Lifestyle were doing deals on River and Boca jerseys about a year ago. If you ever see somebody with a Boca hat in Dublin its probably me As for the Rangers thing it was when i was 8 or 9 and i still have it. Actually wore it to confession when i was younger. I realised later what a farce Scottish football is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 23, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2010 borussia dortmund Ahh Dortmund of the electric yellow. Dunno how I never picked up one of them either. All this talk is making me want to go bargain hunting. For anyone in & around Dublin, The Soccer Shop on George's Street is the best for obscure and cheap football tops. He's dear for the new stuff but he used to have racks of old stuff. Also Sportsmith down off O'Connell Street was good too. It's where I picked up my very obscure Atalanta one.

I think the Soccer Shop is closed down. Sportsmith is good but not fond of the owner. Michael Guineys on North Earl Street sell obscure jerseys downstairs for cheap. I got Boavista in there and they had other random tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted March 23, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think the Soccer Shop is closed down. I was afraid of that It was too prime a location for the business he used to (not) do. Must check out Guineys, thanks. TBH I think these days your best bet is eBay provided you know exactly what you're looking for. It's a bit trickier to flick through a rack of jerseys on eBay and stumble across mad sh*t though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I went through a stage of picking up some bizaare tops when i did my dissertation on Communism and football. Union Berlin. Dynamo Dresden. Some of the Moscow teams. Banik Ostrava (for some reason) and some more i cant think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 2 jerseys spanning 3 years as a result of losing 1 bet It was 2006, just as the two shirts were together. It was a bet with a friend of mine on the result of the England vs Holland under 21 European Championship (I think), the one where Holland won after a ridiculously long penalty shoot out. Anyway, I let him have the 90 minute draw as part of the bet because the tournament was in Holland, and as it was a draw after 90 minutes, but ultimately Holland won, the bet was kind of a draw but we both went ahead and I had to get the England shirts and as he likes Holland, he had to get Argentina shirts. I got them together on eBay for about £2 so it wsn't too bad Edit: Seems that tournament was in 2007... well either way, thats the story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korda-slovillan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I collect club crest pin badges for grounds I have been to. Accumulated a few european ones over the summer. Let me know if you are missing any, I am sure I can help Olympija Ljubjlana by any chance? I went to what was marked as there stadium on a map to find it abandoned, and disused for a number of years. I come from Ljubljana and I can only tell you that Olimpija had many problems, they were relegated to the lowest league and have been renamed to Bežigrad and than back to Olimpija again (this year is their first season back in the top division after 5 years). The stadium is still abandoned and there is really no big prospect that it will be renewed in the near future, but a new stadium is being built at another location in Ljubljana. It is not that that easy to find Olimpija products, there is no official club store, and I do not know if they produce badges at all. Maybe next season as they are changing the crest once again...

BOF Posted March 24, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2010 In light of this new info, it slowly dawns on Wainy that the missing badge in his collection would now be quite the collectors item, if he had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artetasgirl Posted March 24, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2010 I don't but I might just have to get the USA away kit - it's too nice. I have that shirt on order. I have pretty much every Everton outfield shirt since I was born too. I've got multiple Juve, Valencia, and Ajax shirts, cos I follow them, various reasons. I have a Perugia shirt cos my Uncle lives there. I have an Olympiakos and Greece NT shirt because I have friends from there. I have an LA Galaxy shirt on order (not a Beckham one). I also have some random ones Karlsruhe and Marseille, I have no idea why I have them. I have an Australia shirt, a Holland shirt, 2 Italy shirts, and 2 Brazil shirts. They are more for momentos and show, to be honest, I never really wear any of them. I collect scarves of all European games, or half/half ones if not whole ones.
