true, I think they are nice! but as you said, not good visible..I think Belgium will wear the new kit for the first time march 1 against Luxembourg.
Right I don't know what I was thinking. Apologies to Sharule and Expatswede for any confusion. Umbro as I recall do release kit's on a yearly basis. What I can't figure out is why the came out only with a home 2005 kit (unless I completely missed the 2005 away) The new away was leaked a long time ago so I figured it was 2005-2006 but as we now know it is 2006 only. I would assume the home for England would be very similar (can anyone say cookie-cutter) so it will be white only question is will they still have gold numbers or their traditional blue?
Umbro (England) only change one of the Kits a Year. So last Year we got a new Home Kit, this Year we get a new Away Kit.
I have a picture of the new Italy kit. I think it is Pasqual wearing it, but I dont know how to post a picture. It is the one that has been doing the rounds that looks like a training kit. Doesn't have the puma on shoulder or number on right side of chest like the other Puma WC shirts. It is awful IMO. Really rubbish.
The new jersey will launch tomorrow 3-1-06, check on soccer.com and you should see it. I am looking at one right now
Here is the best photo I've seen so far, not showing on soccer.com yet www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag_4_5/products/kit_selector.aspx?selector=35
Italy must not be allowed to wear their away kits! They're hideous. The home's are nice, but the away's are the worst in the WC by far.
Now, c'mon. It don't get any more uglier than our own (France's) away jersey. Far worse than Italy's away if you ask me.
Problem is that picture is not the correct Italy away jersey, that is one of Puma salesman samples. They change the Italy logo, moved it up so you can see the whole logo. And also if you put numbering and players names on this jersey it will look quite different and not too bad if you ask me. Tomas
Errm damn thats a huge pic, my bad! Anyways looks like most Iranians are not happy with the plain Puma Jersey, and are bombing them with E-mails and threatining that they won't buy the jersies unless Puma makes some changes to them... :S
hehe looks like nobody can agree on one design, so maybe thats why Puma chose to go with nothing in the background eh?
C'mon who you fooling? Everyone knows Homer Simpson is in fact a Portugal fan. He'd even kill himself if they lose to Mexico.
me being portuguese, I must say that portugals new uniform is quite hideous! very plain with red shorts? theres no green...now theyre different than latvia or something. they look horrible.
I agree the all maroon ./red look doesnt suit them dont look like Portugal nike just magically gives them a completely different uniform from anything they ever had before.
