Replica Jerseys vs Supporters Jerseys
truecoloursfootballkits.com (431 hits)The shirt I bought was not a replica as such but was officially branded a “Supporter’s Jersey”. The shirt itself featured the main sponsors logos, club badge and of course was an official Umbro product. But although it is a proper, authentic football shirt (and one I recognised as a standard Umbro template from a few years back as worn by the Republic of Ireland amongst others), its NOT the one the team plays in. So what exactly is a Supporters Jersey? More... (Football Shirts)

guardian.co.uk (706 hits)On a cold but sunny day last month, a stream of nervous-looking players, male and female, ran on to a football pitch in the southern German town of Herzogenaurach. The match was an attempt to heal the wounds of a bitter family argument that has split the town for 60 years – and fuelled the fortunes of two of the world's most powerful sporting brands. More...

A history of the modern U.S. soccer jersey
http://project2010.wordpress.com (504 hits)We’re taking a look at the USA men’s soccer jerseys of the last 25 or so years, not only to provide a bit of history, but also as a bit of a refresher before looking toward the future of the USA’s kit. My main complaint about the USA kit is that there’s no continuity. Unlike most national team kits, the design has changed drastically each time adidas or Nike has unveiled their latest designs.
