This similar sound correspondence holds true for every east Asian country, as far as I'm aware, and definitely including Vietnam. This means that 8 is considered the luckiest number, and companies and individuals often pay great amounts of money to try to get as many 8's as possible into telephone numbers and addresses and so on. This is easiest to see on scaffolding, funnily enough. By contrast, the word for the number '4' sounds like the word for death, and so 4 is considered the unluckiest number. Interesting!

mottaloo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm sure there's a geezer in china/hong kong who has just the number eight as his car reg plate (for his rolls royce) and it cost him an absolute fortune......... I mean it cost him a shedload of cash.........can't remember how much but it was over a million pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the tattoo's come with the shirt or do have to go and get a sleeve tattoo before you are allowed to buy one? Also they look like a collection of shit fiorentina T-shirts.

Keyblade Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yeah, and as lovely as that Inter kit is, it's basically the new leaked Spurs kit with different colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike doing the same shirt in a different colour shocker That same shirt will be worn by Brighton as an away kit next season.

a m ole Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Dunno what people expect with the templates to be honest, just think of the manufacturing and logistical cost of designing and making a completely unique kit for every club they pay to wear their shirts, every year? It’s just the economics of it all. I imagine if clubs wanted a special kit they’d have to request it and adjust their deal accordingly. Maybe NV can put me in my place, I guess what I mean is that it’s down to the club as much as anything. Edited June 25, 2019 by a m ole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Agree But then nike charge you north of £60 for a shirt... Can blame nike and the clubs but ultimately it's FFP That's driven up the value of the deals which has resulted in the fans having the piss taken out of them I think nike have made a lot of effort and produced some really good training gear from I've seen this year but that's £40+ a shirt now too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not down to ‘Nike giving Inter a Spurs copy’, it’s what the club agree to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
