I was a bit disappointed in myself when my home jersey had arrived. I'm pretty impatient! I decided I would go with a Guti home UCL top, but when it arrived without a spanish flag, I had my wife put one on the back...not a big deal. My wife went with an away top this year, Raul. I have a wall of Madrid tops in my home office, she felt it was necessary for her to have at least one with Raul on it. I have to say, the away tops are class. I may order a few from this deal, not bad. I do have my away UCL top coming. I decided to go with Diarra for this one. I just think the man is an absolute stud.
Yea, I may still get the black CL jersey, it is complete fire! Not sure who I would get on it though, may just opt for another Raul. I am on the lookout for a sale of the GK jersey as well, the only player left that I really want to get is Casillas.
the black cl was the first shirt i picked up from this season and man the quality is getting better from adidas. by far it's the comfiest madrid shirt i've ever put on (granted i've only got the previous 4-5 seasons). i've been wanting to get iker on the blue away but after last night's "wall"...um....haha j/k j/k. he still the man! hell i'm still considering buying more before this sale ends.
Didn't know where else to post this, but hopefully somebody could help me out: My wife asked me what I want for Christmas this year, and I basically said a "special" Real Madrid jersey. I'm not talking about a signed jersey, I'm talking about, for example, a Redondo jersey from the late 90's. Does anybody know of any websites where you can pick up jerseys like that? Money isn't an issue. I'm not filthy rich, but some things are just priceless.
You're absolutely right, JR. I've got quite the collection of Madrid tops, and thankfully my home office is pretty large! I've currently got 14 Madrid tops hanging on the walls, not framed, but in a bit of a "guy's guy" type setup--of course it took my wife's womanly touch to make it look great. IF she ends up picking this up for me, it will certainly be framed and prayed to before kickoffs! Her initial reaction was something along the lines of "you'll need to do more than the $155 coat from Victoria's Secret for this..." My reaction: Fine.
Ha. Yeah, I've got the ebay listing open at work until the end. My wife has until 2 minutes remaining to place a bid before I do it anyway. I just hope I don't get into a last minute bidding war with my wife. That would suck!
Oh wow. I want that. He's my favorite madrid player along with zizou. A question though kraayzizou. If you get that (and i certainly hope you do) how're you gonna get it framed. If it shows the front than the redondo no. 6 will be hidden and if it has that than the front with all the sigs will be hidden. If you get do share some pictures.
You wouldn't dare! Now seriously, if somebody on this forum wins this auction and this does not end up wrapped under my Christmas tree, I'll do something drastic.... starting with crying hysterically.... for weeks....
Don't think this dilemma has not crossed my mind. What I'll probably do is frame it showing off the front with the sigs, and then find an away top with Redondo and the no. 6 to frame next to it.... my birthday is January 26 haha!
FYI, my wife has been emailing back and forth with the seller trying to reach a deal as she wasn't able to get a bid in before the auction closed (daughter was sick and had to take her to the doctor's), however, I did add two gems to the collection today (XMas gifts to myself): 1.) 1998/99 Home Adidas #14 J.M.GUTI and the creme de la creme... 2.) 1996/97 Home Kelme #23 GUTI Real Madrid Castilla top!
You lucky dog. That guti castilla jersey is going to be something. P.s Hope your daughter is feeling better now.
This may be a little off topic, but I couldn`t find a more appropriate thread. I wanted to know if you guys knew of any good websites to buy quality, official Real Madrid kits for a good price. I usually go to worldsoccershop.com, but I figured maybe one of you more experienced fans know of an equally reliable place with better prices. Let me know ASAP please, I got a late gift to buy.
Looks like you're shopping at the right time. The Official Real Madrid Soccer Shop has a 30% off sale on some stuff right now. http://www.realmadridshop.com/stores/realmadrid/default.aspx I've ordered from them during one of their other sales. They're run by the same people that run Kitbag, and the jerseys I got were top quality, a low price (since we're in the U.S.), and arrived very quickly from England (about 5 days after purchase). I would highly recommend them. Other places I would recommend: Onion Bag, Soccerplus.net and Soccerpro.com. I've ordered from all these sites, and I haven't had any problems with any of them.
Thanks alot for the heads up about the official RM shop (repped), it ended up giving me the best deal. I shopped around all the other stores and compared prices, and I ended up getting a custom-made 08-09 black Champion`s League Casillas jersey (I know it`s not an offical keeper jersey, but I see Casillas wearing normal outfield player kits during games), and a custom-made royal blue 08-09 away jersey with my Uncle`s last name on it (he claims to be a newly-christened Madridista, so I`m gonna give him the chance to prove it by letting him rep the club on his back), with express shipping for $135. Thanks again.
No problem, I was actually going to recommend the official site anyway and stumbled upon the sale. I think I'm gonna get a personalized black CL jersey to complement the white CL and the blue away jerseys I got during the last sale! Glad it helped you out.
