Dress for Success...Euro 2008 Shirt Thread

[benztown]

Another look at the German away shirt. I didn't really like it at first, but now that I have seen the team wear it, I think it's not so bad after all.

Adidas doesn't tell a country's football federation what colors they will wear...:rolleyes:

Um no, that isn't the Dutch home for 2008. It's been posted in these threads a bunch of times and it's for sale everywhere.

it seems like it :(
they still have the white one but it's a training jersey

stupid adidas marketing department! :D
Has France ever worn red? Because I don't recall. A bit strange and untraditional. Does this mean the white is the 3rd shirt or gone for now?

[GoodDead]

It's gone until Nike takes over in 2 years.

Why is it gone "until" Nike takes over?

[GoodDead]

Well maybe Nike will bring it back but these are the last Adidas France kits.

I know that...but the people that decide will be the those powers within the FFF!

[Joelzinho]

I don't know if anyone has thought of this or talked about it. But how smart was Nike's upper management in sponsoring Portugal NT in 2000...

I bet you they knew about Ronaldo and Quaresma before anyone.lol

[Messi-ah]

nike should go out of business, fukin garbage styles last 6 years!
Worst jerseys for euro 2008 are:

1) turkey away kit (a flag patch on a white t-shirt, and for 90$! )
2) france jersey, disprortioned emblems, and designs
3) greece jersey

not when nike gives them the highest deal for a NT soccer jersey ever:

42,66M€ a year on a 7 year contract :eek: it's twice what adidas was paying for it so far

The one thing I'm really happy about re: the Dutch shirts is that our FA has never allowed Nike to do them poncey gold numbers. They're almost as bad as gold football boots.

[Lusankya]

yep because of the color
red isn't ours, of course it's on the flag but I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to me, maybe cause I'm not used to it yet :o

anyway that's the last adidas shirt they'll have for a long time, maybe adidas marketing dept are betting on a vintage collector ;)
It's not just red, it's black, red, gold our national colors. In other sports nearly all german teams has this kind of colors on their trikot.
It's a unique color distribution and i like it more than our old Ireland away jerseys. ;)

They do? I don't think so. White is the German color when it comes to sports. Look at athletics, hockey, basketball, etc.

There are some exceptions, but usually it's white. White used to be our racing color as well until the first silver arrow was slightly too heavy and they had to take off the color. And since it has been so successful, our racing color has been silver ever since...

Gold on orange would look incredibly stupid...on other colors it can work though, eg. the German away shirt looks pretty good with the gold IMHO.

It's just wrong on any shirt in my view.

I mean the away Jerseys are nearly all red and black or gold.

you're right, I wasn't paying attention.

But the shirt itself isn't anything worth looking at.

The combination with Nassau Blue socks is
