of various types in the first season, they had branded videos on the front page of their website of "the road to the FA Vase final" in the week leading up to it.

They even sent a delegation to the match and sponsored a box - we were on the same train as them from Baker Street and got chatting, they were laughing about how it was prosecco and cigars all round as re-orders kept coming in. They also pointed out that they made Palace's kit and they had played in the FA Cup final the day before, and to ask ourselves why they were making the effort to come from Italy for us and not them...

Aw, well done Macron.

Before today I'd only harboured a vague resentment based on the unnecessary largitude of the logo passing for an o in their trademark.

iirc that marseille one is just a special edition shirt to commemorate the cup win

shame usa didnt make the wc as their new kits are a blast
as for the wc i really like germany home & away, belgium home, nigeria home & away & brazil away i guess so far

Denmark will take on Chile on Tuesday evening in a one-off patchwork kit that pays homage to the national team strips through the years.

Kit manufacturer Hummel released pictures of the stunning design with Danish fans hailing the memories evoked from the shirt.

that one looks alright!

nike did one for arsenal & st petersburg in the last few years that werent as easy on the eye

theyre both shown here:

it really does

for real want this one

Just when I thought the rug story couldn't get any better

that's a screamer

I'm already trying to google translate the hell out of Rostov's website but not getting anywhere so far. I need that kit.

Last Saturday I went to see the first home match of Clapton CFC (the supporter-owned club formed by the 'Clapton Ultras' that had been watching Clapton FC). Not because I was massively interested in them, but just because I was free, it only cost £2 to get in, and it was just five minutes away from my house. I didn't know much about them, but I knew they wore red and white stripes, so I was a bit confused when they came onto the pitch wearing a red/yellow/purple/spots/stripes/stars monstrosity of a kit. I thought it was awful. When I read the programme I found out that the fans had voted on this design for their new away kit and it was based on the flag of the anti-fascists in the Spanish civil war. Worthy, maybe, but an embarrassing design, I thought. I now see it's become an overnight sensation - despite the fact there were only about 200 people at the match, they've sold over 5,000 shirts in the this week and had to suspend orders because they can't cope with the demand (mostly coming from Spain).

> “they shall not pass”

I'm not sure whether this is terrible or genius.

I like the red/black halves and I especially like the badge.

the new puma ones look good, especially italy home for the euros

it was yesterday! fa cup, bbc1 around 9ish, man city third kit apparently.

but you need the pink shorts and yellow socks for the full effect

In a Rugby pub last autumn- I mean a pub in Rugby, Warwickshire- some old coot turned to me and said how fugly that Man City third kit is. Getting a grunt of agreement from me, he then added "that kit, it wants taking out and shooting"

Many soccer clubs began thinking of themselves as quasi-lifestyle brands some time ago. Paris Saint-Germain aspires to becoming a purveyor of fashion. So does Juventus. But a slew of American teams playing in the minor leagues or even in amateur circuits, like Providence City, Forward Madison and the Kingston Stockade, have hurried past building a global soccer juggernaut and skipped ahead to the fashion part.

Whereas PSG and its fellow powerhouses see streetwear as an avenue to tap into new markets—namely the non-fans—and eke out a little more revenue, some savvy American clubs have made the merchandising business central to their model. It’s the jerseys that makes the soccer possible, rather than the other way around.

Finally got myself a Basel shirt, four years after studying there

Font choice on the new German shirt for the Euros is quite something.
