jr79 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'm not thrilled with the lowercase names nor the finely detailed numbers on the Puma kits. They don't come across very well on TV.Some ? namely Paul Lukas ? have dumped on the Lotto kits (Ukraine, Serbia & Montenegro), but I dig them, especially with the Compacta-esque numbers and lettering.Portugal looks sharp this afternoon, as did the Netherlands this morning. But I did think the Dutch numbers were placed too close together and could maybe use a white outline. And I noticed a wide range of shoe colours amongst the Dutch team as well: orange, blue, white, black. I would have thought they'd try to keep that a little more standard. I hated those Lotto kits when I saw pictures but in action they don't look so bad because the flashes are smaller than you think, and actually line up well with the shorts!

Gothamite Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 all are simple, incorporate national themes, and just look good (the england home shirt is also very very comfortable) I'll be in the UK in two weeks, and I'm picking up an England shirt then. Can't wait. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 england home, usa home, and croatia home go 1-2-3 for me. all are simple, incorporate national themes, and just look good (the england home shirt is also very very comfortable) I love the Croatia homes. In fact, when I go to town tomorrow, I'll be looking for one at the local soccer shop. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

sharplcd Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 My fav. jeresy has to be Japan'sWhat?For goodness sakes, it makes the Japanese players look like there's odour vapors coming from their crotch into their armpits.I haven't found a jersey this World cup that I 100% like. USA & Brazil come close though, if it weren't for the meaningless extra outline on the number font. yea ur prob. rite. i still dont change my mind on ecuador though. 4 sure the best jerseys.

harperdc Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 many of the players - like Drogba - put stuff on the chest of their jerseys to help them breathe. But, yeah, it's over 80 degrees and apparently decently humid in Germany, of course everyone's going to be sweating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Horror! http://www.weather.com/weather/local/70542...LocalUndeclared(admittedly, because of Alberto, our humidity is extremely low, as evidenced by my near-nonstop bloody nose. add 30 points to that humidity, and you've got what we normally have.)This does give me an idea. Perhaps I should build a footy practice facility locally and hold summer camps of deat...er training clinics for squads in need of some climatic strengthening...

cranium Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 What I didn't like, which I spotted on Germany's jerseys and someone elses was the three stripes on the shoulder and then the spikey thingy near the shoulder that seems to be on just about everyone's jerseys. Please pardon me for not recognizing the manufacturer of that particular templete. It just seems so unnecessary with the three shoulder stripes.

To go a step further, I would have no objections in seeing it replace the union jack in the national flag.And those navy alts remind me of Australia's international rules guernsneyand is also one of the rare occasions where our official sporting colours (blue and gold) are used.
