Panathinaikos launched a centenary footall shirt to celebrate the clubs 100th birthday.

Panathinaikos launched a centenary football shirt made by Adidas to celebrate the clubs 100th birthday.

The club was founded in 1908 as POA (Podosferikos Omilos Athinon), the Football Club of Athens, when George Kalafatis and a number of athletes decided to break away from their athletic club, Panellinios GS, and form a new club which would be dedicated to football.

The crest and colours were first used by the club in 1919 when player Michalis Papazoglou, a Constantinopolitan, proposed that the club adopt the colour green with a shamrock (three-leafed clover) as an emblem, as used by his Chalcedon-based former club of Chalkidona. The shirt colours are green and white and has no adidas stripes on the sleeves.

I\'m utterly disappointed with current crops football jerseys from major football jerseys apparel makers (they should know who they are, cuz I don\'t need to pinpoint any one of them). For a classic example, the red line across the new France jersey is the worst career move of all!!!! The heat-pressed red line will wear-off and subsiquently peel-off after a certain period of been carefully hand-washed!!!!! How come the design did not follow the design of the Germany Euro 2008 Home jersey??? The front German flag colour design is permanently sublimated into the fabric itself, instead of being heat-pressed. And sad to say, many or should I say most of the current football club jerseys (starting from last season 2007/2008)have their major sponsors advertised in the front of the jerseys are based on heat-pressed technologies and not using the technique in which the advertisements are permanently sublimated into the football jersey fabric itself (making the advertisements permanently long-lasting). Football fans around the world are paying high premiums for an authentic football jersey, and a football jersey is considered a memorabilia, something that should last a lifetime (even though we keep buying and changing football jerseys ever season), not just a short period of time. Such shoddy workmanship of printing the major sponsors or designs on the front of the football jerseys by the major football apparel manufacturers are certainly disgraceful & are really short-changing millions of football fans around the world!!!!!!!!

Will these jerseys be worn instead of their \"2007/2008\" jerseys or are they like 4th jerseys worn once in a while?

Greek media report that the intention is for the \"2007/2008\" jerseys not to be worn again. Panathinaikos will lauch at least one more jersey (away kit-white) and probably a third one( green-white maybe). But until they do so, the only fact is that the centenary kit will be the home kit until the end of 2008.
