aawagner011 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Best pics we've seen of England. Pretty bland to be honest. Not a whole lot going on here. Not bad, not great, just kinda there. You'd think they'd get something nicer for their first Nike kit and 150 year anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Oh, I don't know. As an England supporter, I think they look very nice, perfect for both the anniversary and the first Nike kit.

Bayne Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 They look like cyclists with their front zipper pulled down. Pretty soon Puma will design shirts that are unzipped right down to the hem so the have them flapping in the wind as they run. Dont like them. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

You'd think they'd get something nicer for their first Nike kit and 150 year anniversary.I'd rather have bland and classic (see US Centennial jersey) than something that isn't, but doesn't look good. Will be more interested to see what they have in store for WC kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 England's kits are also so similar year to year...I find it's starting to get a little boring. They should mix it up a little more and stop playing it so safe and retro. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

aawagner011 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I would agree that the England shirt resembles the US centennial. However, I think there is a difference between the two. I would say the US feels a bit more elegant compared to England. It seems more polished with the sleeve cuffs and the enlarged, gorgeous crest really becomes the focal point of the entire shirt. Your eyes are instantly drawn into it. With England, the crest isn't drawing me in. It's just kind of "there." I think it should be enlarged because the only other feature is the collar. We've seen it is definitely possible to create a highly simplistic kit in an elegant way (below). This Nike offering just strikes me as stale and boring.Here is simplistic, yet elegant. It is incredibly plain yet I would not call it dull or stale. The crest looks quite regal and is clearly the focus of the entire shirt. I especially like the way the opponent is denoted within the scroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 That was a very nice shirt.We don't yet know that Nike is dropping the opponent scroll. The centennial mark is obviously just for the one year. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazerBlaze Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Looks like the entire USMNT is wearing short sleeves. Did Nike/USSF not make a long sleeve version for when games are played, IDK, IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING BLIZZARD?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Could be an intimidation/badass thing, given that they're playing a tropical team.

The Nation Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 On this forum, we typically don't talk about football boots. But I thought I'd give it a shot.Nike has released their newest colorways for their range of boots. Nike has 4 types of football boots.1. CTR360 - Used for finesse, control, soft touch, endorsers include Iniesta and Jack Wilshere2. T90 - Strikers boot, popular with goalkeepers as well, endorsers include Wayne Rooney, and Robert Lewendowski3. Mercurial Vapour - Lightweight boot, endorsers include Ronaldo, Walcott, Gotze.4. Tiempo Legend - Classic all around boot. Endorsers include Ronaldinho, Andrea Pirlo.Every quarter, Nike releases these boots in new colors/colorways. There are sometimes minor changes to the boot, but usually it is just a color change. The international break marked the newest batch of boots.Here are the new boots.CTR360T90MercurialTiempo Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
