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.

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.

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.
