Crystal Palace eagles track top

Classic old school track top for Palace.

Retro like.

Eagles logo on the front.

Stripes made of eagles on the sleeve.

Very classic old skool feel.  Feels like something worn in the 80s.  Material is a bit nylony and almost makes it more of a retro feel.

Spain Adidas away shirt Euro 16

This is either an immense shirt or a stained to shirt after a night out or some may say, makes you look like a doner kebab with someone spraying ketchup and chilli sauce over.  I kinda like it.  It is quite different to a lot of shirts.

The fury red shades of tiki taka.  

The badge seems more lively here than in its home form.

Sleeve is cool shape.  These XS sized adidas shirts are really fab.  The shoulders curve seam makes it look and fit more slimmer and athletic.

The design gives a non symmetrical sleeve pattern.  

The material is great, light as usual.  Not quite as fine as the German national shirt which seemed to be special.

Shirt is good from the back.  No nonsense.  This is certainly a special experimental design and it does not look like a football shirt.  More like a beach going shirt.  Which I think gives it character.  It's great to wear and perfect fit.  It's certainly one nice doner kebab if that's what you think it looks like.  Full marks to adidas for producing two great shirts for Spain this summer.

Germany Adidas shirt Euro 16

Now this is a true rocker.  Even though I don't usually rave too much about the big team's shirt.  I must admit I was very impressed with this.

Look at that timeline graphic to show the team's performance over the years.  Great touch.

Nothing imperfect about the badge.

Great neckline.  I like that engineered and designed in Germany.  It's adidas and it's made in China...  Seems like Adidas seems to spread their manufacturing across Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and China as seen all these different locations in their current series of shirts.

The sleeve and cuffs are spot on.  The cuffs give that classic German team feel.  Really nice touch.  Can't fault it.

On left sleeve it's got the years of WC success while on right sleeve it's Euros.  What a way to shine.

The back is as expected.  This is just a very smart modern classic of Germany's shirt.  It looks very simple and clean.  The fit is excellent having an XS.  It is slightly slimer even compare to say the Sweden shirt.  The material is fantastic and really does seem adidas save the best for the German team.  It's is more fine material and really feel great to wear.  It just looks hot when worn snug.  This would have been  10/10 shirt had not been the world Cup winners badge slapped in the middle of the chest.  It totally curses it and makes the shirt look a bit cheesy.  I think lots of people had pointed this out also.  They could have put the badge smaller on the sleeve.  Anyway an instant classic is turned to a questionable cheesecake with that one horrible badge.

Cool Russian tracktop

This was a tracktop for Russia back in 10-11 I think that I found.  And it is one heck of a top.  

Some nice details on the top and it feels as if it's a leather jacket.

Nice touch on one of the cuffs.

Excellent neck line.

The stripes are also diagonal down the sleeves.

I think I had seen Putin wear one of these...

And across the back.

Cool as the mafia or FSA hit man.  This was a gem.  The colours were great, black with gold stripes.  The only gripe is its rather wide and doesn't give a good slim fit which would have made it the Don.  Strange that the jacket was marked as so called "Asian sized".  However measuring it, it turns out to be bigger than ordinary sized adidas jackets of the same size.

Sweden Adidas shirt Euro 16

Here it is the shirt for Sweden for Euro 16 and it is a very smart shirt.  It just looks very simple and clean.  Just nothing unexpectedly unbalancing the shirt.  

Everything in old school positions.  Notice the horizontal stripes and shading of material.

Swedish crest smoothly embroidered.

Sleeves with nicely coloured cuffs.

Getting used to the 3 stripes down the sides.  These shirts are slightly curvy shaped don't know whether it's material stretching or by design.

Nothing scary at the back.

Very clean look from behind.  Overall I really like this shirt, the colours and the more old school feel.  One may say this is the most boring adidas shirt.  One interesting fact to note is that the shirt has slightly different material at its front compare to its back.  The front's material is like the Colombia Copa America shirt a bit nylony while the back and shoulders feels like this year's Germany shirt which I have tried on too.  That's also a very nice clean shirt spoilt by the world Cup winners patch in the middle.  So the material been combined to make the shirt.  Somewhat the material at the front feels a bit less refined.  And the horizontal tones of stripes may not be everyone's liking.

The shirt also feels bigger than say the Germany shirt which is using a similar template.  It is almost half a size bigger and is more loose round the shoulders and sleeves.  Would have preferred it to be smaller, would look better for me.

Colombia Adidas Copa America Centenario 2016 shirt

Seems like adidas answered some of our prayers.  Some of us skinny people were really keen for them to create more XS sizes so we get to wear some shirts in a snug fit without the need to fork out a bigger fortune for the players adizero editions.  I had found even a S was sometimes just a little loose for me and had wished they could have just gone one size smaller.  I had sometimes tried XL youth which works at times but somewhat it can be shorter but not necessarily more slim fit down the middle.  Anyways onto this special edition of a Colombia shirt that see them go back to a white colour shirt that was once used.  I think lots of people been slagging it off and just wanted the golden yellow to be back which it will be just after this centenary Copa America in the summer.  But I thought it would be interesting to try one of these.  I am a big fan of the Colombia yellow shirts, always wished they could have just done a XS so when I saw this one had the size I could not resist trying.

Shirt uses adidas new faux collar template.  Subtle vertical stripes with different shades of white material.  It's nice.

Colombia crest, cool as usual.  I love the design.

Perfect length sleeves and size.  The red cuffs really makes the shirt

Three stripes down the sides rather than the shoulders.  Some people would not like as adidas looses its iconic effect with it but I like to see what this change beholds. I am with most opinions that had they created the 3 stripes for this in the colour of Colombia, it could have been sickening cool.

The motto at the back.

Clean look at the back.  This is a great shirt to wear.  For me, it fits perfectly.  I hope adidas will continue to do more XS size and make it more available so skinny people like us can get the chance to get a great snug look.  One minor point was with the material. It's not as nice as it could have been.  It's light but feels a bit "plasticky" like polyester or very nylony.  It's not as refined material as you had expected from adidas. Somewhat makes it feel a bit fake.

Spain Adidas Euro 16 shirt

This is a fantastic Spain shirts, really like it and I think a lot of the fans like it too seem to bring back the old days and a bit like my favourite 82 look.  Many reasons why people like this.  For me the fact that adidas doing a XS size also is a bonus as I find the perfect snug fit.

We are back to the Spain red.  The detail on the shirt with the tiki taka triangle is great.  Nice balanced shirt.  The faux collar is not as noticeable being red at front.

The monochromed crest is a bit of a downer for some, but it's not too bad.

Excellent sleeves, great length and cuffs.

Nice triangle of the red and yellow colours on the left sleeve.

3 yellow stripes always a beauty in this colour combination.

Crisp look from the bad.  Overall, a very nice shirt.  The material is good, it feels much better to wear than the Colombia Copa America Centenario shirt.  Same template but different material it seems.
