Diego Forlan scores a late goal for Man Utd against Southampton today and takes his shirt off in celebration. He then spends the next 2 minutes or so of the match running around shirtless because he couldn't get his shirt back on. Come on, where hardly talking major difficulty here. On a difficulty scale of one to ten, with one being dropping buttered toast onto a carpet, and ten being opening shrink-wrapped bacon without scissors, I'd be hard-pushed to place putting on a shirt much higher than two.
You mean they have "sleeves" and "neck holes"? Actually, I remember a Croatian player having trouble with his shirt and they ended up cutting out the inner layer. DaMarcus had a similar problem with his after scoring in the Jamaica friendly as well.
This summer I believe it was one of the Brazilians who had such difficulty getting his back on after a goal that he ran to the sideline and grabbed a new one. Some of the new uniforms that have the Nike Dry-Fit technology have and inner and outer layer to them and if tangled apparently are complicated to get back on. Still...
I reckon it's a conspiracy between the powers that be and Nike. The whole shirt waving thing wasn't popular with the petty football monarchy - this new kit plays into their hands a little too conveniently for my tastes.
See... it's all falling into place. Actually that makes more sense than mine! No sponsor is going to want the goal scorer to remove their logo just as the camera focusses in on them. I haven't tried one of these new kits on yet, are they really as difficult as they appear to be? Moreover, is this inner lining worth the hassle?
Maybe FIFA will give remedial “Getting into your uniform” classes. First put head “A” into hole “B”…!!!
I envision a Disney short featuring Goofy attempting to put his shirt back on. But hey, I don't mind comparing any Man U player with Goofy.
