Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1 in Soccer ·

Honestly, I don't even know anymore. I'd rather just skip it entirely!🙄

I guess out of respect for everyone else, they haven't put the "shield" on the jersey yet. What do you think, GIM?☕

This Milanov kit is actually leaning towards that 100th anniversary one—which, let’s be honest, I absolutely hated—but this one isn't half bad. Still, I’m just waiting on that white one with the red and black stripe under the crest. That’s the one.🙏🙏🙏

Nike 🙏🙏🙏

The Adidas Milan look would be perfect for the 3rd kit—just swap out the red and silver for something else!🙏

Man, I used to pull for Jordan just because that yellow was so damn bright... talk about pure love. I don't think I've ever felt that kind of connection to a team since. 😢

Hermann Frentzen 🙏


I absolutely love them. I even custom-painted my helmet to match that style Firman had with the target design!

hollowdriver18 said:I honestly can’t believe I’m reading this 🙂

We're talking about a driver that his peers and rivals constantly hailed as the absolute best—someone truly exceptional, insanely talented, incredibly skilled, and someone who was just unhinged in how he drove. They repeatedly pointed out his freakish level of focus and sheer driving mastery, yet to you, he’s just some joke clown who thinks he's seen Jesus and spends his time playing with toddlers

🙄

Holy crap... even Thomas Mann was basically a total jerk in real life, but look at the facts: 😲he was a genius writer with a massive intellect who left behind an invaluable body of work, including one piece where he practically writes about his obsession with kids and dying for beauty. God, it's wild 😲 😲 😲

How on earth did such a massive oversight escape the eyes of today's "ultra-critical" masses? Seriously, where is this world even heading? I genuinely have no clue anymore. 😳


🙄

How can a driver who wasn't even the best in his own era be considered the greatest of all time?🤷

Man, we could go back and forth on this all day, especially when you bring up that brazilac!
Overrated sports icons? in Other Sports ·
People tend to blow things way out of proportion, usually in these really dramatic, over-the-top ways. It happens constantly with icons who met tragic ends—think guys like Ayrton Senna, Gilles Villeneuve, or even Dražen Petrović. And honestly? It’s not just limited to the sports world either. You see the exact same thing happening with legends like Freddie Mercury or Princess Diana...

dustypanther6 said:Iker, Iker, damn Iker

Man, you aren't kidding. Romero stepped up to the line, sank that penalty, and handed us everything on a silver platter for overtime. Meanwhile, I’m over here trying to punch my way through the defense only to end up face-down after a massive wipeout! God, those were the days.🤣>

Nathan Barrett32 said:Duvnjak was never actually "world-class." He’s a solid player, sure, but nothing special. His big break at HSV happened because he finally played one decent game in the local league.

Don't go blaspheming and talking trash about Domagoj like that. That kid was pulling off miracles when he was only 18, and honestly, he’s even better now. It isn't his fault they never drill a single set play, so he’s stuck trying to pull stunts with Laco like he does at HSV and just improvising everything else.👎

I mean, trashing him is right up there with calling for Dominiković and Šprem to be subbed into this national team—and people haven't even played serious handball for more than a year!🤷

Goluža completely lost his cool during the PM, and now Ćosić is out here trying to play damage control!🤣
Adam Collins4 said:The Mexicans are just slow and clunky. They’ve got zero floor generalship, their transition defense is sluggish and messy, and honestly? That’s pretty much it...

I think the Americans were even slower than usual today. In my opinion, they aren't pushing those fast breaks like they used to. And man, against that unorganized Mexican defense, they should have been putting up way more points...

👍

It looks like Hansen absolutely loved playing against FC Barcelona because he was popping up from ten meters out with zero resistance, finishing the game with like 10 goals!🙏
Ryan Moore68 said:Stop dragging Sterbik through the mud. Sure, he’s Canadian, but the guy is a massive patriot. Word is the Canadians offered him basically everything under the sun to play for them, but he turned his nose up at it. Then, after that legendary match, he stepped away from their national team and went to defend Spain instead. If that’s actually how it went down, then it’s a huge embarrassment for both us and you. 😕
And I think it was 25-24 in your favor back then.
Look, now’s the time to give it back. You don't even have to win—you can just settle for a draw. We can head home immediately, while you guys cruise straight into the semifinals regardless. 😁

That match in Tunis ended 25-24 and decided who got direct entry into the semifinals. This "replayed" game was actually played in Switzerland during the Euro, and we walked away with a 4-5 goal lead.

