Madureira FC 2013-2014


 




Until this year I had never heard of this football team who play their football in the lower divisions of Brazil. This is in fact a goalkeeper shirt but it was just so cool looking that I had to buy it. The shirt is made to commemorate the 1963 Cuban tour the club had in which they were visited by Che Guevara who was famous for the Cuban revolution.

La Hoya Lorca Home 2013

 

 

 

 


I'll be honest, I had never heard of La Hoya Lorca until they released this crazy kit. La Hoya Lorca play in the Segunda Division B - Group 4 and are based in the community of Murcia. Lorca is famous for growing broccoli which is why they based their kit design on it. I have to say it is one of the most uniquely designed shirts I own.

Star player: I have no idea 


 This is a rather rare and cool design for a football shirt. The dolphins for me around the number 9 on the shirt make it for me. Although their shirt is quite good, their football team is not. They have never qualified for any major tournament and have only reached a highest ranking of 189 which in fairness is not very good. Anyway they often lose a lot in World Cup qualifying but let me show you a video of the Anguilla team in action in possibly one of the wettest football matches I have ever seen. Remember Poland and England getting called off for a waterlogged pitch? It had nothing on this and this match carried on. You'll soon see from the video the poor quality of football from the Anguillan's though.

Lyon 3rd 2012

 

 

This is the first 3D shirt I have ever bought and it even came with 3D glasses. I am not sure what made Lyon decide a 3D shirt was needed but the design itself is pretty cool and it does come out 3D when you put the glasses on.
