MJWalker45 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Agreed,The Old Lady will still look good slumming in Serie C....Wonder if sponsors have bailout clause for relegation? Most of the big sponsors (Nike, adidas, Puma) have bailout clauses if a side drops a division. It'd be intersting to see if Nike abandons a big team like Juventus though. Seeing as they wouldn't be likely cosidered to ever be relegasted they may not have the clause in their contract. And I can't see adidas abandoning Milan if they get dumped to Serie B. But of course I doubt that this will happen anyways. The courts are just as crooked as the teams and money still speaks loudly there too. I'd be extremely surprised if anything happens other than hefty fines by all the teams involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Pretty much hefty fines is all i expect, and maybe a few points deducted at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 OK, so this is totally off topic (not the first time I have asked an off-topic question in the history if this thread) but, does anyone know why they are called "kits?" Not "uniforms" or "clothes" or "jersies." Kits.It has been driving me nuts. I really hate the word "kit," and so I hope there's some logical reason for using it. I mean, I can understand "first aid kit" and "My First Magic Kit" and even "Model Airplane Kit," but "Football Kit?" I don't get it. I'm not Brit, but I like British frases. Kit is not just a shirt (also proper British, not jersey) it's the complete uniform. Why kit, probably as every other kit, it's made up of more then one part. Aussies call it Guernsey.Another off topic stattement. This topic is titled 2006-2007, should we open a new topic or rename this topic into 2007-2008? Just FYI they are called shirtsd over here because originally they were proper shirts. Look at original pictures of soccer games, and the buttons go all the way down even, with long sleeves. The 'kit' does indeed refer to the whole thing, not just the shirt. And really as mentioned that comes from the idea of calling the complete lot of equipment for any sport 'kit'. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie_delini Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Fullhamodd shoulderthingFulham's sponsor has a new logo, which gives the kit a much cleaner look. Pipex's old identity was horrid. I prefer the old Pipex logo and the old kit overall. funny you posted that image there - i created that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Sporting Lisbon switched to Puma...VfB Stuttgart are looking classy and piping-less once againfound those both on Kitbag.and if the white/green quartered are the Bremen away, what the hell's the Bremen home? No jerseys are up for this year on their shop, can't find anything else...gah. they looked so much better a few years ago when they won the League. should've gotten one of those shirts when I had the chance...

It generally refers to sleeved garments, its just that AFL teams ditched the sleeves at some stage but kept calling them guernseys.Guernsey is probably a bit more outdated now, and jersey is used far more frequently.

No and Juventus and the other teams shoudn't be demoted. The people involved with the scandel should be gotten rid of and thats all teams being demoted isn't as big a deal as it would be in the United States. Two teams were relegated weeks, if not days before the Italian top league Serie A started last year for some major infractions (can't remember them right now, don't think they were match fixing though). Olympique Marseille were demoted the year after they won the Champion's League and French league after financial irregularities and match fixing. It's a harsh penalty.Besides, most of the perpetrators have already fled - Juventus' board resigned en masse days after the allegations came out. Others may be jailed. I don't think Berlesconi (AC Milan's president and formerly president of Italy) has immunity anymore, so he should be fair game too should Milan be found guilty.----------[edit] for the Gooners out there, if you go try and pre-order a new '06/07 jersey, take a look at the player numbers. In this way you will find out that Fabregas will wear #4, Toure will wear #5, and Rosicky will wear #7 this season. I like all the changes.

Forgive the non-Arsenal fan but who had those numbers before?4 was Vieira of course, who was #5 and #7? BIG BIG step up into the #4 shirt for Cesc!Liverpool playing Wrexham on Saturday in their first pre-season game so unless its shirts vs skins we'll finally see one of the new kits in action surely?Can't wait to see how many disappointed people bought one of those fakes off ebay!

Wilt Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 #7 belonged to Pires, as far a I know there was no one wearing #5 last season. Martin Keown had it until 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theLOFTstudio Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 smart move not having rosisky sport #10... i assume that will be off limits for at least a couple of seasons. rosisky is superb and has been catching wenger's eye since they played dortmund in the CL back a few years, but he's not mr. bergkamp.as for cesc... glad to see him get the new number... not glad that i bought a redcurrant with #15... but then again, the redcurrant jersey is timeless. i personally would have liked to seen cesc grab #5 and toure #4, but thats personal preference.sorta off topic.. but does anyone know if they are broadcasting the dutch master's testimonial in the US? i'm hoping for at least PPV. just cant wait to see the boys run out onto the Ashburton Grove pitch.

gosioux76 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Manchester United away (this was on Eastbay, so I assume it's real): That's a nice looking shirt, though I think the black -- especially on the crest -- is really out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
