Kit & fashion
Message to JT: It's not 2005 and you're not Thierry Henry. Give it up, you look like a pwoppa c**t.
Even Lampsy knows the fashion these days is for ankle socks. MORE John Terry and Frank Lampard: a

They got the badge wrong... Aaah... what's that?... Oh. Sorry. My mistake. Seriously though, it
still looks weird to see a Championship badge on a Newcastle kit. I'm sure I'll get used to it
though....
The home kit is fine, the away kit is too clever by half... You might not be suprised to discover
that FC Augsburg's new kits are made by k-k-krazy German manufacturer Do You Football, who are also
repsonsible for VfL...
Here's Herr Ballack enjoying yesterday's epic Federer v Roddick snooze at Wimbledon (16-14 in the
final set? It should have been exciting, but it wasn't). Can you spot the Chelsea midfielder? Clue:
he's the one wearing the eye-burningly horrific...

That didn't take long! Available now from Newstowear, priced just £9.99 As one of Pies' Twitter
followers just pointed out, there is one small problem with the shirt -Â they got the date wrong.
D'oh! Anyone brave enough to send...
That didn't take long! Available now from Newstowear, priced just £9.99 Anyone brave enough to
send one of these to Fergie? I'd say he's a Large these days....
City's new away kit: ... versus United's new away kit: Gotta say this is a comprehensive victory
for City's new away kit. Very classy, especially the grandad collar. United's, however, looks
exactly like what it is: an unimaginative Nike template....
The teaser images made it just about clear enough that Man Utd's new home kit features a big black
chevron on the chest. And now the strip has officially been launched, we can see clearly that this
is the...
This leaked image of Man Utd's new home shirt, complete with black "V" (an integral part of Nike's
new sportswear range) has been doing the internet rounds for a few weeks now. Many fans cried fake,
but the release...
One of my favourite Shit Lookalikes of all time, I think (to non-Scorese fans, that's Jodi Foster

Q. Who's that wandering the corridors of Moscow's Crowne Plaza hotel in nothing but his pants? A.
It's the one United player who you'd expect to find wandering a hotel's corridors in nothing but
his pants. This short clip...
I don't know in what situation a black, grey and pink colour scheme qualifies as camouflage? In the
crazy, mixed up world of Scottish football, apparently. Whether or not Puma's new away kit for
Partick becomes more popular than...
A couple of pics from Celtic's friendly at Man City: Holy high-visibility jackets, Batman! That is
one standout kit. There's no danger of Celtic manager Tony Mowbray trotting out Fergie's old "the
players couldn't see each other" excuse. Turning to...

Even getting master juggler Billy Wingrove to show off Spurs' new kit is not enough to convince me
that it's a smart kit. PS. Sorry for lack of posts today. Still waist-deep in Pies' new
redesign....
Much debate on Pies yesterday about Puma's controversial new Spurs kits. At time of posting, more
than 1,500 of you had rated the kits, with 49% voting for NASTY. Good call, people. Football Shirt
Culture has a couple of...
Nice one Puma, you faaacked up in a big way with this effort. After Spurs' elegant kits for 08/09,
this is a huge letdown. The yellow detail on the white home shirt looks nasty as hell. The whole

Rene Adler and Tranquillo Barnetta show off Leverkusen's new Adidas away kit, which boasts a white,
yellow and red McDonald's-style colour scheme. That wouldn't normally be a good thing, but I think
this kit gets away with it. Another...
Look at this piece of insania! It's krazy with a k. It's the work of a funky German company called
Do You Football. That doesn't even make sense. So this is what happens when Germans think outside
the box. The smudges...
Before: After: Take one picture of Manuel Almunia conceding a goal. Open Photoshop, change the
position of the ball (not a crucial detail, after all), change the kit and you have one shiny,
on-brand ad for Arsenal's new goalkeeping kit....
Did Arsenal get Arshavin to replicate his famous goal celebration for a photo shoot for the
Gunners' new third kit, or is this just a very good bit of Photoshopping? Either way, Arsenal's new
third kit is rather smart,...
[@ FootballShirtCulture] This looks rather like the same Nike template for Arsenal's away shirt for
last season, but there are much worse designs to appropriate. I know some Fulham fans liked the
classic simplicity of the white home shirts...

Quote of the day goes to Nereida Gallardo, one of C-Ron's most skanky famous ex-WAGs. Here she is
talking about Ron's favourite underwear, a red, elephant-trunk thong: "He puts his willy where the
elephant's face is. But he doesn't...
Rather than hire a sexy beauty queen to show off your new kit (as Linfield did), West Ham Utd
turned to celeb fan Ray Winstone (aka Ray, 52, from Essex) to show off its new Umbro home kit (that

Juventus's new home kit features black and white stripes, as usual. Juventus's new away kit
features, er, black and white stripes, albeit on a grey background. I thought the whole point about
an away kit is that it's supposed...
Nick Love did a half-decent job directing the film adaptation of John King's novel 'The Football
Factory', but then Danny Dyer did a half-decent job of torpedoing the movie's credibility. Now Love

No doubt many Hull fans will prefer the thick stripes of last year's home kit, but their new
pinstriped home shirt -Â modelled here by Geovanni - takes me back to the mid-1980s, before the
days of the Premiership and...
Next month (17 July, to be precise), indie rockers Doves - who support Man City - will play a
concert in the car park of Eastlands Stadium (it doesn't get much more rock 'n' roll than that,
folks). The...
I didn't think Newcastle Utd could do anything more to shore up their status as the biggest
laughing stock in British football, but then I didn't count on their new away kit, which is frankly
hilarious/eye-burningly vile. Two shades...
Boro's new home kit was fully revealed this morning. It's billed as "the beautiful kit for the
beautiful game", which is quite a line for a team in the Championship. Perhaps "the beautiful kit
for the ugly game" would...
FSC has this leaked photo of Liverpool's third kit for next season. We like, a lot. It's simple,
and while simple doesn't always work (I still think England's new Umbro kit is too plain), this
does the job nicely....

Ah, you're probably not looking at his hair though, are you? Becks' hairdo here looks remarkably
