Ecuador Marathon Sports shirt

One of my favourites.  This Ecuador shirt made by Ecuadorian manufacturer Marathon Sports.  Fantastic bright design.  

Well placed crest no allergy fears.  Nice colours.  Collar is a great shape and the red makes its statement.

The shape of the shirt is fabulous.  The shoulders fit really well giving it an athletic feel when wearing.  It's around 19.5 inch pit to pit for a small.  It's snug but yet loose at the same time with its shape.  The material is light and not bad to wear.  A classic, good to see these non global manufacturers taking a lead on design and look.  Made in Ecuador as well.

England Admiral retro shirt

This was always been my favourite England shirt.  So when I saw Admiral a traditional British sports brand were doing retros.  I was keen to get hold of one.

Certainly not disappointed.  The design is nostalgic.  They can't put the crest in as they don't have the England team franchise right now.  But it's iconic design makes it.

Shirt has nice sleeves.  It is a bit big for a small size.  So not a slim fit shape.  But it's easy to get it altered by a tailor.  The material is cotton.  Good shirt that brings back the old memories.

Montenegro Legea Away Shirt

When Legea kit with international teams come into mind, lots of us think of North Korea.  But instead, I got hold of one of these Montenegro shirts to see what Legea is all about. Somewhat left a good and bad impression with me.

Firstly, the design of the shirt is rather tacky and not exactly ground breaking.  The crest's stitching leaves a lot to desire, it looks like a cheesy school kit and the embroidery is not smooth.  Looks like a thing of the past without being retro.

Even the brand's lettering looks a bit "Socialist" ;-) 

The material is OK but feels a bit "non breathy" when worn.  One thing I quite liked was the active silhouette log on the sleeve, it somewhat gives it some character. 

The sleeves fit quite well and actually good length.  The sleeve width is just above 5.5 inches so good for a slimmer fit.  The 2 slashes down the right hand side just looks hideous but its so out of shape that it begins to look quite cool when viewed from another angle. 

All in all, a shirt that could have been a lot better.  Just poorly executed considering the colours available in Montenegro's livery.  However, I must admit I like the fit, shape and size of the shirt, a small size is around 18 inch pit to pit making it definitely having a good snug fit about it which can make up for the poor design.  But there is always a "WTF is this" feeling from Legea written all over it.
