And they could use recolored Chelsea or Everton video for game film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In constructing the joke I considered many emojis but figured only the photo would suffice. And, I didn't know the reasoning behind the purple. But now I do, thanks to you and @MJWalker45. So that's good. (BTW, that show jumped the shark, backed up, and jumped the shark again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their player transfer bill had to match the GDP of Germany. Yeah, I think they jumped a shark into a volcano, only to be attacked by a lava shark.

If that design had been placed on the red kit, I think we'd like it more. This needs to only be worn the minimum amount of times and buried next to the ET video games.

Gothamite Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The flag striping is surprisingly effective. But their insistence on putting a sponsor logo every time they can really rankles me.

I know they've had it forever but why are they the only team to do it? They're not quite the only ones to do it - other national teams sell ad space on their training jerseys. The difference is that Ireland does it on their match jerseys. FIFA regulations prohibit them from wearing the ads on the pitch, but Ireland includes them everywhere right up to that limit. Including replicas. It's a shameless cash grab, and fortunately no other association has tried to follow suit. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

njdevs7 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 What makes it even more ironic is that its such a bad logo for a sponsor... What is the sponsor? 3? Does anybody even know what that is?

And every year we have to explain what they are. I almost feel like we're that deaf guy that hands out cards explaining what's going on with that shirt instead of telling you they can't hear you. 54 minutes ago, njdevs7 said: I had no idea.

IT's annoying trying to find an Ireland jersey without the sponsor logos that aren't overpriced authentics from eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdevs7 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 What is the deal with this Leipzig kit? I don't remember it being unveiled, and Red Bull is always strict with their uniforms. Always a white primary, navy secondary, and sometimes a red third kit...never seen a grey one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
