Nantes Jersey

[HalfManHalfAmazing]

Does anyone know a location that will ship a Nantes Jersey to the United States? The official Nantes website only ships to weird ex French colonies and France itself.

try www. t h e o n i o n b a g .com

(no spaces, i've put them in because BS is so scared of them that they make the name a restricted word.)

They should start paying me commision, because I always refer people to them.

The only one that carried it was Footcenter, at 2x the price of Nantes boutique :( I have to decide if I'm that desperate :)

Edit:

Footcenter does not ship to the US either.

Something illegal about shipping to the US from France?

They should do ship to the US.

The US is available between the list of countries they ship to.

See ETATS UNIS under Pays.

they show up on ebay also ... but it will be made in singapore or something like that.

btw how come the shade of yellow they have been using is kinda on the orangy side ... the shirt color used to be much more "yellow".

the GK shirt is awesome though.

I just watched them play on Saturday, it looked Canary yellow to me. They wouldn't be Les Canaris without that shade of yellow.

Nantes wrote me back, they don't ship to non-French places :(

this above is the shade of yellow they have been using in recent years ...The "true" Nantes yellow is the one that is on the crest ... which can also be seen below in the older kits:

the complete illustrated kit history is shown below and the orangy hue (yellower if you will) started happening in 1999/2000:

The classic Nantes shirt is the Europe1 one from the late 70s. this one:

Technically, the color they were is not Canary yellow. What they are now is Canary.

YES ! I agree with you. Btw they took the "canaris" name from Norwich ... so the next thing to do would be to compare Norwich yellow and Nantes yellow ... very close.

Most supporters will however wear the black away shirt instead of the home shirt as some form of protest against the color hue change !!!

I just made up the above :D ... but it could be true because I noticed a lot of the away shirts in the stands.

hey iougs! Nice to meet you over the weekend.

Yeah, the black away Nantes shirt looks pretty sweet, which is probably why so many fans opted to buy that one. You know, both Nantes kits would look really nice as Subbuteo teams...

[iougs]

Same here Randy ... same here.

yes, the black away kit is really nice ... there's also an all green kit with some yellow on the shoulders that's pretty neat ... I myself have the yellow/green striped eurest kit in my very limited jersey collection.

that one:
