Looking for a new football(soccer) jersey
My ronaldo jersey is getting small and so is my Kaiserslautern(it was a christmas present [2003]). I gave my Ronaldo jersey to my sister and I love my Kaiserslautern as its my first soccer jersey. Right now, the only jersey I can think of is trezeguet, deco, larsson or Adriano. I would like to stick away from old players such as Nesta, Makelele, Figo etc. I want a young to mid age (20-27). I was wondering if you guys had an idea of a good jersey to get.
BTW: I usually buy them off ebay
Re: Looking for a new football(soccer) jersey
Robben shirt (Number 16 for Chelsea or 19 for Holland)
Robinho shirt (Number 10 for Real Madrid)
Rooney shirt (Number 8 for Man Utd or 9 for England)
Lampard shirt (Number 8 for Chelsea or 8 for England.
Personally i'd get a Robben Chelsea shirt but thats cause support Chelsea. If you want a Brazil shirt i'd get a Kaka one (Number 8) he plays for AC Milan, is like 21 years old and one of the best players in the world.

PS, Good to see he's lost so much age, must be the training.
Re: Looking for a new football(soccer) jersey
Why not check out the U20 players ? Like Freddie Abu or that Turk sensation ? can't remember his name.

Re: Looking for a new football(soccer) jersey
Freddy Adu is good as are the up and coming U20's but no one knows there names. None of them play for major teams either. I'd go with a 21-24 year old good decent player, like the following:
Robinho
Kaka
Adriano
SWP
Robben
Cech
Ronaldo (The Man Utd one)
Torres
Eto's
If you don't mind someone who's 25-28 theres:
Deco
Ronaldinho
Duff
Lampard
Gerrard
Alonso
Xavi
Owen
and so on...

Why have someone elses name on your back? Only kids have names printed on t-shirts. What's most important is the club, which is for life - not the player who judging by recent transfers (Ferdinand, Rooney, Essien) probably has more in common with Judas Iscariot than you.
"soccerscene" on Carnaby St in London stocks a great range of domestic and Foreign shirts so maybe try their website for some inspiration.

I don't know about that - I have at least one shirt with Giggs and the number eleven on the back. He's been at the club all of his professional career.
You buy a shirt because of your favourite team - by the same token, there is nothing wrong with getting a player's name on the back because he's your favourite team member.

Names on shirts are for kids and post-Euro 96 fans. You don't need an overpriced piece of nylon ,with someone elses name on the back and a corporate advertisement on the front, to support a team. Take the "casual" movement as an example - no replica kits to be seen but no-one would really question their commitment to the team. Each to their own though.

Do you go to a lot of football matches. More people wear shirts with names on the back than do not.
Have you seen the shirt sales when a new player is signed. Don't tell me that these are all Dads buying shirts for their kids.
As it is, I only have the one shirt with a name on the back - which I bought some time ago, but I would never say that the practice is only for kids. It's blatantly not.
