I am loving this Adidas new World Cup uniform release craziness. It's lovely to see that they are making all uniforms very unique. Trend watch: uniforms are getting more tight... nice!!! Here are Spain, South Africa and Russia's new kits:

Spain new kit: nice, nice.

Russia new kit: awesome.

Go take a trip down memory lane and see how many of these USA jerseys you remember with fondness (superheroes! Speed Racer! shame about the centered logo)... nausea (to be fair, the 90's boasted some hideous jerseys, but still)... or pain (ugh,... Click to continue reading...

IMHO, I think Nike failed this season in producing a wearable training kit (Exhibits 1 and 2) or tracksuit especially for Manchester United. Camman, United kit-man Albert Morgan looks like the bee-girl from the Blind Melon's No Rain music video. Sure, this black/white tracksuit looks pretty smart in the picture but combo it with a pair [.

If you haven't bought your Arsenal replica kit's yet or any other football side you support the UK Soccer Shop can have you kitted out for your team in no time!

It's been a couple of decades since I've had to endure two- and sometimes three-a-days in the brutal humidity of late summers in central Pennsylvania, sweating by the bucketload and bathing in Icy Hot. Of course, two decades ago I was also possessed... Click to continue reading...

Nice look at some of the better creations on offer this season courtesy of Backpage Football.

I think Barcelona's kit is timeless and even though they barely make a modification to the design this season's 80s style cut is perfect and we here at COS Towers are very much fans of the dark kits and think that Liverpool and Man City's away shirts are top notch.

Like some football fans, I have a pretty good collection of football kits hanging in my closet. Most of them bought to display my allegiance to United, some just used for training and a handful acquired as gifts. There are some that has meaning too, like my vNistelrooy shirt that always get the attention [. Click to continue reading...

This morning, Lyon announced on their official website that they had terminated their contract with Noel Soccer and by extension, with Umbro as well (Noel Soccer is the French supplier of Umbro). I guess this news isn't too surprising, given that Umbro was bought by Nike almost two years ago.

With promotion to the Premier League, Wolverhampton have also gained a fancy new online gambling house sponsor to adorn their kits this season. But what's different about this sponsorship is that for the first time ever, a club with a gambling sponsor will offer a choice of logos on the junior replica kits they sell either that of the gaming site or that of the Wolves Community Trust, the club's charity arm, so parents actually have the option of whether they want their kids to be a human billboard for something that will probably have them taking out ill-advised loans at some point in their life.

THE Perth Glory away kit has been revealed on the club's online store.
While the club's home kit, a purple and white striped shirt, was great mostly with praise, the away is somewhat deriverate.
But what do you think? Click to continue reading...

Addidas have come up with yet another really cool kit design, for Liverpool FC.
It's certainly not a patch on our awesome new Phantom black away kit. But it's still a quality kit.
If you want to see all of our kits over the last few years, check out the features on the left side of this blog. Click to continue reading...

Once again, Lyon have an entirely new set of kits this season. While the official presentation of the new kits won't be until the end of July, Umbro has released a really nice teaser that gives us a good idea of what they look like. (scroll down to the bottom for more pictures)

The home jersey, in white, has changed the slightest, with the stripes going horizontal instead of vertical.

So Sir Alex Ferguson has handed Michael Owen the number seven shirt for the upcoming season, which, even if he does make more signings this summer, puts a fair amount of responsibility on the injury prone striker's fragile shoulders. What's more, it seems to have riled an already unsettled United fan base, who in addition [. Click to continue reading...

Everyone gets a Michael Owen brochure. But who really needs one? Will everybody stop linking JT to Man City? Lorient unveils a horrendous new kit. So we counter with your favorites. CR9 is the new Beatles. A big American gets a big move. Click to continue reading...

With 14 clubs' kits reviewed in Part 1 and Part 2 already, here's the third installment with the remaining six of the English Premier League Hull City, Manchester City, Portsmouth, Stoke City, Wigan Athletics and Wolverhampton Wanderers. More updates to come. Just like Burnley's kit promotional shoots from the previous kit post, Hull City forgot to [. Click to continue reading...

