yea, and you're sooooooooooo cool...........psh.
Haha yer, it's like hes made of some sort of jacket steam the way he goes on. People are always on here saying things like adidas is cooooool, but if after they mean it for not with the same because it doesn't twice after if he said it. Berk!
For one, i'd much rather have FORMOTION shirts released than these TECHFIT crap. Adidas sure know how to nickel and dime customers by creating a "player-issue quality shirt but not quite there" tier, in between replica and player issue.
Good point, well made. T
The retro replicas are fantastic but the method of selling them is just a rip-off.
Why can't they just sell the old shirts on their own?
Well to be fair, they aren't really player-issue quality. That's what confuses me, it has some hallmarks of a player-issued shirt.
For example, the Adidas logo is a plastic / rubber-like material (the replica ones are stitched / embroidered on), the 3 stripes on the shoulders are made of plastic decal material (the replica ones are cloth stitched on) etc etc.
The same shirt however still has replica properties, for example the "CLIMACOOL" badge is still present (player issued ones have "FORMOTION" or in this case "TECHFIT" on them, "CLIMACOOL" are replica shirt quality only), the cloth seams are not laser-cut and heat-melded like the player-issued ones etc I can go on forever.
This is what gets on my tits. Are Adidas trying to sell a player-issued quality shirt, or creating this tier in between the replica and player-issued quality? What are they trying to achieve, besides nickel and diming us consumers?
Why not just release a proper player-issued quality shirt with all the same characteristics of the player-issued one, but at a hugely inflated price? I know I for one, will be willing to pay for a player-issued shirt, but not one of these "halfway there" pieces of crap where they're neither replicas not player-issued shirts.
That is not the point (you are right, by the way).
My point is that these shirts have a player-issue feel to them but still having the same hallmarks of a replica shirt. They're charging alot more for a shirt that is neither a replica or a player-issue shirt is what i'm trying to get at (while trying to create a tier between replica and player-issue quality shirts).
What is the pricing on these? I know Nike released player-issue editions before and that was around 2.5 times the price of a standard replica shirt
What are you talking about? Techfit is the true player-issue jersey (the only difference is the ones players wear either has the WC patch or the Jabulani logos as seen worn for those pre-WC friendlies). Adidas has not released Formotion jerseys though.
but im still all for nike. still i wish nike would do the same kind of project though.
I already have the techfit argentina jersey and the box is great and the jersey feels magic when you wear it.
All in all the idea is great and so are the jerseys and the way they are presented is awesome.
Techfit is essentially marketed as a compression garment anyway.
Adidas shows who knows Football better than anyone else and who simply is Football!!! They are taking care of their real job and doing great products instead of great movies...
