Newcastle United Puma Third Shirt 2020

Now this is some Newcastle United third shirt, look at the design.  It could be a goal keeper shirt but its of a dark purple shade.

The shirt has a V shape collar.  I would have preferred it was just a crew neck.

The crest is actually fluorescent green but it looks white when you photo it.  In some ways, its better if it was white and black, perfect colour for the toon.

The pattern is just wow, nice triangles and the shade.

From the back it is actually black.

The nice NUFC at the back.
 

Chile Nike Home Shirt 2018

This was an interesting exercise where I got hold of a ladies XL 2018 Nike Chile Home Shirt hugely reduced and converted it to a small M with the help of a local quick stitch tailor. 

It is otherwise quite a boring Nike 2018 template shirt. Good materials though must admit for this template. Very nice to wear. 

And with the embroidered crest it can last a whole load of washes. 

The sleeve was tailored to about the size of a XS to S - Male size

The one problem after the conversion is that the crest and logo's positions end up being a bit off, ie. They become too far apart. But not that many people will really care.  The logos themselves are actually smaller than what is found in the adult male size small.  They are rather like what is found in the youth sizes. 

Pretty boring from the back. We have tried to squared the curve ladies shape with the conversion. 

Just a star sign at the back. 

 

Hungary Adidas Home Shirt 2020

This was a Hungary shirt that I had been interested in getting hold of for sentimental reasons as it may not be so easy to get hold of another Hungary shirt at a discounted price.  I had once a long time ago seen an adidas Hungary shirt circa 2011 on sale at a sportswear sales store, I had hesitated and regretted not taking up on the offer as it would be a rare good looking sample in my collection.  With this shirt being used back in Euro 2020, it was an offer that I did not want to miss again and it is quite a decent looking shirt.

I really like the colours used in the collar.  I think had they also used it in the cuffs, it would be so classic.

The crest is also nice and interesting, I always for some reason think it looks like a gate and a crown.

The crest and the federation's badge balances out the adidas in the middle logo template design.

Now if only this cuff could have been the green white and read combo, it would make it an instant classic.

                           From the back, it is a standard design shirt.  The material is usual adidas standard.

Overall, I am happy to have this to my collection, it may become more valuable in the future.

 

Santos Umbro Shirt 2021

This is a really nice Santos away shirt again picked up from m and m direct. 

Again the crest and label are embroidered, therefore can take many more washes.

Nice crest. 

Now this shirt has a narrower shoulder and sleeve giving it a closer fit than the Chapecoense shirt. It is somewhat interesting the same manufacturer in this case Umbro can have 3 different size cuts where they are almost a whole size different in shape yet they are all S. This one is the one in the middle while the Chapecoense shirt is largest while the Cruzeiro shirt is the smallest. 

Again this is fantastic material and looks good to wear. 

I guess this print at the back is most likely to fall off after several washes. 

 

Chapecoense Umbro Shirt 2021

This was a very nice Chapecoense Umbro shirt.  Having now seen many Brazilian manufactured shirts, I can conclude that while many of them have great designs, the majority of Brazilian brands have labels and crests because they were not embroider, they don't last as many washes as you would expect before the labels wear out. That is why when the shirts are made by Umbro, Nike or Adidas, they tend to have less of this issue as they tend to use embroider methods.

 

This was a bargain picked up at M and M Direct who seemed to have gotten hold of some of these Brazilian club shirts and they are made in Brazil is well.  This sample had embroider crest and brand logo so it should last longer.

 

The sleeve shape and Umbro patterns are nice, for me the shoulder cut is a bit on the big side. 

 

As usual, the material used by Umbro is very nice to wear. 

 

It is a very fine looking shirt, just a bit too big in the shoulders for me for that nice fit. 

Albania Macron Third Away Shirt 2017

This was another pick up from a seconds factory that failed quality control.  I had previously actually got hold of a fake gogoalshop version of this shirt back in 2017 that was not that good due to material and sizing being obviously incorrect.  The was a genuine second and it is noticeably different to the fake shirt.  This was the first generation of Macron shirt for Albania in 2016 where the team used for the Euros and this was a third away shirt.  Its a very cool looking shirt and it really gave a worthy design instead of a usual template then add crest.

It shares that same "Korean" collar as the home and away shirt in this series.

The nice eagle sign flying

Has a nice sleeve design.  

The diamond details fading in towards the bottom of the shirt.  As expected the real deal is of better correct fitting than the fake.  They seem to size things incorrectly for some reason with the fakes.

At the back you can see the defect in the material, there were 2 dark blotches that for some reason had bleeded into the material from the inside.

Secondly defect found was the Macron logo press, there is a noticeable square mark left behind around the logo. 

 

Armenia Macron Away Shirt

This is another pick up from the world of unwanted seconds or failed quality runs.  And it is a very nicely made Armenia away shirt by Macron.  I see no visible defects with it and it is a bright happy shirt to wear out.

Round neck design

No problems with the crest, its finely embroided.

Standard Macron trademark sleeves.  It does look bigger that it really is, but a bit like the Cyprus shirt previously.

Mesh down on the side.

The graphic detail on the shirt is nice.  It looks a bit creased here but after a wash and dry it is fine.

It has a flag at the back.

The back is pretty much what you would expect.  Overall a nice shirt for a few dollars.
