Barcelona Home Shirt 2008/09

Advantages: comfort, style, smarter than other football shirts
Disadvantages: quite brightly coloured, could be a controversial choice if you aren't a Chelsea fan

...Right let's put this in context. I come from a family of Chelsea fans and my Dad has been pestering me to get a new Chelsea shirt for a while now (mainly because none of my other ones fit me). The past few seasons shirts haven't been too inspiring so I haven't bothered, but this one is different. I'll to to explain. Comfort I love the material it's made from, it's really soft and doesn't rub like some football shirts do. I play football in it a lot and it's a really good choice. Also, my girlfriend genuinely specifically asks to wear this shirt to sleep. You know it's comfy when your girlfriend (from Middlesbrough) wants to wear it. Style I think the style of the shirt is really cool. The Adidas logo is central which is cool, the traditional stripes are down the sleeves and I think the white collar is really cool. There's also a lot... Read review

Advantages: light material, a good colour scheme, neat design
Disadvantages: feels cheap, expensive, hard to wash

...I was bought the Barcalona football shirt as a present it is made by Nike and I would expect a good quality from this brand. Not so the shirt is feather light and is very hard to wash, on the tab in the shirt it says dont not lay ontiself after washing, wash with same colours and do not use softeners,probably because the colours may run into each other. Also you are not supposed to iron this shirt, for a couple of reasons one it may melt and two could stick to your iron, it has a very plasticy feel. I also read on the tab it says keep away from fire!, without doubt we do this with all our clothes, but I find myself thinking this shirt would melt very very easily. The material is more plasticy/nylon/polyester than anything probably to aid the lightness but it isnt very durable, it could rip easy as we see many times watching... Read review

Advantages: A new look, and better than ever
Disadvantages: Price: still on the pricey side

...Liverpool have introduced a newish shirt for 2008 until 2010 until they introduce a new strip. The shirt hasn't changed much, but the slight changes that have been made, make a big overall difference. Look: There have been some changes to the kit since 2007, these include: The collar: The collar has changed from polo shirt look to a sort of V neck shape. The inside of the shirt has a new pattern instead of plain red it is now red and white square blocks with the Adidas logo on. How much and where can I buy them? There are many places where you can buy the shirts, for example you local sports shop. However I would recommend visiting the Liverpool football club (lfc) website and viewing all the shops products aswell, because they have many football strips that may appeal to you depending on how much your willing to spend, such as...
