Have you seen the advert that goes with them? It's hilarious, especially the big cat swipes which make the lovely claw marks on the sides.

There's an amusing advert? Oh my word! I really must watch more telly.

Apparently the funky sleeveless ones they were wearing last time have been banned by Fifa - you need sleeves, so my mate says.

I'm not sure if it's been on terrestrial tv, but soccer am have showed it.

Am I alone in wondering if that bulge in the shorts is real?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 23 January 2004 10:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, the FURRY BADGE on the right.

This is much better than the vests.

Yay soccer am tomorrow, oh but I wanted a lie in, ah well.

(I didn't like that Mark Vivien-Foe joke)

Oh dear, FIFA are saying dud:

from BBC Sports website - Cameroon's new kit for the African Cup of Nations has been raising eyebrows but not just on the pitch.
It appears the new all-in-one red and green bodysuit contravenes the rules of the game as laid down by the sport's world governing body Fifa.

Fifa President Sepp Blatter, who is in Tunisia for the Cup of Nations, was questioned on the kit by journalists on Thursday.

"It goes against the laws of the game," he said.

When asked whether it would mean the Indomitable Lions would have to change the kit for the upcoming tournament, he said that decision rested with the Caf executive.

"But as far as Fifa games are concerned it goes against the law," Blatter reiterated.

The Fifa regulations about clothing stipulate that a player must wear both a shirt and shorts.

Cameroon ran into trouble with Fifa two years ago with the kit they used for the Cup of Nations.

They opted for a sleeveless shirt, which also contravenes Fifa rules.

It meant that they had to have a new kit made for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in the same year.

They're worse that Man U for the number of kits they have.

Pete (Pete), Friday, 23 January 2004 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but Man U don't have their innate sense of style. I mean, look at that number nine... the little slashes down the side... magic.

I was expecting something more absurd than even that. I have little to add here but this is what I would have to wear if I had stayed in the USAF for another year or so:

Not so much a bodysuit or soccer-related. Oh well. Still ridiculous looking.

That soccer (football) shrit is so going to be on every Chelsea boy this spring.
