World Cup 2010 Jersey Discussion Thread

I prefer the usual navy, but that is a good change, and is a great retro throwback that edudes a strong sense of nostalgia. Nice!

 

that is what the chelsea home jersey should have been. not all that weird chest piping stuff.

yes i agree, im really starting to appreciate the more retro looking jerseys that are a bit more simplistic yet understated. not a bunch of crazy ridiculousness all over the place.

 

Maybe some sort of homage to the constellation of stars on the Brazillian flag?

 

Anyone else see that Fernando Verdasco has been playing in Spain's new WC shirt, in the Davies Cup. There are plenty of photos up on Getty if you like.

 

That's what I reckoned it would look like - a throwback to '66. Would rather just pick up a Toffs in any case.

 

oh the its gone, heck ... I have one here.

 

I'm thinking through which jerseys I may want to buy (apart from my own NT's), and I'll toss a couple of questions out there:


Do Adidas/Nike/Puma vary just on the level of quality of manufacture?

And-- how about authenticity? For the most part, is what you see on the field what you get from your retailer? And is the Adidas two-tier pricing structure ($150USD for Techfit, $70 for 'replica') likely to be adopted by other makers?

 

Not too keen on that England shirt, still, i guess its better than the current away shirt.

Yup. Here is the story behind it:

I have a quick question. I was thinking about getting the new Germany 09/11 kit as I think it is really classy looking. But when I look at soccer.com where I might buy it from there are two choices. One kit is $70 but there's another one that says "adidas Germany Limited Edition Home TechFit Jersey." What if any difference is the so called TechFit which is $150 as opposed to the other one that looks the same, but is cheaper at $70? Sorry if this has already been asked.

 

TechFit is like the Adidas BaseLayer(if you ever played soccer or seen Gerrard and co wearing them after they took off their jersey)

Basically the TechFit one is exactly what the players wear on the pitch, tight fitting and everything is ironed, the crest and stripes instead on sewn.

The TechFit only comes in M and L so if you are not in a great shape, you could always settle for the replica one.

 

so stoked...got one of my favorite world cup jerseys off ebay finally! and in my XL size, woot! (pardon my fugly mug lol)



USA world cup 92-94 jersey! i really like how the stripes go across the shoulder and onto the back. anywho i know this is the 2010 world cup jersey thread, but what the hell....only off by 16 years lol

plus its crazy to think i got this jersey brand new and its 16 years old....

 

Like the jersey mate....and it's OK to go ahead and exhale now.....

 

i cant help my man boobs

 

Loving the retro usa top, would love a retro ireland 1 from world cup 94!

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Any more news on the WC shirts? Any news perhaps on expected away shirt colours for the Adidas teams, other then Argentina?

BTW, has any1 bought a WC shirt yet? I've seen loads of locals wearing the new South Africa shirt - I hate the colour. I've seen all the other shirts in the shops, except for, and sadly, Japan. The Spain shirt is just too bright to wear casually. The Mexico shirt is comical. The German shirt could look good. The shade of French shirt looks quite classy. The Russia shirt (yes, I know they're not in the WC) is almost cool. Almost. I think it needed a collar.

 

Portugal’s Away Kit:
- White shirt with a green and red vertical bar going up the shirt.

The Russia kit is a beauty, pity they are not in the WC. I have gotten a Russia and Germany kit. very nice. I am thinking of getting the box set version as well. For Japan kits, they are currently being sold in Japan, you can try getting them online.

 

The Japan shirt is the best one Adidas made for the World Cup. I've only just gotten used to the Spain one.