Ever wondered how decisions are made at football clubs? Well, most clubs have board of directors while some clubs have someone like Mike Ashley at the helm to decide things like this abomination, without a doubt one of the worst kit for the upcoming season. Fortunately, we won't be seeing this zebra-wearing-a-banana-suit-inspired design in the [. Click to continue reading...

Felt bad for ditching the non-European playing clubs on the kit review post last week, so I thought I might as well do the whole English Premier League albeit in multiple posts. We did the seven clubs' kits review last week, here are seven more who has revealed their new kits. With more clubs and [. Click to continue reading...

The last time we posted a leaked picture of the new England jersey, we received an email ordering us to 'cease and desist'. Those were scary times, I tell you. So this is just a little update on new jerseys that are officially revealed on club websites. Actually I was going to do all the [...] Click to continue reading...

The above leaked photo is Arsenal's reported away kit for next season (2009/10). Arseblog published it earlier, but could it be our third jersey after images of a green kit were posted several months back? Which one would you prefer to buy? I personally think they both look pretty awful, but I'd probably fork [. Click to continue reading...

Football Shirt Culture has released a photo of next season strips for the current Bundesliga sides.

What do people think? I am loving Dortmund's shirts for next season. My favorite strip might be Hertha's third shirt, followed by Gladbach's 2nd.

The stars of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS), including three-time FIFA Women's World Player of the Year, Marta, number one WPS draft pick and Olympic Gold Medalist, Amy Rodriguez, and US National Team midfielder and Women's World Cup bronze medalist, Leslie Osborne, unveiled the league's Puma designed home and away uniforms in New York last night at a [.

As much of a supporter of the USMNT as I am, it's pretty pathetic that the only show of support my wardrobe can provide is a tattered old US Soccer t-shirt. And with the big 2-0 Border Smackdown on the horizon, it's with much relief that I greeted the arrival of our friends over at SoccerPro.com, riding to the rescue with the Nike USA Away Jersey 2008.

I opined a few days ago about the sleek, "adult" look (as opposed to some of the nonsense that MLS and adidas are foisting upon us) that recent MLS export Michael Parkhurst would be sporting for his new Danish club . . . . . . but I got further confirmation of Danish Kit Design Awesomeness while watching highlights of UEFA Champions' League action last night.

So I'm checking out a pic of our latest export to the Scandanavian Defender Mines from the website of his new club. To wit . . . . . . and I can't help but wonder if a certain MLS club wearing red with a conspicuous bank sponsor on the front might have benefited from a similar design? Not that I'm completely slagging TFC's attempt (in fact, I'd like the black/gray away look, if it weren't Click to continue reading...

Since their existence, the Italian national team has always worn "Azzurro", the shade of blue that is known in the English-speaking world as "Azure Blue". The color comes from the Royal family of Savoia, and all of Italy's national sports team wear it to this day. That's where the national team got their nickname, "Gli Azzurri".

And our good friends GoalSeattle naturally have the scoop. Sweet looking kits if you ask us. Kinda spoils the whole Seattle Kit Unveiling, Celebrity Fashion Show, song and dance thing. We were going to cover it live but our requests for a press pass went ignored (still mad at us for discovering and revealing public trademark records for lame Seattle names like Union and Alliance forcing an uproar and write-in choice no doubt), so we thank Goal Seattle for coming through with the goods early so you can see what the kits look like before anyone else.

Have you ever known that the percentage of outlandish news and rumors seems to spike during international breaks? You know, stuff like finding Cesc & Sergio Ramos dotting Milan's lineup next year.

The above insanity is the unveiling of Bayern Munich's new kit.

6 days, 4 hours, 13 minutes, and 45 seconds.

That's how long until Lyon's new kits are revealed (and no, I didn't figure out the exact moment myself - there is a counter on Umbro's website).

My question is...who is the blacked out bald guy?

Very very purple. One more reason for the Geordies to be unhappy. We won't gloat though. Ours is worse.
