I thought it looked quite good when I saw the pictures the other day but now I have seen these proper ones, I absolutely love the shirt! Best Italy shirt EVER IMO. I cannot wait to get my hands on one, will look even better with the names and numbers added. Good work Puma!
Its simple and looks way better than the away shirt, the gold looks classy... I'll give it an 8.5 out of 10.
Currently, it is only available on this online site: http://www.footcenter.fr/en/home.html But, have to wait for 2 weeks ---- pre-order!!!
Amazing. I love it, 9/10. Hopefully we can play as nice as the jersey is; if that makes sense. Forza Azzurri
Wow that is gorgous. the lettering should make the jersey look twice as nice. hopefully the lettering isnt the lower case children font the one puma uses normally.
LOL you guys all went from hating it in the other thread to blowing your load with the full size photo.
I liked it in the original picture but knew it would look better in the proper picture. And i'm not disappointed - it is an awesome Italy shirt!
Well this picture is better and I like the colour of the blue, but I don't really like the gold to be honest. I wonder what it'll look like on a player.
i'm kind of disappointed, i mean, its alright and everything but it doesn't blow me away. don't ask me what should change, it just doesn't grab my attention. it kind of reminds me of the 2002 euro with the colored collars and sleeve tips. i wonder if there is going to be a number on the front. having said that, it may look awesome on a player
There should be number on the center of the jersey. Just like the current home jersey that was using. FIFA stated that there should be numbers at both front and back when teams compete in competitive tournaments like World Cup and etc.
If they are using a similar material to Nike, I hope on the longsleave shirts the arms are a tight-stretchy material too, instead of baggy ones. Kinda like this....
I like the colors but the style is nothing special........I need to see it with names and numbers. I wish they would start making nicer jerseys...the best italy jerseys were the KAPPA ones! Puma makes crap jerseys for everyone and i dont like the small fonts either.
I like the jersey, but I'm getting a little tired of the gold trim. I know it celebrates the world cup win and everything, but I want to go back to the traditional azzurro/white, with white numbers and letters.
Meh, it's a decent looking jersey, but nothing special in my opinion. If find they went a tad overboard with the goal trimming. It looks a little too flashy with the glossy blue fabric in my opinion. I also would've liked it to have been a collared shirt similar to the away kit instead of a v-neck. In all honesty, if I'd have to choose between this one and the new away kit I'd probably go with the away kit.
Puma designed all of their new jerseys all the same just different colors for the different nations. http://www.footballshirtculture.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=39
Awesome looking kit,by the way will this one have the same thermo bonded construction (no stitching) as the previous one...?
It's a decent jersey, but Puma still haven't given us the same design quality we've had in the past from other sponsors. It's even sader now that we share a template with a dozen other nations. The collar is definitely a mistake, and might be the worst we've ever had on a home jersey next to the one from Euro '96. The gold highlights, which look subtle and classy on the away shirt, unfortunately look gaudy and unsophisticated on the azzurri. Everyone should take a look at the Brazil away kit to see how blue and gold can work together to create something beautiful. I suppose it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, it's Italy, and we'll still look better than anyone else rocking their own national colours.
trust me after our first game with them, everyones gonna say "omg their so nice, im buying one....etc.." lol ...seriously they look really nice, and during a game they'll look even better.
