Peru Adidas retro shirt

Have been wanting to post this for ages but so lazy.  This was picked up while on travels in the wonderland of you guess, Peru yippee....  It's one of the most iconic shirts when I was young and such a classic with El Nene and Co.

Trefoil adidas logo.

The crest is embroidered and not bad.

Collar.

Now I did not think this was original as you can see from the label.  There is even a mistake for Canada which should be CDN rather than CN.  

The iconic sash is at the back too.

The 3 stripes also not the usual spacing.  However the shirt is still great to wear.  It has a decent material for a knock off and is well sized.  

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.   

Senegal Puma shirt

Another afcon shirt probably the most typical of all.  Has a beautiful baobab tree a symbol of life.

Recent updated crest.

Overall nice shirt, simple design.  But I agree with most comments that yellow seemed to be missing or not found in enough quantity making it not look like Senegal.

Russia Adidas Techfit shirt

A red hot Russia shirt.  Although I think most people slated it for various reasons, I really appreciated it.  Firstly I like its colour, I think Russia's move to more burgundy has become popular and this move back to red was disliked by many.  But I loved the red and gold combination.

Also like the use of the flag as a sash.  

Collar is a good shape semi v-neck..  Love the attention to the detail on the fabric.  It's nice pattern.

Cool crest especially the Cyrillic writing.

The gold 3 stripes...  

Powerweb, Power Rangers....

Lovely shirt.  

Greece Adidas away shirt

This was one of the coolest Adidas shirt.  Just a fabulous design for Greece.  The cross just makes the statement.

Great crest.

Great sleeve design helm and the colours are bright and lively.  Just wished adidas could have made the sleeves shorter and narrower for that classic look.

Here is where they screwed up on what should have been a perfect shirt.  The embroidery on the crest.  It's material and quality is rubbish by adidas standards.  It's really itchy to wear because of its roughness.  Not usual for adidas.

Shirt looks great from the back.  It is a pity that they messed up on the embroidery else it's a real favourite.
