Cote d'Ivoire Puma shirt WC 10

This was another afcon world Cup 10 template shirt made for the elephants.  The colours!!  Fab.

The cat jumping towards the elephant.

Nice badge, back then the embroidery rather rough and problems with warp and shrinking after wash as you can see.

These shirts had a very good sleeve shape.  

We love the elephant.  I really liked this template where they gave each nation it's character in the patch on the shoulder.  One of the problems with this template was that there was an inner diagonal seam that sews it together with the more mess panel that runs across the shoulders.  That inner seam can wear off and then starts causing a bit of discomfort to wear.  Basically, the seam could have been better made.

Noticed the USP Puma transfer on the bottom left has not been done cleanly on this sample.  May had been just one faulty one from the factory.  It's obviously out of position.  Also I noticed the right sleeve is slightly bigger than the left sleeve.  This perhaps should have failed QC.

Overall, the shirt is nice and perhaps if the v neck on the front could have also had a touch of green, it would have looked even better.  These shirts were also of a very decent athletic fit.  Looks good to wear.

Tunisia Puma away shirt

A rare gem, a little known shirt but of one of the most interesting designs of Puma's afcon series back in 09-10.  Somewhat making Tunisia look like Peru away.....

Nice sash, like the golden collars.

Carthage Eagle's crest.  Quite smoothly embroidered.

Sleeve length and size not bad of a fit.

From the back looks great as well.  Overall an impressive rare gem.  And it was the last shirt from Puma before they moved onto Burrda, who I have been keen to get hold of one of their Tunisian products.

Austria Puma shirt

This is somewhat a shirt that comes and goes.  It's a template that was used by several teams back in 10.

It's a very neat shirt.

Nice crest.  

Nice detail with the emblem.

Shirt is a bit too long and big else it would feel a lot trendier.  The crest while nice design is a bit like a large slab woven into the material making it feel bad to wear.

Czech Republic Puma away shirt

A shirt from an earlier template I think back in 08-09.

Somewhat before Puma went into another gear with their designs.

Crest not bad for back then.

Sleeves are mid length and quite well sized.

Nice unique trims where one side is red, the other blue.

The material is so-so.  It has got a lot better now.  The fit is somewhat very square although I think it has attempted to be snug.  The collar not my taste.  The subsequent Czech shirts been a lot better since.  I wished they sold the ACTV version of it as it looks really nice when I see the players wearing it.

Morocco Puma shirt

This was a sample of the other template that Puma used extensively for 10 with the African countries.  This Moroccan shirt was a lesser seen sample compare to say Cameroon home or Cote D'Ivoire home. Same template but differnt print design.

National symbol of star on the shirt's right shoulder.

Nice crest.  A bit rough after washing.

Sleeve is good length.  And not too wide giving it a nice fit.

Nice shirt.  I like the colours.  Only problem is the stitching for the diagonal front section with the national symbols on the mesh material is poor and prone to wear off.
