Soccer Equipment Guide

A bit late with this – been a bit busy but things’ll pick up again around here during the next couple of days – but Kitbag is having a sale involving lots and lots of merchandise related to the 2010 World Cup. You can check the full list of items on sale here. It ends midday Monday, July 19th 2010 UK time so it’s best to hurry up!

In a desperate attempt to lift many fans out of depression, Kitbag is now offering up to 25% off kits and shirts of teams kicked out of the World Cup, including Portugal, Italy, France and much more. We don’t know how long this sale will last but you can see the full list of items taking part in it here.

You may not have seen this very interesting collection from Umbro yet, so here it is. In their words:

Only seven teams have ever won the World Cup and Umbro are paying homage to them with the Umbro World Cup Champions Mens Fashion range. Containing a superb range of t-shirts and replica shirts you’ll have the edge on your mates with these limited edition pieces.

And here’s how they advertise these shirts and t-shirts:

Design-wise, I find the Germany t-shirt the most interesting of the bunch. Let us know what you think of them in the comments.

To celebrate England’s victory against Slovenia and offer fans some good time until the next match against Germany, Kitbag is having some discounts up their sleeve. The first one involves England’s kit, which is 10% off for a limited time – until when, we don’t know – they may have skipped this detail due to too much enthusiasm. The second offer relates to England’s training and fashion ranges – 15% off each – plus, if you buy any item from Umbro’s Exclusive England Special Edition Range you get a free bag worth £14.99. Full offer here. That’s about it for the night.

You’d better get used with this type of post because such offers will most likely continue for at least a month. In this new one Kitbag is offering 15% off full price football boots (click here for full range) – similar to the previous one – as well as 15% off World Cup equipment (click here for full range) – until midday Monday June 21st 2010 Friday June 18th 2010 (offer was prolonged). Not bad once more!

A short one: another limited time offer from Kitbag following the “10% off everything” one. In this one you can get football boots (or soccer boots, however you’d like to call ‘em) 15% off full price (click here for full range) or 10% off any item from Brazil’s World Cup range (click here for full range). Not too shabby. It only lasts until midday June 16th 2010 UK time.

A quick one: Icons has a new, special section (check it here) on their site in light of the upcoming World Cup. In this section you can find all the signed World Cup shirts they have on stock, from players such as Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Sergio Aguero, Iker Casillas, John Terry or Frank Lampard, just to name a few.

There are also signed shirts from legends of previous World Cups like:

» Diego Maradona signed Argentina 1986 World Cup shirts
» Pele signed Brazil 1970 World Cup Shirts
» England 1966 signed World Cup shirts

Not bad at all. Do check out their full stock here.

This isn’t a very big drop in price but for those of you who were waiting to buy any of the shirts that are part of this sale this should be more than enough to make you act. Plenty of the shirts that will be worn during the 2010 World Cup are included in the sale. Here’s what’s on offer:

Long Sleeved England Home Shirt – Mens – buy here
Brazil Home Shirt – Mens and Kids – buy here
Argentina Home Shirt – Mens – buy here
Spain Home Shirt – Mens and Kids – buy here
Italy Home Shirt – Mens – buy here

The sale ends midday Friday 28th May. Good luck!

We end today’s spree of new shirt releases with USA’s new 10-11 home shirt (USA’s 10-11 away shirt already covered here). The shirt was made by Nike and will be used at the upcoming World Cup in South Africa. I reckon it looks pretty good; I like the away shirt better but soccer ain’t a fashion parade and as long as it’s not an eye sore it’s fine by me. Here it is:

What’s your take on this new shirt?

Park Ji-Sung & co will be wearing this shirt when they’re going to perform at the World Cup next month. This or the one we’ve previously covered, South Korea’s 10-11 away shirt, which is just as good looking. Here’s the shirt:
