Advantages: Nice lively change to design
Disadvantages: Pricey, but all football shirts are!

...Released for the 07/08 this Carlisle United home kit features a slightly different design to previous kits. Carlisle United, a club associated with Blue as their colours have had a plain blue top (not including sleeves or trim here) for around the last 5, 6 years, but this new kit, made by Le cog Sportif took a slightly different approach. This kit features three colours, With a blue area on the left, with white next to that and with the red trim (its an extended trim) on the right hand side. These sections are cut diagonally and run all the way down into the shorts aswell. The sleeves are blue. The kit therefore is not Symettrical colour wise like most kits, but personally I think it looks great. This is the second season currently that is being worn, and I think it will go on for a further year as the United home kit before being... Read review

Advantages: It's a Man City shirt, what more could you want.
Disadvantages: People might think your just too cool.

...With their best start to a premiership season ever and a position in the top 4 after 5 games of the season Manchester City have a lot to celebrate.

Advantages: good for memding small holes and tears
Disadvantages: none

The tear is only small about a couple of cm /1 inch it is near the hem of the coat. Shall I throw the coat away? The rip will only get bigger. No I shall repair it and use this waterproof coat to Glastonbury festival; I would not want to take a new one there. I know that I can buy some patches for mending nylon fabrics that tents are made from .So I went into Blacks outdoor equipment shop and bought myself a Eurohike nylon repair kit. This kit cost me £2.99. The nylon repair kit is in a small clear plastic wallet with a card top which gives instructions for use on it . . I found this pack hanging up on a display rack a hole is punched out of the card top for easy display hanging. I... Read review
