Adam's Shirt Quest

Some familiar signs in the English league system, but sounds like Germany has more problems and less drive to remove them. The gulf to the 2nd tier is definitely something we see over here too.

Interesting read, thank you.

Germany may not have reached this final, they haven't won the title since 2013, even. However, the groundwork set by the women of Germany ensured a dynasty of success before everyone else caught up. I just wish the DFB had properly built on that.

We did a thing: We wrote down the history of womens football in Germany for our international blog 'forgotten heroines'.

Yugoslavia Home and Away shirts too

Very Mauritian collar there 🇲🇺

Both the men's and women's sides went down in 2023, so nice to see the islanders come back extremely strongly on the men's side of things!

And it is plasuible, nothing I said was definitive, but all adds up to be too suspicious for me.

Saarland disintegrated before they could play in the Ehrenliga, Saarland's top flight, but they were promoted into it in 1950/51. First Saarland club in the top flight since FC Saarbrücken were relegated in 1992/93.

Guinee tends to be printed in blockier characters, no tag in collar, mismatch of number and Guinee colour, I haven't seen any photos of that particular design in use, dodgy internal tag by the Enerre one, material looks off, and it looks brand new. I'd be suspicious, personally.

Kazakhstan in the 2000's were a nightmare for kit consistency. Several shirts were used for a match or two and then changed.

In 4 AFCONs their only victory came in a penalty shoot-out in 2019 against Morocco. As an aside, 2019 was the first time their AFCON group didn't have Nigeria in it.

Correct! However did you guess...

Certainly sounds like an interesting experience! I've never had the "pleasure" of looking for a replica from the country itself, so I can't really help. Only ever dealt with swapped shirts or a Moldovan private seller.

Moldova's 2022- kits are just gorgeous. The yellow tops the list, but I now have all 3! 🇲🇩

UEFA Women's Nations League. Armenia - Liechtenstein YouTube video by FFA TV Official

Katharina Risch scores a consolation goal in Liechtenstein's 6-1 loss in Armenia to mark Liechtenstein's competitive women's football debut. A rough night out in snowy Armenia, but a fantastic goal!

FIFA Store tend to post from Europe which means import taxes. Weirdly post multiple shirts as individual parcels which makes 0 sense too.

American Samoa until someone cracked Capelli were very tricky and PNG remain incredibly difficult.

I'm really glad the size wasn't offensive 😆

I try to limit myself to actual team shirts, I do badly enough as it is. Training material crops up every so often, but I try to have SOME boundaries.

The KAK have confirmed that they've been invited to visit CONCACAF HQ on 27th February. Been a long time since we last heard of CONCACAF mobilising for a potential new member. The last time we heard such rumours, nothing came of them, but promising signs nonetheless 🇬🇱

Against Monaco too

They lost a lot of income to the fake ones, knew they were annoyed but not that much so. Also, given how many places sell them, to go after a site that just shows shirts seems a bit much.

Ignore me, deleting the reply, I've been spectacularly dumb there, sorry!

In this week's shirt history thread we'll look at Vanuatu, a few gaps in the timeline, but some great shirts.

Starting with this Adidas shirt at the 1987 South Pacific Games.

Another gap filled in the Icelandic photo history! 1992 friendly in Israel. I was expecting the 1991-92 away, but absolutely not the ABM shirt that the women's side used in Scotland. Disastrous for collection goals, but interesting historically.

Nah, Sweden away was the Puma shirt. Lovely quality video. An away of the Adidas would probably be youth football, if it exists.

That away shirt is so frustrating. I've tried so many possible sources. Also, 2000 saw this (possibly) one-off shirt against Switzerland, though I did once hear a claim of an away shirt (potentially the Sweden away match in 2001).
