New Jerseys Thread v. "What was Umbro thinking?"

[FWS93]

I seen it worn and it looked good. They are worn pretty tight though.

I just saw it worn and you are correct. and they have the tech fit version that is tight and also the clima lite version that is standard fit. check in the Argentine forum for picture of both being worn.

The two fit versions of the new Argentina kit. I think thats a great idea. I gotta go with a tech fit maybe one size bigger. Enough to grip the arms, hang a little loose, while still being tense enough to emphasize an opponent pulling it.

The black socks take away from the kit though, white socks are better.

Don't they normally have black socks on the primary kit?

the only newish adidas kit i like thats out right now.
someone described that design on the chest/ribs as "transformer lines" lol...
i kind of really like those transformer lines haha

i hope this kit becomes a template for other kits...just different color usage per team....

I think they use them only when they face opponents who are also wearing white.

I may have been mistaken. After looking at the pictures posted above, that jogged my memory a bit.

I like the retro Argentine crest, hope it stays like that for a while.

LOL at this dude's comment on footballshirtculture!

"Man these adidas world cup 2010 kits I'm seeing are taking me to a very dark place. I'm sat in the shed looking at my Pannini mexico 86 sticker book... Then looking at these current facile adidas creations... then drinking a bit more vinegar and snorting slug pelletts."

Why hasn't adidas moved their logo back to the side of the shirt?! It's driving me crazy.

I wonder if the chest numbers will be back at the center of the shirts? it looks like it might have to for france. also i wonder what the numbers will look like. i guess we will find out a week from Saturday as i hear Argentina will Debut the new kits against Spain in that Friendly

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate it when you pay a pocket full of cash for a replica shirt that doesn't even look like the shirt that the players are wearing? It's pathetic and a stupid idea.

So Puma have gone with long skin-tight shirt with mesh sleeves, and now Adidas have done similar.

Must be to deal with the heat of Africa during the WC. Oh how surprised they'll be June/July...

Interesting that they put the Japan flag over their federation logo...I liked when they put their flag on the back collar. I think it looks better there.

can't share pictures, but I've seen a graphic illustration.

the new (home and away) Swiss Jerseys will also feature the National Flag on the front of the Jerseys above the heart, with the Federation logo on the other chest side and Puma's logo in between.

also interesting: the shorts will also feature the flag. it is placed where the "beltbuckle" would be.

[JediMindTricks]

wow. the japan jersey is making the adidas' ninja turtle template look good.

like the simplicity in argentina's new home jersey, however.

france's would have been nice without the stripes. had they made it look more retro than a modern take on the 98 jersey, i would have liked that.

[GoodDead]

I hear the Portugal away will be white with a green and red verticle line on it.

I'm trying to picture what it will look like with name and number on the back, and I think it will look too crowded.
