I've recently started a project to collect the national team shirt from each of FIFA's 208 members. It's going to be a long, and fairly expensive project, especially when attempting to get the likes of Tahiti and Kyrgyzstan.

Here's a blog I'm writing following my progress:
myfootballshirtproject.blogspot.com

Of course if you have any shirts that you think I may be interested in, then do let me know.

I've got to say very nice project you have here, You're already doing well with a few of the rare teams shirts, you major struggle will be with some of the smaller African nations in my opinion. But yeah Kyrgyzstan et al will be very difficult too.

Your blog is now on my reader

Cheers mate. I decided to tackle the rare ones first, then leave the more common ones for when people give them to me, or when I hit a brick wall.

I have a couple of plans for the more obscure nations, massive problem is avoiding the fakes though.

Glad you're following.

Hi mate

Definately an interesting project! I'm not 100% but I don't think the Egypt shirt is genuine, even if Classic Football Shirts are selling it!

The African fakes tend to be of a really poor quality. But this one has the correct label, and the makers badge. I am usually really critical when judging if they are fake or not.

Still not 100% sure though!

Hey mate,

Good luck with the project. I'm doing the same thing. I've sent you a message via the forum here.

Bit more of an update tonight:

BIG update:

Great update, you're getting many shirts which I've wanted for a while too but just never got around to trying to get, quite inspirational hehe.

I've just had a huge update, so far uploaded all the photos, in the middle of doing the written part, which I will make a little more informative when I have time.

Would like some opinions on some shirts.

Not too sure about the Ivory Coast shirts, they appear to be the new design with the old badge. But stuck into the back there is some waffle about it being a 'sample'?!

Likewise the Iran shirt appears to be completely genuine, except it doesn't have a label in the back.

Need to check the authenticity of the Qatar shirt, which the seller claims is from 89/90. There's such a lack of photos.

wow you have a great collection i have seen kuwait in soccer sene not sure if this will help it selling for 45 ponds in london keep up the good work

Yes I've seen the Kuwait shirt, and was put off by the price. but actually, I think I might have to since I don't imagine seeing too many about the place.

There is a Soccer Scene in Kuwait City, hence the shirts in the carnaby Street store.

re: Ivory Coast shirts, I've had a closer look and I believe them to be sample shirts, will upload photos ofmy 'evidence' later.
