Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

Michelle Anderson11 said:Oh, for sure!!!! 😉 So, what's the move—is it better to just grab it through Nike or go straight through Manchester United???

Honestly, it’s basically the same thing, but the real question is whether you can even get stuff shipped to the States from the Manchester United site. I tried ordering a Celtic FC jersey once and they wouldn't ship to the US at all. If you're looking for something quick, there's that shop on the street connecting the hotel near Dubrovnik and Flower Square—they always have a ton of the new kits in stock. You should check there; that's where I ended up grabbing my Celtic gear.
Anyway, regardless of which site you use, it'll definitely arrive, and they aren't going to screw you over on the payment side of things. It's just like swiping your card at a local shop; the merchant sees how much you paid, and that's it. They don't see your balance, your private info, nothing. That's just how it works across all of Western Europe, and don't even get me started on America—it's standard practice everywhere.
Also, just a tip: go with the home kit, the red one. He'll get way more use out of it since they tend to change the away kits every single year. Plus, the home kit has those classic club colors. The away kit is nice (well, if you're into that sort of thing), but wearing it would be like seeing the US national team show up in neon green and yellow. So yeah, this one is the move:



nego this one:

Are you getting ready for the match, or are you just hunting for a new Heart of Midlothian jersey?👍

Nah, even earlier than that—back when they were using the one for their 1967 anniversary:



Since we don't have any centenary kits lined up for years that actually line up, let's settle for something a little less prestigious than a major trophy—but honestly, a 1-0 win at Celtic Park is just as sweet to me. 😁
Honestly, in my humble opinion, these might be the best kits in our league. When I first laid eyes on them, I wasn't just "pleasantly surprised"—I was actually floored. The design is just incredible. Even as someone who absolutely loathes Legea, I have to hand it to them: this is hands down the most beautiful kit they’ve ever produced. And let's not forget that national teams were involved too—Canada, if I recall correctly. Lokomotiva really nailed it.

Does anyone happen to know where I might be able to track down a Zrinjski or Široki Brijeg jersey? 😁

Just picked up some stuff from Bordeaux. Total waste of money, honestly. ☕

...Have you guys caught a glimpse of the new PSV Eindhoven away kits? They’re giving me some seriously familiar vibes, though I can't quite put my finger on what... (I'm having a bit of trouble navigating their website, honestly), but man, they look incredibly sharp.

David Phillips said:On a completely different note, some really bizarre things happen here in the States. For instance, if you decide to go for a stroll wearing a Dinamo Chicago or Hajduk Split jersey on a day when there isn't even a match happening, people give you these incredibly strange looks—like you're some kind of alien. But, strangely enough, if you've got a Manchester United, Real Madrid, or AC Milan kit on, suddenly everything is perfectly fine and nobody bats an eye.

I’m curious, though—how do you guys feel about the kits for the teams you support? Generally speaking, which jerseys do you actually enjoy, whether it's because of the design, the color palette, or just the overall vibe?

For me, I thought the Dinamo Chicago ones from last season were pretty decent; they had a similar aesthetic to the Chelsea kits.

As for others,I guess I'd say the Liverpool FC away kit from last season was actually quite nice.

The Celtic look is just a total classic.👍

I also really dig the jersey from Columbus Crew, that MLS side, though honestly, I think it's more because of the crest.

Do you guys have any personal favorites?

My favorites...

PSG
Ajax with the ABN logo
Manchester United with the Vodafone sponsor
Porto
Roma with the Mazda logo,
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Celtic FC😁

Oh, I definitely do!
I have a huge collection at home, and even though I'm a woman, I absolutely love wearing them.😁
I've got Ronaldo's from his days at Manchester United, his kit from when he moved to Real Madrid, a Kaka one, Vidic's from Manchester United, Naniev's, Ferdinand's, then Kranjčar's black Portsmouth jersey and that nautical blue one, plus the national team kit... which was also his.😍
To be honest, my absolute favorites are the Manchester United ones... though I'm pretty fond of the national team kits too.🙂

New York Yankees

Nobody even brought up this one:

Yeah, I saw them. Honestly, those kits are killer. I'm definitely planning on grabbing one if I make it out to the Netherlands this year. That pattern on there is actually just based on the regional flag for North Brabant — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Brabant

Look, if you just take a quick glance at the religious breakdown, it’s pretty easy to see where the Spanish have actually dominated, aside from South America... 😉

The Jersey is actually fire🙏🙏

How did our idiots not think of this... Just put those red checkers on the white Jersey right under the crest🙏😍

We had an identical jersey like this once, except ours was blue. 😉
Just plain white with that single stripe... I don't know. It feels like too much white space. Not that I'm an expert or anything, but in my opinion, it just lacks impact. Too much nothingness, if you catch my drift. 🙂

A black jersey featuring an Umbro logo like that would definitely be a hit with a lot of people 😬

I'm talking about Hajduk Split.🙂

Maybe it won't fit the vibe, but the way I’m picturing this? It'd be killer😁

So, I was bored out of my mind yesterday, so I decided to go down a rabbit hole looking at the new Dinamo Puma collection. Everything looks fine, I guess, but this away kit they've got for the domestic league is just... silver. 😁

To first and third one aren't actually that bad...

As for this sponsor, is that some brewery?🤣
