Galatasaray unveiled their new 08/09 3rd football shirt made by adidas in their club shop. Galatasaray was founded in the autumn of 1905, by Galatasaray Lisesi students as a football club. In 1905, during the era of the Ottoman Empire, there were no laws for associations so the club could not be registered officially, but, after the 1912 Law of Association, the club registered legally. Galatasaray's first president was Ali Sami Yen.
" Our aim is to play together like Englishmen, to have a colour and a name and to beat the non - Turkish teams. "
Ali Sami Yen
This was how the first Turkish football club was founded. At first, the colours of the Galatasaray Sports Club were red and white. These are the colours in Turkish flag. However, Turkish Republic was not founded at that time. Therefore, this inspiration caused repressive administration of the day feel uncomfortable and the administration hounded the footballers. For this reason, the colours were changed.
New colours were chosen as red and yellow. Ali Sami Yen stated, "We were imagining brightness of yellow - red fire over our team and thinking that it would carry us from one victory to another." It eventually did.
How is this the third kit though? I thought Galatasaray wore a red and yellow home shirt anyway, so what would be the point in this shirt then? It looks nice though, the front stripe kinda reminds me of a previous Adidas design from roughly 10 years ago.
YEA WATS THE POINT IN HAVING A THIRD SHIRT THE SAME COLOUR AS THE HOME SHIRT UNLESS ITS A MISS PRINT OR A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HOME SHIRT LIKE MAN U DID IN 1999.
This shouldnt be third shirt for Galatasaray. I didnt like it at all. Our away shirt should be straight white and third one should be straight yellow. Home must be classic as we used in 1905..!
after all these panels on season 07/08 on home shirt it's a good idea to simplify shirt at all. It somehow made me feel tired while watching the match.
but on new season shirt I did not like the color yellow and red as well. as if they are not the colors of Galatasaray?! should strictly be checked by adi and the club.
anyway I have to confess I love this 3D crest really, looks expensive.
wish a successful season...
Galatasaray has been using these colours since 2005 as they were the first colours that we used in 1905 - 1950's. From 1950's to 2005 we had used red-yellow colours with different tones because of the sponsor brands. These dark red and yellow are our originall colours and they have been already trade marked.
for sure they are. however it seems colors should be more bright & slightly lighter. don't you think so? I'll buy one of these and check once again when it's on my body new design looks great and this is the club I do support in Super league anyway
Its more a "fan" jersey and a specail for the for the championship this year.
So you can buy as a Fan the classic diveded red-yellow home and a different red-yellow one.
I do not think that GS will wear them in more than 5 matches this year.
In 2 months the other 3 new one will be presented
1) HOME: classic "divided" (maybe with white shorts. still unclear. But it will be the real GS diveded one. Not like the home in the last 3 years)
It is smart but typical adidas-maybe the Spain 3rd kit could be a possible away kit with Liverpool style neck and cuffs, and the home kit could be Red&Yellow halves and Typical 8/9 adidas stripes with a French style coller and Spain style thin stripes in contrasting red&yellow.Maybe.
of course all the kits of 6alatasaray too bad ... FENERBAHCE is beter than galatasaray in all platforms ...
the biggest turkish club is FENERBAHCE !!!!!!!
