Denmark Adidas shirt 2016

What about this?  Another Danish Dynamite?

Its quite a decent take with the half and half shade.  Noticed the sleeves and shoulders also opposite shades of red.

Still I don't think this can touch the classic 80s and early 90s Hummel shirts that are so legendary for Denmark.  Still Adidas are trying.  I did like their Euro 2012 shirt very much.  The techfit especially cool, just that I find them a bit too heavy to wear especially in the summer in really hot places.  Which may be why they have phased out those shirts for adizero.

Nice badge as expected.

I do prefer these slightly shorter sleeves as without the stripes they can still place their patches.

The message at the back.

Nice clean look.

Russia Adidas Euro 16 shirt

And this, a rather nice shirt really.  There really is a big sale on after the tournament and can't resist when things are lying around to be picked up.  I love it when they reduce the price to sell stock all because the team did not do as well as expected.  It still does not make it a bad shirt.  Both Russia shirts for Euro 16 were pretty nice.  I somewhat prefer the more red colour of the last Euro 12 shirt than burgundy almost vinotinto colour.

I love how the crest's print on thee shirts gives the impression of lots of bugs on top.  It looks more like busy bumblebees or space invaders.  The material is very nice, it actually same as Spain's home shirt with different patterns.

The burgundy colour is nice and the pairing with gold cuffs and stripes is really pleasing.

Lots of bumblebees at the back.  Or did a cat just walked across.

The gold stripes.  Gold teeth?  

Scheduled task with Excel won't run when not logged in

Incredible that such a solution is required to get a Scheduled task to execute when it involves a .vbs creating an Excel Object which invokes a series of VBA macros to generate a report from a .xlsm template.

See this post https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/aede572b-4c1f-4729-bc9d-899fed5fad02/run-powershell-script-as-scheduled-task-that-uses-excel-com-object

And there are posts where they have described if you are invoking Excel you have to run it with account logged in.

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28407956/VBScript-won't-run-as-Scheduled-Task.html

But its seems like you can get round it and the idea that you have to create these 2 directories is very real.

(32Bit, always)

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop

(64Bit)

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

We had a task that called an Excel Object and then even though we had configured the Local Security policy to allow the account it was running as to Run as Logon Batch in

User Rights Assignment -> Log on as a batch job.  (Then add the account that the task was running as)

In Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy.  Under Security Options -> Network access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication.

If it is Enabled, set it to Disabled.

It would not execute when unattended and the account not logged in.  But add the directories, it really worked.

Then also make note for Excel and Access macros to run and allow execution from a vbsccript. Do make sure under the account profile that the scheduled task is running on, in Access and Excel option settings, allow all macros to run in the Trust Center settings.

Else Scheduled tasks get stuck when fired.

Mexico Adidas Copa America Centenario shirt

This was a shirt that I think would have almost been perfect if only it had a bit more red represented.  I think El Tri fans would also agree.  It's back to the classic colours that we will miss so this was a chance for a timeless classic.

As much as its a pretty decent shirt, it really lacks the red.  Now had they done it on the collar with a red and white trim that would have been spot on.  The V neck is nice.  It's well shaped and not too gangly.

Great badge as usual.

The cuffs are nice but again if only there was a red trim on it, that would have been superb.

Somewhat find the white stripe very appropriate although some had suggested they would have looked better red too.

From the back, it's pretty safe and sound.  As I said if only they could have added more red trim this would have been superb and possibly one of the best El Tri shirts ever in my opinion.  But as it stands it average, I still prefer the 11 Copa America shirt.

Man Utd Admiral away shirt

And this had to be Man Utd away in the late 70s.

And this was the same template as Leicester in the 70s but in a darker shade of blue.

Spurs Admiral shirt

Now this has got to be a 70s Spursy shirt.  Just without the badge.

Classic.  Hoddle...

The stripe and the sleeves perfect.  Got to admit these Admiral designs in the 70s put some of today’s shirts to shame.  They managed to design such iconic cool shirts back then without all this CAD and multi million designers.

Belgium Adidas Euro 16 shirt

Was not a fan of this when it first came out.  Just thought the Burrda shirts were so cool that this lost some of the character of the red devils.

It was the black section above the chest that I did not fancy.  Just seemed to unbalance the design

Badge is cool though.

Cuffs are one thing I like about this.  The flourescent yellow gives it a buzz.

The shirt looks quite good from the back.

Basically, plenty of potential just not my cup of tea.

Argentina Adidas Copa America 16 shirt

This is in my opinion the best Argentina shirt of recent times.  Since 86 and it's partly because the resembles it.  Weren't Le Coq just amazing.

Really like the black cuffs and black crew neck.  Even though supposedly the colour is not in Argentina's flag.  But it really gives it a classic feel.

No problems with the crest.

Nice watermark on AFA's establishment year 1893 on the sleeve.

Such a great looking shirt.  Pity that Messi could not be in the winning team for the final wearing this.  With the smaller sizes and what appears to be a shortening of the sleeves because with the three stripes gone from the shoulders, they have more place for the patches, these shirts look great to wear.  One point of interest is that this shirt when inspected carefully is one of the few in the template that has a seam visible down the side whereas the rest have the seam on the stripes.  The others tend to have a seam hidden into the stripes.
