Still confused as to why Man City is playing a friendly after their regular season got underway, against Barcelona no less.

That City third is what United's should have been. With the V instead of the sash.

North Texas' women's soccer team came out with new Celtic type hoops for their season opener.

Usually college teams have the basic all white or dark unis, with basic templates.

These are a nice change.

Man City unveil new third kit.

Gotta say, reminds me a little bit of their crosstown rivals.

Red and black have been traditional City away colors, and the sash is an old City design as well.

I see.

I like the way teams have been doing these throwback looks lately. I loved when Inter did this a couple of years ago, and the same with these. I can dig it.

Looks old school like 96 jersey:

Ugh I hate the Germany. Looks like it belongs in the 90's. They actually think that'll sell merchandise?

[gosioux76]

The Germany kit is not a terrible design, it's just lacking color, which might be what they're going for.

[scottyvoodoo]

That Germany jersey is horrible. To me it seems like they thought that the simple "retro" jerseys that Nike did for the last few years were so good they would give a shot without proper execution.

[kc51design]

This is not the new GErmany design, that one is quite old. THe new one i simple with black badge and flag colours running 3 stripes through the badge, but really thin stripes.

Wow I've got to admit that Germany one is actually stellar. I love the 11 stripes on the front, with the middle 3 being the national colors. One thing that irks me is the cuffs seem a bit too big.

[MJWalker45]

adidas should have finished the stripes instead of going with the separation where the tourney logos will go

I'm kinda happy that the Galaxy's away kit will be intact for next season. I freaking LOVE that kit. Can't wait to see the new one.

That said, I can't really get too excited about these new kits, considering that the changes will probably be minimal or just a change in template at most.

Just a quick note, footballshirtculture.com has an interesting interview with the managing director of Umbro Ireland which suggests that the new Ireland home shirt will be a tailored kit.

Actually, I can also say that the Republic of Ireland ?s next home kit will be tailored and the internal reaction to the prototype has been phenomenal. Let's hope it gets worn in South Africa next year!

Standard Chartered PLC is looking to raise its profile with potential customers in Asia, Africa and the Middle East by sponsoring the Liverpool Football Club, highlighting the global reach of English Premier League football and its widening fan base.

The four-year deal between the club and the emerging-markets-focused bank comes at a time when other financial-services firms are cutting back on sponsorship deals. U.S. government-supported American International Group Inc. will save about £14 million ($23.3 million) a year by taking its logo off shirts worn by Liverpool rivals Manchester United when its promotion agreement ends next year.

the bank and football club agreed not to disclose the cost of the sponsorship; U.K. media reports put the price tag at £80 million. A Standard Chartered spokesman said the charge is "a significant portion of the bank's marketing budget, but we believe it's a cost-effective way to raise our profile and represents good value for money."

The football club's current shirt-sponsorship deal with Danish brewer Carlsberg AS, running through 2010, reportedly cost £7.2 million a year. The contract had run since 1992, making it the longest club partnership in the Premier League.

Carlsberg on Monday said it intends to keep a close working relationship with Liverpool despite not being able to reach an agreement to renew the contract. (Credit: WSJ)

Liverpool is going to look so weird without Carlsberg on their kits anymore

There is also the talk of England banning alcohol advertising on kits.

[jr79]

Non-alcohol/non-gambling sponsors are the only ones you can rely on to ensure your shirts are sold in every market to both children and adults.

Liverpool fans are already unhappy there's some blue in the SC logo... hopefully its done in plain white on the shirts
