Villarreal Xtep shirt 12

Been wanting to get hold of an Xtep shirt to see what it's like.  This old Villarreal shirt was a sample of a minimalist design.  But then again, the yellow submarine is a yellow shirt design.

The crest seems fine.

They give you the patches for free.

I guess they are the only feature that breaks the monotomy.

Here is the main problem with the shirt.  This transfer at the back is of a poor sticky material.  Don't know if its because of the age of the shirt causing the transfer to break down.

But the fact that it sticks means the material was a bad choice.  After a couple of washes, the stickyness seems to have subsided a bit.

Apart from the transfer at the back, it would have been an OK shirt with reasonable material.

Flamengo Adidas 16 shirt

What a nice Flamengo 16 shirt.  It's like one of these really classic no nonsense designs.

I like the colours as well.

Great crest.

The sleeves are coolly designed.

I find the 3 stripes by the side makes it look better for this than having them on the shoulder.

The back looks great.  Looks really good for a great team.

Thailand Warrix Cheer Fan shirt

Finally got hands on a Warrix shirt.  Been wanting to get hold of this Thai manufacturer's samples.  I like their designs from the start.

Nice accent on the collar.

These crests are transferred.

Same with the Warrix logo and the sleeves just look cool.

The material is not bad too.

Overall, a trendy shirt and great to see another good manufacturer from Thailand showing their style.  I actually prefer this to the actual away shirt's design.

South Africa Adidas World Cup 10 shirt

Got hold of this old shirt and interesting 10 template that was used for the world cup back then.

Some details on the collar.

The South African crest is pretty unique and distinguished in design.

Quite loose sleeve as expected with adidas.

The shirt been on the shelf for so long that this adidas label came off after 1 wash.

A good blast from the past.

Ponte Preta Topper 18 shirt

Ponte Preta are a team from Campinas, Sao Paulo Brazil.  They play in Brazil's Serie B.

This is another interesting Topper offer.

Cool badge.

It is a very big shirt.  So loose fit.  The material is also good, very light and feels good to wear.

The advert is built into the material.

It's a cool shirt and does feel very Brazilian in design.  One downside is the stitching is a bit loose and the threads been peeling off at the waist after a couple of washes.

Sao Paulo FC Under Armour 15 shirt

I find this a very special shirt.  It's crest always in the centre gives it a unique feel.  Somewhat it makes me think it is a ice hockey shirt and can be worn loose.  I thought this was a very cool Sao Paulo shirt when I first saw it in 15-16.  Seeing it on sale on futfanatics.net I could not resist.

The collar is almost v neck.

Cool Paulistao crest.

The sleeves are good, very loose though.

Distinctive from the back.  The material is good and its a unique shirt in the collection.

Birmingham City Diadora 13 shirt

This is the first Diadora shirt that I have and it was picked up for literally a few dollars at a market and I think it is genuine.

It's not badly put together.

Pretty embroidery.

The mark on the shoulder.

It was perfectly sized for me is well.

The material pretty standard and can't really say anything wrong with it.
