jeremyb Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I agree the new Isreal crest looks similar to the Irish crest at quick glance. I like it though, it is a nice effect that they used to make the Star of David, I like the crest better with Hebrew script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think it's a little more than "similar at quick glance":Common design elements reworked, including the "circles-forming-shamrock" adapted into "ribbons-forming-Star of David".

officeglenn Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Here's Irel.....err Israel's new crest.Hmmm ... interesting. There are elements of it I like, but there are also elements of it I think they'll regret in a few years time, like the rounded-off font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Besides the obvious Ireland knockoffery, it really chafes me that it says Israel in English, not Hebrew.Call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't the country's name on its national football crest should be in the national language of said country?

Its a sell out imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hebrew is on one of the other logos. Each different colored logo has a different language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Interesting - so the alternate versions are for domestic cup competitions and officials? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 that'd be my guess too. Instead of using the same crest on all the different things - like how the Italian referees use the Italian FA crest - they slightly change it. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie_delini Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Found this at footballshirtculture.com - sounds like Wigan opted out of their contract with Umbro for a deal with Champion.

Interesting.http://www.footballshirtculture.com/200805...ch-details.htmlMan, I didn't know even know that Champion still existed, much less still made kits. As for the new kits of the day, Werder Bremen released their 2008-09 home and away today (props to Kappa for stepping up their game recently; first with Roma and now these beauties!): Portsmouth officially released their new, all-blue home strip:Finally, the player numbers for Euro 2008 have been released. Sidney Govou is the unlucky man who will follow Zizou (Zinedine Zidane to those of you who aren't fans of Les Bleus) as the wearer of number 10 for France. Good luck, young fella...you're gonna need it. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!

Lord_Jeff Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wow, Kappa's branding on the Roma and Werder Bremen jerseys makes Puma's use of its logo look positively subtle by comparison. I didn't think that was possible. As for the Pompey kits, there are just too many different things going on. The vertical stripe on the rear, the horizontal stripe on the socks, the piping, the swirly side panels, Canterbury's three-dot thing, it's just too much, IMHO. And I wish they'd kept the white shorts and red socks, although I guess it would have been tough to pull off with all the gold in the jersey.

DEAD! Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Werder Bremen's are nice, but they really should have had a green kit. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