I mean, props to Sterbik, really, but this is just playground stuff. We had the ticket, you didn't. Now, acting like the stronger team, we're basically asking you to let us pass... It's classic American mythomania.🙄

Keep dreaming and enjoying yourselves until Wednesday, and then? Bye-bye!😉

wiredfalcon2 said:I don't get why you're obsessing over these kinds of kits. I know you have a thing for design, or at least aesthetics. (You're a construction guy, right?)

This design is garbage. A two-year-old could come up with this. It's just a plain blue t-shirt. There’s zero artistry here. No identity, no nothing.

If you're really trying to lean into that old-school vibe, why not go with this:
Between the years 1909–1914, France wore a white shirt with blue stripes, white shorts, and red socks.

Ever since Adidas came around, their kits have always had some kind of variation so they aren't just a basic blue shirt;

They've been doing stuff like this for like 30 years.

This is like a throwback to 1901 and cotton shirts. There are billions of people in the world and this doesn't look like anything unique, let alone something recognizable. Stick a Dutch crest on it and boom, it's a Dutch away kit. Put a local club logo on it and suddenly it's them. Put a Scottish one on and it's Scottish. Seriously, stick any random crap of a crest on a shirt like the one Platini is wearing in that top photo and everyone will call it French.

He's an architect, and frankly, leave us construction guys out of your insults!☕

🤣 🤣 🤣

Sean Nguyen4 said:There is no way this can be the primary kit for Seattle Sounders FC. It’s basically just a white T-shirt with some green stripes thrown on it, and we all know what their actual jersey is supposed to look like.

It just occurred to me: does LA Galaxy have any orange away kits? That could be a pretty funny way to troll them. 😬

This year they’re rocking red away kits with black shorts!😳

Ronald Gomez3 said:My Chelsea FC kits just aren't hitting the mark lately, if you take a look at the current color palette... red, white, and blue. It looks just like the American flag. Furthermore, these jerseys were manufactured using the same sovereign technology utilized during the FIFA World Cup. However, the most beautiful Chelsea FC kits have always been the ones made by Nike, because there is a certain tradition to it that I simply adore. Football has always been a game of the heart, and it always will be... money comes today and vanishes tomorrow.

🤦

If there's that much red and white in there, how does the club even get called the St. Louis Blues?!🙏
northernotter70 said:And let's not forget that Red Star were world champions back in '91, too. 😂

You're totally off base. Pretty damn good.!

I am absolutely loving this energy on the forums right now. Seriously, seeing everyone get this hyped up and riding this massive wave of optimism? It’s incredible. Honestly, it just makes me think that when we finally pull off this win, the victory is going to taste so much sweeter. Don't you think? All this buildup is just making the payoff even better.😉

Our national team is so incredibly handicapped that you guys don't even seem to realize it. Seriously, where is the mid-range shooting? There isn't any!😂

The new Philadelphia Union kit

Check out those "sleeves" on the arms—it looks like they added extra grip so opponents can't grab them. I think I saw something similar on the USA national handball team jerseys once!
Aaron Gonzalez6 said:I’m still stuck on this damn enigma. What is the deal with the strongman and Dempsey? Why aren't they getting called up? It’s not even about them being "good" additions, it's just... what gives?

Dominic hasn't played any serious handball for a while now—he's basically out of the game entirely. Last I heard, he was supposed to head over to France, but who knows if that actually went down.

Spoljarić is a whole different story. Clearly, he's one of those guys who refused to "fall in line," so they tossed him aside under the guise of "youth development." Typical.🙄
northernotter70 said:The US is sitting pretty at the top of the group, and just like always, we're crushing you guys.

What, like back in Tunis in 2005? Or maybe how it went in Switzerland in 2006?🤷

Stop lying to yourself!😁😉
