    I've also started a Euro 2020 kit tracker on the mothership, in case anyone might find that sort of thing useful: https://news.sportslogos.net/2021/06/11/euro-2020-kit-tracker/soccer/

     

    Notably there have been three red vs. white matchups out of the first four matches. It could have been 4-for-4 if Finland wore their white kits against Denmark today.

     


    good stuff dude

    The Football Association (FA), the governing body of soccer in England, launched England Football this week, an organization designed “to represent, unite, and promote football participation in England.” With it comes a new stylized Three Lions logo. “England Football aims to create more chances for people to play, coach and

    Adidas Releases Jerseys for Euro 2020 Host Cities (and Then Some)

    May 9, 2021 - 15:44 PM

    With the pandemic-delayed Euro 2020 soccer tournament finally set to kick off on June 11 in Rome, adidas has released a series of jerseys honoring each of the 11 host cities, plus a few more. Soccer blog Footy Headlines posted photos of all 15 jerseys last week. Most are inspired

    Italy 2021-22 Away & Goalkeeper Kits Leaked - Footy Headlines

    Italy and Puma coming out with a different way to do soccer kits. Different outlets are calling these the away kits, but I believe they will be the training jerseys, based on Austria's shirt not having a badge and the Czech Republic's logo being so diminutive in comparison to the Puma logo.

    Apparently so was I. France wears the World Cup patch, I was mixing up their World Cup badge with the one won by Spain in 2012. But that was only worn in the Confederations Cup in 2015.

    In the Confederations Cup 2013 and before (I miss that tournament btw) all teams always wear their continental winners badge

     

    also, your above photos Spain wore a bade for being Euro 2012 winners throughout their 2016 Euro qualifying campaign. 

     

    The whole badge thing isnt as consistent as we hope.

    Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you a little bit on this one. People making 10 cents an hour to stitch shoes together is a TERRIBLE abuse of human rights, and absolutely should be fought. But by the time this particular World Cup rolls around, there could be somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500-5,000 human deaths associated with construction. That's absolutely mortifying. 

     

    um...maybe up to 5,000 human deaths? 

     

    Im gonna go look that up, I didnt know it was so much. Lord have mercy

    I agree that there's no ethical consumption under captialism. But that doesn't mean you have to turn your brain off and recognize increasingly terrible and increasingly shocking uses of slave labor.

     

    If we don't point out the excesses of Qatar, it just makes a North Korea World Cup that much more likely. Not sure if you've noticed the recent global rise of authoritarianism, but tacit acceptance of mingling sports and fascism ends up bad for everyone. Or at least it did in 1936.

    Ok, so are you going to boycott the World Cup?

     

    Its important to call out Qatar for what they are doing with these migrant workers and I have, but im not boycotting a World Cup. I LOVE World Cups too much

    Slave labour be damned, right?

     

    If you consider that "slave labor" then you are cool with most of those Nike gear you are wearing made in sweatshops in China huh? 

     

    Most corporations in USA are using prisoners for 10 cents and hour to manufacture parts. Its a cruel world we live in, so if your gonna single out Qatar and their methods of building their World Cup stadium then be critical of all the messed up labor that permeates society. 

     

    Listen, its not the best circumstance and I wish it wasnt awarded, but at this point lets move ahead and enjoy the World Cup. Simple
