Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit I know we've all been waiting and wondering what the home kit would look like and apparently, we've gotten our first taste. So what does everyone think?
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit This was already posted in the jersey thread pretty lame jersey if this is it... I think it MIGHT be a fake but we will have to see what it looks like on the field. I thought the jersey was supposed to be V neck (much like the away jersey) and have gold trim around the badge? this has some funny collar and green around the badge could of been photoshopped from the away jersey its the same crest and put on some red shirt why would red shirt be hangning off a custy coat hanger? I find it offensive someone is treating the national jersey in this way you have to hang it with pride if this is the real shirt. if this IS the jersey then they have to go with the green shorts otherwise I think it would just look stupid much more stupid then the 2006 uniforms.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit Oops sorry, I completely forgot Well I don't think it's that bad, but I would have definitely preferred more use of gold.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit ^^^^^^ Sorry to tell you the shorts are also red. Keep in mind that is a nicer collar when someone is wearing it, the color looks better then in this pic and the only knock is that Gold would of been better around the crest although the green goes well with the jersey and it's a closer resemblance to our flags colors then the 06 kits. Basically watching the team is gonna be the same as in the 06 kits from a far but a much brighter red which is good. Plus, actual Gold font as the 06 "Gold" was actually Mustard. I am liking the jersey not the best ever but creams the 02 kit and the 2000 kit which I do like but the maroon was a bit too dark.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit true I will not judge it until I see the players wearing it the gold numbers will be nice. I really dont like the maroon portugal colours... so understandably my fav shirt is 2004 WC and the older ones. although I think the best jersey was 2006 WC but if it was RED and not Maroon that jersey would have owned every other jersey. i want to get a new red portugal jersey so I hope it is a nice jersey.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit I definatly am going to have to agree with the majority here and have to keep my thoughts on how it look until I see the players actually wearing them. I already got the away jersey for christmas, so this one might just be next on my list. Damn I have too many Portugal jerseys, 5 and counting, not to mention the scarfs and sweaters. The one NT jersey that I really liked but never got a chance of getting one was the one used in the U20's WC. The white one with the collar. Damn that was a sweet jersey, also would make a nice shirt just to wear around.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit I personally think Nike have been dropping the game on their kits of late, this years Manchester Kit is quite plain and dull to me (no matter how much some people like it) I think the last two Portugal kits have been similar (if this is the current one). Personally I have prefered Adidas Designs of late, just more interesting general and just nicer kits. Still know i'll end up buying this though
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit Well, I think Nike's contract with Portugal runs out after euro 2008 anyone know if they signed a new deal or not? so maybe this will be the last nike portugal kit, who knows last I heard Puma is interested in supplying Portugal's kits. I hope Puma makes Portugal's next jersey... I know they will being back the green shorts
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit No way Nike let go of Portugal stock now, not with Ronaldo emerging as a beast....
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit I'm sure Puma will go all out for Portugal but Nike won't let go, what with Ronaldo turning into the main Poster boy for Nike Football and all.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit yeah but with Nike, theyll always stick us in Brazil's shadow. they usually make brazil's jerseys so bad ass and make ours not up to scratch. thats why id rather us go to Puma but only if they gave us our own jerseys like italy has and not give us the usual style they give to Poland, etc and the african teams.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit I personally think the Euro 2004 jerseys were quite superb. I mean I didn't notice it until I saw it up close, but the jersey is detailed all around with our federation insignia. The 2006 WC jersey was one of the most comfortable jerseys I've ever wore. However, the transition into the Euro 2008 jersey doesn't seem so good. Nike made the away jersey too much like the WC jersey and if this is actually our home jersey, I'm not too pleased with it. I do like Adidas job with France and Argentina. If they could duplicate something like that for us than I'm all in for it. However, I wasn't too thrilled with Mexico's jersey transition from Nike to Adidas and actually thought they were better off wearing Nike. I'm sure Nike will do all it can to renew it's deal with Portugal and unless Adidas throws themselves in, I doubt anyone else will grab us. Puma doesn't have the cash to compete with Nike.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit Well Ive heard before Puma wants to make Portugal's kit but like everyone said Nike will be tough to match. Nike gave Portugal good 04 kits cuz we were the host. Problem is, I cant wear my red 04 Rui Costa 10 jersey since I got him to sign that badboy when he was in Toronto to play against Toronto FC. Adiddas makes good gear, but the 3 stripes on the shoulder thing is boring. and our jersies will probably end up always looking like Spain's
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit More Pics!credit simon2020 who posted it in another thread: Nice Color ...Class Very Nice.
Re: Nike Portugal 2008/09 Home Kit Im hoping to see these jerseys in action during tomorrws friendlies to get a better look of them. As far as Nike's contract ending, there is no way that Nike isn't going to renew, especially with Ronaldo quickly becoming the face of the franchise, as some have already stated.
Wow...Jersey is much nicer when worn. Good prediction GoodDead. Now comes the difficult part, should I put Ronaldo, Nani, or Quaresma on the back?
