New hertha Berlin 2008/2009 home kit by nike

Hertha Berlin launched their new 08/09 home kit made by Nike. The club was formed in 1892 as BFC Hertha 92, taking its name from a steamship with a blue and white smokestack.

One of the four young men who founded the club had taken a day trip on this ship with his father. The name Hertha is a variation on Nerthus referring to fertility goddess from Germanic mythology.

I agree that it looks like the FC Porto home jersey, but as for Nike, I don\'t think they suck.

Well, not with their quality of jerseys that is. The designs however, definitely.

That regulation is for teams in Europe only, so why there are all these teams spoliing their kits in the domestic leagues I don\'t know. Mind you WBA could have done with it in the FA Cup semi-final. Their numbers were invisible. This one is OK. Interesting about the origin of the name. I\'ve often wondered.
