This is the new Finland 10/12 home football kit made by Adidas.
The Football Association of Finland was founded as early as 1907 and became a member of FIFA in 1908, despite the fact that at that time Finland was still an autonomous grand duchy of the Russian Empire and didn't gain independence until 1917. Finland played its first international match on October 22, 1911, losing to neighboring Sweden 2–5 in Helsinki.
Finland will use this new home kit during the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying campaign against The Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Moldova and San Marino.

It's a damn shame as the originality and brashness from the late 80s early 90s has gone. Sure there were right horrible kits but that was the beauty of it, you could identify a distinctive kit to the team it was worn by, e.g. the 1989 - 91 Liverpool flecked home kit and the tiger-print Hull City kit from the early 90s...
& oh, Litmanen is one of the best European players of the last 20 years!
I like when the adidas digners makes somethig different, like the germany shirt
... and that makes it much more interesting than the Greece shirt...
should try out --------->> www.sokker.org register as Scotland :)
Note to the CEO at Adidas...GET SOME NEW DESIGNERS
When I looked at the shirt before realising it was a Finland shirt, I thought it was a Greece kit. It's very strange, I can see teams like Derby County wearing a version of this with black panels next season. Not really sure what to make of it...
It's not Mussolini's head. It's Jean Sibelius, the famous Finnish composer.
Some of you moaners really need to get a life by the way, how many of you realistically slating this shirt, would actually buy it anyway???
That is actually a picture of a very old Jean Sibelius... The word "Sopusointu" is finnish for harmony.
