ThunderPower_14 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 In Australian football teams have done the name thing a lot for one off commemorative guernseys. The only fan based ones though have been special fundraising ones, where the club had a debt to clear and everyone who donated more than a certain amount got their name on the guernsey. Other than that there have been a few guernseys that have had every player to have played for the club. The best example probably being this Geelong FC 150 year commemorative guernsey. Geelong wore that for several games in 2009. It kept their traditional hooped design while having the names as well. I think it works better as a one off or for a few games than for an entire season though. That said, AFL clubs, especially the older ones, are incredibly traditional when it comes to guernsey design, and most of them have had basically the same design for decades. The guernsey only changes at all when the sponsors or manufacturer change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 think Parma did the same thing a few years ago as well. I seem to remember a United kit around 95/96 with a lot of former players on the shirt I don't remember that, though from 94-96 their home shirt did have a watermark of Old Trafford on it.

Zatman Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 was an away kit blue and white. I remember as somebody bought it for me http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pCfhtIxrm08/UGVApXptuaI/AAAAAAAAABc/9WIEz6kKTH4/s1600/1.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Platt Posted March 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2013 I thought the Brazil game was the last time England were wearing Umbro but all the lads are still wearing the training gear what gives??

The_Rev Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Probably because it was the last game at Wembley. The San Marino and Montenegro games are away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hopefully. It seems like Nike purchased Umbro, took the England contract from them then sold Umbro. words removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 not in my opinion shit template designs and piss poor dry fit material, the last villa shirt was horrible to wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2013 Nike > Umbro 2 years ago I'd have agreed. But I think the newer Umbro stuff is swaying it back towards them. A few years ago when Umbro had the same (shit) template for every prem/championship team they sponsored was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Nike's offerings for the biggest clubs have been 90% shit. Arsenal home and away this year plus Barcalona home and away are some of the worst football kits I've seen since the "triangles and crazy polygons" days of 1990-1993 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 But they are Nike and they spend a lot of money on advertising so therefore they must be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2013 The Barca away kit this season is an absolute abomination. Bolton would be proud of that kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
