Should I get this Jersey that's ugly and expensive???

[iSamurai]

Hello people

Yesterday many witnessed the usual thing - Germany winning everything as usual (Germany vs Cyprus 4-0), but they have got a new jersey for the Euro 2008 matches.

Oops it looks kinda old school to me... and when I say 'ugly' I meant slightly ugly lol

and for one of them, it's 70Eur (102usd)... even the children size are 50eur (73usd). I could potentially buy... er... an ipod shuffle?

anyway what do you guys think?

In the pic are Podolski and Schweinsteiger. Lukas, you forgot to pull up your socks!!!

is that for the shirt itself or the whole set

All football shirts are ugly and expensive ...

I think Podolski has it right because Schweinsteiger looks like a kid

What are you talking about

Lukas Podolski is on the left, Bastian Schweinsteiger is on the right, if that's what you're implying. Or you meant you're suppose to pull your socks down

What are you talking about

omg, for clubs, it's Chelsea all the way

is that for the shirt itself or the whole set

that's just the shirt, so the shorts will cost you some more bucks... They're milking my pocket dry!!!

 

[techlover828]

I think I like their regular jerseys much better better

The sleeves seem annoyingly long.

When I first saw those shirts I thought they were just their training shirts, they are so yucky! I have an old Fifa world cup one, that one was nice!

HAHAHA roflmao not bad photoshop skills there mate you made my day

The high resolution version is here (unmodified, of course)

I was going to buy the old (2006) one, but like buying a mac, I checked on many sites beforehand, so I didn't buy any...
It will probably be really cheap now since many sites will be clearing their stock.
But I don't want to buy an old one.

The sleeves seem annoyingly long.

as long as they don't go over the elbow.

The game seems annoyingly long.

as long as it's Germany or Chelsea winning.

it's not that ugly...but i agree the older one from 06 is better. i bought one for the world cup, haven't worn it since. i wonder what the rest of the gear is going to look like because I want a new adidas track jacket. and i'd probably buy that and wear it more often than a jersey.

70€ is a lot, so I'd buy it only if I were to regularly wear it instead of just letting it sit in the closet...

Yay, continuing with xUKCx's spirit, I've quickly made another shrinked schwein...

btw, do you guys think Joachim Löw looks emo-ish (the coach)?

 

[Lord Blackadder]

It looks kind of retro, not as good as their '06 jersey. But I kinda like it.

The worst this year has to be Chelsea's Day-Glo yellow jersey - gag.

lol, many people look dorky when there's press and cameras flashing around


And by the way, who here is actually a German football fan??? and Jasonbot, is this your favourite team, or actually, did you watch the match on Saturday night? I've heard of something called the Kaizer Chiefs when I went to South Africa few months ago, but I didn't see local football on TV. Oh well.

Those guys need big glasses and PC laptops/PDA's, then tehy'll look dorky & nerdy.

So, I just got the shirt because My parents went to Germany at the time of the world cup (but didnt actually watch any games :O)

Kaizer Chiefs is just a noob soccer (not football, in RSA its called that coz its so much more rural) team. Their biggest rivals are the Orlando Pirates and the Mamelodi Sundowns. I don't watch local soccer much anyways..
