Strips ok, there has been worse..Can't say the same for the majority of those that are wearing it. :roll:

I would say the worst Aleague game is better than tonights performance.

Wasn't too keen on it at first, but seeing it 'on' last night, I think it's way better than the old one.
(Although Eugene looks like he is wearing fishnets on his arms at first glance :wink: )

Think I'll invest in one.

Have to ask but why the away strip for a home game? No big deal but just curious.

Shitful strip...also thought it sad that Nike now own Umbro...so their strips will probably turn to crap too.
First the rotating...then the Dennis Wiseing...now the punking of me on my show. That is it Big boss...No More!

I was wondering the same thing. And why have Nike publically released only the away strip and not the home one?

+1 - I thought it looked shit in the paper but it looked really nice last night - better than the last one by a long way, the splash of gold is really effective.

Since they are made from recycled bottles from asia, they are waiting on more bottles to reach landfill so they can make more strips?

fantastic strip allround. but the wearin of the away strip at home was merely a promotion thing. my guess is the next home game for the aussies they will introduce their new home one. apparently is yellow with a white stripe across the chest. cant wait.

Yes they have.

Last week, I had the opportunity to fly over to London for Nike’s unveiling of their 2010 World Cup Kits. Two of my favorite teams were involved – the USA and Portugal. Out of sheer luck, they even stood Nani (Portugal) and Dempsy (USA) together for the photo ops (see those after the click).

The big story, though, is in their manufacturing. Nike went to great lengths to keep their focus on “Considered Design” by producing each jersey from recycled plastic bottles. Eight plastic PVC bottles go into creating one jersey.

The consumer jerseys for each team (which do differ slightly from the player jerseys) also makes use of this tech. Each recycled poly jersey also includes unique printing on the inside near the heart reflecting a personal message for each nation. DTOM is there for the USA.

Click into the post for photos of the unveiling which should offer something for our Dutch, Serb, Slovenian, New Zealand, Aussie, and Korean readers. Portugal and USA as well (of course). We could not be more excited for the tournament.
