totc Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I thought I had seen it all -- the single stripe on the Puma socks, the squigglies on the Nike Park socks, and the sponsorships on Mexican club socks (OXXO for Jaguares and Tigres).Boca Juniors wore argyle socks last Sunday against Banfield.AAUGH!!!!!!

Stampman Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It's different, it's soccer--no big deal--I kind of think they fit--but if this were the CFL or NHL, I'd be retching right about now---but for soccer they work.

Fred T. Jane Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 they look pretty cool!!! no kidding. And they were wearing them as throwbacks. They get a pass. [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.

rmered Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Argyle Socks?I scoff at them. I point and laugh.In 5 years time they will be an answer to a trivia question "who really wore this rubbish in a real game?"As for the others, meh, I don't care either way. The ads are small. On the field they'd probably blend in. Oh, and I've got a site.Footy Jumpers Dot Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, your right soccer is different, soccer teams can do some crazy things and get away with it. I think it's becasue there's so many soccer clubs that want to look unique, they come up with these designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
