Eastern European Fashion Review, version 3.0

Let's try this one more time. Pics of any EE kits, past or present, club or country, gaudy or gorgeous, pleasant or putrid. Commentary & opinions encouraged.

I'll start with a couple pics of the Neva lads.

Zenit vs. Swiss side Grasshoopers in UEFA Cup action, 2002.

Zenit vs. Andorran side Encamp in UEFA Cup action.
The outrageously ugly Andorran strips are perfectly matched with an even more outrageous haircut. Edgar Davids, you ain't.

Dinamo Kyiv vs. Bestikas in the Champions League, 2002...will Dinamo ever NOT have an Adidias kit?

Dinamo Kyiv's dark kit....classy. Opponent is Lokomotiv Moscow, December 2002 friendly.

New Zenit kit?? A return to Adidas?? Well, kinda...

http://afz.zenitspb.org/images/afz_uniform_sm.jpg

Think of this as the not-even-remotely-close-to-semi-professional Zenit side :-) But a damn fine jersey, nonetheless.

For evidence, I present this:

Shurik, I eagerly await your valued opinion. BTW, Shurik, in case you are interested....

FC Constructorul-93 Ciobruciu are now known as FC Tiraspol. They are a de facto farm team of the Moldovan champions Sheriff Tiraspol, although the two sides play in the same division.
The red and green in their kit, I assume, are a reference to the flag of the unrecognized Transistrian Moldavian Republic, a renegade separatist state, of which Tiraspol is the capital.

I was at this game, and I must say that the Moldovan side was terrible. Perhaps they just had a bad day, but they didn't even threaten the Synot keeper for most of the match.

I will try to dig up some pictures of Czech and Slovak clubs....

[Zenit]

Ugh....still trying to find the front! Zenit's new Umbro kit for 2003...

[Shurik]

The ole white armpits, huh?

I see they've returned to royal blue after one year's flirtation with sky blue.

[Zenit]

Yup....the pic looks kinda funny, like the camera had some kind of goofy filter on it. But the goal clips vs. Saturn also are that very same dark royal color. STILL haven't found a good pic of the front....with me, Umbro kits are kind of hit and miss...either I really like them (their more traditional designs) or they are god-awful ugly. Can't say I think those white armpits are that great, either, and the b/w pics of the training kits they had on this spring showed a big ugly dark stripe running wrist to wrist, crossing the shoulders above the logo. ugh. Thankfully this doesn't appear on the game kits. The shorts they were wearing vs. Saturn had two big white side panels and a white striped waistband -- way too busy, look like boxing trunks.

Not a great pic, but the only one I can find....Super-Kerzha drilling the winner past Saturn.

[Zenit]

Better pics ....

Looks like they put a Ford logo on the left sleeve, too.

Well, that is an unwelcome addition to the backside.
